Delivered in an insulated cooler bag right to your work/home doorstep, you'll find your meals individually packaged with heating instructions clearly labeled. Transfer them to the refrigerator until you feel like eating. Then, when it's time for dinner (or lunch), all you have to do is put them in the microwave to heat.

I was so excited to see this chimichurri grilled steak with parsley potatoes and garden greens on the menu as we'd ordered this previously and it was a big hit. It's such a big time savor to not have to fire up the grill and no mess to clean up afterwards.

I chose the blackened chicken chop salad with honey mustard dressing because I figured it'd be an easy grab for quick lunches.

This was not your average salad as it was loaded with blackened chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, diced bell peppers, and chickpeas to add more flavor and color. My husband who in full transparency is not a big salad guy declared it was one of the best salads he's ever eaten and surprisingly filling!

A big Caesar salad fan myself, I was excited to see a chicken Caesar pasta salad pop up on the menu. Speaking of menu, it changes weekly which makes it fun to look forward to new additions each week. It also gave me an idea for a new recipe to add to my personal cookbook.

To no surprise, it was divine with delicious homemade croutons, shaved Parmesan cheese, hard boiled eggs, and perfectly coated with just the right amount of dressing.
Not only is this local and healthy meal delivery service perfect for busy families, but think of how kind it would be to gift this service to someone who has recently brought home a newborn or someone recovering from surgery or home sick.
