Happy Mother’s Day to all of our PE Moms 💚

This week’s menu is open and full of fresh, bright summer flavors 🌿

As we head into summer break with kiddos home, I’ll be taking a limited number of weekly clients so I can continue giving each order the care and attention it deserves. Once spots are full, I’ll pause new clients for the season.

Thank you all so much for supporting my little kitchen and family — it truly means more than you know. 💚

Orders close Sunday • Delivery Wednesday
