Experience the HMBC difference that Pittsburgh is talking about
Homemade food that nourishes body, mind and soul lives within my DNA. From a young age my mother, grandmother & grandfather taught me how to cook & bake for the people that I love.
Today I am cooking for over 500 families in Pittsburgh and have never felt that purposeful and fulfilled in my life. Every day of the week I am showing up for my family of customers, cooking with love and dedication.
I am not a big business that has an industrial kitchen and orders their supplies from big box food supply companies like Sysco. My team and I source our ingredients as fresh and locally as possible, ensuring we deliver premium quality for the best price.
After serving my customers for over 8 years, I understand what kind of a difference my homemade food meal prep service makes in Pittsburgh. From stressed Moms, over to busy singles and retirees that love good food – my meals change lives.
If you’re curious what they say about the healthy, fresh & homemade food that we are delivering each week to their doorstep, check out their testimonials and stories.

Frequently asked questions about our meal prep service in Pittsburgh, PA
How do you keep the ingredients in your meals so fresh?
I shop multiple times a week to source our ingredients as fresh as possible, and our meals are made fresh weekly, never frozen!
Can you adjust meals for allergies or dietary restrictions?
Reach out to me via text at 412-515-6445 and let me know your dietary preferences, and I will do my best to accommodate. Small changes such as reducing carbs and adding more veggies, or omitting cheese, can be made.
How does your meal prep service compare to me just popping over to the grocery store?

- Time Savings: We take care of the meal planning, ingredient sourcing, cooking, and even the cleanup! That's more time for the things you love.
- Fresh and Local: Our ingredients are as fresh as possible, emphasizing local suppliers when available. No more wilting produce or forgotten items spoiling in the fridge.

I've had some bland meal prep delivery before. How’s the taste here?
We understand the hesitation! At Homemade by Colleen, flavor is everything. Here's why our meals stand out:

Do I need to be home when the food arrives?
If you won’t be home on the day of delivery, please leave a cooler out front, and one of my drivers will put your food in there and text you once the delivery has been made.
Can I try before diving in?
I'm sorry, we're a small business so we don’t offer free first-time meals, but we do have a low minimum order for deliveries. If you're a first-time customer, order 2 meals to try, and I'm certain you won't be disappointed. You can also check out screenshots of our many happy customers praising our food!
Are the portions going to be enough? I’ve got a big appetite!
We have some of the largest portion sizes around for prepared meal services. Many of our customers even say they have leftovers! As a proud Italian mother, I truly want to make sure everyone always has enough to eat!
