A one-time $15 packaging fee is added to your first order to help cover the bags and packaging used for our meal prep service. Pickup orders come in sturdy brown paper bags. Deliveries use a black insulated tote with an ice pack. The fee applies to all new customers, including those who start with pickup; if you switch to delivery later, your tote will be provided then.
Frequently Asked Questions
The black insulated delivery totes and Nordic Ice packs are reusable. Brown paper bags used for pickup orders don’t need to be returned.
For delivery orders, please leave your empty tote and ice pack outside your front door on your next delivery day so we can collect them when we drop off your fresh meals. No separate drop-off is needed.
Forgot to put them out? No problem. Just leave both the tote and ice pack out on your following delivery day.
If you pick up at the Chef Debbie kitchen, bring any black totes and ice packs you have and hand them to us when you collect your order. For pickup at Omega Road Winery, leave them in the pickup refrigerator when you collect your order.
We sanitize the returned totes and ice packs before reusing them.
What if my ice pack springs a leak?
Please discard the leaking ice pack. We won’t charge you for a replacement, and we appreciate you returning the others. Please return only the Nordic Ice packs provided with your Chef Debbie deliveries; we can’t accept ice packs from other delivery services.

We don’t currently offer nutrition information.
Yes! We offer some modifications on meals that include gluten free, dairy free, low carb, and plant-based. We also provide you with the ability to eliminate or swap out a selection of ingredients.
All orders must be completed BEFORE 11am every Tuesday for the upcoming Saturday and Sunday pick up and Monday delivery.
Portion sizes can feel different depending on your appetite. Our main meals are sold as single servings: some customers with smaller appetites find one meal can feed about 1-2 people, while others find a single serving is just right for one. À la carte items are also sold by the serving. Most items have a one-serving minimum unless otherwise noted.
Proteins are typically 6oz per serving, carbs are usually 3-5oz per serving, and vegetables are typically 3-5oz per serving.
Reheating and assembly instructions are printed on each meal container. Most meals can be reheated in the microwave, but for the best quality, we recommend using a toaster oven, conventional oven, or stovetop when the label instructions allow.
fter you register or sign in, choose your pickup or delivery date when prompted. You can also make your selection at checkout.
