Ever gets those days where you aimlessly wander around the grocery store and have no idea what to get to eat? Yup, that’s me. With the little ones going back to school and you hard at work, figuring out dinner can be stressful. This is where the idea of a meal kit comes in. The convenience and variety of a food preparation kid can seem very appealing. But which do you choose?

A traditional meal-kit delivery service sends you a box full of ingredients. When you sign up you pick your plan and then get your instructions and food right to your door. Then, it’s up to you to then assemble and cook those separate ingredients into a complete meal. But we know you can do it!
