ON EARTH AS IT IS IN THE
UPSIDE-DOWN KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

WHO WE ARE

OH HAY, IT'S FRANKIE & CAY!

WE'RE THE TWO KING JESUS-SERVING, NEURODIVERGENT FOODIES THAT RUN THE OPERATION. FRANKIE'S THE TALL ONE WITH THE IDEAS & CAY IS THE SHORT ONE THAT BRINGS THEM TO LIFE, WITH ALL GLORY GIVEN TO CHRIST OUR KING!

OUR STORY

WHEN I (CAY) WAS A KID, MY MOM PIONEERED A MINISTRY CALLED MADE WITH LOVE. THE MINISTRY WAS CREATED AS AN AVENUE TO SHOW COMPASSION TO THE FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY FOR VARIOUS REASONS- ILLNESS, HOSPITALIZATION, LOSS- BY MAKING A HOMEMADE MEAL & BRINGING IT TO THEM WITH A CARD OF ENCOURAGEMENT & LOVE.

​

20 YEARS LATER, THE MUSTARD SEED MY MOM'S MINISTRY PLANTED IN MY HEART HAS DRIVEN ITS ROOTS DEEP INTO MY SOUL AS THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS INTRICATELY WEAVED TOGETHER THE VARIOUS THREADS OF MY TALENTS, PASSIONS, ABILITIES, GIFTINGS, & EXPERIENCES INTO THIS INCREDIBLE ENDEAVOR WE CALL CHUBBY NOON'S KITCHEN. AS THE YEARS PASS, WHAT WAS ONCE A DREAM IS BECOMING PHYSICAL REALITY BEFORE OUR EYES & IT IS ABSOLUTELY PURE JOY TO HAVE FOUND A WAY TO LOVE MY GOD & LOVE HIS PEOPLE IN A WAY THAT I ENJOY ON SO MANY LEVELS.

SO A LITTLE ABOUT OUR FAMILY- AFTER BEING BORN & RAISED ON LONG ISLAND, NY, FRANKIE & I MOVED TO CORINTH, TX WITH OUR TWO KIDDOS, GABRIEL & GIDEON, IN NOVEMBER 2022. WE WERE DRAWN TO THE COMMUNITY OF SAINTS HERE IN TEXAS & WE BELIEVED WE COULD GET ROOTED & FLOURISH HERE AS DISCIPLES OF KING JESUS, SO WE OBEYED THE CALL WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE ANSWERS. WE SOLD OUR HOME & TOOK THE LEAP INTO THE UNKNOWN, TRUSTING OUR GOOD FATHER WITH CHILDLIKE FAITH TO MAKE OUR PATH STRAIGHT & TO LEAD US ALONG RIGHTEOUS PATHS FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.

​

IN FEBRUARY 2023- AFTER ENDURING AN UNJUST JOB DISMISSAL WITHOUT ANY VINDICATION-  WE MOVED FORWARD WITH REGISTERING CHUBBY NOON'S KITCHEN LLC. AS A CORPORATION WITH THE REQUIRED GOVERNING BODIES, AND BECAME LAWFULLY ESTABLISHED AS A LEGITIMATE OPERATION IN TEXAS. WE BUILT THE WEBSITE AND PROCURED THE NECESSARY LICENSURE, PERMITTING, AND CERTIFICATIONS TO SATISFY LOCAL & STATE LAW REQUIREMENTS. WE'VE CONTINUALLY OPTIMIZED, STREAMLINED, & INNOVATED OUR PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES TO ENSURE OUR OPERATION RUNS LIKE A WELL-OILED MACHINE. WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING WE DO BECAUSE WE DO IT ALL AS IF IT WERE FOR KING JESUS. HE DESERVES OUR FIRST AND BEST, AND WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT WHAT CHUBBY NOON'S KITCHEN PRODUCES IS JUST THAT.

WHEN THE GENEROSITY PRAYER WAS INTRODUCED AT OUR CHURCH, IT WAS TRULY LIFE-CHANGING FOR US. IT WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE WORK THE LORD WAS DOING IN OUR HEARTS- HELP US TO INCREASE IN GENEROSITY UNTIL IT CAN BE SAID THAT THERE IS NO NEEDY PERSON AMONG US. THE IDEA TOOK HOLD OF OUR HEARTS: WHAT DOES NO NEEDY PERSON AMONG US EVEN LOOK LIKE IN TODAY'S ECONOMY? WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE IF WE-AS INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST- STARTED MEETING THE PHYSICAL NEEDS OF THE BROTHERS & SISTERS AROUND US, THE EXAMPLE OF THE EARLY CHURCH AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR EFFORTS?

​

PARTNERING CHUBBY NOON'S KITCHEN WITH CNK MINISTRY INC. HAS ALLOWED US TO TAKE THE LITTLE RESOURCES WE HAVE AND POUR OUR TIME, TALENT, AND ABILITY INTO THEM TO CREATE MEALS THAT BLESS OTHERS IN AN IMPACTFUL, SPIRITUAL WAY. THIS IS OUR ATTEMPT TO LIVE OUT THE PARABLE OF THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS AND TAKE THE FEW TALENTS WE'RE ENTRUSTED WITH WHILE THE MASTER IS AWAY AND MULTIPLY THEM INTO ABUNDANT BLESSINGS FOR HIS PEOPLE AND GLORY FOR HIS NAME. WE STRIVE TO MAKE EVERY BITE A SOUL-SOOTHING EXPERIENCE THAT STIRS AFFECTION AND JOY IN THE HEART TO THE GLORY OF KING JESUS- AFTER ALL, WE EXIST BY HIM, THROUGH HIM, AND FOR HIM. 

​

IN JANUARY 2025, WE REGISTERED CNK MINISTRY INC. AS A PRIVATE NONPROFIT FOUNDATION WITH THE TEXAS STATE SECRETARY. WE ARE FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY UNDER 501C3, WHICH ALLOWS DONATIONS TO BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE AT BOTH THE FEDERAL & STATE LEVELS. FORMING A NON-PROFIT COUNTERPART FOR THE CHARITABLE SIDE OF CHUBBY NOON'S KITCHEN'S OPERATIONS HAS EXPANDED THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR FUNDING & SUPPORT WHILE MAINTAINING THE LLC END OF THINGS ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE TAKING CUSTOM-PAID ORDERS OR SELLING SURPLUS FOOD ITEMS WHILE COMPLYING WITH LOCAL LAWS & REGULATIONS. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE KITCHEN.
