So for those that don't know, for the last two, almost three months, I have been busy creating, cooking and delivering meals as part of a lunch delivery business.
The Meals are portioned properly and include wholesome ingredients and a focus on healthy lunches.
They come in microwavable dishes and delivered three days a week.
I started by targeting the two closest schools to me, an elementary school and middle school.
The response was slow at first. But I wasn't dismayed, every week I put out a menu, and every so often a new name would ask for an order.

Its hard to ask someone to change the way they think about their meals. If the person is in a situation in which they make those decisions the same day, its hard to ask them to order their lunches a few days in advance. I get it. Change is hard.

However I am happy to say that I have delivered over 120 orders since the first week.
Now as the New Year approaches, I have put forth the menus for the next four weeks, concentrating solely on Paleo and Whole-30 type items. and asked potential costumers to prepay in advance, with a small savings of course. This would be as part of a Commitment to start the New Year on the right foot.

Here is the letter I sent them:
****
As the year ends, and the eating of Holiday Treats and Delicious meals starts to accumulate, I wanted to put forth an idea for a clean and healthy start to the New Year.
The next Four Menus into the New calendar year will be focused on a Balanced Whole-30 or Paleo approach.
Keeping that in mind, I want to offer a Commitment Plan to Purchase all 19 Meals for the month of January for a discount price of $7 a meal. That's a total of $133.00.
The meals will still be the same that everyone else will be able to purchase. Just at the reduced price.
The purpose of COMMITTING to the meal plan for the whole time is focusing on cleaning your body of all the extras that end up in your system during a month like December.
Certain food groups (like sugar, grains, dairy and legumes) end up in your system after digestion and could have a negative impact on your health and fitness without you even realizing it.
The plan is to rid our body of the toxin build up by eating "whole" foods and avoiding all the Processed Boxed Varieties.
The New Year already brings with it a sense of starting something new, and resolutions. START YOURS.
Interested? Please email me the request for the menus and I will forward them separate for review before deciding.
The CUT-OFF for the Pre Purchase Plan will be Saturday January 6th by the end of the day.
Hope to hear from ye'all and Have a Happy Holiday!!!
****

So far at least 7 people have shown interest, with several committing, and there is still a few weeks before the deadline.
Although I started doing this as part of a way to stay busy while the Food Trailer is finishing up getting ready, it might turn out to be a little bit more than I had hoped it might be.

Anyway, just wanted to share a little success....

Vent Hood installed

28/09/2017

Update... So due to some unforeseen Financial restraints I'm pushing the opening of the trailer a few months farther back. We're still going to work on getting it together as much as we can but you might have to see a 2018 opening. Aside from that the meal plan delivery picking up a bit this week's menu looks great see below... I'm not going to let this little snag in the road get me down I've gotten this far as long as I push forward eventually I'll see that opening. I most certainly would not have gotten this far without everyone support and love. Thanks

meal deliveries for:
Monday meal on the right, with rice and salad.
Tuesday meal on the left, with fixings.

So this next week we should get the trailer back from the hood install. In the meantime this week another order of weekly meal plans go out, here is the menu. Right now I'm focusing on Pflugerville, especially the teachers at the middle school. Gonna Open it up in two weeks to the elementary school. Message me if you are close with in 10 miles and you would like to order. I'll see if i can fit it in.

One of my clients posted pictures of her food. Honey glazed turkey with Colby-Jack, spinach, tomatoes and pickle wrapped in a spinach tortilla on the left. Ancient Grains pasta with pork and beef meatballs and a garlic tomato sauce. Both meal served with chopped vegetable salad.

Okay update... The trailer is in its final stages of having installed items put into it things that I can't do myself such as the hood vents.
After that it's just a matter of purchasing a couple more appliances and storage and tables to put into the trailer but that should be just a matter of time and money which I have very little time and very little money... So it'll be a crunch.
In other news I have began delivering weekly meal plans sand smoothies to the local Middle School teachers. Today I had my first order drop off.
Hopefully I'll see some more orders and I might expand that into the local elementary school.
Otherwise things are great I'm always thinking about other things I could try to do to move things along and I'm always thinking ahead as to my plan of attack when I am fully licensed with the trailer.
Thanks again for all your support and look out for some more news...

Food trailer update got a message from the construction crew letting me know that the work that they're doing will be done by Thursday. After that will come installation of appliances, working counters and storage. Everyday is one step closer. I'm already looking at festivals in October to sign up to.
