Meal Prep, Just For You
Take the stress out of meal planning, prep and cooking during your busy workweek.
You’re in the right place if…
-
You would love to start your week feeling prepared and excited about your meals, instead of stressed and guilty.
-
You feel exhausted from cooking every meal, every day for your family.
-
You want to eat healthier but don’t know where to start.
-
You have dietary restrictions and are struggling with what to cook.
-
You want to save money on food and order less takeout.
How Amanda rediscovered her joy of cooking and got her time back
“I felt so much fatigue when it came to meal prep. You plan out the week, grocery shop, and then think you’ll do the rest later. I’d come home at the end of the day and we’re all hungry and it felt heavy with the constant question of what’s for dinner? Cooking every meal for my household seven days a week, I was just exhausted,” said Amanda.
Amanda and her family care about eating healthy, quality food. They lead a healthy, active lifestyle, her husband is on the keto diet and their family mainly eats dairy-free and gluten-free meals.
But that takes a lot of time and energy to cook every week when you have a full busy life.
“I can’t tell you how great it feels when we come home in the evening and dinner is already ready to go. Working with Christie has reduced my stress for sure. It’s given me my joy of cooking back. Now that I’m making three dinners instead of seven, I’m totally re-energized about it,” said Amanda.
“It’s become a non-negotiable for us now to work with Christie. It’s an investment in our health.”
How it works
Let’s break down the three main steps of weekly meal prep:
-
Plan
-
Grocery shop
-
Cook and prep
You take the parts that you enjoy and have the time and energy for, and I create a package that works for you. For the prep, I come to your kitchen, adding efficiency and lowering waste.
1. Choose Your Own Adventure
You plan, you shop, we prep
-
Pick your recipes, we confirm together
-
You grocery shop
-
Book time blocks where we come to your kitchen to cook and prep.
This is for: Someone like Amanda: you enjoy the planning and grocery shopping, but you want to hand off the actual cooking so meals are ready to go.
2. The All Inclusive
Guided Planning + Prep
-
We suggest recipes based on your needs, you approve them
-
You do the shopping with the finalized list
-
We come into your kitchen to cook and prep everything for the week
This is for: Someone who wants to skip the stress of figuring out what to make, but still prefers doing the shopping themselves.
Pricing: $60/hour for a minimum of three hours.
Example from a 3-hour block:
-
One family-style dinner, 4 lunches, and 2 snacks OR
-
18 portions across 3 different recipes (e.g. 6 breakfasts, 6 lunches, 6 dinners)
First up: Intake session
I’ll come to your kitchen to see the space and get to know you better. We’ll talk about your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.
Meal planning can be as collaborative as you’d like - it all starts here.
