How It Works

The concept is simple: I want to fill my heart by fueling your family with food that's made with love. I offer meal planning, food prep, and ready-to-make, -freeze, or -eat food, taking the stress out of your kitchen so you can spend more time doing whatever it is you enjoy doing.

Why? Because making meals is what I enjoy doing!  Fooding is my fun!

1) Choose a package

2) Choose your menu items . A new menu will be posted each month.

3) Fill out the order form and be sure to let let me know if there are any dietary restrictions or anything else I should know

4) I'll put the groceries into an online cart to give you a full price of groceries + the service charge on your chosen package

5) You pay your total amount due

5) Once you've confirmed and paid, I'll order the food and get to cookin' based on a date we agree upon

6) You pick up your delicious goodies at the commercial kitchen in Brookville, OH!

Meet Piston Annie!

Hi! I'm Kristin (also known as Piston Annie by beloved daddy).

I'm known for having crazy adventures in places some people would never consider going to. I invite you to ask me how much I love Cuba and Belize! I tend to move through this world a little differently, and I don't necessarily fit into a mold of reasonable expectations. I have a huge heart, and I like to find ways to love life that aren't on the typical menu of existence.

I am not a chef. In fact, I'd hesitate to even say I'm a cook. I am, however, someone who grew up in the cornfields of Champaign County, just outside of St. Paris, Ohio, where my mother whipped up homemade meals from scratch almost every night of my life until I went away to college in Cincinnati. 

I learned very early on that a major channel for love in my family came by way of food, and as my life has gone on, I've held onto that truth stronger and stronger with each passing year. Although I wasn't granted the gift of cooking via intuition like my mom was, I still love to pick up a spoon (or 10) and make meals that make hearts happy. (I just happen to need a little help from the good people of the internet who know how to make recipes do what they do.)

With this, I'd love to show you how I use food to show my love!

Please check out my page, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I can't wait for your dinner table to be adorned with my food on your plate!
