to just give in and buy a whole bundle of Cook / Alternative Meals?

[TheLazyChef]

I'm so fed up with our shopping / eating habits.
We buy a lot of food, with the best intentions of cooking it and then just eat junk because we can't be bothered find the energy to keep to the plan. We end up with a lot of waste

Everyone has different meals, and we don't usually eat together any more, which makes me rather sad.

I've tried Gousto / HelloFresh, however it's just as much work. We tried supermarket ready meals and it's not really filling or healthy. Batch cooking didn't work either.

I just don't have it in me at the moment. We have SN DC, DH works a hard job, and enough is enough.

I want to have a nice meal at the end of the day with my family. I don't mind putting side dishes out myself.

Does anyone use Cook, or a similar set up, to help with this? Is it worth the cost?

My father relied on Wiltshire Farm Foods after DM died. I had a couple when I visited him, & found they were very good quality. I seem to remember they were also a very reasonable price.

I've seen "Parsley Box" advertised, stored at ambient temperature, but I don't know anyone who's tried them.

One of my clients tried Parsley Box and my god they were awful. Really wouldn’t recommend them unless there was absolutely no other food option!

We use Farmstand. All sous vide and utterly delicious. They are super quick - pan of water for 5 mins, pop them on a tea towel, chop the top off and serve. Plenty there, balanced. Lots of veggie and vegan options. As meat eaters we have found it’s helped us reduce the amount of meat we eat, too.
