Why You Should Green Zebra Kitchen Over For Dinner

07/29/2013

I am not a good cook.

There, I’ve admitted it.  Sure, I have a few key dishes that I rely on, but cooking has never been a passion, especially since having a baby.  I really want to prepare healthy meals for my family but our busy schedules always seem to get in the way.  We eat a ton of fruits and vegetables (thanks to local farmers markets like the ones I mention here) but in terms of cooking healthy meals, I’m afraid it doesn’t happen as often as I’d like.

That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered Green Zebra Kitchen.  It’s a weekly service that delivers healthy vegetarian meals made with organic whole foods right to your doorstep.  They use local and seasonal produce, their meals are gluten-free, and they don’t use any animal products.  The meals change weekly and provide you with a variety of health benefits as well as a diversity of color, taste and texture to liven up your palette. They also provide a refreshing take on traditional foods from around the world.  They have two price options to choose from:  $115 for 6-8 meals or $60 for 3-4 meals.  It’s perfect for a busy family like mine, as I know that we always have a healthy option to reach for in our fridge.

The food arrives on your doorstep in a cooler bag.

You’ll get 3 entrees, 3 salads and a dessert.

After trying delicious dishes like Vegetable Biryani w/ Coconut Curried Tofu, Mango, Cilantro and Spicy Cashews or Burnt Eggplant, Tomato, and Red Lentil Stew w/ Roasted Cauliflower and Mint I have a discovered a love of ingredients I never would have thought to cook for myself like tofu, lentils and eggplant.

I’ll also let you in on a little secret; I have been deceiving my family a little bit.  My son’s favourite dishes have been the Thai Red Curry with Cauliflower, Tofu, Chickpeas and Lime Leaves (I told him it was chicken!) and the Polenta Chili Casserole with Garlic Scapes, Asparagus, Basil, and Pickled Onions (I told him it was scrambled eggs!)
