Hal and I ordered our first Munchery meal the other night. Have you tried them? They deliver gourmet restaurant-quality meals prepared by top local chefs using fresh organic ingredients in (beautifully designed) compostable packaging. Perfect for those lazy days when you're famished and would rather eat a bag of chips for dinner than slave away over a hot stove!
Unlike other meal delivery services like Blue Apron or Plated, there's no assembly required. We tried Plated a few months back, and although the meal was fabulous, it took us over an hour to make it!
Here's my Munchery experience in a nutshell. In the morning, I placed an order (white bean lasagna for me, Asian short ribs for Hal). Plenty of vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options. Both meals were under $10 each, around the same price as your average thai take-out. It arrived promptly on our doorstep at 5pm by a sweet gal who texted me before and after the delivery was made. The food came in a cute reusable tote bag with a gift hot pad, hand-written card and free cookie. Nice touch! We heated it up in the oven for 10 minutes and devoured it. Absolutely delish. Now I know exactly what gift I'll be giving my new mama friends!
This isn't even a sponsored post, guys. I just like the company and appreciate how they do business. They offset their carbon footprint by planting trees. And with every order, give a free meal to someone in need.
If you want to try them out yourself, use this link to get $10 off your first order - one free meal!
