1. We are local in your area. Since our food is delivered to your door (and not shipped across the country), we are supporting our local vendors, using local employees, and business resources.
2. We do a lot of the prep work and cooking for you. Veggies are cleaned and chopped, fresh dressings are handcrafted each week, grains are cooked, and meats are ready for you to cook. It makes these kits a snap, and not more work in the evening.
3. We focus on ‘clean-eating’ recipes. Ingredients REALLY matter to us! We scour labels so you don’t have to. We don’t use preservatives, emulsifiers, or funky chemicals in our recipes – they are better for you and taste better that way too!

You need to submit orders the week before service – the deadline is Tuesdays at midnight. Your meals are delivered the next Monday.

No way jose.

This location serves Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio. Please use the zip code verifier on the home page to confirm your specific zipcode.

We are working on getting nutrition information done as soon as possible!  The info will be under each meal’s page.

Unfortunately, at this time – we are unable to accommodate special requests/custom orders. Most parts of the meal come individually.  For example, you can leave off the dairy, leave the asparagus out, or not use the sauce.

We cannot guarantee that cross-contamination does not occur in the shop during order prep.  We recommend that if you have a severe allergy, that you do not use our service. 

Whenever possible, we absolutely do purchase organic! However, not every single item is. Some produce has more pesticides than others, so items on the Environmental Working Group’s List (www.ewg.org) that rank highest in pesticides, we always buy organic. Those that are on the clean fifteen list are lowest in pesticide residue, and we find the freshest but not necessarily organic if that’s not the best choice.  Due to variations in season, shipping, weather conditions, and supplier issues, we do our best to get organic, local ingredients but from time to time have to substitute a conventional item due to availability.  Chicken is organic, beef is local grass-fed, pork is a mixture of pastured and conventional, seafood is either wild-caught or organic farm-raised.

The ‘How To Prepare’ cards are posted on each meal’s page on the website for easy reference.
