So it’s clearly no secret that I love to cook, but during the week it can get reallyexhausting planning out healthy meals each night after a long day at work. Not only do you have to decide on what exactly you want to make, but by the time you’ve made your list, gone to the store, come home only to first prep and chop everything, it’s 9:00 PM by the time you actually get to eat dinner! To some this may sound silly, but to others this truly is their reality especially those of us with long commutes or kids to pick up. That’s why I was so excited when Terra’s Kitchen reached out to me about reviewing their farm-to-front door meal-kit delivery service!
If you follow me on SnapChat then you probably remember my recent videos showing exactly how this service works. I don’t usually do too many reviews on my blog, but I was extremely impressed by the use of freshseasonalingredients (yes REAL food people!), how everything comes pre-packaged, prepped and ready to use in their eco-friendly delivery vessel and how all the recipes only take about 30 minutes or less! So as you can imagine I was excited to try out a few of their recipes.
My delivery vessel, which is basically the cutest little fridge you ever did see with pull out drawers, came right to my door step as expected and had all the ingredients includedinside. The box stayed super cold keeping everything really fresh which is super convenientfor those of us who might not be able to get to our boxes until after we get home in the evenings. I also loved how each container included a number on the label which was associated with the number on the recipe card so that you knew exactly which ingredients went with which dish. As you can see everything was extremely organized, portioned out and pre-chopped to save you tons of time in the kitchen!
When you’re done with your Eco-friendly vessel, you simply just put it back out on your door step and they pick it up the next dayto be re-used for another delivery! Sooo easy, zero hassle and completely environmentally friendly. The recipes I chose to make were the KeenWOW Bowl and the Sweet Potato Tacos (which looked crazy delicious), but as you can see from their menu, Terra’s Kitchen has tons of healthy recipe options including vegetarian, gluten-free and paleo dishes. Something for everyone!
Each recipe also includes step-by-step instructions along with the nutritional information, the total amount of time it takes to cook the dish (30 minutes or less!), fun tips and tricks and even beer/wine pairings! Yes they totally get me. The recipe cards also include helpful instructional photos which makes cooking everything super easy! Another cool thing I want to note is that if you happen to misplace one of the recipecards, just go to their website and you’ll find that each dish includes a PDF version that can easily be downloaded.
All the dishes were uniquely designed by chef and cookbook author Libbie Summers who is Head of Culinary Direction at Terra’s Kitchen – I mean she definitely knows her stuff! She has created so many delicious family-friendly recipes that truly are easy to make using fresh ingredients with the same quality you would find at your local grocery store or market.
The menu also rotates by season ensuring that not only are the best ingredients being used, but you’ll always have new healthy recipes to try! I can’t tell you how impressed I am with how passionate Terra’s Kitchen is about the environment and how all the ingredients are nutrient dense, plant strong and are of the highest quality without any added preservatives. I mean even the containers are reusable! These are recipes that you canfeel good about making for your family and they also make perfect meal prep options!
Ok so first let’s talk about this Keen-WOW Salad. Um let me just say that wow is right!
Not only was this salad super colorful and gorgeous all tossed together in the bowl (yes this is important because I love finding new recipes that will impresslarge gatherings), but this sweet and spicy dressing was incredible! We’re talking lime juice + zest, honey, red wine vinegar, and minced jalapenos – yummm. Then just throw in some freshly made pico de gallo, a little cilantro, top with avocado and BOOM the most delicious (and EASY) quinoa salad you’ve ever tasted.
Just a side note, I actually loved their fresh pico de gallo SO much that I reserved some of it to make with my omelets in the morning. I would legit order from Terra’s Kitchen weekly just for that pico!
Luckily for me I happen to love more than just the pico so it’s a total win-win.
Next I made us the Sweet Potato Tacos which surprisingly turned out to be my hubby’s favorite! You’d never know that this meat-loving taco fanatic would enjoy vegetarian tacos this much, but I guess the flavors were justthat good!
Yep and there’s that pico again…..SWOON.
These tacos were really quick to make especially since the sweet potatoes came pre-sliced. All I had to do was dice them up, saute them with a little oil, garlic and sliced jalapenos then I just sprinkled a little cumin over top for some added flavor. Feel free to make these recipes to YOUR liking! Then I topped each tortilla with the sauteed sweet potatoes along with a little pico and sliced avocado and served us a super delicious and healthy meal! Can I just say that thiswould also make one amazing breakfast with some added scrambled eggs – I mean am I right???
Overall I was extremely impressed by this farm-to-front door delivery service and literally just signed up to use them again. I’m super excited to try their avocado lime corn soup and turkey spinach meatballs next!
