Was meal planning part of your New Year’s #goal? Yep, us, too. We know how it is: you start off strong on January 1 – amazing grocery store list, meal prep Sunday, healthy choices. But, then January 5 hits, the kids are back to school and activities, you’re back to work, and all hope of a meal plan vanishes as you wait in the endless Chick fil A drive-thru line.
Here’s a Smarty tip: Life doesn’t have to be a Combo #1.
Enter Simply Fresh to You. We’ve mentioned them before, but it’s time we mention them again. They are our go-to meal delivery service for so many reasons:
1. They’re local. Owners Marc & Patti Liersaph, who have a combined 50+ years of experience in the restaurant/food distribution industry, have really found a niche and at an affordable cost. It’s the ultimate #shoplocal.
2. It’s convenient. You may have seen the white Simply Fresh to You delivery trucks around town! Simply Fresh to You boasts an Exclusive Delivery System – there is no need to be home and it is guaranteed to be delivered safe and fresh (see www.simplyfreshtoyou.com for details).
3. It’s super simple. This isn’t one of those nationwide places that sends you a bunch of ingredients in a big brown box for you to figure out at 6 PM on a Tuesday. Most meals require 10 minutes or less to prepare. All meals come in individual containers ready to cook with specific instructions. There’s no chopping, peeling, or butternut-squash-dicing. There’s also less waste – the containers can be reused or recycled, and the cooler can be set out for pick up the next week.
4. It’s healthy and delicious. Some of our favorite entrees include salmon w/honey shallot mustard vinaigrette and garlic mustard glazed beef tenderloin skewer. They’re baked goods are amazing (snickerdoodle cookies – swoon!), and they also have really good kids entrees and the best homemade salad dressing ever – their balsamic vinegarette will make you cry it’s so good. You can make the meals as healthy as you want – they offer organic meats, whole wheat pasta, you can choose not to eat the sauces, etc.
5. It’s affordable. You’ll end up saving money when you’re not in the grocery store 3-4 times a week or sitting in the drive-thru AGAIN.
So, how do you get this amazingness delivered to your door? Sign up for their weekly newsletters. Every Thursday you’ll get the next week’s menu emailed to your Inbox. The menu changes weekly, but one thing doesn’t: all orders MUST be placed by the Friday prior to the week of delivery by 4 PM.
