Hi, I am Jan
I am The Meal Prep Maid
My Daughter, Husband, and, the 4-Legged Child
My daughter has been culinary trained by Johnson and Wales University, I learn so much from her. Together we publish Love of Food Magazine and co-manage a very active Facebook group and Instagram account called LoveofFood NC.
My husband supports all my crazy ideas. I make him taste all my experiments, so it is a good thing he likes to eat. He also publishes a barbecue blog and Facebook group called All BBQ. You can see why I say food surrounds my life.
My dog is my constant companion as I write, cook, and design. He came into my life as a rescue when he was just six weeks old. I even meal prep for him!
My Friends
I am fortunate to have great friends who will take part in all my antics, like participating in a pickling party.
Sometimes I get them to wear our promotional gear and or pose for my cover photos.
Sometimes they bring their entire dinner table and chairs, along with their place settings for a Thanksgiving photo shoot in August
My Food Tribe
I love to hang out with and support women in the culinary field. (Sometimes I even hang out with a few good men). I vibe with people who appreciate and make a living with food. Personal chefs, food entrepreneurs, authors, actors, these people are all in my tribe, I feel so happy when I am around them and we all have a great time.
My Videos
Video #1
Juice That Watermelon was made way back in 2011.
Back then I had no idea that I would be still be doing this all these years later.
Video #2
Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce was made for the Holiday Issue of Love of Food Magazine in 2021
Video #3
Sheet Pan Quesadillas is a more recent Meal Prep Made video. This is a great way to up your freezer meal game.
Hopefully, all of this information has helped you to get to know me a bit better; I obviously love food.
I have a background in training adult learners and I am food safety certified.
I look forward to you becoming a member and meeting you in a Meal Prep Made class soon.
