What Our Clients Say

Real experiences from families who trust us with their meals

"I have a complicated family with very different and often picky palates. Preparing meals that please everyone has always been a challenge for me. So I decided to outsource the stress and hired Sharon.

From the start, she listened carefully to all of our food preferences, sensitivities, and requests. She then created a fresh, exciting menu each week that fits our family's needs perfectly.

Miraculously, everyone is happy, and no one is complaining. Sharon has transformed mealtime from a daily struggle into something we all look forward to. I am deeply grateful to her for bringing both delicious food and peace to our home."

— Laura C

"I suffer from ulcerative colitis and really care about the type of food I put in my body. I worry about inflammation. I decided to do a cleanse and remove grains from my diet for a month. Sharon delivered food to us twice a week, and it was all delicious. I felt so much better afterward that we asked her to continue preparing food for us. Healthy and delicious is not an easy combination, but Sharon knows how to do it."

"My family started using Opal + Olive a month ago for weekly dinners and lunches and we are really happy with the service. Sharon is an excellent cook and the food is conscientiously sourced and prepared. She also has been really accommodating with our (many) food restrictions and still manages to come up with meals that everybody loves, even my 17yo son. Highly recommend."

About Me

Almost 20 years ago, while ten weeks pregnant, I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer while 10 weeks pregnant with my second son. After a year and a half of grueling treatment and the incredible gift of delivering a healthy baby boy, I became deeply committed to food that truly nourishes. I became dedicated to creating meals that are both wholesome and delicious, made from the cleanest, most local ingredients I could find. That passion soon began to spill beyond my own kitchen.

One evening, after hosting a dinner party, a friend called to say it was one of the best meals she had ever had, and asked if I'd ever considered catering. Two days later, she referred a client who needed dinner for 40. Without hesitation, I said yes. From there, I discovered a love for bringing people together around beautiful, abundant, seasonal spreads and vibrant farmers market offerings. What began as an unexpected opportunity has grown into a devotion: creating fresh, nourishing, sustainable food, now shared through personalized meal plans for families and individuals to enjoy at home.
