Passion with a purpose
Just Like Home Kitchen Recipes® was created by Wayne Luciano, a passionate foodie who grew up in an Italian-American family in the Boston area, and Nathan Sheets, founder of Nature Nate’s Honey Company, with a true servant’s heart and dedicated purpose.
We wanted to provide an opportunity for people to share their special recipes in a way that helps others. This “sharing and caring” idea allows consumers to conveniently enjoy authentic recipes without the need to make them from scratch, while also helping people in need. A portion of proceeds from every jar sold is donated to local homeless support organizations throughout the U.S.
All of the original recipes for our line of homecrafted pasta sauces are from real pasta sauce lovers across America, who were selected from dozens of entries as part of a nationwide recipe contest. The name, likeness and signature of the original recipe creators are proudly displayed on the front of our packaging.

OUR SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
We are committed to a sustainable future and to improving the social, economic and environmental well-being of the communities we serve. Our ongoing donations to local homeless shelters, homeless support organizations, and food banks across the U.S. and our use of recyclable packaging are two priorities of our company designed to foster a sustainable future and lead to social and economic improvements in the communities we do business.
