"We are always looking for different options for our monthly staff meeting breakfasts. Our meal from Nell's Gourmet to Go was by far the best we’ve had. Not only was it packaged beautifully and very easy to pick up and serve, but the food tasted amazing. The unique recipes were a wonderful change from typical breakfast foods and our employees loved it. 

We will definitely be enjoying meals from Nell's Gourmet to Go again!"

“When we started to get meals from Nell's Gourmet to Go, we really didn’t know what to expect.  But after a few weeks we realized just how much we couldn’t be without it from that point on. It has been such a lifesaver. The food is homemade, fantastic and convenient for two busy people running their own businesses.

We can choose what we want to eat for the following week from several different options of salads, entrees, and desserts.

It’s not just a service to us, Marinell is a great friend -- I’d even call her family!”

“We have been blessed with Marinell's meals from the very beginnings of Nell's Gourmet to Go. They have saved my sanity and my marriage.
 
My husband & I are both business owners who spend more time at work than at home. I can't even describe the excitement we feel on the days we know Marinell is cooking.
 
She uses real food, full of flavor and creates it all with love and intention that her clients will truly receive enjoyment and nourishment. My husband actually asks, "What is Marinell cooking this week?!" 
 
She has also cooked meals for my employees during busy weeks, and my co-workers are big Marinell fans, also!   
 
I always tell my friends this: I cannot plan meals, grocery shop and prepare the food for what I pay for her services each month. The payment I make to Marinell is the happiest check I write.”

~ Vicki ~

"I was thrilled when I first learned that Marinell was going to open her new kitchen.  Marinell is truly a delight, she has a passion for food like no other. You will see this in her presentations. 

Marinell offers the best of both worlds when it comes to dining: She affords you the flair of fine dining and the taste of home cooking in the convenience of your own home."

“Having fresh, homemade, healthy food cooked for us during the week is such a blessing to our family.  It allows us not only to eat healthy during the week but also gives us more time to spend with our children during the rat race of the work week. This service is truly invaluable to our family… and did I mention it’s delicious?!”
