Frequently Asked Questions
Storing Your Meals
All of our meals are portioned and come in our specialty containers that are both microwave and oven compatible. Your meals are easily stored in the fridge for short term use or the freezer if you plan on using them for later use. We recommend keep our healthy meals in the kitchen fridge/freezer and moving the chicken nuggets and ice cream to the garage fridge if you have one. A service of meals should take up about 2 shelves in a side-by-side fridge as they are designed to stack neatly. Remove your meals from the freezer about a day or two before eating and place them in the fridge to thaw safely.
Heating Your Meals
All of our meals come in our specialty recyclable containers that are both microwave and oven compatible (bottoms not clear tops, up to 400 degrees). Remove meals from the freezer and place them in the fridge to thaw a day or so before you would like to eat them. Be mindful of chicken in the microwave, they do not get along together. For the oven, place the thawed meal container on a sheet pan and heat for about 25 - 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven. (or until piping hot). General Rule of Thumb when heating in the oven is 350 degrees.
Scheduling
Our meal plans are designed to last about 2 weeks. Whether you go through your meals sooner or longer than the 2 weeks we will adapt accordingly. Over the first couple services we will learn how quickly you are utilizing your meals and we will then start to schedule your service based on your needs and usage. After that we will give you your next two service dates so you can plan well ahead of time. In case of cancellations, please be considerate and give us at least a weeks’ notice prior to your scheduled service date. This allows us time to fill in your slot.
