Mornings in the kitchen with Eugene Torres look a little different than with most people. From the space he rents in Waxahachie Country Club, Torres starts his Sundays and Tuesdays by whipping up fresh, delicious, and healthy meals with a touch of cultural flair. His company, Fresh n’ Rico, then delivers homemade meals on Mondays and Wednesdays to members of his local community. But Torres doesn’t just deliver your standard Tex-Mex fare; his company has made a name for itself by crafting custom low-carb meals catering to busy professionals who don’t want to sacrifice flavor to lose weight.
Supporting weight-loss with a busy life
Torres and his wife know firsthand how difficult it can be to eat healthily and follow a dietary plan. With the birth of their son Micah, the Torres family found that one of the best ways to keep food ready was to prepare meals in advance and keep them to quickly grab and go while chasing their rambunctious little one. Torres’ meals are convenient, which makes them perfect for traveling on a diet as well. Fresh n’ Rico has gone out of their way to take their customers’ dietary needs into account when creating their weekly menus, which means coming up with creative solutions to provide flavor without processed sugar or carbs.
“With me being a chef, meals come with three components to them. Instead of having your vegetable, starch, and protein, I have salsas, garnishes, and a crunch factor. It’s just like sitting in a restaurant,” Eugenio said.
Serving up culture with a smile
In order to mitigate a market that’s less interested in carbs and sugar than ever before, Eugenio and his wife relied on their Puerto Rican heritage to create healthy meals packed with flavor. Their business relies not only on getting creative in the kitchen but also connecting with their community. By understanding the specific weight-loss, lifestyle, and dietary needs of their customers, Torres was able to create a comprehensive rotation of meals that both taste great and fit with any diet. Many of the recipes were inspired by the Torres’ travels and later modified to incorporate what they learned to fit the needs of their community members.
A passion for food and family
So, what’s next for Fresh n’ Rico? The small company hopes to bring more and more of their community into the Fresh family. They are now providing both personal and catering services to help businesses and party goers enjoy fresh and tasty food as well.
