We think of ourselves as pretty creative individuals around here but often we get inspired by what others think are great, cool, new, hip or cutting edge. and you know what?  That is perfectly fine.  Sometimes an idea arises from something that has nothing to do with what we originally thought might work.  Being creative is a process but mostly a journey.

What do we get or do for our awesome Mother’s on this day?

  With so much information at our fingertips,  we are often left being stumped as to what we are exactly looking for.  What do I search for when needing ideas for our moms?  If you don’t know yet, how can you search for it?

Lately, our first stop is Pinterest instead of a search engine.   You cannot beat this site for inspiration.  Often we go in searching for one thing and come out on the other side with a whole new project, diet,  lifestyle and a new manifesto for living.  Trust us, minutes have turned into hours once you get started on this site.

 Pinterest is the ultimate in idea organization.  Pinterest is the uber digital dream vision board.  Pinterest is the  best online bookmark for inspiration. 

Pin with us!

For Mother’s Day, it can be a way to:

Perfectly melted cheddar and cream cheeses sprinkled with jalapenos on buttery grilled Italian white.

Taste just like a hot popper but BETTER!

It takes us a little to get going  around here but we are ready.  We have listened to our customers and our managers who know that online is the place to be for lunch ordering.  We are hoping that this eases those  jammed phone lines and you get less busy signals and most importantly, you are spending less time ‘on hold’ .

You can take your time and you can even choose when your order is ready for pick-ups and delivery.. up to 5 days advance ordering.

In lieu, of this special occasion, when you order online, use code ONLINE13 to get 10% off your entire  first order.

Limit one per person.
