A few posts back, I had talked about cooking during COVID. That post was about finding quick and easy ways to make a meal that is delicious and filling along with the ability to keep foods handy in your pantry. But since we have been home for quite a while now, I have been hearing stories of people who are gaining the COVID 15. It's like the Freshman 15 from college, only instead of eating everything in sight on and off campus, you are cleaning out
the refrigerator and pantry. Not to mention keeping Grub Hub and Door Dash busy! Time to make some changes that will be kinder to your body and your budget along with keeping it tasty as well. Let's get started!
First, step away from the phone and close the fridge! You can do it! There you go. Good job! Ok, second, be willing to do just a little prep work. I know, I know! Who wants to cook, especially now that we are going into the summer season. It will be too hot! Not to worry! These meals can be done in the slow cooker, grill and or oven. So no sweating over a hot stove! Third, full disclosure, the meals you will be seeing are by Tastefully Simple. Why? Because TS Meal kits are more economical in comparison to the other meal kits out there and they are are more versatile, which is why I love them!
Ok, now that we have gotten that out of the way, let's start with a meal kit that promotes the current nutritional food craze right now, Keto. Yes, that's right, TS has a Keto meal kit! Pretty cool, right? This meal kit is lower-carb, higher-protein, and has flavor-packed recipes sure to please. A great option supporting a keto lifestyle. And each recipe serves 6. I have made these and I have to say, they are good! I made them for myself as freezer meals, so I have meals for weeks!
Known for it's heart healthy focus, Mediterranean meals with it's fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and olive oil, can be enjoyed without feeling like you are missing out on anything. Check out what delicious meals you can make with this yummy food kit!
Have allergies? Specialized diet? No worries! TS has you covered. Simple, savory and delicious, you won't feel like you are missing out on anything at all! Which one will you try first? Garlicky Steak & Mushrooms or Seared Salmon over Spaghetti Squash? Hmm, decisions, decisions.....
Last but certainly not least is the 14 Day Reset. This meal kit is for when you want to make some serious changes and keep on track for more than just a day or two. Designed by a registered dietitian, this meal kit has clean label products and a group that will help support you and keep you on track. I've done this reset and I'm here to tell ya, it works! And I was not hungry or craving food. Plus, I knew what I was going to eat so no looking in the pantry or opening the fridge trying to figure out what to eat or making a fast food run. Moreover, if there was a recipe that had something that I did not like in it, I could swap it out. I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I switched it up with peppers. So, yeah, you can customize your meals.
So what do you think? Ready to start eating right and dare I say enjoying every delicious mouthful? And as always, reach out to me me with any questions, either here or leave a comment on this post. Till next time!
