One plan.  One price. Yet enough delicious diversity to please many appetites.Think of it as your weekly CSA box whose contents have already been transformed into several tasty, nourishing meals!I’ve eliminated separate payments for groceries, service and taxes. And I’ve done away with multiple menu levels that were a bit cumbersome and confusing.What hasn’t changed is my long-standing commitment to fresh, locally grown and organic ingredients. I still offer changing weekly menus that showcase the bounty of our region and the variety of the seasons. And I still deliver farm-fresh meals to your door.Couples and Families Every dish will serve two adults generously, often with ample leftovers to accommodate families with small children. Weekly delivery provides most meals for the week. You can easily supplement with homemade dishes of your own or select one or two Cuisine Claire Add-ons, for additional meals or to feed a larger group. Packaging is recyclable, reusable and/or compostable and meals come with clear instructions for storing, reheating and serving.Le Petit Menu is available for elderly persons with smaller appetites. (Singles like this option, too.) The selection of dishes is essentially the same, but with reduced portion size. Low-sodium, low-sugar, low-fat requests accommodated with reasonable notice. This is a great way to make sure mom or dad is eating well.Delivery is free to the following zip codes in Bellingham and north Skagit County: 98225, 98226 (east of the Nooksack River), 98229, 98232, 98233, 98273 (Mt.
