Momma Made Meals

Hey everyone! Have you reached out to plan your meals? What was your experience? Are there any things that you wish we would provide but don't? Are there any meal ideas you'd like to share? Our kids start school this week, what about yours?

TGIF! We like to use Fridays as a time to unwind after a long week. We typically have pizza or some other easy to make dinner option. We also reflect on our week and talk about our favorite parts. What are some things that you and your family do on Fridays?
Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday-Eve everyone! We'd love to hear any feedback that you have on the information that was posted last week! Thank you to those who have reached out about packed lunches and prepared dinners, we can't wait to get started! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send us a message!

Happy Hump Day! Hope everyone is having a great week!

It's Monday and the start to another busy week! Have you reached out to plan your meals with us yet? Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! Expect menus to be up this week! Have a great week!

Here's some information on the packed lunches for adults:

What you will get:

-Main Entree (sandwich, wrap or home cooked meal etc)
-Fruit (seasonally fresh or fruit cup)
-Veggie (seasonally fresh or incorporated into meal)
-Other side (will depend on the entree)
-Peace of mind of having your lunches ready to go every week with minimal planning.
-Healthy food options coming from a local mother so you don’t have to worry about excessive preservatives in foods to keep them from going bad in the mail!
-Consistent delivery times and places to make getting your lunches as seamless as possible.
-Pay once per month and forget about it! Don’t worry about what you’re going to take or make for lunch. Leave the planning and preparation to us!
-You will always have the menu for your packed lunches ahead of time and can decide if you’d prefer the alternate option ahead of time.
-Meals are $8 per meal per adult (these meals can be a light version, which will still be adult portions of food, or more of a home cooked meal, I've shown an example of each option on my sample menu). Each menu will come with alternate options at the end of each week to choose from should you not want the option available. **To select the alternate option, please let us know at the time of order which alternate you prefer and for which day.
-On the menu, you will see the daily main course. With your main course you will receive a fruit, veggie and an additional side.
-Pick up will either be at a local school on Sundays or dropped to your address on Sundays for the following week. All bags of food should be refrigerated until ready for use.

A little more information on the "On the Go Breakfast" option:
On the Go Breakfast:

What you will get:
A filling, healthy breakfast that can be eaten on the go.

A monthly menu will be created with on the go breakfast items. There will be alternate options each week for additional options should one day not work for you/ your family.
Breakfast is $4 per meal on a subscription basis (paid on the first of each month based on how many days you will need breakfast items).
Pick up on Sundays at a local school (TBD) or delivered to your door (depending on distance).

Below is a sample menu of on the go breakfast options (again, please bear with me on the pictures):

Please follow the same steps of "How It works" from our previous post for prepared dinners. Here Is the questionnaire for family dinners. Please send your responses to us privately.
-Thank you!!

**Prepared Dinners Questionnaire:

How many people will you be feeding?
Does anyone in your family have food allergies?
Do you own a slow cooker/ crock pot?
Please give me some ideas of foods that you/ your family enjoy eating.
Does your family enjoy spicy foods?
Do you prefer well balanced/ healthier meals or whatever the kids will eat :)
How often are you needing this service (every weekday/ 3 days per week/ once per week etc.)
Would you be willing to meet on Sundays at a local school or would you prefer that food be dropped off at your house? What is your address, if you prefer delivery?

Happy Sunday everyone! We like to spend our Sundays spending time with our family and preparing for the next week. This is our last Sunday that we won't be packing and preparing our kiddos for school! What does your family do on Sundays to prepare for the week ahead?

Let's get started with a questionnaire :) Feel free to keep answers short and with corresponding numbers next to your answers. All answers should be sent to me in a private message, please!

1. How many children do you have that will require lunches?

2. What is/are the ages of your child(ren)?

3. Does your child(ren) have any known allergies to foods?

4. Are there any foods that your child(ren) will not eat?

5. What are some of your child(ren)’s preferred foods to eat (most importantly lunch, but also for other meals)?

6. Do(es) your child(ren) follow any strict food diets?

7. How often would you like to have your child(ren)’s lunch packed? (all school days, certain days?)

8. When it comes to portions, how much would you say that your child(ren) will consume at lunchtime on average? (average amount for their age, less than kids their age, more than kids their age)

9. How much would you like to contribute to packing? (willing to heat things up if they will go in a thermos etc., willing to put the food into their lunchbox, don’t want to touch a thing and just want it ready to go)

10. Would you be able to meet at a school building once or twice per week to pick up meals or would you prefer meals be dropped off at your house? If you would like the meals dropped off, please enter your address.

