Hi, I am Allianna Moximchalk formerly known as Allianna Schneider! I am the founder and visionary behind Allianna's Kitchen. I started my blog in 2017 as a way for me to keep busy while battling an autoimmune disease. I had lost my job because I was too sick to work and I needed something to keep me going. As my body started to heal people started asking me more and more for recipes, which eventually led to starting my journey as a personal chef.
Since then, I launched my meal prep delivery service with my husband in 2019. Back then I was still really sick. My husband Mitchell would come home from his job to help me cook. With time, things have evolved quite a bit and now we have a team of over 30 people. We have worked with thousands of clients in the Pittsburgh area including professional athletes and celebrities. Our motto around food is simple:eat delicious food that loves you back!
It is my passion to help others live a life that loves them back. I truly believe that it all starts with what you are putting into your body.
I received my undergraduate degree in Emergency Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh and my health coaching certificate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. My career decisions stem from my health struggles starting at the age of 5.
Following a routine tonsillectomy, I experienced near death complications that resulted in multiple abdominal surgeries and hospitalizations. By the age of 19, I was prescribed 13 different medications. Everyday was a struggle and I was miserable. I changed my diet, lifestyle, and I decided to eliminate medications without help from the physicians who insisted that I would not survive without them. I realized that all of my “illnesses” stemmed from a severe gluten sensitivity. In time, my foggy brain, PMS, allergies, migraines, depression, anxiety, asthma, and chronic abdominal pain all went away
As a child I was always at the mercy of my physician. It wasn’t until I took responsibility and put my health in my own hands that I started to feel better. It is now my passion to help others make their health a priority in their lives. When we have our health, we have everything.
As a prior division 1 college athlete I have always prioritized using food as fuel. The better I eat, the better my body feels. I have been getting Allianna’s Kitchen meals for almost a year now and it just makes life so much easier. I love having meals prepped and ready to go for work. All I have to do is reheat. I highly recommend Allianna’s Kitchen!

We loved having Allianna cook for us because we were confident in knowing we were getting whole, real ingredients every time. With my husband being a professional athlete and me as a mother to a newborn and two toddlers, we needed our food to be our fuel. She did just that all while making it taste delicious! Thank you Allianna!

I started ordering from Allianna in September of last year. In 6 years of trying a few services I found Allianna’s meals to be the best by far. She tailors the portions & contents to each of her clients. The food is clean, healthy, & delicious. I’m thankful that I found Allianna!

I started getting Allianna’s meals when I realized my GI symptoms were eased by going gluten free and limiting dairy. Being a working mom, it was hard for me to find time to make an additional meal that would be just for me. Using her service saves me so much time. Plus, she and her staff are better cooks than I am so I always look forward to what they’ve prepared!

Alliana provides meals that not only taste good but also make you feel good. Cooking 3 healthy meals a day for our family had become a stressor in my life until I found Alliana’s meal services. Not only do I love them but my husband and son also with the options of different portion sizes to fit our appetites. The vast options of healthy foods delivered to our door has been absolute game changer for our family this past year. Thankful for Alliana and her team and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a meal prep service.

My family and I have been using Allianna’s Kitchen for the last two years. I can’t recommend her meals enough! She focuses on whole foods that truly fuel your body. I loved knowing the foods we were putting into our bodies were nutritious, high quality, and made with LOVE! Not to mention, her own personal life story is super inspiring! Allianna’s meals make our bodies feel good, give us energy, and sustain us!! We plan to use her as long as we can. Thanks Allianna for providing my family with the highest quality meals and ingredients!

What made you start your blog?
I started this blog back in 2017 before I started my meal prep company as a passion project. It was something for me to do to keep my mind off of being so sick.
Where is your meal prep company?
My meal prep company is based out of Pittsburgh, PA but we deliver all over the Pittsburgh, Greensburg, and Indiana PA area. We also deliver to Wheeling WV. We deliver ready to eat meals, desserts and snacks. All of our dishes are naturally dairy free, gluten free, and soy free. We can also accommodate any dietary needs you may have.
How can I contact you?
You can contact me at info@alliannaskitchen.com.
Do you have kids?
Nope. We have a beabull named Douglas that I am obsessed with!
Where do you live?
I live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh.
Do you drink alcohol?
I do not! I did a dry month 5 years ago and have not looked back. I feel better ever since. I wrote a whole blog post called Questions To Ask Yourself During a Dry Month that lead me to giving it up for good.
What foods do you avoid?
I avoid dairy, gluten, and soy. I do not have an actual allergy to these foods but my body is super sensitive.
