“I am so grateful for JLB Kitchen. As a martial arts fighter, discipline plays a huge role, especially when prepping for a fight. Having a variety of healthy meal options helps me to stay on track and achieve my goals. And a huge bonus, these meals are so delicious I did not even feel the need for any cheat meals!”
“Life is busy! – I’ve always struggled with healthy meal prep and now I have the opportunity to make life that much easier. Not only are the meals from JLB Kitchen delicious & healthy, knowing that dinner is already prepared has given me time back… I’m noticing a difference in my overall health and physical results. I’m excited on a weekly basis knowing a new JLB menu is coming out. Thank you JLB Kitchen!”

Chef John Morris began his culinary career as an apprentice at Canadian Pacific Hotels’ Lodge at Kananaskis in the Rocky Mountains. After working at Caesars Hotel and Casino in Windsor, he spent 13 years in Ottawa, where he was part of the opening team at Brookstreet Hotel, worked at the Ottawa Marriott, and later became Executive Chef at the National Arts Centre, earning recognition for his signature Canadian cuisine.
From 2016 to 2022, John led 360 Restaurant at the CN Tower, where he championed sustainability, earning awards such as Toronto’s Greenest Choice (2018), the Ocean Wise Chowder Chow Down (2019), and LEAF Certification. His collaborations with Chef David Wolfman helped bring Indigenous-inspired menus to life, and he played a key role in securing Ocean Wise and Feast ON certifications.
In 2022, John shifted his focus to JLB Kitchen, a partnership with his wife Jenny, a holistic nutritionist and coach. Their mission is to help people eat well without sacrificing flavor. As a father and stepfather, John is passionate about sustainability, sourcing local ingredients, and building relationships with producers. He has also mentored aspiring chefs as a part-time Chef Professor at Durham College.
At JLB Kitchen, John remains committed to reducing food waste, greening operations, and serving the best seasonal ingredients—because great food should nourish both people and the planet!
Fitness Coach & Registered Holistic Nutritionist Jenny Morris’ passion for health, fitness, and nutrition led her to leave the corporate world in 2016 to build JLB Fitness from the ground up. Today, she coaches group fitness at Are You Game Conditioning Club—Durham’s top strength and conditioning facility—while working with diverse individual clients to help them feel strong, capable, and confident.
From improving mobility in elderly clients to training bodybuilders for competition, Jenny customizes each plan to fit her clients’ unique goals, whether it’s weight loss, lowering blood pressure, or enhancing athletic performance. Her greatest motivation comes from seeing clients realize their own potential.
In 2022, Jenny became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and co-founded JLB Kitchen with her husband, Chef John Morris, combining nutrition and culinary expertise to promote a holistic approach to health. She believes that food is both fuel and enjoyment—when used wisely, it can transform energy, mood, and overall well-being without deprivation.
A proud mom and stepmom, Jenny is dedicated to empowering clients with the knowledge to create lasting change, inspiring a ripple effect of health in their families and communities. She holds certifications as a CanFitPro Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, and Registered Holistic Nutritionist from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
JLB Kitchen started as a collaborative dream in 2020 by Chef John Morris and his wife, Nutritionist Jenny Morris (Brewer) They realized very quickly that Chefs and Nutritionists look at food very differently. Coming together they were able to create what some say is impossible – dishes that are both tasty and craveable, and also provide healthy fuel for an active body!

As parents we recognize the importance of doing everything we can to try and leave the planet in great shape for the future. Therefore, we decided to use meal containers that are 100% compostable and our lids are 100% recyclable.
Simply remove the lid (and sauce containers when present) and reheat the meal until it reaches 74’C or 165’F. You can achieve this in a variety of ways: oven/toaster oven or Chef’s favourite: remove from container and sauté in a pan. The microwave also works very well in a pinch, although our Nutritionist will remind us that this also reduces the nutrient content of your meal.
Our kitchen does at times utilize some common food allergens (nuts and nut milks). That said, many of our meals are free from gluten and dairy, and they are clearly labeled as such on the item description at the time of purchase. Please note we are not a nut free facility. If you need more info, please contact us at meals@jlbkitchen.ca
Any pickup orders not picked up by 1:30pm on Fridays will be brought to our partners at Feel Good Natural Health Store, located at 317 Brock St. S in Whitby by 4pm on Fridays. You can pick them up at your convenience, any time the store is open (7 days a week, depending on the season, please check their website www.feelgoodnatural.com/contact-us/ for current store hours)
