SAMPLE MENUS
I offer mostly meat-based dishes, though have plenty of vegetarian options if you'd like to incorporate some plant-based dishes in your menu. I will customize your weekly menu to what you like, your favorite foods, and any dietary needs. I make an effort to use local and seasonal produce whenever possible.
