Part 2 of 2: Some…read moredishes I quite liked, such as Keto Grillin' (my favourite), Macro Shred, Paleo Foody, The Sea Ghost, Vegan Pump, Italian Passion, Iron Macros, and Seaside Paleo; but the majority of the dishes were so-so and not worth ordering again, and the Globe Trottin' Keto was downright nasty (I don't know if it had gone bad, but it tasted somewhat rotten). Also, the wraps were awful -- dry and bland. I initially really liked the Daybreak wrap -- it was moist, cheesy, and flavourful, but when I ordered it again, it was dry and bland like the others. Conclusion: some of their food is pretty good (for the most part, they do steak, chicken, and potato/yam mashes well), but most of it is meh, and for $12.99 to $15.99 per meal, it is not worth ordering. And if I do find something I really like, I can't always re-order it because the menu changes every week. Despite being disappointed with the majority of the dishes, I decided to place an order last week. I ordered: my favourites Keto Grillin' and Macro Shred; Grecian Keto (chicken souvlaki with cheese and zucchini fritters, cauliflower hummus, and tzatziki), Those Thighs Oh My (paprika-seasoned chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, grilled zucchini, and red onion), T-Rex Goes Hunting (beef and broccoli stir fry over brown rice), and Sexy and You Know It (blackened chicken breast over pasta with sun-dried tomato sauce). The T-Rex Goes Hunting and Sexy and You Know It dishes were quite good (I'd re-order again), but I was disappointed with the Grecian Keto and Those Thighs Oh My. That being said, would I order from them again? Probably, from time to time. However, I will not be regularly ordering from them as there aren't always dishes I like, and when I try something new, the majority of the dishes are just so-so. Not bad, but not worth the price. Give them a try, and if you like their food, awesome! Note that they only deliver on Sundays and Mondays (you must place an order by Thursday of the previous week), and the delivery fee is a very reasonable $5 for orders under $100 (free delivery over $100).

This is a great options for busy people! I have tried numerous delivery services but they were…read moremostly for those wanting to adhere to a strict diet for weight loss (ie. Boring, tasteless and sad portions!). I have been disappointed with many of the services in Vancouver until I saw real meals through a simple web search. Sarah makes all the meals herself, with help from her family. She is passionate about what she does, and she believes in keeping her quality consistent. We have made three orders so far for busy work weeks. The Shepard's pie is my favourite. The soups are hearty and great portions. We are happy with the quality of food, the delivery service and the ease at which we can order online. Finally, a food delivery service that doesn't get boring after one week. My only reservation is that they still have a limited menu, but I'm sure Sarah is working on it. Support this wholesome company.

I got a voucher for Real Meals at my baby shower. I was REALLY excited when I got it, as a couple…read morehome made meals when you're sleep deprived is amazing. I had never used a meal service before, so was unsure what to expect. The Good - Owner was amazingly pleasant. Great service, great on the phone. Food was like grama makes and everything is organic (if you care about that sort of thing). The Bad - After going onto the website and seeing some soups I'd like, I was let down by the unavailability. I'm guessing since it's a small family gig, they can't keep stock supplies up too high, but it was a real bummer not being able to get the stuff I wanted. Hopefully once they expand a bit this won't happen. Delivery was alright. She was a bit late from the scheduled time, but it wasn't like I was going anywhere fast. This service also comes at a pretty hefty price. The soups I would skip - almost $30 for a 2L tub of soup. I understand its a small family thing and they use organic, but... coming from someone who enjoys cooking... I would just make my own for a fraction of the cost. I would do the lasagna again however. Almost same price ($25 or so) and much more filling. Good to note - if you have a man in the house, disregard the suggested portion sizes. Their "individual" lasagna is only enough for one, not two servings.

