About Us

Our Story

Meals by Misty began in 2007 when founder Misty Westover, then a 5th grade math teacher, wanted a creative outlet during school breaks and holidays. Misty had always loved cooking for a crowd—hosting dinner parties was her specialty! Encouraged by friends who suggested she share her talents more widely, she dove into every cookbook she could find, developed her own recipes, and launched Meals by Misty.

Life soon grew busy as Misty and her husband, Joey, welcomed three children and settled in Trussville. Cooking took a backseat as Misty embraced the joys of motherhood.

As her children grew, Misty felt the pull back to her passion. Instead of returning to the classroom, she took a leap of faith and revived Meals by Misty through a simple Facebook page. What started with 15 orders the first week quickly grew to 25 weekly orders within a month. Misty experimented with recipes, refined her offerings, and steadily built a loyal following.

In 2018, after years of dreaming and praying, Misty found the perfect location and took the next big step. With faith, hope, and hard work, the doors to Meals by Misty – Trussville officially opened in April 2018.

The business continued to grow, and in April 2021, Meals by Misty opened a second location in Homewood. Most recently, in September 2025, a third location opened in Springville, bringing Misty’s homemade meals even closer to more families.

Today, Meals by Misty proudly serves homemade, southern-style casseroles, sides, fresh salads, and Misty’s famous chicken salad and pimento cheese—all made fresh daily for busy families and hungry people on the go. Beyond meals, they now offer a thoughtfully curated selection of gift items and provide full-service catering for gatherings of any size.
