Every single week we are blown away by the flavor, creativity, and care she puts into her cooking. Her meals are so good that we honestly no longer want to eat out. The food she prepares for us at home is consistently better than what we would order at restaurants, and that says everything. Each dish feels intentional, nourishing, and beautifully balanced, with just the right touches to make it feel special without ever being heavy. Every meal has been outstanding, and the consistency is what truly sets her apart. Chef Steph has completely changed the way we eat at home, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you are considering working with her, do it. You will not be disappointed.

I never thought I'd be able to justify the luxury of a private chef service, but I keep this…read moreservice as a lifeline in my back pocket for weeks that we just need a little extra help, like when the demands of parenting and working during a global pandemic seem extra burdensome. So far, we've had three appointments, and they've all been wonderful. For each one in advance, you choose the time/date for your chef, three entree items and three sides. The "sides" is a bit of a misnomer, as you can often make meals of these in themselves. They include salads, hot breakfast casseroles, pies, and more. Recipes range from Mongolian Beef to Shepherd's Pie, homemade granola bars, Thai Chicken salad, etc. I imagine if we did this weekly, the options might get monotonous, but doing it every once in a while works out well for us so that there are usually a few new options that appear the next time we're ready to book an appointment. For each item you'll see an estimate on how much extra it will add to your bill in groceries in addition to the base chef cost. The chef will stop at your local HEB to shop for your ingredients fresh right before your appointment. You pay a $35 deposit, which you can get refunded if you cancel the appointment by the stated deadline (and they send you frequent reminders -- they're not trying to pull one over). On average with tip and the cost of groceries, we usually spend around $225 for our family of four. The meals last us a while. Sometimes we share them with friends who could use an extra meal, or sometimes we freeze the leftovers. There are instructions for reheating, freezing, etc. As stated in other reviews the chefs are generally efficient and very tidy, leaving your kitchen looking spotless, with a huge amount of prepared food for you to enjoy (it's hard not to dive right in). Communication by text is great. During COVID, the chef has worn a mask during the appointment and the service has had very clearly communication about canceling in the event of COVID exposure, etc. I appreciate that they're taking it seriously. If I had a couple of critiques, it would be that whatever process gets communicated to the chef regarding ingredients might need to be streamlined. The past two appointments, our chef has had to make a couple of grocery store trips because he forgot items, and this prolongs the preparation process. I would also love to see a bit more variety to the menu options. It would be nice to have it broken down roughly by type of dish (seafood, beef, casserole, etc.) and price (budget friendly or special splurge). Other than those minor tweaks, we love the service, and I imagine we'll keep using it as occasional customers.

Literally…read moreevery time I've done a 30-day or 6-wk challenge I've seen massive changes in my body not to mention the scale. Nick, the owner, is very hands on with customer service. He makes sure you are set up for success, going so far as to send me tips on healthy snacks to fill in the gaps. I keep arugula and spinach on hand and often place the meals on top of that for added fiber and nutrients.

I though I knew enough about nutrition and fitness to navigate things on my own. A few weeks into a plateau on my own I decided to set an appointment and see what it was all about. After my first encounter with Nick I had the utmost trust in him and knew I needed his expertise. I was basically doing the opposite of what I needed to! I bit the bullet and signed up and it was worth every penny. It seems expense but when you break it down it is extremely reasonable, I mean how many times have we all hit the Starbucks drive through and dropped $4 bucks on a drink? Not to mention this comes with personalized advice and support, not just the food. I immediately saw results, my first week I made visible progress and it was so motivating to keep going! I was also offered advise and support on my supplemental food (my own "snacks" to round out my calories each day) and wasn't left hanging to just figure it out. Nick and Jamie were available by text for questions, even just sent random ones checking in on me. Felt great to have someone in my corner, and keeping me accountable. 3 weeks in and I truly stand behind this now, I would recommend it to anyone ~ whether you are just getting started and don't know where to begin or are well on your way in your journey and need an extra leg up! The bonus, the food is actually super tasty! Don't let the pics online undersell it and fool you. I recommend letting the choose your meals at first, just to make sure you are really getting a good mix. Once you get the flow, if you have some favorites you can begin to do you own selections and enjoy the things you like best! If you want results, Nick is your guy! Also a special shout out to Jamie for being so genuine and sweet! Thank you Meal Proz!

PERFECT?! Intriguing! The linguistics alone sold me. 20% of your daily recommended protein. Ingredients that I UNDERSTAND. That I would actually cook with. Very little sugar, gluten free... basically a protein bar that is way more delicious and lacks any weird shit I've never heard of. When I visited Whole Foods the other day, they were giving free samples of a protein bar. I countered with, "But have you tried The Perfect Cookie?" And began an uncharacteristically promotional rant. I think I convinced her. Yes, these facts are interesting but OH MY GOD. The flavor! I adore Grandma's Cookies (the brand) and this tastes EXACTLY like Grandma's.. but I don't feel horrible when I eat five. So dense and soft and decadent. I've tried all three flavors (macadamia nut and white chocolate, chocolate chip, and peanut butter) WAY too many times in the month since I've discovered this bliss and they are all fantastic. Why you gotta make cookies seem so harmless and good for me? THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT. The HEB 20% off coupon isn't helping either.

I have not tried the cookies but the Oatmega Bars are awesome. When I don't have time for a sit down meal post workout I will occasionally pick up an Oatmega Bar from either Snap Kitchen or MyFit Foods. I usually cannot stand the chalky meh taste of "healthy" bars or they have more calories than I want. While I am not a fan of how their Dark Chocolate Peanut bar tastes, the Vanilla Almond is heavenly and the Dark Chocolate Mint tastes just like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie. All the bars are 190 calories, have 14 grams of protein, gluten free, have antioxidants from green tea and are loaded with omega 3s. Some of the ingredients include grass-fed whey protein, organic brown rice, organic raisins, non-GMO sunflower lecithin but warning to the vegetarians it does contain fish oils. They do not have a storefront but you can purchase a box online. They are also carried at some HEBs, Central Market, Fresh Plus, and I have seen them at some of the Snap Kitchens and MyFit Foods locations.

But, I enjoyed it even more when my coworkers said, "What's for Lunch is my new favorite pick"! We had the Beef Tips, Grilled Mango Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Stuffed Portobello. The Grilled Chicken was HUUGGEEE and unfortunately, not as moist or marinated or as juicy as what I hoped it would be. The Beef Tips, however, WERE THE TALK OF THE TOWN. The Beef Tips were perfectly cooked, it tasted like mini roast beef chunks and was perfectly seasoned all the way through. Along with the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, these two combos saved the day! As for the Stuffed Portobello for our vegetarians and vegans, they stated they expected the portobello mushrooms to be grilled. In addition, the quinoa that stuffed the mushroom just didn't make the cut...
