Next Sunday is Mother’s Day. When I was a kid, we either served Mom breakfast in bed, or made her a delicious meal for her Mother’s Day gift. I’m not sure we were the greatest cooks back then, but it was the thought that counts. If your cooking abilities(or available cooking time) seem limited, we are happy to help. We can provide ready to serve quiche for brunch, a nice casserole that you can bake and enjoy, or Mom’s favorite dessert to satisfy her sweet tooth. Call Susie at 515-451-5497 for help. She’s available 9-9 daily. She can email you a menu, take your order, or answer any questions you may have. (Any orders for Mother’s Day must be in by Tuesday for Saturday pick up—first come, first serve). Thanks!

In two weeks the Easter Bunny will come hopping down the bunny trail to your house. If you’re having guests that day for dinner, and you’d like a little help, give us a call. We can help with quiche for brunch, entrees for the meal, and a homemade dessert for later. Call Susie today at 515-451-5497 to request a menu. Or to ask a question, or to place an order. We’re here to make cooking easier for you. Thanks for your support!🪻❤️🌷

Discover the convenience of home cooked meals without you having to do the heavy lifting. Consider our ham balls. They come in multiples of 6, with ample sauce covering them. They are easy to reheat—in the oven till they’re warm, or microwave, if you’re in a hurry, or fill a crockpot for a large crowd. Pair them with our delicious cheesy funeral potatoes and a salad for a complete meal with minimal effort. Add our famous coconut cream cake or our strawberry rhubarb pie—voila!—it’s Easter dinner. We’ve got you. Dinner for 12 in an hour, and all you had to do is turn on the oven, make a salad, and set the table. Easy.
Or, consider a busy night where you come home, put homemade chicken pot pies, or a chicken almond rice casserole in the oven, set the timer, make a salad, and put your feet up for an hour while you wait for dinner to be ready. Easy.
All our meals, sides, and desserts are designed for ease of use—PLUS—they are homemade. No extra salt, preservatives, or mystery ingredients. Just food like your Mom or Grandma made with minimal effort on your part.
Call Susie today at 515-451-5497 with all your questions(she knows the answers), or to request our menu, or to place an order. She is available 9-9 daily.
We’d love to cook for you. Thanks for your support!

In 2020 we started cooking for a few people who had reached an age where standing at a stove to cook a meal had become difficult. Since then, we have cooked for older people who were sick of meals on wheels, frozen meals(full of preservatives) from the grocery store, of eating cereal or toast for dinner. We’ve also cooked for families who were busy with their lives and didn’t have time to cook—or who needed desserts for holidays, or family get togethers, or who had surgeries, or a neighbor with a crisis, or just about any excuse. We try to accommodate everybody.
We’ve added a lot to our menu since the beginning. It’s hard to keep people up to date. I’ve been asked to list the ingredients in all our casseroles by many callers. So, I made a list that can be sent to any one who requests it. Or, I can print one for you if need be. If you’d like a full menu emailed to you, I’m happy to do that also.
Please call Susie at 515-451-5497 to order, request menus, or just to ask questions. She’s available 9-9 daily. We love cooking for all our customers!🪻❤️🌷

In this day and age of hot honey aioli, roasted cauliflower skewers, and a smash burger with some sauce and cheese you’ve never heard of, don’t you sometimes hunger for just meatloaf with real mashed potatoes and homemade gravy?? Or, a homemade chicken pot pie?? Or, some soup that someone actually cut up the vegetables, simmered the stock, and served it up to you?? At Suburban Sisters we use good ingredients and cook from scratch. We make our own sauces, soups, desserts, and entrees. And, we try our best to make it as good as your own mother or grandmother would. (Or, in our case, as our Father did). So, if you’re hungry for real, homemade food at a reasonable price, call Susie today. She can email you a menu, take your order, or answer any questions you may have. She’s available from 9-9 daily at 515-451-5497. We hope to hear from you soon😊🌷🪻
