Consultation
We begin with a free consultation (no obligation) through a call and through by completing a simple questionnaire. During our chat you and I will discuss what you are currently eating and if you want to make any changes. We will discuss food preferences, likes/dislikes, allergies or special diets.
Menu Planning
I will research and develop a customized menu based on the information from the consultation and the questionnaire. Then I will send the menu out for your approval and once the menu has been approved, we decide on the meal preparation date. I send over an invoice for payment.
Meal Preparation
On the mean preparation date, I will shop for the freshest ingredients and come to your home to prepare and cook the food. I will package, label and store the food in your refrigerator or freezer in glass containers that are safe for reheating/refrigerating. I will clean up the kitchen leaving it just as I found it or even better. You will come home to a fridge full of home-cooked food.
Reheating
I will leave and also email you detailed instructions on how to reheat each meal either in the oven or microwave. You will only need to follow the instructions and you'll have a hot meal ready.
Payment
I will send you an invoice with a receipt of the groceries. You will send a payment via PayPal or Venmo.
