Spring has sprung....

I love spring, and it's here, it's finally here... well until the next snowfall, we do live in Utah after all. Sunshine and capris one day, snow and winter coats the next. Just look at what I found in my garden, and by my garden I really mean someone elses, and by someone elses, I mean on the internet, but it is beautiful...

Next week my darling children are out of school for Spring Break. We usually go out of town for a little get away, but not this year. This year we decided to stay home and relax... ya right- there is no relaxing when you have all the kids at home all...day...long.

Up And Runnin'...

Holy whirl wind of a week! I have the first week under my belt and things went pretty well. Thank you so much to all my fabulous customers from last week. I truly hope you enjoyed your food as much as I love preparing it.

Someone asked me how I come up with the menus and recipes, the truth is I don't know. Just like a photographer can look at a particular location and have vision and inspiration that's kind of what I do but with food and recipes. The meals I make are not necessarily original, or fancy they are just what I feel like eating that week. I remember my first trip to Seattle and Pike Place Market... OH MY GOSH I could live there.

This was the MOST beautiful sight to me. I know it's lame to most people, but this gets me excited, this gets my mind running and thinking of ALL the things I can create. I would have stayed all day and shopped and then ran home to create yummy things, but we were staying in a hotel. Ingredients are inspiration to me and sometimes recipes and ideas come as easy as walking into a grocery store. Other times I get stuck and look through magazines, or on the Internet. Sometimes inspiration comes with a change in season which was partly the case for this weeks meals.

While thinking of the menu for the upcoming week I've had a couple thoughts running thru my head, the first being my Mom Margie, who has taught me the love of cooking. When I think of her, I of course think of Mexican food because that's my heritage, I know blonde hair blue eyes- who'd ever believe it? It's what I grew up on. It's what I craved when I was pregnant, and what I turn to when I need comfort. Nothing cures a bad day like fresh tortillas... I remember, when I was in High School, begging her not to make it because then our house would "stink" like Mexican food, and now when I walk up to her house and smell that "amazing stink" of Mexican food, I know I'm home.
My second thought this week is I want something easy to prep for Tuesday because I have so much to do to get 6 people out the door for baseball on Wednesday. So here it is next weeks menu...

Monday March 11-
     Margie's Famous Tacos with Rice- Beef tacos in handmade tortilla shells (these will be prepped for you but you will need to fry at home) Lettuce and tomato provided.
**You may want to have on hand, oil for frying, cheese, salsa, or sour cream, or any other toppings you like $25


Tuesday March 12-
      Cheese Tortellini in Basil cream sauce with Grilled Chicken and Italian green beans also comes with a fresh loaf of Homemade Bread- This is a fairly light dish despite it's name. The basil, yellow bell peppers and Italian green beans make this a great dish to welcome Spring! $25

I am so overwhelmed at the response I have gotten from friends on Facebook and we haven't even officially launched yet!!!! We are close to our 50th "Like" on FB and I will give one lucky person a FREE Fresh Fix meal for simply sharing our picture and liking my page.  To say that I am excited about this new little venture would be an understatement.

I just wanted to take a minute to answer a couple of questions I've received.  Fresh Fix meals are made fresh each day they are not meant to be freezer meals, however what you choose to do with your meal is up to you. The premise behind Fresh Fix is that you have a hot, fresh wonderful meal for your family with minimal effort.

Some of our meals are Gluten-free, or Organic but that will be included with each meal description. I assure you that I make every effort to use the best ingredients available to me when preparing Fresh Fix meals. 

When ordering please be sure to list any allergies you may have, I will contact you with more information if I feel necessary.

As a reminder, while starting out, there will be 4 of each meal available each day. All orders must be made in advance. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate same day orders. To make ordering easy (and fair) please order via email at afreshfix@gmail.com.  Our menu will be posted via our blog
 ( afreshfix.blogspot.com ) on Friday morning. Please be sure to become a Follower of this Blog so you will be one of the first to see the Menus each week! You can do this by clicking the button to the right of this post >>>>>>>>>>

You will be able to order immediately after the Menu posting. You will be sent a confirmation email if you are one of the lucky ones to get your order in. If you need to cancel your order for any reason I ask that you give 24 hours notice so that I can offer it to another customer. I currently accept cash and checks.

Just to get your saliva flowing here's a sample of just some of the Menu items you can look forward to...

A Fresh Start...

Why A Fresh Fix?  What do YOU eat for dinner each night?  Is it saturated with oils and sauces and creams? Has it been canned, processed, or frozen and absolutely void of any nutritional value?  Well - let me step in.  Let me create meals for you that you'll feel GREAT about serving to your families and putting in your body.

All of my Fresh Fix meals are made fresh daily with the best ingredients, never frozen, never sitting around with an expiration date... I make the meals that you would make if you had the time.

Fresh Fix meals are prepped and ready for your oven. Generally, all that is required on your end is a thorough heating as per instructions included with your meals. Some speciality meals may require slightly different effort but all this information will be listed on the menu prior to order. 

Fresh Fix meals are prepared from my tested recipes. It is very difficult to customize some recipes, but if you have a specific request please list it with your order and I can evaluate whether or not I am able to accomodate.

How does it work?  Fresh Fix meals are available for pick up Monday thru Thursday. Every Friday morning on my Facebook Page I will post the menu for the upcoming week. All you have to do is PRIVATE MESSAGE me your orders along with your contact information. I only make a set number of meals each day so get your orders in EARLY, it's a first come basis. 

All meals will be ready for pick up between 3:30-5 p.m. What?! Why can't I pick it up later?  Well you see I have 4 children that keep me running during the evening and my family is my top priority as well as sitting down with them for our own nightly family dinner. Early/late pick-ups can be arranged with prior notice.

Fresh Feedback- I want to hear from you! After purchasing and eating your Fresh Fix meal please give me your Fresh Feedback. Please comment on this blog or comment on my Facebook Page. 

All of my meals have been taste tested by some of the toughest critics I know... my own family, and friends. I don't claim to be a trained Chef, I just have a true love of cooking and want to share my love with you. I have catered Family Reunions, Dinner Parties, Corporate Luncheons, small gatherings, as well as fabulous parties with neighbors and friends. I love to welcome friends into my home to gather round and chat while I cook for them. This really is something I LOVE to do, so let me make your next Fresh FIx!
