In the musical play, “The Music Man,” there is a rousing number where the citizens of the small town of River City sing in excited anticipation of the arrival of their mail order deliveries via the “Wells Fargo Wagon.” Call me crazy, but I feel a similar thrill when the mail truck drops off a Tastefully Simple meal kit.
It’s just plain fun to open the shipping box and pull out all the bottles of sauce and shaker jars of seasonings and packets of baking mixes. And then to sit down with a mug of TS Whipped Coffee and a cookie and review the full-color brochure with mouth-watering photos of the dishes, recipes and grocery lists and nutritional info.
Even better than the excitement of stocking the pantry with delicious Tastefully Simple products, I love the whole concept of this style of meal kit. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- No strings attached ordering. Browse the meal and entertaining kit offerings on tastefullysimple.com anytime and place an order with your consultant directly or through their website. There are currently 10- and 5-meal options that change seasonally, so there’s always something fresh to try.
- Meal-planning must-have. If you’ve joined the meal prep wave, meal kits are an indispensable planning tool. The menus include lots of make-ahead-and-freeze options. Since I’m cooking for one, I make a six-serving recipe and divide it into individual portions for the freezer.
- No pressure to prepare. Unlike other meal kit companies, Tastefully Simple’s kits only include shelf-stable products. As they say, “You add the fresh, we add the flavor!” There’s no timeline to prepare the meals as there are with kits that include meats and produce. Decide when you want to have the meals, and pick up any needed fresh ingredients at your convenience.
- Flexibility is built in. Because you add the fresh, you can change up the recipes to suit your preferences (subbing chicken for pork, for instance) and take advantage of your local store’s specials.
- Set up for success. I don’t know about you, but I’m no chef. It’s fun to experiment sometimes, but who has time to fuss with complicated recipes and unfamiliar ingredients. Tastefully Simple kits are just that: simple to make and family-friendly flavorful.
- Cost effective. Even with the volatility of grocery prices these days, home-cooked is almost always less expensive than eating out. Even fast food prices are higher these days … and who wants to waste gas money sitting in a drive-thru lane?
- Good and plenty. As noted above, kits are designed with families in mind, with recipes serving 6. Feeding a smaller crowd? Leftover and freezer meals make Tastefully Simple meal kits an even better value.
- Eat Well and Wholesome. Did you know that more than 85% of Tastefully Simple products are labeled “TS EatWell?” That means they are free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, hydrogenated fats and MSG. That’s food that tastes good and that you can feel good about.
