about us
it’s funny, as a parent, you suddenly find that you’ve become a role model. you find yourself cleaning up your language as well as your eating habits.
eating well becomes a high priority that, unfortunately, is often at odds with the bazillion other things going on.
with all the stuff life throws at you, it’s no surprise that by the time suppertime rolls around, cooking a decent meal can be the last thing you feel like doing.
that’s where meals for mums comes in….
meals for mums was dreamt up between two vancouver mums, sarah loewen and tamsin tarling, during playdates and over endless cups of tea.
we reminisced about what it was like to be brand new parents. we realized how lucky we had been to have friends and family drop by meals in the weeks after the birth of our babies.
we also noted that about week 4 after the birth, the novelty of your new arrival had worn off, and people stopped coming 'round. but it was at that exact moment that the sleep deprivation was really kicking in and you no longer wanted to spend endless hours staring at your baby, you just wanted some sleep! and the very last thing on your mind is getting into the kitchen and cooking yourself a decent meal.
thus, the idea for meals for mums was born!
soon after we hatched our idea, we were lucky enough to meet two extremely talented and knowledgeable ladies, tara browman and anne bresnahan. together, they bring years of experience and expertise in culinary arts and holistic nutrition.
when you think about convenience food, one thing that comes to mind is unhealthy. meals for mums believes that you can eat convenient yummy food without giving up the good-for-you factor!
we use fresh, quality, healthy ingredients and, where ever possible, organic and local produce. we’re in tune with the world around us, so you’ll notice we change things up on a seasonal basis. we also care deeply about the environment, and like to share tips on easy ways to protect it.
