Marleen Cords

Creator / Co-Owner

After owning and operating a successful cleaning company in Clark County Washington for 26 years, 2012 brought an early retirement… Mama wasn’t quite ready for that. After lots of home cooking and gifts to friends and colleagues she was encouraged by her daughter to pursue her true passion… COOKING!

A small family start up was born with handcrafted pastas, agave caramels and hand dipped chocolate covered caramels.

Soon, ‘Mama's Marinara'TM Sauce was added and developed to accommodate our vast client base. Our sauce is Vegan, Gluten Free, low sugar, low salt all while being Thick and Hearty.

This Homestyle sauce tastes like your Grandma spent all day in the kitchen making it.

Mama's Marinara Sauce soon became the top seller and our premier product.

Even though the cooking process has been placed in very capable hands, ‘Mama’ keeps a close watch on the product. She attends as many events and markets as possible, but she is always there in Spirit.

“We always had good food on the table. My Mom taught me to cook and encouraged an appreciation for new foods, fine dining and down home flavors. Several years in the Hotel and Restaurant industry during college expanded my tastes and experiences.”

“I have always had my favorites of my Moms meals, the comfort food, but her spagetti sauce was always the best.

Truthfully, I have never had a store bought sauce… but I knew we needed to bring her sauce to more kitchens than just our own.”

“Working side by side to develop and expand our Family Business has been challenging at times, but getting to work with my best friend and know the love she puts in to every thing she cooks is appreciated, is the best experience I could ask for.”