Fresh Prep is available in Toronto/GTA! So I was lured in by their 50% deal and paid $100 for $200…read moreworth of credits, which seems to be open to all first time customers. If you sign up at their booth at the Autoshow they also offer some swag on sign up. Since it was free delivery for the first delivery, we decided to spend all the credit at once... now maybe we ordered way too much but we ended up splitting the order with another household. I think the best value is if you stick to 1-2 recipes and order more portions of that as I see sometimes there are specials for additional portions. However, since I want to try a variety, we ordered a few different recipes. Pros: - Love the packaging and how all the things are precut, portioned and you just dump it in the pan and cook. However, I did notice I need to spend some time reading instructions but it wasn't too hard. I've tried recipes so far. - Easy to pause your account indefinitely or skip a week on your profile settings. - You can schedule for bag and container pick up so it's a bit more sustainable than the alternative meal prep delivery services. - It's cool to try some new recipes and ingredients I wouldn't usually buy. However, I don't think the recipe cards are easy to replicate yourself afterwards because the provide you the marinades, spices and sometimes things come pre-mixed. Recipe tried: - Spicy Apricot Chicken Rice Bowl Kit - it was okay, probably not something I'll return to. It also was a bit more sweet than spicy. It's just a regular stir fry with some sweeter sauce and doesn't feel as special. - Greek Chicken & Pumpkin Soup - my favourite, I love their pumpkin soup with garlic bread. I never would've bought or cooked with orzo. So I tried something new - Bean burrito - We enjoyed this dish, it was very hearty with lots of protein. Some sauces and ingredients I tried that I normally wouldn't buy on my own. We add in our pumpkin puree soup from one of their recipes into the bean burrito. - Surf and turf - The salad was really good has this lovely dressing. Though I feel like the salad comes with a small portion since it doesn't come with carbs so more salad for 2 servings would be better. Cons The website is a bit trickier to navigate and get used to at first. The way they break it down on the subtotal, it's hard to figure out the cost per portion per recipe without breaking out a calculator. The discounts are only applied to one tallied line. Sometimes there's a promo with an additional serving, but it doesn't tally under the one recipe so you can't tell how much on average each serving is for that specific recipe is after discounts. It does seem a bit pricier than just cooking but that's not exactly what I'm comparing to... the alternative if I'm lazy to cook, is we go out to eat, which is generally more expensive. After delivery, the optimal freshness is within 4 days so it makes me cook it so I don't waste it. Delivery is on Wednesdays and Sundays. For example you need to opt in by Wednesday and select your options for Sunday delivery. Usually I like to decide the day before but I suppose with logistics of packing the ingredients, I don't think they can allow for later decisions. Overall I'll consider going back again... but perhaps 1-2 recipes a week with more portions to get a better bang for the buck. It just doesn't make sense for us to cook with a little portion of rice they give us in some of the recipes. It's just easier to cook a larger serving size one time. But if you want variety and have time to cook different meals each day, this is not a bad option. PS if you need a referral, get $45 off first order: https://www.freshprep.ca/?r=0c5yfaz8_kblwru5e

Nearly two years ago, my neighbor went on vacation and forgot to pause her subscription to Fresh…read morePrep, so she emailed me, asking if I wanted to take her two meals that were being delivered that day, her gift to me. Who am I to refuse such a gift??!!! I knew nothing about meal delivery services so I had zero expectations. But, OMG was I impressed! My daughter and I cooked one of those meals together that first night and it was such a great experience for us. And the dinner was excellent. We kept saying, it was "restaurant quality". Super easy to do, with idiot-proof directions, and super fresh ingredients, all pre-measured and labelled. Quite frankly we were blown away. We cooked the second meal for dinner the following night, wondering if we just got lucky with the fabulous meal the night before. Nope, the second night's dinner was as excellent as the first, and as easy to make. We were hooked. I'm not one for indulgent spending. I am unemployed and am on a budget. But I calculated, for me, the money spent per meal at Fresh Prep is a good deal, as my dinners for 2 nights a week were arranged, I knew said meals would be healthy and well-balanced, as I'd be selecting them myself from a wide variety of options, I'd be saving a lot of time as I wouldn't have to go to a bunch of different stores to track down ingredients (some are not common. And let's be honest: who wants a lot of some esoteric spice or product that you'll never use again? I hate waste, so it appealed to me, to have just the exact right amount of ingredients needed for each recipe), and, bonus for me, this turned out to be SUCH a positive bonding experience for my adult daughter and me, choosing our weekly FP meals and cooking them together. We have been so impressed how this company minimizes waste, simply by reusing the majority of containers and ice packs. We've been so impressed with the selection of meals each week and the quality of ingredients and the straightforwardness of directions. And it's kinda become a joke, how every night we've had a FP meal, we look at each other and say "THIS one is my favorite!". lol. (I'm not kidding, they've all been excellent). Yes, the prices have increased once in the few years I've subscribed (minimally, but it does make a difference), and they've recently instituted a delivery fee ($4.99). So that stings a bit. But they have a reward program that offsets the costs a bit, and for my daughter and me, the advantages of subscribing offset the disadvantages. We stopped our subscription for a while and we really missed it. We REALLY missed it. So I re-subscribed and I haven't looked back. I have friends who've subscribed to other meal prep services and they all agree, FP is by far the best. I also must say something about their customer service: the few times I've called with an issue, they were ALL over it, immediately. That alone blew me away, too, how receptive they were and how quickly they resolved the few issues that arose. Oh, and their delivery people are the nicest, too. If only all companies operated like this one. I honestly can't think of a negative thing to say.

