Let’s be honest, figuring out what ingredients to buy or what to cook can feel overwhelming at times. If you’ve had a long day or week, the idea of having to put your best Bon Appetit impression to make a meal is a lot to handle. However, no one wants to live off smoothies and takeout alone. Thankfully, there are a few local meal subscription and dinner kits that are here to help. We’ve rounded up some selections who deliver around the country, and it makes a great gift for a loved one.
Daily Dish
According to the official website, Daily Dish is a dinner box company. They offer weekly, pre-portioned dinner boxes delivered to your door, in order to help you conveniently cook fresh, easy weekday dishes for your family, while limiting waste and maximizing nutrition.
