Hi, I’m Mary Beth Maly—the cook behind Very Mary Meals.
I love to cook, but mostly I love to feed others.
Very Mary Meals was created for people in the thick of real life: busy parents and professionals, families, and individuals who are managing a lot and still trying to get a good meal on the table.
I know how much mental energy goes into meal planning—figuring out what’s for dinner, making the grocery list, cooking, cleaning, and doing it all over again the next day. I also understand the “sandwich generation” season of life, where you may be caring for both kids and aging parents at the same time. In fact, some of my clients are adult children coordinating meals for an older parent—because food can be such a meaningful form of care
My goal is simple: make dinner feel easier and more enjoyable. All meals are made with care and intention - using high-quality ingredients and made in fresh, small batches. Entrees, sides, and salads are thoughtfully paired to create a balanced, well-curated meal.
I didn’t set out to start a business, I just wanted to feed my family well.
Between busy school schedules, sports practices, and everyday life with three kids, I found myself in the kitchen constantly - trying to make meals that were nourishing, realistic, and something everyone would actually eat. Friends started asking if I would make extra. Then more friends and family started asking and I moved my weekly meal prepping into a commercial kitchen.
What started as helping a few friends quickly turned into something bigger - a weekly rhythm of cooking, packaging, and serving families who wanted real food without the stress.
I’d love to help you and your family as well.
No subscription, and no commitment!
