Top Ways To Make Mealtime Easier – Mommy Connections Fave 5!

06/03/2014

Do you love to eat, but find cooking a chore?! Here are my five favourite ways to save time in the kitchen and make your mealtime easy!

Front Door Organics1.  Do you find yourself eating the same fruits and vegetables every week? And are they usually only the ones that your child likes? Break out from your boring carrot and grape routine and have a fresh basket of local organic produce delivered to your door every week! At Front Door Organics you can select from a Basic Fresh Box ($37) or Custom Fresh Box ($42), and set your delivery frequency for whatever time frame suits you best – no commitment required! Tons of other Organic groceries are available to add on. I love their Custom Fresh Box because of it’s flexibility. Simply log on to their website and cross out the items you’d rather not receive (sorry kale, I will never be a fan of yours) The website then tells you how much credit you have accumulated from your cancelled items and you can select the fruits and veggies that your family loves (more asparagus please!) Leaders in the industry, Front Door Organics has been delivering produce to Toronto residents since 1997. Not sure what to do with Fiddleheads or Sorrel? Then check out their recipe section!

SupperWorks Logo2.  I was first introduced to SupperWorks when my Bestie threw me a Baby Shower there (brilliant idea by the way!) SupperWorks creates delicious monthly recipes, does the shopping, the washing, the chopping and the clean up so you can prepare tasty, wholesome meals without the time, without the hassle and without the mess! Visit their store and in less than 2 hours you can prepare up to 12 freezable family-sized entrées, each serving 4-6 people. Pop them in your freezer and then when you’re ready to enjoy them just thaw and cook according to the directions provided with every meal. Join us at our monthly Mommy Connections cooking parties where you can enjoy discounted prices, reduced order minimums, and a delicious glass of wine while mingling with your fellow moms. Plus, check out their Summer Fun package where you can pick up everything you need to host a fantastic BBQ – perfect for Father’s Day, Cottage Weekends, or impressing your neighbours. Mention Mommy Connections when you order your Summer Fun Package and save $10!

GreenZebra Mommy Connections3.  Are you getting your 5-10 fruits and vegetable servings per day? You don’t need to be vegetarian to enjoy Green Zebra Kitchen – you just need to love amazing tasting food! Getting your extra veggie servings is just an added bonus!  Green Zebra Kitchen is a weekly service that delivers freshly prepared 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.  They have two price options to choose from:  $119 for 6-8 meals or $62 for 3-4 meals.  There are no commitments – you can order whenever you want and their menu is incredibly flexible. Don’t like one of the entrees on the menu? You can easily substitute it for another dish. Don’t forget to check out their healthier for you snack line which includes Almond Butter Raspberry Balls, Cacao-Pumpkin Seed Butter Balls, Granola Bars and the slightly more indulgent Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups (yes please!!).  It’s perfect for a busy family like mine, as I know that we always have a healthy ready-to-eat option to reach for in our fridge.  Win a free delivery via our Mommy Connections Contest!

mealspirations_logo4.  Do you love to cook, but find it tough to find the time and inspiration?  Mealspirations delivers healthy, chef-developed recipes and the high quality fresh ingredients
 to prepare them at home. They take care of the meal planning and shopping while you do the fun part – cooking! Each week their chef creates 3 delicious recipes, and all of the fresh ingredients and recipe cards arrive on your door step Sunday evening.  You get 3 meals for 2 people for $78, or 3 meals for 4 people for $144.  I love this service because for novices like me it inspires you to enjoy cooking again, and discover the individual ingredients that make up a great tasting dish. It’s also the perfect solution for those of you who are housebound with napping babies – no need to wake a sleeping baby just to go to the grocery store!

Sprout Right Logo5.  Do you have a pint sized food critic? Navigating a picky eater menu can be frustrating and draining. If you find yourself consistently making multiple meals for your family then Sprout Right can help. Browse her book full of healthy recipes and tips, order her meal plans, or join us at our upcoming workshop on June 14th!  We’ll discuss things like:  How much food does your child need to eat every day? How do you expand the palate from three key foods? What if your child refuses to eat? What are some healthy meal ideas for the whole family?
