A little life + Thunder Dog update!
Things have been BUSY behind the scenes over here! We’re officially in the process of moving to Meeker, and between packing up our lives and this relentless Oklahoma heat, the timing of Thunder Dog’s summer break has probably been a blessing in disguise.
The good news: I’m planning to get Thunder Dog Street Eats back out and serving in September! I miss the cart, my regular stops and seeing all of you.
But anyone who knows me knows I’m not very good at sitting still… especially when it comes to food.
So while the cart is taking its heat-induced vacation, I’m going back to another side of cooking that I really love.
🍴 Beginning August 31st, I’m testing out an in-home personal cooking & meal-prep service!
I’m starting SMALL, just two clients per week, one Monday and one Tuesday.
Before each client’s first cooking day, we’ll meet and build a plan around their household. Like favorite foods, allergies and dietary needs, health goals, grocery budget, portion sizes and how many meals they’d like prepared. I’ll have meal planners with ideas, but everything can be completely customized.
For those who only know me for hot dogs, there’s a lot more to my cooking background! 😊 Before Thunder Dog, I worked in farm-to-table restaurants, have done private catering at Cedar Gate Lodge, am ServSafe Certified, and have cooked everything from homemade pastas, breads, soups, casseroles and tamales to Mediterranean food, seafood, steaks and plenty in between.
Quality ingredients are a big deal to me, but so is being smart with someone’s grocery budget. I can shop for the client, provide every receipt with no grocery markup, then cook, portion everything and clean up right in their kitchen.
This is really just me testing the waters to see if there’s a need for something like this locally while Thunder Dog waits for cooler weather.
If you or someone you know would love having homemade meals prepared specifically for your household, send me a message! 💕
And don’t worry, Thunder Dog fans… the dogs will be back in September.
