I've got a few upcoming schedule changes, special events, and important dates to share, so be sure to take a look at the graphic below and save it for later if needed. ��👀💛

As always, I'll send reminders as we get closer to each date, but I wanted to make sure everyone had plenty of notice.

Thank you all for your flexibility and support — it's shaping up to be a busy (and exciting!) summer for Chef in Boots! ☀️👩‍🍳

🍽️✨ THIS WEEK'S CHEF IN BOOTS MEAL PREP MENU IS LIVE! ✨🍽️

🚨🚨 PLEASE NOTE: PICKUP & DELIVERY WILL BE ON TUESDAY, JUNE 16 THIS WEEK! 🚨🚨

Before anyone panics next Monday wondering where their food is 😂...

This Saturday, Chef in Boots will be participating in Kidpower's Chocoholic Frolic, where we were invited to serve as one of the event's chocolatiers while helping raise funds for an incredible organization. 🍫💛 We'll be serving approximately 350 guests, so my team and I will be taking Sunday to rest, regroup, and prepare for meal prep production. Because of that, all pickups and deliveries will take place on **Tuesday, June 16** this week.

As always, this week's menu is packed with fresh favorites, easy meals for busy schedules, and some of my favorite summer flavors. ☀️🍽️

⏰ Orders due Friday, June 12 at NOON
🚗 **Pickup & Delivery: TUESDAY, JUNE 16**

I'm incredibly honored to have been invited to participate in this event and can't wait to share more about it afterward. Until then, go check out this week's menu and get those orders in!

**And one last reminder... your meals will arrive on TUESDAY this week! 😉** 👩‍🍳💛

🐘💛 The answer was... ELEPHANTS! 💛🐘

And surprisingly, only ONE person guessed correctly! 😄👏

Elephants have been my favorite animal for as long as I can remember, and the reason goes all the way back to my Grandma Elaine. She loved elephants and had elephant figurines all throughout her home when I was growing up. After she passed, I was fortunate enough to bring a few of them home with me, and they've become some of my most treasured keepsakes. 💛

So while I absolutely love elephants as animals, I think what I really love is the connection they give me to my grandma. Naturally, when Colton proposed at the zoo, one of our first stops afterward was the elephant exhibit so we could celebrate with them too. 🥹💍🐘

Oh, and hubby's favorite? 🦦 The otters! He's been talking about swimming with them for years and is determined to make it happen one day. 😂

Congratulations to Kaylee for being the only person to guess correctly and earning $9 off their next meal prep order! 🎉

🐾⚾ A little work, a little play, and a whole lot of fun today! 💛

Started the day with a drop-off lunch at the beautiful Penrose House 👩‍🍳🍽️ and then spontaneously headed up to Denver with my hubby for a zoo trip followed by the Rockies vs. Cubs game! 🐻⚾

Now for the important question...

🦁🐘🦒🐧🐻🐅

Can you guess my favorite animal at the Denver Zoo (or just in general)?

🎉 The first person to guess correctly in the comments gets $9 off their next meal prep order in honor of today, June 9th!

Think you know my husband, too? 😏

🎉 Guess his favorite animal correctly and receive 9% off your entire next meal prep order!

One guess per person for each of us. Let the zoo debates begin! 😂👇

🍽️ P.S. The new meal prep menu will be released tomorrow for TUESDAY, June 16 pickup/delivery, so stay tuned!

☀️🍽️ June is officially here, summer grilling season is underway, and this week's Chef in Boots menu is LIVE! 🍽️☀️

This week's menu is packed with fresh favorites, easy meals for busy schedules, and of course, another Summer Grill Kit for those warm evenings spent outside around the grill. 🔥🌽🍔

Whether you're looking to stock the fridge for the week, skip a few nights of cooking, or just make life a little easier, I've got you covered. 👩‍🍳💛

Thank you all for keeping Chef in Boots so busy. Every week I think things can't possibly get any crazier... and then somehow they do. 😂💛

I am incredibly grateful for every order, every referral, every event booking, and every one of you who continues to support this little business. It truly means the world to me. 🥹💛

🌸✨ May Business Recap! ✨🌸

What. A. Month. 💛

May was packed full in the very best way — catered events, meal prep deliveries, a perfect health inspection, a feature on KRDO… and even a much-needed Disney trip with my new hubby in the middle of it all. 🏰💍

And yes… those meal prep numbers are with one full week off in May because the event calendar was stacked 😅🙌 Plus, they don’t even include breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, parfaits, snackies, or add-ons… which honestly makes this month feel even more wild (and exciting!).

Every order placed, every event booked, every share, referral, review, and kind message truly means so much. Chef in Boots continues to grow because of this amazing community, and I don’t take that for granted for a second.

