FAQs
Kitchen Basics. Cooking doesn’t need to be complicated — great meals can be created in nearly any space. We’ll review your kitchen setup, including available appliances and tools. I bring select items and don’t expect clients to provide specialty cookware.
Food Storage. Food prep really relies on proper. I offer a flat-rate container fee ($10) that covers the use of reusable containers. Both options are durable, easy to clean, and can be reused for many future sessions. I welcome your own personal food storage systems as well! Listed below are links to containers that I find work best for meal prep.

Other Options:
Prepping the Prep. All of your meals and prepared components are labeled and dated for clarity and safe storage. When reheating is required I will provide written instructions for best results. For multi-component meals, items are numbered and organized to make assembly uncomplicated.
The Process. In our first meeting we’ll go over yours & your families needs, food preferences, allergies & sensitivites - and anything else that influences the way you eat. We’ll also coordinate logistics and scheduling.
Meal Planning. As an avid recipe scout (NYT Cooking late night scrolling), I have a living list of favorite meals that I will send over to you. Pick from the list or send me personal favorites/family staples.
Grocery Coordination. If delivery/shopping is your thing - I will provide a list of grocery items for your meals. But because grocery shopping is subjective to the person shopping - there is the chance that items or ingredients are missing, or not exactly what I am needing. I do feel that to get the full benefit of a meal prep service, your shouldn’t have to worry about when to shop and for what. I offer personal grocery shopping for a flat $50 fee, with a same-day invoice and attached receipt provided for reimbursement. I welcome you to add on anything that your family needs to the list.
Prep Day Experience. Prep days are designed to be seamless and minimally disruptive to your routine. You’re welcome to go about your day as usual while I handle the preparation at your home. While in-home prep is mostly preferred, my goal is to always meet you where you are at. Especially with newly postpartum families, having a guests in the house can be overwhelming. I am always happy to prepare your meals in my personal space with delivery to your home.
