Cheerful Heart Catering typically specializes in larger events. But in the time of quarantine, that is all but nonexistent. So, this savvy business has created a daily special for individuals to purchase. I think this is a great idea - they can still cook in bulk, and the public gets to enjoy a homecooked meal that we may not have had access to otherwise.



Located on the West Side, Cheerful Heart Catering listed a weekly menu, which included options like BBQ, stuffed chicken and lasagna - that last of which caught my eye. "Contessa Laura's Lasagna with salad and garlic bread."  



It was easy peasy - I called in and told them I'd like one. The meal is already prepared, so I drove right over and had them hand it to me curbside. Once I got home, I dug into the salad first, which was a handful of lettuce some cucumbers and tomatoes with a side of ranch dressing.



The large square of lasagna was the comfort food I was looking for. Layers of pasta, ground beef and some cheese - though I always think more cheese is better. It was piping hot and perfectly accompanied by a slice of garlic bread.



And, to my surprise, there was dessert AND a bottle of water - all for $8. The dessert was a gooey brownie with marshmallow and it was delicious.
