Merry Merry: Simply Fresh to You
Simply Fresh to You (SFTY) delivers fresh made-from-scratch gourmet quality meals that are ready to finish and serve within minutes. Are you tired of meals consisting of fast food, soggy restaurant take out, poor quality supermarket meals or “meal kits” that make you do all the prep from raw ingredients plus cooking?
SFTY meals are made from scratch to order right here in Charlotte, using fresh quality ingredients without added preservatives. You receive everything to serve a fresh, delicious gourmet quality meal that you finish the cooking process and dinner is on your table within 15 minutes. You also are able to customize your meals.
Simply Fresh to You has been proudly serving the Charlotte market since 2007. Team Smarty has been using SFTY since Day 1 – We highly recommend everything, but especially Chicken Chardonnay and all of their salmon dishes. Actually, it’s all incredible, we have never ever had a bad meal! Our kids love the meals as much as we do! I’m seriously not sure what I’m going to do when my kids are adults and ask me for “my recipes”!😱

I’m a huge fan of healthy, prepped meals so this giveaway is right up my alley. As for holiday cookies, my very favorite is an almond press cookie that my grandmother used to make into decorated wreaths and Christmas tree shapes. Very similar to this recipe: https://www.food.com/recipe/almond-spritz-press-cookies-148927
My favorite holiday cookies are a simple
Spritz cookie I mammals wot a cookie press in festive shapes. It’s just butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs & flour but so good! I give them as gifts every year.
Snowball cookies ! So simple but so good !
I love good old fashioned gingerbread cookies.
My favorite Christmas cookies are the ones other people make for me 🙂
