After a year of trying to come up with recipes, my wife and I have become largely burned out. We’ve perused through our old cookbooks, bought a couple of new ones and added a couple of new cooking devices to our collection. Coming up with inspiration is tough, not to mention coming up with something that everyone in our family will eat. So we’ve turned to an online meal kit plan that sends the ingredients for four meals to our house every week – there’s no guesswork, no shopping. We pull out a bag from the fridge, and everything we need is right there.
The protein for these meals are packaged separately. The chicken? Raised without antibiotics, the label states. The beef? Grass-fed. The meals themselves are pretty excellent, too. I am by no means a chef, but I can mostly follow a recipe and have it turn out right. If home chefs are pleased by the meals that they make with their antibiotic-free chicken and grass-fed beef, the more likely they are to look for that specific meat when they’re shopping on their own.
