Do I need to prepare anything to eat Homemade Healthy Meals?

 

No preparation required!  We do the planning, shopping, cooking and take away the need of cleaning. All you need to do is follow the suggested heating time on the label of each meal, warm it in the microwave or oven, and you have a fresh, nutritious meal to enjoy!

 

How can I prepare the meals so they are most appetizing to me?

 

We have seasoned our meals to appeal to a variety of people, but we know everyone’s tastes vary.  A little bit of salt and pepper may be what you like. With your order you will also be provided with microwave heating and oven heating instructions. As we know some people do have a preference on how they like their food cooked, so we have made it possible to cook the way you like it.

 

How does the food stay fresh and safe in the refrigerator for 10 days?

 

I know I said 7 days, but in reality the meals can last longer but for ultimate flavor and freshness I prefer 7 days. We utilize a "flash freeze" technology to ensure freshness, from the time we place the meals in the sealed containers and chill them, until they get to your home, and you immediately place them in your refrigerator - they will stay fresh. As long as you keep the meals sealed and refrigerated below 40 degrees, your meal will maintain that fresh-made taste for 10 days.

 

Do you have a diabetic menu?

 

Many of our meals are diabetic-friendly. Please call us with any questions 1-805-801-8176. Our Diabetic Meals are made Sugar Free/Salt Free.

 

Are the gluten-free meals made in a gluten-free kitchen?

 

Gluten-free meals are made in an inspected kitchen, which is thoroughly cleaned according to the best food safety standards, to reduce the risk of cross-contamination; however, it is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

 

How are the gluten-free meals tested?

 

Gluten-Free meals are simply made without any gluten.

 

Do you offer Vegan meals?

 

Yes. Please call us for details 1-805-801-8176.

 

Can you customize my meals to eliminate my personal allergens?

 

Currently, we can work with customers if their allergies are not life threatening.  Due to the fact we have a commercial kitchen where a lot of food is prepared and cooked we cannot be responsible for those type of allergies. However, if you have an allergy that is not life threatening please contact us and we can create a menu if possible 1-805-801-8176.

 

How does HomeMade Healthy Meals prevent cross contamination?

 

We adhere to strict food safety regulations, set forth by the ( U.S.D.A) United States Department of Agriculture.

 

What are the factors that cause a gluten-free diet to be more expensive?

 

Replacing wheat, barley, rye with specialty flours increases the cost of the meal program..

 

What if I go out of town during a scheduled meal delivery and need to take time off?

 

We will suspend your deliveries for the dates you provide with a minimum of a 3 business day notice prior to your delivery.

 

Can I order the program for only  weekdays?

 

Absolutely! Most of our Programs are designed for our clients with busy lifestyles who may not require 7 days of meals. You can order what you would like with no minimum or limits.

 

What if I am allergic or dislike a particular food?

 

If you have specific allergies or dislike certain proteins (poultry, red meat, seafood), we can design and personalize your program to your preferences within the menu guidelines we have in place.  Please let us know what your specific needs are in order for us to ensure that we are able to accommodate them 1-805-801-8176.

 

How do I heat the food?

 

In order to heat in the microwave, we recommend microwaving it for 2-3 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. In the oven the meals can bake for approximately 20 minutes. Detailed instructions are on all meals. In addition, we always recommend if you freeze a meal, it is much better to thaw before cooking.
