Jennifer has been meal prepping dinners for our family for a few weeks now. With our busy schedule this has been an extremely positive experience. We are now able to eat fresh healthy dinners as a family without having to worry about grocery shopping and the time it takes to cook. The food taste is excellent and Jennifer is always on time and very professional.

Chef Stokes is not only prepares amazing meals for us but provides structure, freedom and peace for our family and meals. Chef prepared quality meals each time while delivering value to meet our budget & diet needs. She takes meatballs and makes them perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Jennifer has been a wonderful addition to our health journey. Good health starts with good food and she prepares just that. I have noticed a positive change in my overall well being. The healthy and hearty meals she prepares far surpass any meal plan in a box. She will cater to your needs and tastes. I cannot say enough good things about her as a person and the service she provides. Top notch!
