👵Colorado Springs Seniors' Delicious Little Secret 🤫
👩🍳 From Prep to Plate: Chef-Prepared Dining That Fits Your Life
When was the last time you savored a truly fresh, home-cooked meal that warmed both your heart and home? For seniors, this simple joy is now an affordable reality – right in your own kitchen.
Picture this: The comforting aroma of simmering herbs fills your home as a professional chef prepares your favorite dishes just steps away. No cleanup, no grocery shopping, no stress – just the pleasure of wholesome meals and engaging conversation. Most importantly, you maintain your independence at home, knowing fresh and healthy options are always available.
Meet Chef Lisa Murray, who brings the Chefs For Seniors experience to Colorado Springs. Her journey from a military child sharing meals across the globe to leading prestigious restaurant kitchens for 20 years has taught her one precious truth: food creates connections that last a lifetime. Now, she's bringing that same magic into seniors' homes.
Lisa and her team of chefs do more than cook – they create experiences. They handle everything from selecting fresh ingredients to the final cleanup, crafting meals that perfectly match your tastes and dietary needs. They provide the convenience and customized attention of a personal chef, all while remaining a budget-friendly option for seniors.
🔥🔥 EXCLUSIVE FOR COS TOWN TIDINGS READERS: Call today and mention this article to receive a complimentary restaurant-quality plated meal with your first service package ($75 value) available ONLY for our subscribers. This is Lisa's special invitation for you to experience the difference a personal chef can make in your life. 🔥🔥

🚧 Bridge Work Begins—See When Powers Closes
Heads up, night drivers! A key stretch of Powers will be closing. Expect overnight closures on Powers near Airport Road from Feb 20–23 from 9pm-4am for bridge construction. One direction will close each night, but detours are in place, and lanes will reopen by morning.
🌲 Our Parks Need You! Join the Board—Apply by Mar 7
Do you love our local parks and want to have a say in their future? El Paso County is looking for volunteers to join its Park Advisory Board! This is a great opportunity to help shape policies and projects that impact the green spaces we all enjoy.
Three volunteer positions are open, covering different areas of the county. Members meet monthly to review park policies, provide input on upcoming projects, and make recommendations to county officials. Applications are due by Mar 7, 2025.
⏳ Still No Colorado Tax Refund? Here’s Why
If you’ve been wondering why your Colorado tax return hasn’t been accepted yet, you’re not alone. Colorado has delayed accepting state tax returns this year due to major updates to the tax code, including 14 new tax credits aimed at saving residents money. The good news?
The state plans to start processing returns this week. While refunds could still take time, tax experts suggest filing as soon as possible to avoid further delays. The last day to file is April 15. Full Story
