“Healthy” Plans and Prices
There are meal plans and prices to meet everyones needs; from the busy career-oriented single, to the over-extended family. Once you do some math, you will see that a personal chef is worth it. Have you ever sat down and calculated how much time, effort and money you put into preparing and cooking your meals?
Besides the stress of what to do for dinner, consider:
- Preparing a grocery list
- Time traveling to and from the grocery and shopping time
- Preparing dinner
- Cleaning up
- Cost of groceries
- The cost of wasted food thrown away due to not planning properly or no time to cook it
- Time and costs of restaurants- travel, wait, and more waiting, tips and tax
- Time and costs of delivery (with a tip) and take-out
- These do not add up to what I call “healthy” plans and prices.

If none of these healthy meal plans fit your needs, we can certainly discuss another option for you.
These plans can be set up weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, short term or occasionally.
All healthy meals come with an entree and two appropriate side dishes(unless the entree is a hearty meal that includes a healthy carb and/or vegetables) and can be packaged individually or family style.
There are additional charges for all organic or higher end foods.
If you have a family favorite or special menu item in mind, I would love to prepare it for you. The meals can be as simple or extravagant as you like. The plans and prices are not set in stone, we can always discuss any changes that would better suit your needs.
I do challenge you to try something new. Like I tell my children, you never know if you will like something unless you try it. Many people think healthy meals have no flavor, are boring, or don’t fill them up. I do everything I can to make these meals healthy as well as flavorful and wholesome. Besides, healthy to one person may not be healthy to the next. My meals are somewhere in between. They are fresh, low sodium, low fat, healthy fats, healthy carbs and again, can be made as healthy as you want. If it is gluten free, fat free, dairy free, etc. I can do it.
Containers
During our client assessment, we will discuss the appropriate containers for your needs. Included in the price are disposable aluminum containers that can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven. For a slight additional charge your meals can be prepared in dual ovenable (oven or microwave) disposable containers OR reusable containers that can be microwaved. These are the plastic kind that advertise as microwavable, however, I personally do not microwave in any plastic. And, finally, for a one time higher charge, you can purchase reusable containers such as Pyrex or Corning that can be used in the oven or microwave. However, if you already have these containers, I will be happy to use them. All containers can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator depending on your needs.
Payment
It is customary to pay for the service on the day your cook date is scheduled in order to hold that date. There are no contracts to sign, only a verbal agreement and you can end the service at any time if you like.
