How delivery works

Step 1: Choose meals

Pick your meals before the weekly cutoff (Wednesday before each menu week by 11 PM).

Step 2: I prep for you

Chopping, seasoning, and sauces done. Meals are prepped, not reheated takeout.

Step 3: Delivery

We deliver Monday and Wednesday between 2 and 4 PM. Someone home preferred; cooler with ice packs if you are not home.

Step 4: You cook and enjoy

Oven, slow cooker, stovetop, or grill depending on the meal. Most meals freeze well.

What families say

Layered salads in mason jars
We are really enjoying all of them! My kids even discovered they like tomatoes and cucumbers since trying the salad with the greek chicken skewers!

My family loves meal prep mama's meals! The time it saves me gives me more time at the end of the day with my kids and no cleanup is the best!

Why busy families choose me

Trays of cheese-topped stuffed peppers ready for the oven

Prepped by me, cooked by you

Veggies chopped, seasonings mixed, and sauces made. You cook at home — stove, grill, slow cooker, or oven — not reheated takeout and not already cooked.

Flexible weekly menu

5 dinners + breakfast or 6 meals (2 or 4 servings). Salads and protein ball snacks; more snacks soon.

Gluten-free focus

Gluten-free ingredients and mostly organic when available.

Community impact

Every order helps feed children facing food insecurity.

Are the meals fully cooked?
No, meals arrive prepped, not cooked. Veggies are chopped, seasonings mixed, and sauces made, so you cook them at home in the oven, slow cooker, stovetop, or grill depending on the meal. Most meals freeze well.
Are all meals gluten free?
All meals and ingredients are gluten free. The kitchen is shared, so meals are not certified gluten free.

About us

From my family to yours

Meal Prep Mama is the culmination of my Mama's love of food and cooking, being a Mama and knowing the challenge of healthy meal prep, and my desire to serve other Mamas in my community. Even better, every order helps feed children facing food insecurity in our country.

I prep and deliver healthy, homemade, gluten free and mostly organic (as much as possible based on availability) meals. Each week: 5 dinners + breakfast or 6 meals, 2 or 4 servings. Double up if a meal isn't a fit. Salads and protein ball snacks; more snacks soon.
