You'll learn some new recipes as we assemble the meal packs as a group around your kitchen table or island. As the host, you curate your own menu from our more than 50 meal options. At the end of the workshop, each person takes home delicious Freezer Meal Packages for their family.

No shopping, no chopping, no prep and no mess. We bring everything needed for the workshop! (No refrigeration is required, but we need use of a sink and hot water.)

    Testimonials

    • "I was so excited to find Basil and Bacon! I attended a workshop at Fionas cafe and was hooked! The meals are healthy, delicious and so easy. My 2 year old gobbles everything up - toddler approved easy meals! Score! No more standing in the kitchen after a long day saying - what should I make for dinner - score!! Having it often cooked in the slow cooker so all I have to do is serve it - hat trick!!! I've attended 2 workshops now and have been so happy with the set up, meals. Everything. It's awesome. Getting the girls together and hosting my own soon!!” - Jennifer

As a mother of two working full time, these meals have saved my family from countless preservative ridden and fast food options because life gets so busy! Thank you Becky for the amazing meals and recipes. Several have become part of my weekly rotation and I love seeing the new ones you add over time!” - Kaeli

I am a single mom with two boys so life gets pretty busy for us and having meals in the freezer ready to go is a life saver.