Thank you for keeping me busy, trusting me with your meals and your events, and continuing to cheer on this little business. I’m so incredibly grateful — and so excited for everything summer has in store. ☀️👩‍🍳💛

🍽️✨ THIS WEEK’S CHEF IN BOOTS MEAL PREP MENU IS HERE! ✨🍽️

Sorry for the later-than-usual menu drop this week! We had a birthday to celebrate yesterday 🎉, we’ve finally been house hunting 🏡, and I’ve been trying to catch my breath after a crazy busy May.

But the new menu is officially live and ready for you! 👩‍🍳 From easy breakfasts and lunches to dinners that make your week run a little smoother, this week’s lineup is packed with fresh, flavorful options to help take one more thing off your plate.

☀️ And now that Memorial Day has passed… our Summer Grill Kits are officially BACK! 🔥🍔🌽
Because let’s be honest… summer grilling just hits different. Fire up the grill, enjoy dinner outside, and let Chef in Boots help make those warm-weather evenings even more delicious.

⏰ Orders due: Friday by NOON this week
🚗 Pickup or Delivery: Monday
📲 Order Link in Bio

Go take a peek at this week’s menu and get those orders in! Thank you all so much for the patience lately — I’m excited to cook for y’all this week and kick off summer grilling season together! 💛👩‍🍳🔥

🍽️✨ Meal prep menu coming soon! I’m just putting the finishing touches on this week’s lineup… but while you wait, I wanted to share a few helpful Chef in Boots tips for ordering meal prep like a pro. 👩‍🍳

As we continue to grow (thank you!! 🙌💛), little things like ordering early, listing allergies or dietary preferences on every order, and adding delivery notes make a huge difference and help everything run smoothly from order day to delivery day.

Take a peek through the graphic and save it for later if needed — and keep an eye out… this week’s menu will be posted soon! 🍳🥗🍽️

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice — and the sacrifice carried by so many military families — is something we can never fully repay.

Living in Colorado Springs and being surrounded by such a strong military community makes that gratitude feel especially close to home.

Today is for remembrance, reflection, and honoring those who gave everything for our freedom. ❤️🤍💙

🍸✨ Little post-grocery-shopping happy hour at home ✨🍸

Finished up meal prep grocery shopping and decided I absolutely earned a mini happy hour 😄

I never got the chance to try last week’s Dirty Martini Dip… so naturally I made myself a Tito’s dirty martini to go with it. (A little extra dirty by accident lol… but honestly no complaints 🤣🫒)

And somehow the whole setup felt even more special served on this gorgeous resin tray made by The Teal Elephant using a few of the leftover flowers from our wedding 🥹💐💛 Such a fun way to preserve a little piece of the day and actually use it around the house.

Okay your turn 👀… what’s your ideal mini happy hour combo at home? Cocktail + snack — go! 🍸🧀🥨

🍽️✨ NEW MENU IS LIVE! ✨🍽️

Honeymoon 1.5/birthday getaway is officially over and I’m back in town, back in the kitchen, and ready to get cooking for y’all again 😄💛

And yes… there are Birthday Cake Pancakes on this week’s menu because obviously I had to make my birthday everybody else’s problem too 🤣🥞🎉

⚠️ Orders are due FRIDAY, May 22 at 10am for pickup or delivery on Monday, May 25!

📲 Order link in bio

Go check out the menu and help me celebrate birthday week the best way I know how… with really good food 👩‍🍳✨

✈️💛 We made it!!! 💛✈️

A HUGE thank you to all my pickup customers today for coming early/on time so I could get home, grab my suitcase, and make the drive up to Denver for a mini vacation with my new hubby 🥹💍

We’re officially calling it “Honeymoon 1.5” 🤣💕

But really… it’s my birthday trip (May 19 🎂) because the usual spa day just was NOT going to cut it with how busy life and business have been lately 😅

Very excited for a couple days of relaxing, eating good food that I didn’t cook, and spending some quality time together 💛

And don’t worry — the new meal prep menu will still be dropping tomorrow (birthday Tuesday 😄) for pickup/delivery on Monday, May 25!

Just a quick heads up though: I’ll likely be slow (if at all) responding to messages and emails while away so I can fully unplug for a couple days ✨

Cheers! 🥂

🍽️✨ THIS WEEK’S CHEF IN BOOTS MEAL PREP MENU IS LIVE! ✨🍽️

Another fresh menu is ready for y’all, and this one is packed with delicious meals to make your week easier (and tastier 😄).

A couple important notes for this week:

⚠️ THIS WEEK ONLY: Orders must be placed by FRIDAY at 10 AM for Monday pickup/delivery. My amazing prep cook, Destiny, is graduating high school 🎓🥹 and her graduation party is Saturday, so I’m adjusting the schedule a bit to make sure I have time to get organized and celebrate such a huge milestone with her! 💛

🚗 I highly encourage selecting the pickup option when ordering! Delivery routes will be capped, and once routes are full, the delivery option will be turned off on the form.

