    Testimonials

    • "I was so excited to find Basil and Bacon! I attended a workshop at Fionas cafe and was hooked! The meals are healthy, delicious and so easy. My 2 year old gobbles everything up - toddler approved easy meals! Score! No more standing in the kitchen after a long day saying - what should I make for dinner - score!! Having it often cooked in the slow cooker so all I have to do is serve it - hat trick!!! I've attended 2 workshops now and have been so happy with the set up, meals. Everything. It's awesome. Getting the girls together and hosting my own soon!!” - Jennifer

    • "I have been to two workshops now and hosted one more in my home. I love having healthy delicious meals ready to go in my freezer. As a mother of two working full time, these meals have saved my family from countless preservative ridden and fast food options because life gets so busy! Thank you Becky for the amazing meals and recipes. Several have become part of my weekly rotation and I love seeing the new ones you add over time!” - Kaeli

She was amazingly prepared. Everything went smoothly and quickly and we'll be doing it again for sure. I'm also signed up now for a home delivery, and I can't wait! Thank you SO much, Becky!
