Famfare Kitchen prepares hot, homemade, family-style meals for busy families. Made fresh daily and delivered hot at dinnertime, our meals are designed to bring families together - and to give parents a night off from dinner duty and a chance to reconnect over a homemade meal without the stress and mess of cooking at home.
It's a simple idea. And an awesome concept. We hope you love it as much as we do.

I was a stay-at-home-mom for four years and did a lot of cooking. During that time, I noticed my working-mom friends did little to no cooking; they just didn't have the time or energy to make it all happen when juggling career demands, family activities and household chores.

I was a stay-at-home-mom for four years and did a lot of cooking. During that time, I noticed my working-mom friends did little to no cooking; they just didn't have the time or energy to make it all happen when juggling career demands, family activities and household chores.
Lives have become more busy, but the importance of eating as a family hasn't changed. So I thought - I can help these moms. Jen and I started making hot, family-style meals out of my kitchen for 15 families over six weeks. We cooked and they picked up a fully prepared dinner between 5-6PM. People were grateful for the meal and in love with stress-free evening our service provided. And sometimes they even sat down as a family for dinner.
As they say, the rest is history. To date, Famfare has prepared scratch-made meals for thousands of families across the metro. - Libby

I moved here from Pittsburgh eight years ago and Libby was my first Minnesota friend. She was full of energy and when she told me about her idea I knew it was something I could support.
I too grew up eating dinner with my family on a nightly basis. My family is Italian and my parents own a grocery store so food has always been the main event at our house.
As a dietitian, I also understand the real benefits of eating healthy, wholesome food.
When we plan the menus for Famfare we work to keep our meals healthy and balanced using fresh vegetables, lean meats and quality ingredients. All of our meals are made from scratch - and that in itself makes our meals a tastier - and healthier option - for growing families. Can't wait to bring this business to the "Burgh. - Jen
