Nothing makes me happier than helping to promote small businesses in Michigan. Today’s post features Hammack’s Catering, which is the brainchild of my school friend’s culinary-talented hubby, Chris.

Hammack’s Catering operates out of Livingston and Washtenaw counties in Michigan, and caters events of all sizes, including weddings, dinner parties, birthday parties, and more. Chef Chris is a graduate of Schoolcraft College’s prestigious culinary arts program, so you know he takes his cooking seriously!

The aspect of their business they have shared with me are their gourmet oven-ready meal service, which delivers healthy meals right to your door. I don’t know about you all, but there are MANY days during the week I just don’t feel like cooking, but know I can’t take my kids out past 3 p.m. out of fear they may want to scream and run come dinner time.

Healthy meal delivery is the perfect solution! This is a great local service for families like mine with small children, single parents, homebound seniors, or even new moms. {Hello? This would be a GREAT gift idea for the holidays, too!}

My family was able to try a meal prepared by the company and YUM! It was awesome. Our meals consisted of lemon-basil chicken, garlic/herb roasted red skin potatoes and green beans with almonds. Everything tasted great, but I especially loved the potatoes. It all came in a microwave container, so we could just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes and boom! Dinner was served.

The girls received whole wheat spaghetti with hidden veggie pasta sauce, with a side of carrots for Kinley and sliced grapes for Karina {our near-toothless child}. Ours was good, but I’m not gonna lie, the hubby and I were in love with the girls’ pasta, too!

We couldn’t believe how fast they both ate it…They LOVED it. And I was happy knowing that there were plenty of hidden nutrients in it. Thanks, Chef Chris! You have two happy little customers.