⏰ If you choose pickup, please make sure you are able to arrive within the pickup timeframe listed on the order form. I’ll be heading to Denver for a flight later that evening, so I unfortunately will not be able to accommodate late pickups this week.

📲 Order Link in Bio

Go check out the menu and get those orders in early! 👩‍🍳💛

🎓✨ Congratulations, Class of 2026! ✨🎓

Kicking off the first of many graduation parties this season with all the spring bites 😍🌿

🧀 Seasonal charcuterie
🍉 Watermelon, cucumber, feta & mint salad bites
🥖 Assorted spring-inspired crostini
🌸 Fresh flavors, bright colors, and the perfect setup for celebrating such a huge milestone

Graduation season is always one of my favorite times of year — so many exciting celebrations, proud families, and really good food bringing everyone together 💛👩‍🍳

Can’t wait for all the parties still to come! 🎉

🎉💛 Feeling incredibly proud of this one 💛🎉

And I still can’t get over one line in particular:
“First ever top (perfect) scoring meal prep business.”

Like… WHAT?! 😅

After reading that, I immediately started digging through health inspections for other meal prep businesses around town and y’all… DANG. It was actually true (at least for recent inspections… I wasn’t about to dig that deep lol). 🥹👏

To say I’m proud would be an understatement. Food safety, cleanliness, organization, and quality have always been things I take incredibly seriously, so receiving a perfect score — and learning it was a first — means more to me than I can fully put into words.

And a HUGE shoutout to my team — Destiny and Karla — for helping me maintain such high standards every single week. This absolutely would not be possible without them. 💛👩‍🍳

Thank you all so much for the support, encouragement, and trust you continue to place in Chef in Boots. This little business has grown more than I ever could’ve imagined, and moments like this are just incredibly special.

💐✨ Quick Meal Prep Schedule Update ✨💐

There will be no meal prep next week as I take a little time to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mom and family 💛 and gear up for several upcoming catered events!

As much as I love cooking for y’all each week, these little pauses are so important during busy seasons — especially when family time is involved. 😊

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support. We’ll be back before you know it with more delicious meals! 👩‍🍳🍽️

🎉💛 National Small Business Week is off to an AMAZING start! 💛🎉

What a way to kick things off…

Between another incredibly busy meal prep week, getting mine and my team’s knives sharpened on site during prep by @eriktheblade (game changer 🙌🔪), and earning a PERFECT score on our health inspection 🥹👏 — it’s been one of those “feeling so incredibly grateful” kind of weeks.

And then… to top it all off, I was interviewed by KRDO13 for their Restaurant Roundup series to celebrate that perfect score! 🤯

Be sure to tune in Thursday at 6 PM to catch it! 📺

Now… time to celebrate one of my favorite holidays — Cinco de Mayo! 🌮🍹💃

Feeling so grateful, so proud, and so thankful for all of your support — it truly makes moments like this possible. 💛👩‍🍳

🌮✨ THIS WEEK’S CHEF IN BOOTS MENU IS A FUN ONE! ✨🚀

We’ve got a little Cinco de Mayo meets Star Wars Week situation happening over here… and honestly, it perfectly reflects my marriage 😂

I’m ready to party with tacos and tequila 🌮🍹 while my husband is fully committed to a week of Star Wars (May the 4th be with you… Revenge of the Sixth… you know the drill 🤓). So naturally… we combined both.

This week’s menu is a mix of bold, fun flavors and a few playful nods to both themes — BUT don’t worry, there are still some “normal” options on there too if you’re just here for a solid, delicious meal 😄

And if you’re worried about spice — no stress! I keep everything at a nice, middle-of-the-road level so everyone can enjoy it. 🙌

Another fresh menu is live and ready for you — packed with homemade meals to make your week easier, more organized, and a whole lot more delicious! 🍳🥗🍽️

Quick heads up for this week — we have been so incredibly blessed with busy weeks lately (thank you, thank you!! 🙌💛), but to continue providing the quality and consistency you expect, I will be capping the number of orders I take each week.

👉 So if you’re planning to order… don’t wait! Once we hit capacity, I’ll have to close orders early.

Also — my delivery drivers have been taking on some extra long routes lately (HUGE shoutout to them! 🙌), so if you’re hoping to receive your meals earlier in the day, I definitely recommend selecting the pickup option when placing your order. Routes change each week based on delivery locations, so you might be first on the route one week and last the next.