After carefully researching all of the meal prep and delivery services in the area I settled on…read moreFuud because (a) the meals looked the most delicious and (b) the ingredients are all local. After a month of Fuud deliveries, I can say the experience has been positive overall. The ingredients for the recipes come in separate kits, but you have to do your own chopping. We have really enjoyed all but one of the meals we received, and the recipes feel very well thought out. It has definitely made dinner time more exciting (chicken cacciatore, madras lamb, banh mi bowls - yum!), and gotten us out of our repetitive dinner rut. The portions are very large - we have the couples plan but one dinner usually works out to be dinner and then lunch for two again the next day. So even though it's probably the priciest meal delivery service on the market, we feel like we're saving money by not having to buy stuff for lunches anymore. There has been the occasional hiccup with the online ordering system, but it has always been resolved quickly. My only real complaint is that we've found the timing to be way off for some of the recipes (i.e., prep is often quoted as taking 5 minutes but there's so many things to chop that it's more like 15, or the recipe will say to cook for a minimum of 30 minutes but preferably longer so it's actually more like 45).

I chose last Friday as my test day and they sent me; Breakfast - Breakfast sandwich with sun dried tomato tapinade served with fresh seasonal fruit - this was delicious and came with yogurt as well for the fruit which was melon and plum, yum! Looooved the sun dried tomato tapinade, it was delicious! Lunch - Fish tacos with avocado crema - so hearty! I wasn't expecting to get so full from a couple fish tacos but they hit the spot perfectly! Dinner - Orzo salad with black beans, corn, peppers, grilled chicken & feta - that feta was sooo yummy and the perfect touch on this delicious salad, I love orzo salad!

Why not just leave it to the professionals! Check out their site to see what they've got on the menu. With chicken, fish, red meat, prawns, salads, breakfast, sides, entrees and desserts, you don't have to lift a finger!

It made our afternoon park picnic a truly special occasion! There are a handful of charcuterie box places around Vancouver and I chose this one because the box looked best in show and had the best variety. The business also appears associated with a bakery so the boxes contain pastry elements that make it stand out from competitors. Our box contained sweet (chocolate covered strawberries, brownie cookies, and macaroons), savory (5 types of cheese, 4 meats), jam, honey, mustard, almonds, pistachios, walnuts, olives, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. And, crackers! (some places have an added charge for crackers). A few fresh roses and thyme made the overall box even more special. The photos are from the 2-person grazing box which was more than enough food for two hungry men. The box is loaded - they don't skimp (there were like 3-4 thick wedges of brie). When I originally bought it my husband felt the price was kinda expensive ... but after eating our way through it, we feel it was a deal. The variety, quantity, quality would be hard to replicate for the same price. Dip & Sip doesn't have a storefront at the moment but you can order online and pick up from a commercial address on Robson. They had it ready on time and brought it out promptly.

I'm absolutely obsessed with their prosciutto wrapped pickled asparagus that they have in the sweet and savoury box, luckily they sell them separately too so I would definitely suggest added more of those! Their hummus dips are freaken awesome too, I'm obsessed with the Beet Horseradish and the Mango Curry. They are mouth watering and the perfect addition to any box! The cocktail mixes are so fun. They make their mix and the garnishes in house, so they actually make those dehydrated citrus wheels themselves!
