  • Holiday Meals Made Easy With Green Chef

    Holiday Meals Made Easy With Green Chef

    Dinnertime is always hectic around my house — especially during the holidays when there is SO much going on! This year, we’re partnering with Green Chef, a healthy meal kit delivery service, to help make dinner fun, easy, and as stress-free as possible! Make sure to check the bottom of this post for an AMAZING deal that would even make a great last-minute Christmas gift!

    THE BASICS

    Green Chef offers several different healthy options for a variety of diets: Paleo (free of gluten, dairy, grain, and soy), Keto (low-carb, gluten-free), Balanced Living (meat, seafood, and vegetarian), Plant-Powered (vegetarian / vegan), and Family (meat, seafood, and veggie options.)

    I got the Family Plan — the perfect portions for four people! Since it’s just myself and the little ones, I knew I’d have plenty for leftovers which is a HUGE help during the busy holidays!

    There is no long-term commitment with Green Chef. You can freeze your plan at any time, so if you’re on vacation or have a busy week of dinner plans ahead, just log in and skip a week.

    Nearly every ingredient that you need to cook the food is included in the box (except kitchen staples like salt, pepper, cooking oil, etc.) and because it arrives in protective packaging, you can trust that your items are arriving to your doorstep safely with no hectic grocery store trips required!

    THE MEALS

    Green Chef is a USDA certified organic company, so you can expect fresh, healthy ingredients in each box — free of GMOs, toxic pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. Whew!

    This week, my box included two meals: “Homestyle Meatloaf & Gravy” and “Pork with Cherry BBQ Sauce”. Both took about 30 min to cook and were delicious!! I was especially impressed with the meatloaf & gravy, because I’ve never actually made meatloaf before. I loved the kale salad that came with the pork meal, and that says a lot because I rarely eat kale!

    The recipes are very easy to follow (even for novice cooks like myself) and the cards come with step by step photos for reference too! Here are a few photos we captured while making dinner one night — enjoy!

    THE DEAL

    I’m excited to partner with Green Chef to offer you $80 OFF + FREE SHIPPING! All you do is visit Green Chef here and sign up! This would make a fantastic gift for anyone (or yourself!) this holiday season or just because — and we know those New Year’s resolutions are just around the corner! 🙂

    Give Green Chef a try and let me know your feedback. Happy eating!

    XOXO,

    Keli

  • What’s For Dinner? Green Chef!

    What’s For Dinner? Green Chef!

    Braeden enjoying the Grilled Chicken Skewers with Tahini meal from Green Chef
    Braeden loved the Green Chef Grilled Chicken Skewers with Tahini meal as much as I did! Eating off of skewers was a fun change of pace for him!

    It’s the question I dread most nights every week: what’s for dinner?? Between juggling my new life as a single mom with two little boys, my round-the-clock work demands, searching for a new home, and swinging at life’s daily curve balls, planning out a dinner menu or creating delicious meals for myself and my boys has fallen WAY down the priority list. Thankfully, I discovered and am partnering with Green Chef — a meal delivery service that is LITERALLY making dinner great again in my house!

    Getting kids in on the action is always a win!

    THE PROCESS

    I am thrilled to partner with Green Chef, in part, because it offers SO many options for SO many eating styles. Whether you’re keto, pescatarian, vegetarian, meat-only, gluten-free, or just a regular ol omnivore, Green Chef makes dinner a piece of cake (wait, make that a ‘cheesy pasta’) and truly DELIVERS something for everyone — right to your doorstep!

    I selected the Omnivore plan because I don’t currently have any dietary restrictions and felt that plan might resonate with most of you. The box arrived on my doorstep right on time, full of all the ingredients I needed to make two different meals. You can select from the 2-person or 4-person plans. I picked the 4-person because I wanted to have extras (you basically double the recipe, but also have the flexibility to cook ‘half’ now, half later and I tested both options.)

    This is how you know a meal is delicious — when the baby can’t keep his hands off your plate!

    With Green Chef, you can easily change up the day your delivery arrives or pause for weeks at a time to accommodate your schedule. You’ll find yourself excited to see what’s on this week’s menu, and getting into a groove of cooking healthy, exciting meals is great for you and your family. I feel like it will allow me to put dinner on auto-pilot, letting someone else do the hard work of picking meals and buying ingredients, so all I have to do is have fun making the meal and enjoy eating it!

    Green Chef meal - Chicken Skewers with Tahini
    Green Chef’s recipe cards make it so easy to cook delicious, healthy meals.

    THE COOKING

    Green Chef sent me Grilled Chicken Skewers with Tahini and Southwest Cheesy Pasta — both were HUGE hits! I opted to cook the pasta dish first because it was a cool, rainy night. All of the ingredients arrived in the perfect portion sizes, so there’s minimal assembly required (cutting up vegetables is usually the most time-consuming part.) The recipe card provides easy-to-understand directions that don’t require much cooking experience, and the ingredients are so fresh and flavorful that you don’t have to go off-menu to jazz up a dish. Just follow the step-by-step instructions!

    Both nights I was able to cook the meals within 45 minutes. It takes me a little longer juggling the two kids, but with my 3 year old’s assistance (Breden was a fan of tearing the chard for the pasta dish and the kale for the chicken skewers meal!) we knocked it out relatively quickly!

    Cooking the Southwest Cheesy Pasta
    Hard at work (after a LONG day!) cooking the Southwest Cheesy Pasta meal. So delicious!

    THE RESULTS

    I loved the pasta dish, but MAN the Chicken Skewers were out of this world! I’m still eating the quinoa days later, I devoured the kale salad (literally the first time I’ve ever loved kale!!) and am considering asking Green Chef if they’ll sell me the dill tahini dressing by the bottle! LOL

    The cheesy pasta was flavorful and filling, and I loved that I could sneak some extra veggies into Braeden’s dinner. I’d happily eat both meals again AND there was plenty to go around + leftovers that I could use for Braeden’s lunch — another major win!

    They say your goal should be to have a ‘colorful plate’ — mission accomplished!

    THE DEAL

    I HIGHLY recommend Green Chef to help you make dinner easier, more healthy, and less stressful for everyone, so I’ve partnered with Green Chef to offer you $75 off your first three orders!! Just click HERE to get started and be sure to let send me a photo or video on Instagram when you’re making your first meal so I can re-share your stories! Happy cooking, yall! 🙂

    XOXO,
