Here's the quick version. **What's actually included for $750 / visit?** Menu planning, grocery shopping (reimbursed with receipts), 4–5 hours of cooking in your kitchen, 4–5 dishes (8–12 portioned meals), labeled storage, reheating instructions and full kitchen cleanup. Travel time is included for The Woodlands, Spring and Conroe. **Do you handle allergies and special diets?** Yes — gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, keto, low-sodium, heart-conscious, kid-friendly, athlete macros and pregnancy-related ingredient preferences based on provider guidance are all routine. We talk through every ingredient on the consultation call and I keep notes on each household. **Where do you cook — my kitchen or yours?** Always your kitchen. I bring my own knives and a few specialty tools, but I cook with what you already have. Most home kitchens — even modest ones — are perfect for this. **How does grocery billing work?** I shop on my card and you reimburse the exact amount. Zero markup either way. Typical weekly grocery budget for a family of 4 runs $180–$280, depending on proteins. **What if I need to reschedule a week?** No problem — 72 hours notice is all I need to reschedule or skip a week. There's no contract or commitment. You stay or pause whenever it suits your family's schedule. **How soon can I start?** We discuss the details via email or messenger (with a 30-minute call if needed). Once I send your custom menu, the first cook day can typically be scheduled within a week. ## Tell Me About Your Household Fill out the form and I'll send a personalized proposal within 24 hours.
