Fresh meal prep, delivered across New Haven County
Cooked in Hamden. At your door Sunday or Monday. Nothing to figure out.
We’re a small kitchen in Hamden that cooks real dinners: a proper protein portion, a starch, vegetables, one sauce. We seal them, label them, and bring them to your door every Sunday and Monday — fully cooked, never frozen, nothing left to figure out.
If you live in New Haven County, we deliver to you. We also cover all of Hartford County and most of Fairfield County.
How the week works
- Order any day. The menu is always open — nine entrées plus breakfast, sides, and Strong Sauce — and it changes every week.
- Wednesday at midnight is the ordering deadline. Whatever's in your cart by then is on that weekend's delivery.
- Sunday or Monday, it's at your door. You pick the day; your town sets the window — morning (8 am–1 pm) or afternoon (1–6 pm), listed below. Or pick up at our kitchen in Hamden.
- Heat and eat. Every meal is fully cooked and labeled. Two to three minutes and dinner's on the table.
No contracts. Order à la carte — nothing to commit to. Most entrées run $15–18.
Why New Haven County households use us instead of the national boxes
A national box is either a bag of raw ingredients you still have to cook or a frozen tray shipped from three states away. Ours is dinner, cooked a few miles from your house by people you can email, delivered by the same driver most weeks.
Our customers are nurses coming off a shift at Yale New Haven, lawyers who get home at eight, parents running three kids to three fields, and plenty of people who just don’t want to cook on a Tuesday. What they have in common: they’d rather have the week’s food handled than think about it.

Frequently asked
Do I have to subscribe?
No — you can order à la carte any week. There’s a flexible membership if you’d rather have the week handled automatically; it’s easy to pause or cancel.
When do I have to order by?
Wednesday at midnight for delivery that Sunday or Monday.
Do you deliver on a specific day to my town?
You choose Sunday or Monday at checkout. Each town has a set window — morning or afternoon — listed above, so you know when to expect us.
Can I pick up instead?
Yes — at our kitchen, 109 Sanford St, Building 2, Hamden.
Is this healthy?
Every meal is built around a real protein portion with balanced sides, and every label shows the nutrition. But honestly, most people order because it tastes good and it's handled — not because of the numbers.
Looking for meal planning services in New Haven County?
That’s exactly what we do — for people who hate to cook or just don’t have the time. You don’t plan anything. A new menu goes up every week (nine entrées, breakfast, and the on-the-go shelf), you pick what you want by Wednesday at midnight, and fully cooked meals arrive Sunday or Monday, ready to heat. The shopping, the cooking, and the “what’s for dinner” question are handled for the week.
Searching “prepared meals near me” from New Haven, Hamden, or the shoreline?
We’re the local version: cooked in Hamden and delivered to your door across New Haven County on Sunday and Monday, or picked up at the kitchen. Fresh, never frozen, never shipped in a box — real meals, portioned and labeled, so weeknights take care of themselves. And our customers are blown away by how good the food is!
Common questions
What if nobody’s home?
Leave a cooler outside and we’ll pack your meals into it. You can buy one from us, or join a membership and get one free with your first order. Either way you’ll get a text when your order is on its way, and another once it’s been delivered.
Can I skip a week?
Yes. There are no contracts and no subscription, so you order the weeks you want and skip the ones you don’t. Nothing to pause, nothing to cancel.
How long do the meals keep?
Seven days in the refrigerator. A Sunday delivery covers you through the following weekend.
Is there a minimum order?
Delivery has a $50 minimum plus a $10 delivery fee. Pickup at our Hamden kitchen has no minimum at all.
