About me
In the warm kitchens of my childhood, the amazing aroma of simmering sauces, freshly baked bread, cookies, and pies filled the air. Growing up surrounded by my self-taught mother and grandmothers, I was introduced to the arts of canning food, baking, rolling fresh pasta, and crafting all things homemade—tomato sauce! Those happy days spent learning and perfecting family recipes ignited my lifelong love of food and would soon shape my passion for home-cooked food.
From these formative experiences, I cooked for family and friends as a way to share my joyful hobby and bring people together. But what was once “just for fun” quickly turned into a heartfelt mission to serve my community. ​
I worked for decades in restaurants and catering—honing my craft, but somehow that just wasn’t enough.
That’s when I decided to turn my passion into a service, and Happily Ever Food was born! We proudly offer ready-to-eat, homemade meals that deliver comfort, convenience, and happiness straight to your table.
Each meal is crafted with love and care—there’s a story, a tradition, and a warm embrace in every bite. I take pride in using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible, ensuring freshness while supporting the community that has supported me.
Happily Ever Food is more than just a meal service. My goal is to share the love in my heart through food.
Mangia!
