Meal Service

Hey mamas! Struggling over here to find the time to do it all, even with partner support. Has anyone done a meal delivery service? I've only heard of Hello Fresh but I know there are others. Thoughts? Experiences? Worth the price? Looking for any way to make our lives easier!

Blue Apron is legitimately the best decision I ever made aside from like having my actual kids. It’s so much easier than trying to come up with meals every night of the week, eliminates so much stress and has my whole family including a 4 year old eating and trying so many things we never would. We’ve used it for about 8 years now and I could never go back. We did briefly try Hello Fresh and preferred Blue Apron - the portions are larger, the food especially the meat was much fresher and a higher quality and we just liked it better overall.

As someone mentioned, factor meals are good. I do them for my work lunches when I’m in a pinch for the week. I think it’s worth the convenience. I buy two weeks at a time and freeze them. Microwave as needed.

I have been a Gousto subscriber since 2022 and love it. I love that I don’t need to plan meals or shopping lists. The food just turns up every Sunday and we cook it.

You can also use ai to generate meals with recipes, shopping lists and total spend estimates

If you have a Costco near you, I know they have a lot of meals that are easy to just throw in the oven. Not quite delivery, but you’ll likely have more control over what meals you get and still enjoy the ease of just having to heat it up!

My SO’s best friend got us CookxUnity which was an absolute lifesaver during the newborn phase! We ordered more ourselves & love it. Hoping to get more since SO is overseas for work 🤞🏻 I’ve never meal planned in my life & don’t really want to start because how do you make something at the end of a week for a week & just eat that? Do they not go bad after a few days? It’s such an odd concept to me!

It does help but I preferred https://www.spatulafoods.com/?source=gads&medium=brand&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21001266363&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1ZjOBhCmARIsADDuFTDaE8WtqQIY7S95I0C87ZNw63z-RpK343OS2FlOjlCR_y0rVq2o_iIaApKjEALw_wcB

We did hello fresh for a bit. Got backed up on leftovers 😅

Avatar

Oh if you do hello fresh, go for the family size so you cook once and have leftovers for the next day

someone mentioned cook unity and I second that. We’ve been on it for like 8 months now and not only does it save time spent in the kitchen, it has also improved my mental health not having to brainstorm what to mix up for lunch or dinner. Ready-made meals stay fresh until best by date .. excellent packaging no need to freeze!

RTW- Maternity Policy

I’m supposed to be returning to work in June however, don’t know if I want to yet. I’ve read in my maternity work policy that if I was entitled to enhanced maternity pay as well as statutory (which I was), if I leave my job while on maternity leave or within 3 months of being back then I will have to pay the enhanced maternity pay back to the company. Has anyone else experienced this and how do the payments work please?

Sad Relationship with my Mom

Hello 💕

I'm feeling so lonely lately being in a new country without any family. I reach out to my mom daily, but we haven't been close since I was in high school. She's not very involved in my life nor my son's (2yr). We lived under the same roof until a few months ago, but even then, she mostly kept her distance. My grandma is very much the same and bed bound. I don't know what I expected, but I am so sad about it. I wish I had a mom, aunt, older sister, or unrelated older woman friend to talk to. I see these relationships on TV and they make me so sad (and a bit jealous). Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Are you ladies bothered by your man having many female friends that are apparently as neutral as their male friends?

He’s had most of these female friends long before I met him so it’s not that I want him to discontinue their friendship, I just wish he wouldn’t text them often and such. I don’t believe he hangs out with them or at least not like one on one.. should I just chill and not be insecure? Side note, I did see only one conversation where they were not romantic per se but flirtatious..

Are you using it? Have you ever been in therapy? Are you for or against it for any particular reason?
