Affordable Meal Plans

Meal Plans

I develop a customized menu for each client cooking session based on that client's tastes and preferences.  Meals include entrées with appropriate side dishes.  I typically leave each client with one to three weeks worth of meals in one cooking session depending upon the meal package that is chosen.  The Basic Meal Plan includes three meals with 4-6 servings per meal, for a total of 12-18 servings.  Meals can be packaged in different serving sizes depending upon each client’s needs. 

The Basic Meal plan is just one option.  We can design a plan that suits your family’s size and needs.   Most clients choose weekly, bi-weekly or monthly service.  However, we can discuss other service plans if these do not fit your needs. 

At Homemade Fresh chef service, we personalize meal and service plans to fit each client’s needs. In just one cooking session, I can prepare enough meals to last you a week, two weeks, or maybe even longer. 

Fees

Service fees vary depending upon the meal plan chosen, and are discussed with each client prior to scheduling a cooking session.  The fee for each cooking session includes the following:

• Personalized recipe research and meal planning
• Grocery shopping service (clients pay for groceries)
• Travel to and from your home
• Meal preparation using the Homemade Fresh mobile kitchen
• Packaging, labeling and storing meals
• Providing storage and reheating instructions
• Kitchen clean-up

Affordable for Your Food Budget

Meals from Homemade Fresh save you lots of time and can be an affordable part of your food budget.  A Homemade Fresh meal costs about the same per serving as an average restaurant meal.  When you add up the cost of dining out, take-out, groceries, driving, tipping, and the value of your time, Homemade Fresh is very affordable.

Gift Certificates 

A Homemade Fresh gift certificate is a “tasteful” and healthy gift for new parents, brides, new college graduates, people recovering from surgery or illness, retirees, busy singles, couples and families, and people who don’t enjoy cooking.  It's also a great gift for the cook in your family--even the cook needs a break now and then!
