Families on the go often struggle with the issues of healthful nutrition and quality time during the frenzy of work, school and extra-curricular activities. Cinco Ranch mother of three, Katie Moore, grew up in a home where dinner was always served at the kitchen table and the conversation allowed her family a chance to reflect on the day’s events. She enjoyed the tradition and – because she also enjoyed cooking – implemented it in her own home by making dinner time family time with a home-cooked meal. Over time, she began to offer to cook dinners and deliver them to family and friends in the Katy area. Dinner is Done Katy was born.

“As a wife and mom, I witnessed the battle that so many of my friends had – and often lost – in trying to be creative enough in the kitchen to entice their young ones,” Moore says. “Too often, fast food and eating on the go becomes a default. I wanted to be helpful to others through my own integration and exploration of classic meals with the reality of outside competition. After awhile, it became clear that our community had a real “appetite” for what I provided.”

In the summer of 2009, Moore partnered with friend and Cinco Ranch mother of two, Kathleen Ram, who has more than 20 years experience in restaurant management, and moved the business to “the kitchen” at 20660 Westheimer Parkway (near S. Fry).  Through Dinner is Done Katy, they offer delicious, fresh and homemade meals delivered to busy families who enjoy a nutritious and fun dinner together. Dinner is Done Katy has quickly grown into an expanded menu of family favorites like chicken enchiladas, Mom’s meatloaf, chicken tenders and flank steak, among others. Each meal is delivered cooked and ready to be served in recyclable containers for quick and easy clean up. As an added value, a simple conversational game is provided to keep families connected. In addition to family meals, Dinner is Done Katy provides a la carte freezer meals, nuts, breads, cookies, salads, snack packs and gift certificates.

“Dinner is Done Katy not only has helped my family out on those hectic school nights, but it also enables me to be able to provide meals for my friends who have had surgery or a baby,” says Jennifer Dolcefino. “Sometimes I just don’t have time to cook, but still want to help. The meals are always fabulous and well-balanced!”
