Y’all keep asking what actually comes in a box. So here it is.

Cooked fresh, groceries included

I cook everything fresh in a commercial kitchen, and I’m food handler certified. The groceries are already in your price. No shopping, no cooking, no dishes. Every meal comes in a labeled container with reheating notes.

The menus

  • The Family Week. Carne asada bowls, beef and broccoli, chicken fajitas, plus a chef’s pick that changes.
  • The Hibachi Box. Steak, shrimp and chicken hibachi with fried rice, zucchini and onions. Yum yum sauce on the side, of course.
  • The Catch. Seafood all week, from shrimp and grits to blackened salmon.
  • The Garden Table. 100% plant-based, and it still fills you up.

Allergies or a diet you’re following? Tell me. I’ll plan around it, or you can mix and match.

How long does meal prep last in the fridge?

Plan to eat most meals within 3 to 4 days, and seafood within 3. That lines up with USDA guidance for cooked food. Freeze anything you won’t get to by then.

How to order

Order by Thursday for Sunday or Monday delivery, or pick up. My first deliveries go out Sunday, October 18, so get your order in by Thursday, October 15. Your first order is one-time. Love it? Then you can switch to a weekly plan and text me by Thursday any week you want to change or skip.
