How It Works

We provide you and your family with home-cooked meals to save you time. 

Having a private chef work for you and your family can be more affordable than you may think. For the cost of dining out, you can enjoy delicious meals tailored to your preferences and dietary needs.

We save you time so you can focus on the things that are most important to you. Meals are prepared in the store and can be picked up based on your schedule. We also always have grab and go meals and deserts available! Our meals can also be found at the East Side and West Side Science Nutrition – menu changes monthly!

Chef Ellen cooking
Do you have ingredient and nutrition information available?

Yes, I am happy to provide an ingredient and/or nutrition breakdown with your meals upon request, including a macro count if desired.

Where is the store located?

The store is located at 2210 West 69th Street, Suite 130 in Sioux Falls. The hours are Monday through Friday 10:00 am – 6:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. We are located on the corner of 69th and Western in the Remington Pointe shopping center.

How long are meals good for?

If stored in the fridge, we recommend using within 4 days from the date on the package.  All containers and meals are freezer friendly, and meals stored in the freezer will last 3 months in a regular freezer or 6 months in a deep freeze.

Can I put the containers in the microwave?

The individual size containers are microwave safe, but the lids are not.  Please use plastic wrap or a paper towel to cover meals during reheating. Family size containers are oven safe only.

Can I put the containers in the oven?

Individual containers are oven safe up to 400 degrees.  The lid is NOT oven safe, please cover your food with foil while reheating.  Family size containers and lids are oven safe.

Are meals freezer safe?

Yes, all meals and packaging are freezer safe.

I lost my reheating instructions, what do I do?

General reheating instructions are as follows: Oven – Preheat to 325 and cook, covered, for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Microwave – Cover and heat 2-3 minutes, stir, and heat another 2-3 minutes or until hot.

I had a different mix in my vegetable medley before, is that normal?

Yes. All meals are cooked from scratch, and to best utilize ingredients on hand and reduce waste, ingredients may vary slightly in meals from day to day.  If there are any ingredients you do not wish in your medley, please leave a comment on your order and Chef Ellen is happy to accommodate.

I have a severe food allergy, are your meals safe to consume?

While safety is a top concern, delivery and pick up meals are prepared in a commercial kitchen that may have come in contact with allergens.  While Chef Ellen takes care to work in a clean space free of cross-contamination, we recommend those with severe food allergies use in-home Personal Chef Services to insure a safe cooking environment.

I have a specific diet plan, can you make meals that fit what I need?

Yes!  Chef Ellen is happy to create custom meal plans to fit individual and family needs.  Using the client assessment form (online or PDF) and a copy of your plan, menu selections are offered to select from on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.
