 Our Goal

Our goal is providing deliciously tasty yet healthy, home-style meals for all persons living with diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high-blood pressure, high-cholesterol, kidney disease or dialysis and those interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Recipes used are based on the nutritional guidelines of the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association.

We prepare healthy and delicious heart-healthy, diabetic-friendly home-style meals, beverages and desserts. We avoid the liberal use of salt, fat, oils, sugars, artificial ingredients and any other unhealthy practices used in modern food preparation. We make healthy food taste good.

 Catering to Diabetics

Our target market is everyday people, including our young people, seniors, working adults, persons on fixed income, social security, disability even food stamps.  We try to have something for everyone.  One of our goals for this year is providing more cooking education for the local food bank and the homeless shelters.

We cater to diabetics since the way a diabetic is supposed to eat is the way everyone wishing to maintain good health is supposed to eat. It simply means low fat, low sodium, low carb, portion-controlled foods.  That's what everyone should be eating anyway.  So, we have found the diet for diabetics affords us the most variety and best taste possible.  We get to use the foods from all the food groups in the food pyramic.  Yes, the food pyramid means something to us - it is the map to healthy eating and taste.

 Our other special diets include: renal for kidney dialysis, heart-healthy, plant-based,  vegetarian, gluten-free and other food allergies.  In the future we plan to add Krohns disease.

Renal or Kidney Diet

We work very closely with the Kidney Foundation of Ohio.  We are pleased and proud to introduce our Renal Diet for persons living with kidney disease and dialysis.  We prepare foods that are low potassium, low phosphorous and strictly adhere to foods recommended in the Kidney Diet.  Potatoes are leached10 hours to overnite,whole grains, certain vegetables and most dairy are excluded. We have found some delicious flavor enhancements such as non-dairy creamers instead of milk and the use creamed cheese.  We also severely limit the use of sauces and gravies preferring to put as much taste into the actual food instead. 

We have been pleasantly surprised that the "kidney-friendly" version sometimes tastes much better that for the regular or diabetic diet.  Unless another diet is requested by the customer, we will use the Renal Diet for all our dialysis customers and those with Kidney Disease.

We will have a Kidney-Friendly Menu available soon and are currently working on a new cookbook using foods allowed in the Kidney Diet.
