I'd have laughed at myself about this topic a year ago but me and my wife's lives are super hectic right now. I am senior lead at a startup and she's a senior consultant for a tax firm so now busy season is beginning for her. I also have side-clients I take care by freelancing during nights and weekends. Also, a podcast. Also, I want to do some gaming. Also, I have to have fun with my doggie. Also, social life knocks at our door especially with COVID winding down. Also, I want to write my book (one of these days...). What this means is that we absolutely have very little time, and that time is gone by doing house chores, laundry, and other "life" things and the remnants of that we want to spend relaxing, going out, or doing something fun.
We generally prep on Sundays, but we don't like doing a prep that extends beyond Wednesdays. Food gets mushy after a while? And of course, prep takes a bunch of time on Sundays so we don't like spending 4 hours cooking on a Sunday. We have fallen into the bad habit of DoorDashing food after we are done with eating the prep food, and not only is it expensive, usually it's less healthy. Even some local healthier options can feel "heavy", and honestly it's like $40 to have this stuff delivered per meal. We are considering a prepared meal service, maybe only for two or three days for both of us a week. Does anyone have a good experience with these? Anything they'd recommend? I don't care about the budget, I just want to have a better alternative during the week that allows us some extra wiggle room and some more "rest" time.
