About

Hi, I'm Adrian — the cook behind Aw Shucks Cooking. I bring home-style meals straight to your kitchen: batch-cooked dinners stocked in your fridge or freezer, sit-down meals served fresh, and menus built around what your family actually likes to eat.

Based right here in Maquoketa, I keep things simple and personal — no mystery ingredients, no upsells, just good food made with care.

Services

From a stocked freezer to a hot dinner on the table — pick what fits your week.

Weekly Meal Prep

I cook a week's worth of meals in one visit. You provide the ingredients or a grocery list. Choose Portioned (individual containers, grab and reheat) or Batch (one big dish, you serve it — costs less per serving since it skips the portioning work).

Portioned: $6.33–$10 / serving  •  Batch: $3.75–$5.00 / serving

Snacks & Breakfasts

Grab-and-go batches for busy mornings and after-school snacks — muffins, energy bites, overnight oats, freezer burritos, and more.

$20–$60 per batch, depending on size

Sit-Down Meal Service

I cook, plate, and serve a hot meal on-site, then handle cleanup — perfect for a special dinner, date night, or family occasion.

$75–$130, plus $10–$15 per additional course
