I have been reluctant to try meals that are delivered in a box with all the ingredients one needs to make dinner. But when I discovered Martha & Marley Spoon I decided to give it a try. I am not disappointed. The meats are from grass-fed animals and all the ingredients are organic. The amount of each ingredient is just what is needed and there is no waste. The packaging is recyclable, and did I mention delivery is free.
Marley Spoon is a good place to shop for good tasting meals with flexible subscription options. They offer clients the option of selecting from its list of new recipes weekly, which is a better option compared to standard meal delivery services which come with limited meal options. Overall, one of the best meal delivery services that offer a good mix of recipes at competitive prices. (https://www.consumersadvocate.org/meal-delivery/c/marley-spoon-review)
I opt for the 2 person 2 dinners. I have found though that I can get three meals instead of two for each of the dinners. And I can freeze the extra dinner for a later time. There are new recipes each week and the choices are interesting ones with different flavors depending on the seasonings.
On a recent dinner, Chicken Schnitzel Potatoes and Red Cabbage, I figured what the ingredients would have cost me at the grocery for two dinners. The total cost would have been $14.00 plus $5.00 if I had ordered on line and picked them up at Harris Teeter. Since I get three meals out of what is supposed to serve two, the cost would have been $6.50 per meal whereas the cost for the three meals by Marley Spoon was $8.00 per meal. I'm willing to pay the extra cost for a few dinners now and then because the recipes by Martha Stewart are ones that I probably wouldn't be trying on my own.
I recently had the Cheesy Ravioli and the Chick Pea Red Pepper Soup. I'll be reordering the soup. It has been one of my favorites.

I can skip weeks whenever I want, and I can pick from a wide variety of recipes. And preparation is a snap because all the ingredients are measured out and there is a step by step instruction of how to prepare the meal. Anyone can prepare a gourmet dinner this way. Let's see, for dinner tonight I will be having French Onion Grilled Cheese with Caper Tarragon Green Beans.
