Fall - Winter Menu

The Wandering Gourmet offers Meal Plans starting at $350 for a week’s worth of meals (5 weekdays) for two people.  Pricing includes menu planning, grocery shopping, food costs, meal preparation and containers.  At $400 the two-week, twenty-meal plan is our most popular.  However, we will customize and design a plan to suit your family’s needs. 

When you consider the time it takes to plan, shop, chop, cook and clean up for each meal, the cost of enjoying healthy, home-cooked, delicious meals by The Wandering Gourmet is an affordable investment. 

"Liz, Your hubby left a short time ago and I wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU!!  My fathers potassium went from 6.0 to 5.2 to 4.7!  YEAH.... and that's because of you and Dan.  You will never know what a blessing the two of you are to us........ Again, a very big thank you for your research and Dan's culinary talents.  When I come home my house smells fabulous."
