 The Meals Made Easy recipes were developed by Lynda Byrnes-Pelichowski, a Cordon Bleu trained chef, who started her business in 2003. Her catalog covers a wide variety of meats, flavors and styles including Mediterranean, Asian, Mexican, and European dishes. Almost all dishes cook in less than 30 minutes or go into a crock pot. The recipes come with nutritionals that were professionally calculated by The Nutrition Connection.
Lynda also custom-develops recipes for multi-store meal prep businesses that need their own unique recipes that will not be sold to anyone else.
