"Parker had struggled with food routines his entire adult life. He doesn't like to cook but he hates wasting money on takeout. Parker doesn't mind eating the same thing every day, though, so that made my job a bit easier. I enjoyed the challenge of designing two Parker-friendly meal plans and watching him get in the habit of assembling his own simple, balanced meals week after week." Sarah Henderson, Founder "I've never had a good food system my entire adult life. I don't normally have a nice meal unless I've ordered it somewhere. This is the closest I've come to that."

"Lisa was a unique client in that, rather than making food for herself, she asked me to help her make food for her parents. During each virtual meal prep session I guided her through how to prep seven days worth of dinners that she then froze and delivered to her parents once a week. In order to keep things simple and stress free, we took advantage of some precooked meats and frozen vegetables, but also cooked a few things from scratch. Each week had one crock pot freezer meal so her mom could just dump the prepped ingredients in the crock pot in the morning and have a delicious hot meal ready in time for dinner!" Sarah Henderson, Founder "When I discovered Sarah/Food Forethought, I was in a state of extreme overwhelm trying to juggle a full-time job, family, and the new realities of navigating a caregiver role for my parents during a Pandemic.
Sarah enthusiastically rose to the challenge and helped plan 3 weeks of delicious meals for my folks' specific situation, including our criteria of virtually all freezer meals with minimal effort *and* delicious! She planned everything meticulously down to the order of the grocery lists, orchestration of meal prep sessions & cooking tips over video conference, and instructions for serving. I can't express enough what a huge weight has been lifted with Sarah's help, and the peace of mind being able to provide for my folks as they age in place. I consider Sarah a very important part of my folks' "care team"! I've had a couple weeks doing this on my own now with what I've learned, and thanks to Sarah's guidance I've developed a "meal prep mindset" - I'm doubling recipes, using ingredients for multiple meals, using up what I already have, and the bonus is that I'm able to now meal prep for myself and my folks at the same time with great success. The more I practice, the easier it becomes. I would highly recommend Sarah's service if you're needing extra help with organizing meals for yourself, aging family, sick friends, new parents, etc.!" Lisa Donohue West Seattle "I had the pleasure of helping Magi get her food life organized while I was visiting her over the summer. Magi knew how to cook but was easily overwhelmed in the kitchen, so she tended to avoid it. We meal prepped together four times, mostly making simple quinoa salads, varying the veggies and sauces. I left her with grocery lists and instructions for each meal prep we did and am pleased to hear that she's keeping it up!" Sarah Henderson, Founder "Dude... this whole thing was the best. I just wrapped up a work week living off of what Sarah helped me make and package up in around 2 hours (definitely under 3). Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. I think we put together 5 days? It was way better and way cheaper than anything I would've done on my own. Food is my biggest struggle in life and I felt super empowered making my own food. Sarah's service is brilliant. It can't be boxed in because it targets a lot of folks. For me, I can cook... but she sees things better than I do, more holistically and she simplifies 'em. I tend to chose recipes that aren't sustainable for me to just whip together. I liked being a guinea pig. Thank you Sarah!"
