Omg - how did I live without these before??? I think I may have tried Fresh Direct once many years ago, and then finding it a bit expensive and realizing I almost never ate at home, I quickly abandoned it. After spending the past year in a tiny apartment with no working oven, I thought there was nothing I could do except do takeout. EVERY NIGHT. Which is not only expensive, but oh so bad for you.
Maybe that's why I gained 10 pounds last year!
Anyhow...onto Fresh Direct. These 4 minute meals are awesome! Think of it like a fresh version of a tv dinner. All you need is a refrigerator to store, and a microwave to heat. You don't even need a plate! What's amazing is that the ingredients are all fresh - no preservatives, and they cook in the microwave right before your eyes. I mean - the shrimp goes into the microwave raw, and comes out perfectly cooked.
I'm talking shrimp, lamb, beef - restaurant quality. Prices per meal range from $6.99-$12.99 depending on what you choose. Choose from dishes by Tabla, Terrance Brennan, Rosa Mexicano...
Seriously - I place my order for every Sunday night, and I have my meals for 2-3 days a week (I leave one weekday to go out, and obviously my weekends are for exploring!)
Takes the pressure off figuring out what you're gonna eat every night.
I know, I know...I should cook more - but until then - these will have to do it!
Some disclosure - the meals are on the small side (but hey - maybe it's good to have some portion control). Also - don't order en masse....they only stay good for 3-4 days. Hence, they are FRESH!
