Rays Casserole Club
A Year of Comfort
One signature casserole. Every month. Made for the season.
Starting in August, Rays is becoming something new.
Instead of a rotating weekly menu, we’re making one show-stopping casserole each month — a giant 9x13 pan, restaurant-quality, designed around the season and made with a level of care and presentation Rays hasn't done before.
Far more attention on each gourmet casserole. Something to look forward to rather than something to decide about.
This is the next chapter for Rays Kitchen Connection, and I'd love for you to be part of it from the very first month.

Membership
LARGE — Giant 9x13 — $40/month suggested donation
Feeds a family generously, or a small household for several nights. This is the club.
SMALL — $25/month suggested donation
Available only to current Rays customers, and only through December. If you're reading this, that's you. New members joining later will only have the large option, and smalls go away entirely in 2027.
Every pickup through December comes with a free gift. We’re having a lot of fun with these.
Good to Know
Do I have to commit to all five months?
Signing up means you're in for August through December — that's what lets me plan and shop properly for a small batch. That said, life happens. If you need to skip a month, just text or email me before our Friday cook day and we'll sort it out. No hard feelings, ever.
When do I pay?
At pickup or delivery. Nothing is charged online.
What if I have allergies or dietary needs?
Each month is one recipe, made one way — that's part of what makes this model work for me right now, and it's how I can put this much care into a single dish. I'm not able to do substitutions. But every casserole's ingredients are listed here before you commit, so you'll always know exactly what's coming. If something in a month's dish won't work for you, just let me know and we'll skip you that month.
Can I still order à la carte?
The weekly menu retires after the final July pickup. The club is the new thing 😎. If I have some extra à la cart, I’ll let you know by email in early August.
Where do the casseroles come from?
Everything is still made by me and Briella, in my home kitchen, the same way it always has been. See the About page for where Rays is in the licensing process.
