FAQs
The Process.
An initial meeting will cover all of the nutritional intake and logistics. From there I’ll provide a list my favorite meal options, but I always welcome your own personal go-to dishes. Meals are most often decided a few days before - with a grocery list compiled that is sent your way for approval. Some clients prefer this so they can easily enter the list into a delivery service - or I manage the groceries. Grocery shopping is a flat $50/fee. An invoice for reimbursement with attached receipt is given day of prep.
For Weekly Basics - the focus is more on organized meal components. The goal is to make putting together dinner or lunch quick, simple, and satisfying. Having prepared produce (washed/stored) and an organized food space invites you in to make and create meals that encourage your health and wellbeing.
Prep days are meant to go pretty much unnoticeable. You are free to go about your day however that works best :)
Kitchen Basics.
Cooking doesn’t need to be complicated and I can proudly say that I once cooked for multiple months with just an instant pot and hot plate. Going over what your kitchen provides in terms of appliances is standard. I do pack personal items and things that I don’t expect clients to have. Overall, I am comfortable making do with what is available in your kitchen.
Proper storage for food prep is essential for freshness. For most sessions I offer the option for a flat fee that applies to containers that I provide. I use both of these (linked). Both options offer easy clean up and are reusable. For meals that need to be reheated as a whole - disposable pans are best. Alternatively, I am able to make recommendations for food storage that is is in line with your preferences.
Prepping the prep.
All meals or prepared foods are labeled and dated for storing. If there is a particular reheating method that needs to be followed - I always leave a note with instructions. For meals with multiple items I will number them for easy assembly.
