How does Happy Tummy work?

Happy Tummy is a ready to heat dinner delivered straight  to your doorstep. There are directions in the delivery bag explaining how to heat and prepare your meal.  Heating normally just requires the use of your oven, but sometimes a pot may be needed as well.  The main dish is accompanied by a salad or soup, depending on the chef’s preparation.  You have the option of adding on a daily featured appetizer, and for those with a sweet tooth gourmet cookie dough is just a click away.  Just the daily salad, or soup, options are also available with the option of adding one of our featured proteins to make your salad an entree.  For the home cook, we offer specialty salts and rubs helping to enhance your daily creations.
