That food is heavy when prepared but is well presented to a small family. Kinda Dickensian, I mean. Other “festive premium” dishes include balsamic-and-fig ribeye with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and crostini; and pistachio-crusted lamb chops with mashed potatoes and green beans.
And while this diet requires you to sign up for a subscription, HelloFresh doesn’t require any commitment going forward. So you can just sign up for the introductory price and have a nice little holiday by ordering three dishes. If you’ve never registered, this will be a 50 percent discount, meaning you can get a three-person meal for four for $71, or $36 for two, plus the extra cost of a fancy holiday meal. Other meals can be dinners for another day, easy prep and bakes for post-holiday laziness, or additions to a fancy holiday feast. (Pre-subscribers still get a discount, but not as much, about 25 percent instead of half off.)
You may eventually decide to keep your subscription beyond the holidays. I personally find that the winter months are especially a good time for grocery deliveries, because I shudder at the thought of venturing into a cold, rainy country to get groceries. Which leads me to the unnecessary $50 DoorDash meal, and accountability. But especially, if you’re at home with a small family, it’s good to have a few special meals that you can’t prepare when you’re left to your own devices. Or at least, I enjoyed my maple chicken.
Charcuterie Board Delivery Service
Boarderie Charcuterie Board Delivery
It ships overnight, but it is recommended to order 48 hours in advance.
As a middle-aged person where cheese remains one of the few constant joys, I find myself putting together many charcuterie boards. For holidays, parties at my house, parties at other people’s houses, or even quick dinners. Regardless of the size of the board, the cost can add up quickly, especially when you add frills like pickles, dried fruits, chocolate, and chutneys. Saying nothing during cutting and editing. Boarderie, an instant email order board hosted by Shark Tank shark Lori Grenier, isn’t the cheapest option, but it’s one of the most impressive.
Boards are available with custom cheese shapes (including numbers of your choice) or holiday themes, including Christmas, Jewish holidays (no meat), and New Year’s. Although they ship overnight, this is via FedEx, so delays can—and often do—happen, so make sure you give them a few days in advance. I’ve had Boarderie twice now at parties, and both arrived fresh from the ice and stayed slightly frozen—the first time, despite sitting on my porch for half the afternoon; the second time, despite the delay of almost a whole day. The large size comes with 37 components, including 15 cheeses (fig and rose goat cheese, wasabi horseradish cheddar), four meats (black truffle salami, chorizo), five types of nuts, eight fruits and pickles, and three boxes of different types of crackers. There are also marmalades and candies and a disposable collection of bamboo picks, spoons, and tongs.
