Tired of Cooking, Looking for Delivery of Prepared Meals

[Anonymous]

Lately, I’ve been so burnt out that I’m too tired to cook. Any recommendations for reasonable prepared meals delivered to MoCo households?

Following. During the early days of COVID a few caterers offered dinner menus, it was great, ordered dinners for at least 2 days. I like cooking very much, but need a break. We luv to eat too.

Anyone? I would love to have a setup like this.

So you want a service that exists (restaurant meals) just at a lower price? Ah.

There was a thread awhile back, but it wasn't cheap.

We ordered from these guys on and off for a while
They're good. I like the menu choices. And the prices are pretty reasonable, considering.

Vegetable + butcher is very good for this.

They are vegetarian-based but you can order them with a meat as well. Lots of salads, almost-stews. I would say the food ranges from perfectly fine to very good.

The meals come fully cooked, at most you need to microwave them a couple of minutes, and they will take back the containers and compost them as well.

I think foodhini expanded their delivery zone recently-- they are ethnic food from recent immigrants.

For how many people? If it is just for 1 or 2 people then you might want to look at buying a bunch of sous vide entrees from places like The Fresh Market or Balducci's or even Costco or Safeway/Giant. That's what we buy for one of my aunts.

She doesn't want to cook but she wants a nice entree. She heats up the entree, prepares a salad, and she's done. She has a really nice rotation going that basically gets her through 2 weeks or so.

We looked at full meal prep services but it tends to be very all or none types of things, and some of the entrees were well-outside of what she likes to eat, which is weird because she is quite well-traveled and has a very wide and sophisticated palate. She wants regular foods that are done well. The sous vide items that we've found have been that.

Totally unnecessary.

I had the same thought - as the first poster. It does seem like a dumb post.

Plus 1 -- these are good if you don't want to cook. And healthy.

Not necessarily --- pre-prepped meals usually come cold and need to be re-heated (and you get more than one dinner usually - l used to order 3 nights of dinners). Restaurant meals come hot and usually aren't great re-heated. The OP is not talking about restaurant meals. Closer to something home-cooked and re-heatable.

Check out mighty meals -- this is what she is talking about.

I know they go at least to Silver Spring - not sure how far north in 'MoCo' you are.
