Hey Folks!

In the era of “something’s gotta give”, this little side project has turned into that something. This week is going to be the last week offering meal prep for awhile.

I love doing this, I want to continue doing this, and I believe I can do it better. With that, I am going to go on hiatus until the fall and come back with a commercial space and a better organized model. The concept remains but a severe time deficit is preventing this from being what I want it to be.

Thank you for all of your support and hyping me up. Apologies for the last minute decision. Please reach out to me with questions or alternate options for getting food that makes you feel good!

I’ll continue working on my social media presence but will otherwise get this ball rolling again in the fall. 🫶

The menu for next week is up and set!

I am are offering a limited rotating menu for the next 6 weeks while I slog through the remainder of my student rides.

The rotating menu will have 4 items, still offering a full $6 menu with a rotating salad each week, and a rotating weekly soup.

Y’all are ordering so much food and it is the greatest problem to have! I want to get everything to you tasting awesome and made with quality ingredients. In order to do that I have to do less until I have more time. Thank you for understanding and please let me know if you have any food request! Especially soups that you want to eat!

✨$8 menu & soup changes weekly - posted every Friday
✨$6 menu changes seasonally
✨No minimum on orders
✨I am a one person start up operation that offers this resource when I’m not at my primary job. Everything is evolving as we go and my lack of streamlined-technology-friendly-systems reflect that. Thank you for being here and supporting a small woman/first responder owned business 🫶

Thanks so much for all the continued support Urchin fans! Your orders and referrals allow me to keep trying new meals and adding more fresh and fun ingredients. I’m so excited to get to do this and continue to grow.

Wondering about ordering meal prep from Urchin Kitchen? Send a DM 😍

I am small and growing business starting a project to offer healthy and affordable food, the way it should be. I believe eating well should be accesible and am in a place of privilege where I can use my skills and experiences to take this opportunity and start crowd sourced community projects like this with much growth to come.

With that, this is a one person operation being run out of a small private kitchen (for the time being) which just means I need a 48 hour buffer on orders but am so happy to talk via phone or text with you and answer all your questions and work towards your dietary needs.

Urchin Kitchen meal prep offers 14 different meal options each week with 7 rotating meals. Delivery dates are flexible and home delivery is available. Allergies and dietary restrictions are accomodated. Rotating menus are posted on social media every Friday for the coming week. Soon we will be offering nutritional info on meals, in the meantime you’ll just have to trust that it’s a better option than your local roller dog 🌭

Healthy, filling, and colorful 🌈

Just because meal prep isn’t as exciting as freshly cooked and served food, that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

Whether you’re making it at home or purchasing your meal prep, don’t sacrfice the flair. A new sauce, pickle, or garnish might be all it takes to keep you engaged in your weekly dietary goals.

I am working on a sister page that will have recipes, cooking, nutrition, money saving shopping tips, and more. Stay tuned for that chaos ✨

In the meantime, keep slaying and thanks for supporting this little ol’ business while we get on our feet 🫶

Fresh pasta, turkey sausage, blistered tomatoes, kale, Gouda, & basil bread crumbs.

Simple, healthy, and hits the spot. Don’t overthink your meal prep friends. Eat your veggies before you hit that roller dog.

02/29/2024

Keeping it simple and veggie forward for the coming week.

What are hand held foods you like to eat during the week?

I’m excited about different wraps and other foods that can be eaten on the go without a fork or microwave. Standby for further developments with that intention.

02/29/2024

Honey siracha grilled chicken, roasted cauliflower, garlicky kale

Fresh meals with real food shouldn’t be inaccessible.
Death to the roller glizzy (not the Costco dog tho).
Death to urban food deserts.

Some bahn mi wrap R&D. Evolving to be the thing I eat for lunch everyday because I can’t not.

Find it on our $6 menu with marinated + grilled pork or tofu!

My friends, next weeks’ menu is being posted a day early to get you a head start on getting orders in if you’re so inclined.

For the next 6 weeks I will be doing student rides for my paramedic. What this means for you is that I need a 48 hour buffer on all orders so I can get you what you need and have it tasting amazing 😀

We are leaning into fresher ingredients and trickling more salads onto the menus. If there is anything you don’t want in your rotating orders make sure to tell us otherwise you’re going to get all the vegetable centric dishes 👀

Thank you all so much for your support and patience as I grow this little business dedicated to getting healthy and affordable food out to all of you baddies trying to make this world a better place, whether you want to admit it or not ✨

Y’all I am so looking forward to winter ending. Not only do I need consistently warm days but I need new produce. This kale and root vegetable season is killin’ me, how about you?

We are nearing the end of February and that means fresh spring ingredients are on the horizon. Vegetable and herb centered meals are in our near future.

Until then we are seeing this week out with a few last warm and saucy dishes to get us through the last days of grey winter weather.

$8 meals - rotating
$6 meals - non rotating
Soup - pint, quart, or batch

A quick background on my cooking career and a face to the name for those of you that don’t already know me ✨

I have a 15 year and counting career in the food industry. I went to culinary school in Washington state and went on to learn from lots of amazing people all over. Alaska, California, Nevada, Montana, US Virgin Islands, and Indonesia all have an enormous influence on how I look at food, culture, & and community ❤️

I’ve worked in restaurants ranging from dive bars to a Michelin starred restaurant. From milking cows to pruning orchards, working in research labs to fueling athletes, I have been invested in farming, cooking, and nutrition for as long as I can remember. Recently pivoting to healthcare, I am making every effort to combine my passions.

Last year I moved to Oklahoma City to work as a Paramedic in a large city while I complete my Master’s degree in Dietetics. I have a lot of community oriented goals I plan to see through as I rip down this path and I intend to do so through my business, Urchin Kitchen!

Urchin Kitchen is a culmination of all of my experiences and things that make me happy. The ability to offer healthy food at affordable prices to the general public with a focus on first responders is the the bones of this beast. Personal chef work and catering are the functional and ever evolving facets.

Thanks for being here for the ride, I have big plans and can’t wait to see how it unfolds. Hit a girl up with questions - I love answering them 🫶

01/30/2024

Honey Sriracha turkey meatballs, rice, stir fry veggies, cilantro, basil, and lime ✨

It’s the last week of our $6 meal prep only menu. Starting Thursday we will have more options and price changes!