11. Describe your ideal lunch for your child(ren) keeping in mind the constraints that school may have (no microwave etc.)

12. Would you be interested in any additional meals prepped? (breakfast on the go or dinners)

13. Would you be interested in any packed meals for adults?

14. Does your child have a thermos or other means of keeping food warm in their lunchbox?

Here’s how it works:

1. Fill out our questionnaire to help guide us to provide the best service to you. Be sure to include any food allergies at this time!
2. We will send you our current menu to look over. There are alternates listed for each week. If you would like an alternate option, please indicate which alternate and for which day you would like it.
3. Payment is collected monthly. For kids who need lunches packed every school day, simply pay $5 per day on the first of each month. Payment is due prior to meals being made/ delivered.
4. If your child does not have school and/or you do not need lunches packed for certain days, this needs to be made aware of prior to payment at the first of the month. Payment will not be reimbursed for last minute changes to meal delivery.
5. Meal delivery can either be made to your address on Sundays or we can meet on Sundays at one of the schools (TBD).
6. Your meals will be labeled with names and which day it is for, to help you to stay organized when putting the items into lunchboxes and/or thermos.
7. If you need to add an additional meal for the week, feel free to message us to ask and we will try our best to accommodate!
8. Enjoy the time that you have saved by not having to plan and prepare school lunches!

**Obviously, reach out at any time with questions or concerns!

Here’s a list of things that you will get with your child’s packed lunches:

-Main Entree (sandwich, wrap, etc)
-Fruit (seasonally fresh or fruit cup)
-Veggie (seasonally fresh or incorporated into meal)
-Other side (goldfish, crackers, granola bar etc)
-Drink (juice box, small water, milk etc)
-Peace of mind of having your child’s lunches ready to go every week with minimal planning
-Healthy food options coming from a local mother so you don’t have to worry about excessive preservatives in foods to keep them from going bad in the mail!
-Consistent delivery times and places to make getting your child’s lunches as seamless as possible.
-Pay once per month and forget about it! Don’t worry about having to constantly add money to your child’s lunch account or which foods they are choosing at school.
-You will always have the menu for their packed lunches ahead of time and you can choose whether you want to add a treat to their lunchbox from home.

*Meals are $5 per meal per child. Each menu will come with alternate options at the end of each week to choose from should you not want the option available. **To select the alternate option, please let us know at the time of order which alternate you prefer and for which day.

* On the menu, you will see the daily main course. With your main course you will receive a fruit, veggie and additional side as well as drink for your child. If you prefer your child only receives small waters to drink, please message us to let us know!

*Pick up will either be at a local school on Sundays or dropped to your address on Sundays for the following week. All bags of food should be refrigerated until ready to be placed into lunch boxes.
Some items on the menu may require you to quickly microwave and place in your child’s thermos. **Please let us know if your child can only have cold lunches.

*Edited to add that the menu only shows the entree options. Each entree will come with fruit, veggie, additional side and drink. The fruits and veggies will vary depending on the season etc. so I didn't want to add a specific fruit or veggie for each day. If you'd like a list of ideas of what will likely be in the lunches I can put that together and post that as well :)

This is the tentative menu for August to begin on the 22nd. I will post again with more information regarding how it will all work and pricing.
**Please bear with me as I work out the kinks of posting the menus. If you'd like an original copy of the menu, please send me your email address privately and I can send it to you :)

What's everyone having for dinner tonight? What are some of your family favorites? We're having pulled pork with mac-n-cheese and mixed veggies (one of our family favorites) 😋

Hey everyone! I have been working away on menus, information on where to pick up meals if that's what you prefer and pricing (everyone's question)! I will be posting that information as quickly as I can get it all prepared. Stay tuned! Thanks for your continued patience and support!
