I’m a self-taught chef born and raised in Long Beach, California, where food was more than just a meal—it was the heartbeat of family gatherings. My love for cooking started as a kid, standing in the kitchen watching my parents and grandmother work their magic. The sizzling pans, the aroma of spices, the joy on everyone’s faces—those moments planted a seed that’s been growing ever since.
Over the years, I taught myself everything from backyard BBQ to elevated comfort food, blending the flavors I grew up with and the techniques I’ve mastered along the way. As a father of three, cooking has become my way of showing love, not just to my family but to anyone who sits down at my table.
For me, it’s more than recipes—it’s about creating experiences. There’s nothing better than watching someone take that first bite and seeing their face light up. That reaction fuels me, and it’s why every dish I make is prepared with passion, soul, and a little bit of Long Beach grit.
Don't just take our word for it
The meal plan took all the stress out of eating healthy. Everything was laid out for me, and I still felt full and satisfied
I've been using this for weeks now and it's become an essential part of my daily routine. Highly recommended!
Fast shipping, great packaging, and the product works exactly as described. Will definitely order again!
Mannie’s got the portion sizes and macros on lock. I do 8oz protein meals, and every single one has been spot on—clean, flavorful, and consistent. Whether I’m cutting or bulking, this prep keeps me dialed in without sacrificing taste. Highly recommend to anyone chasing real results.
This meal plan isn’t a diet it’s a lifestyle. I actually enjoy the food and look forward to meals instead of feeling restricted and anxious about the time I'd have to put into cooking
These seasonings completely changed my kitchen game. Everything tastes like restaurant-quality now without me needing to overthink spices.
The flavors are bold but balanced. I literally don’t buy store seasonings anymore — this is all I use.
I used the seasoning on grilled chicken and my kids asked for seconds. That has never happened before!
I love that the blends are clean, no hidden junk, and they bring out the flavor of the food instead of covering it up.
As someone who watches sodium intake, I appreciate how flavorful these are without being loaded with salt. Game-changer.
