The Norwalk-based nonprofit, Filling in the Blanks, has been distributing weekend meals to children in schools, camps, and at after school programs in Fairfield and Westchester counties since 2013. Over 10 years later, and after providing over three million meal bags to food insecure children, Filling in the Blanks growing and quite literally taking their show on the road with a mobile pantry. !!!

I often fantasize about waking up to a 6 pack of donuts and a warm bacon egg and cheese sandwich nestled on a freshly made biscuit. Seriously…all the time. I’ve got issues. Well, now there is a ghost kitchen in Westport, CT where such dreams can become a reality…and they did last weekend. Introducing Grammie’s. For those not familiar with the concept of a ghost kitchen, it just means there is no actual restaurant—not in the traditional sense. You can't come and cozy up to a table, but you can order Grammie's donuts, cronuts, flakey biscuits, croissants and breakfast sandwiches (made on ANY of the above freshly baked carbs) for curbside pickup and delivery through their website. Yup. Lay in bed and hit send…Voila!
