Over the past several months, I have been trying all of the meal delivery services out there. One of them, however, really stands out in terms of simplicity and EASY, QUICK cooking. Every one of their recipes was on the table within 15 minutes, most of them made with one hand with the other holding a clingy baby. If you are short on time, or maybe lack in skills in the cooking department, WOW is this a good one for you to try! Their meals were also well balanced, and delicious, which is an oh-so-important factor for me! They even threw in a couple of cookies too as a “thank you” for trying their product, which was super nice. Here’s what they sent in my box:
Pan Roasted Mahi Mahi
I have always heard of Mahi Mahi, but we have never tried it as we are not a seafood family. This one was delicious, and the tomato chutney had me licking the plate (LITERALLY). The chutney was already made and just had to be heated and plated. The rice was in a vacuum pouch that also just needed to be heated and seasoned. The Swiss chard was already cleaned and chopped, so I just had to cook the fish (under 5 minutes), cook the chard, and throw everything on a plate. Under 10 minutes for a gourmet fish meal, and it was really good.
Chicken & Vegetable Tamari Stir Fry
This stir fry came with a Ginger Garlic Confit, which was absolutely incredible; I wish I had a recipe for this to just throw in all of my cooking! The tamari stir fry sauce added so much flavor, and there were a ton of assorted veggies. The chicken was already sliced up, so this was just thrown in the pan, and ready to go, with a lot of deliciousness. Since the chicken was already chopped, I didn’t have to touch it, which means no sanitizing and cleaning; also very useful for the one handed cooking on this night.
Swedish Meatballs With Herbed Spaetzle
OK, so I saved the best one for last. The meatballs were already formed, and they had an amazing nutmeg-cream sauce. The spaetzle was like a mashed potato-kinda-pasta that worked perfectly with the creamy gravy. Hubby’s favorite part of this entire box, however, was the carrots with a maple butter glaze. These were so different than anything I have ever made; very sweet and decadent.
Overall I would have liked more fresh items (fresh herbs, veggies, etc), but everything was so easy and already prepped, and incredibly fast. Especially on nights that dinner just isn’t going to happen, which happens a lot more than I would like to admit, a service like this is super helpful to defend your family against having pizza delivered – again. I would highly recommend trying out the service, especially with their introductory offer! Right now, they are offering $30 off your first box , meaning 3 meals free (cheaper and faster than the drive through, and so much better)!!!
