As a mom of three and having a family of five, there is little time left to make meal plans. Every single week I would sit down and review Pinterest to find different dinner options for our family. Do you ever sit back and think about the time it takes to meal plan, put together a grocery list, do the actual act of shopping, put the groceries into the car and then unload them at home? I am exhausted just thinking about it. A few years we decided to pay the extra fee of having groceries either delivered to our car or dropped off at home. Recently, we went a little bit further and started using EveryPlate to have meal plans delivered right to our doorstep.
Everyplate is a weekly meal service that you can order. You can also choose how many people you would like to feed, omit any allergens and what your likes or dislikes are. When the box was delivered, my kids could not wait to help me open it. Inside was three meals for the week: Chicken Sausage Orzo Pilaf, Hotel Butter Steak and Spicy Honey Butter Chicken. Our absolute favorite was the Chicken Sausage Orzo Pilaf, but I can assure you that there wasn’t any leftovers from any of the meals. They were that delicious! The other bonus is that I didn’t have to stress over what we would be eating for the week. I can’t even tell you how many family discussions have been around “What do you want to eat”. Who is with me in saying that it is such a relief to have someone else make the decision?
With every meal, I had my kids at the counter with me cooking dinner. They absolutely love helping me cook in the kitchen and it is a great time for us to do something together. Hint: My kids actually eat more when they have helped cook the meal. For whatever reason, it works.
To sum up, here are a few reasons why my family loves EveryPlate:
Convenience: The meals are delivered right to your doorstep and they include all the ingredients you will need.
Time: Not only does it take less then thirty minutes to make the meal, but it relieves me of having to got to the grocery store and meal planning every week.
Taste: The meals are incredibly delicious. Hands down these meals carry some wonderful flavor!
Availability: Unlike some other meal kits that I have tried, you can actually recreate the meals at home again. The ingredients are available at your local super market. Some other meal kits that I have tried contain ingredients that are unavailable at your average store.
Affordable: The meals usually cost $4.99, which is a cup of coffee, but if you use my coupon code LIVINGWITHAMANDA30 you will get 6 free EveryPlate meals so you can get 18 meals for just $3.33!! Or click here to be taken to the EveryPlate website so you can get your meals shipped straight to your door, too!
