HOW MY SERVICES WORK

My process begins with understanding your dietary needs and preferences. All of your meals are customized to your specific tastes and needs. We begin with scheduling a 30 minute phone call consultation. During this time, we will discuss you an your family and/or guests’ dietary needs and personal food preferences. I want to know what flavors you prefer and what foods you love. I want to hear about the experience you are hoping for. I create a menu that will carry you and your family through your busy work week. You will have dinners and enough leftovers for lunches and/or food to freeze for another time. I shop for all necessary ingredients, prepare your meals in one day, package everything up in your own glass containers, label everything and leave heating directions as needed.

Meal Packages

I offer 3 different meal packages that are fully customizable, according to your dietary needs and preferences. My services include menu planning, shopping, preparation of meals and kitchen cleanup. All meal packages are $500 plus reimbursement for groceries. My service includes: menu planning, shopping, preparation of meals, & kitchen cleanup.  The following examples of meals are only a glimpse of what is possible.
