What started out as a simple post on her neighborhood Facebook page offering to cook and deliver homemade, 6-pound pans of lasagna ended up with a town filled with a hunger for lasagna.
Now known as the "Lasagna Lady," Michelle Brenner guesses she's baked more than a thousand pans of lasagna. She's delivered them to fire departments, medical providers, prisons, the elderly and just about anyone who has asked.
Michelle gets up early each morning knowing exactly how many orders she's received and immediately gets started baking. She leaves the fresh lasagnas in her outdoor pantry, making it easy for people to come and pick them up.
Michelle says she's found her purpose in life--providing love and comfort through a home-cooked meal to others who are going through different levels of anxiety during this crisis.
The "Lasagna Lady" goes to bed each night content; happy to live a life better than the best she's ever known--serving one lasagna at a time.
