West Coast Personal Chef Co

Chris, the owner of West Coast Personal Chef, came on Saturday April 18 to prepare a week's worth of lunch and dinner for me, my husband and my two girls. I called him on the referral of a colleague who has been using Chris's personal chef service to create and package meals for her Atkins Diet so she doesn't have to worry about carb counting and cooking. Another colleague uses Chris to cook for her and her boyfriend because they're both busy and lack any type of cooking skills to speak of. For me, Chris prepared five lunches and five dinners for the four of us. He cooked them and packaged them all on Saturday in my kitchen and put them into packages with instructions for me to re-heat them as necessary. I asked for healthy but tasty types of food because my husband and I both work full time and cooking is not easy for us especially during the week. We feel guilty for feeding our two daughters fast food or otherwise unhealthy meals. Chris first had me fill out a questionnaire about the types of food we like, what my daughter is allergic to and what we wanted to be made. Then we settled on a meal plan for the five dinners and five lunches: things like grilled vegetables, pork chops, sirloin steak, seafood pasta, greek and antipasto salad (the only type of salad my daughters will eat!) and items like that for the dinner meals. For lunch, we have salad, turkey or ham sandwiches, pizole and tortilla soup, pasta, hummus and pita, and other things like that. I started with this one week only to see how much my husband, daughters and I like the food, how easy it is to re-heat it and serve, etc. It was great! Totally easy and simple I was very surprised! It makes it easier to know we don't have to waste so much money eating out and we don't have to force ourselves to cook when we're tired and busy all the time.
