Cindy talked to me on the phone for about 15 minutes asking about my family’s likes/dislikes, health needs, etc. We then picked out 3 family dinners for her to make for us. She grocery shopped, came to my kitchen with all her own supplies and spend 2 hours here prepping/cooking/cleaning up. She made three delicious meals including a fantastic beef and butternut squash stew.(It is exceptionally tasty!) My costs were the cost of the ingredients and she charges a reasonable fee per hour of her time. It is so nice to see pre-made meals in my ‘fridge and know that we have dinners already prepared for the coming week. At the time of this writing, Cindy is new to this business although apparently she’s been cooking since she was a kid. She was friendly, personable, and didn’t mind me hovering and learning some of her simple techniques. I will use her again and I highly recommend an idea like this for busy people who don’t have time to cook for themselves.
