Gluten-Free Meal Delivery Systems
I've been looking into some of these Meal Delivery
systems lately...and found this helpful guide for some of the safest for
Gluten-Free meals. I'm currently using Home Chef and ordering only their Gluten-Free options. I love it! Once a week I have meals & recipes delivered right to my door. Everything is portioned and prepped to make my cooking so simple. And I'm free to alter the final meal according to my own tastes. I find it's a bit more expensive than I would normally spend shopping but then I'm not throwing away food anymore either. If you decide to try HomeChef you can try this link. It should give you a $30.00 credit off your first order.
Now, my next challenge is to see if I can get these delivered to my vacation rental next time I travel! I can certainly see it as a possibility. And the more I've looked I've discovered that most states have personal chef's meals available for delivery too. Next year I'm heading for Georgia! Time to start my research.