Happy Easter y'all! Thank you for allowing me to spend my day in church (anyone else have sunrise service bright and early?!?) and with my family. Looking forward to being back in the kitchen tomorrow! 👩‍🍳

🤠✨ IT’S BACK!!! Chef in Boots Meal Prep is FINALLY HERE! ✨🤠

After 8 weeks away… we are officially BACK in action — and trust me, I missed this just as much as y’all did! 🥹👩‍🍳

Now, full transparency — April might look a little different. My wrist is still on the mend, so we’re focusing more on individual meals for now (a little less production than full family-size meals), and I’m also taking this time to play around with some new ideas to see what y'all love most. Think of it as a fun little test kitchen phase 😉 We’ll work our way back to full-size production soon!

🔥 You didn’t think we’d come back empty-handed, did you?! 🔥
Use code BOOTSBACK when you place your order by 8PM THURSDAY, April 2 and you’ll get FREE DELIVERY 🙌

Let’s kick things off strong — I cannot wait to be back cooking for you! 💛👩‍🍳

🥩✨ From Costco find… to full-on chef moment ✨🥩

Beef shanks showed up at Costco and we simply could not resist 😄 so Thursday night turned into a full beef osso bucco situation — and WOW was it worth it.

There’s just something so satisfying about watching this dish come together… from beautifully seared shanks, to that slow braise, to a rich, fall-apart tender final result. 🤤

Served it up with a creamy bone marrow risotto, roasted asparagus, and a bright gremolata to cut through all that richness — the perfect balance.

Now I’ve gotta ask… do we find a way to bring something like this into Chef in Boots — maybe a slightly reimagined version for meal prep or a special menu feature? Would you order this? 👀🍽️💛

Taking a quick break from our Q&A series to share something extra important 👀

As Chef in Boots continues to grow, I’m at a point where I can’t keep expanding (as much as I want to!) without bringing the right person onto the team. My goal has always been to serve more of you, offer more variety, and keep improving every single week—but in order to do that, it’s time to grow the team.

So… we’re hiring! 👢🔥
I’m looking for an experienced lead prep cook to jump in and help with meal prep and catering.
This is a hands-on role and a great opportunity for someone who really knows their way around a kitchen and wants to be part of a growing local business—with a flexible schedule and the chance to bring creative ideas to the table.

If that sounds like you—or someone you know—I’d love to connect!

And as always, I appreciate you all more than you know—this growth wouldn’t be possible without your continued support 🫶

Please share with your friends, family, and foodie communities!

🔥 Anybody remember that Cajun mac & cheese from November?! 🔥

Well… I had some extra Cajun cheese sauce tucked away in the freezer, so tonight turned into a little remake situation 😄

Switched it up a bit this time — small elbows instead of large, added bell pepper, garlic, and onion, and of course kept the andouille and shrimp (because that’s non-negotiable). No panko topping this round, but still so good. 🤤

Now I’m curious… what meals have I made that you still think about and want to see make a comeback?! 👀🍽️

💍✨ Good news / bad news update ✨💍

GOOD NEWS: We’re married!!! 🥹💍🤍
It was the most beautiful, joy-filled celebration and I’m still floating on cloud nine soaking it all in. So incredibly grateful for everyone who has celebrated with us and cheered us on along the way.

Not-so-fun news: My wrist is taking a little longer to heal than expected, and I haven’t been cleared to return to work just yet. As of now, I’m out until at least after my next post-op appointment in mid-March. 😭

For those who already have events booked with me in March, please don’t worry — they will go off seamlessly with the help of my amazing team. I’m still behind the scenes coordinating and making sure everything is set up for success. 💪👩‍🍳

This forced slow-down isn’t easy, but I know healing properly now means coming back stronger (and ready to cook up a storm again soon). Thank you for your continued patience, support, and love during this season — it truly means everything to me. 💛

✨ ONE LAST MENU BEFORE A SHORT BREAK! ✨

Before I hit pause for surgery recovery and wedding celebrations, I’m sending you off with one final week of Chef in Boots meal prep until March. 💍✨

This week’s menu is full of the hearty, comforting meals you know and love — perfect for stocking up and making life easier while I’m away.

If meal prep has been part of your weekly rhythm, now’s the time to load up your fridge (and freezer!) and enjoy one last round before a short break. I’ll miss cooking for y’all, but I’ll be back before you know it.

🕙 Orders due: Saturday at 10 AM
🚗 Delivery: Monday
📲 Order here: https://form.jotform.com/ChefinBoots/meal-prep-order-form

Thank you for the incredible support — I can’t wait to return in March refreshed, healed, and officially married. 👩‍🍳💛

🎉🍽️ IT’S MENU DAY, Y’ALL! 🍽️🎉
This week’s Chef in Boots menu is serving up pure comfort and big flavors — the kind of meals that make you actually look forward to dinner. 😄 It’s hearty, cozy, and very much a “go back for seconds” kind of lineup.

If your week is about to be full (or already is), this is your sign to let someone else handle the cooking. Whether you’re feeding a family or just yourself, this week’s menu is built to keep you well-fed and happy.
