About Provisions Kitchen

Chris is a wife, a mom, and a lifelong lover of good food. She grew up in a family where hosting, entertaining, and cooking were treated as an art form, and that upbringing gave her the foundation for starting Provisions Kitchen. The idea took root when she noticed that nearly every family she knew was juggling a full plate of responsibilities and still felt like they were dropping the ball at dinnertime. Drawing on her years in restaurant management, her degree in communication, her heart for serving her community, and her passion for wholesome, handmade food, Chris created a solution she hoped would ripple outward into people's lives.

“We sell dinner, but people buy time.”

Time for soccer practice and gymnastics. Time for church and community. Time to help with math homework, to coach a team, or to simply sit around the table and catch up.

We hope the time you gain with Provisions Kitchen serves your family well.

Outside of the business Chris has a deep love of travel, especially to the beach! She loves dinner with friends and family, warm coffee on a cool fall morning and getting to go to work with the most amazing team which just happens to include her kids!

Leigh brings a background in nutrition, foodservice operations, and team leadership to her role as Director of Operations at Provisions Kitchen. Her interest in nutrition began through her years as a competitive swimmer, which inspired her to pursue a degree in nutrition and build a career centered around food, health, and wellness. Her previous experience in healthcare ranged from working directly at the hospital level with clinical and foodservice teams to leading initiatives at the corporate level across multiple hospitals and divisions. She now brings that combination of hands-on experience and big-picture operations leadership to Provisions Kitchen, overseeing the day-to-day business and its continued growth while keeping a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and creating a great experience for clients.

Outside of Provisions Kitchen, Leigh is a wife and mom, and she loves that her career has come full circle. The experiences that shaped her early interest in nutrition and food now play a meaningful role in her everyday life, from creating meals for her own family to helping Provisions make it easier for other families to enjoy wholesome, homemade food together.

Emma is the friendly face behind so many of our client interactions at Provisions Kitchen. She loves getting to know our clients and ensuring they are taken care of from the moment they place an order to the moment their meals arrive.

With a passion for people and an eye for the little details, Emma helps make the Provisions experience feel personal and thoughtful.

Outside of work, she loves to be with her family! Her husband and two boys are her world, and with working at Provisions, she has learned so much about how to care for them with what they eat. Even though she doesn't have a food background, she loves learning about how what we eat affects everything about our health.
