I found Chef Debbie from a Facebook recommendation and gave her a try -- now we order two meals and…read moresalads from her almost every week! Her food is healthy, but not so healthy it's not delicious, well-portioned, so fresh, and more importantly it's SO CONVENIENT!
This isn't an online ordering anytime service - she has curated menus every week which she can tailor to, or even prepare for, your family! She starts with a consultation to understand your needs and present her philosophy. Then you place your order Monday, and it appears on your doorstep the following Sunday.
On top of the convenience (the food appears clearly labeled and conveniently packaged up in compostable containers) what I love is that it's gourmet, freshly prepared, local, seasonal, and often organic food! It's what I want to put in my and my kids bodies so I feel my best, but I don't have any time to cook it myself. It really satisfies my need for variety, without having to spend tons on takeout every week.
Some highlights include her Tajin Steak tacos with Mango Salsa, her Moroccan Lemon Chicken with rice pilaf, and she has an excellent kampachi fish on her build-your-own menu that I haven't had anywhere else. Get it with the red pepper sauce! Unlike meal kits like Blue Apron where it was never quite enough food, and of course you have to cook it, her portions have been on point! You just tell her how many people you're feeding, how many kids, and she seems to always get it right!
Finally, you can order as much or as little as you want. She has hearty salads that change every week; juices; a la carte proteins, starches, and veggies; and breakfasts and desserts! Just order how much your family needs each week, or better yet, let her do it!
It's not a budget option, but when you calculate the mental time you save, the quality ingredients, and then compare it to a DoorDash takeout delivery with delivery fees for the variety she provides - it's a great value and better food, without waiting!
