If you’re stuck in an unhealthy eating pattern, you’re certainly not alone. When life gets busy, it becomes difficult to find time to prepare healthy meals. Heck, half the time I’m so hungry when I get home from work, I’ll grab the first thing I see in my fridge, and I’m proud if I bother to even put it on a plate. When there’s nothing left to eat, I resort to ordering online, but that gets really expensive…and caloric! I couldn’t seem to break the cycle, until I got a little help from what I discovered to be an awesome service.
My friend Lauren told me how much she loved HelloFresh, the meal-making delivery service that caters to busy people looking to make fresh and healthy meals without the chore work. Once I signed up, it got me to stop making excuses and start cooking delicious home cooked dinners that completely changed my life.
HelloFresh allows you to select 3 meals from their updated menu each week. They then send you prepackaged fresh ingredients delivered locally in a refrigerated box. I’m a big fish, meat and veggie eater, but they’ve got vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options each week too. One of my favorite meals was a juicy sirloin steak with red cabbage, Balsamic-Cranberry Pan Sauce and Yukon potatoes (which I learned to slice in 1-inch thick wedges to make steak fries), It came with everything – right down to the last sprig of rosemary – and even included mustard seeds to sprinkle on the red cabbage.
HelloFresh does a great job at making the whole experience enjoyable and convenient: step-by-step instructions with tons of photos, and simple recipes that turn into delicious meals with just a touch of something special I probably wouldn’t have thought to add. My HelloFresh delivery comes to my door each week with 3 meals ready to go packed in slim boxes that fit perfectly in my fridge. On top of HelloFresh’s food being health-conscious and delicious, it’s a fun cooking experience, and allows me to get a home cooked meal on the table in only 30 minutes.
It feels like I’m doing things the right way, but for once it’s actually easy. I love flipping veggies in a pan while listening to music and making the house smell like home cooking. HelloFresh has even helped me kick my snacking habit before dinner. Now, instead of snacking while waiting on a Seamless delivery, I’m in the kitchen enjoying the fun parts of cooking. The energy in my kitchen is now a lot more positive, and having the house smell like home cooking is just a wonderful feeling.
