menu planning

My goal is to provide main course healthy, balanced meals to busy single professionals, working couples, families, and people in need of assistance in home cooked meals. I also offer optional appetizer, salad and dessert courses for an additional fee.  My duties are all-inclusive: menu planning, grocery shopping, food preparation, storage, and clean up. Contact Chef Express for an appointment to discuss options and fees. Below are sample menu plans.

5 standard entrees (meat, starch, 2 sides for 5 menus)

4 servings with matched sides for 20 full meals

• serves a family of four for 1 week
• serves two people for approximately 2 weeks

Additions to above menu options

Appetizers, handmade side salad, homemade side soup, homemade bread, homemade dessert will incur an additional fee.
