Looking for Personal Chef/Meal Preparation

We're expecting our third child in a couple of weeks. I am looking for someone to come prepare (or deliver) a bunch of meals I can freeze and have on hand after the baby comes. Can anyone recommend a service like this in Austin? Many of the ones I'm finding on craigslist and through google are geared toward vegetarian or special diets, which we are definitely not. We're more casserole, pasta, and meat and steamed veggies types.

TIA!
 
I meant to ask about this in my post -- I have both near me, but I haven't heard any opinions on which is better. The only appeal of SS over DD is that many of the DD meals are not suggested for splitting before freezing, and it's way too much food for us. But I do like their menu better, I think. Thanks!

Menu changes weekly. Delivery to home or office. He is the former executive chef at Chez Nous and they are both great folks. Entrees usually make 3-4 meals (with sides). I was one of their first customers and we order regularly. Outstanding.
 
I like both and my wife alternates between the two so you don't order the same meals each time.

Dream Dinners have a little more variety in terms of flavor. But they do a lot of roasts which can't be split. But if you're feeding four (baby doesn't count), then you probably don't need to split meals.

Super Suppers have more traditional menus and almost all can be split. Personally, I prefer Dream Dinners but they're both good.

One thing for both places is to pick meals that are conducive to freezing and reheating like roast or casseroles.

And watch out for the salt on all the entrees, they can be a little salty if you add the amount they recommend.
