This time of year I make promises to myself on what I'm going to do differently in the coming year. At the top of my list is to each a healthy lunch, something I rarely do in between tastings. And as with everything I eat, be it healthy or not, the standard is pretty high in terms of my taste and quality expectations. I don't think anyone would disagree -- I'm a very picky eater!
This past Christmas season, when time is at a premium, I tried something I've never done before. I ordered 10 fresh made lunches from a unique company, Personal Chef to Go. I was somewhat skeptical as to what I would receive as their website promised a lot: fresh, healthy, delicious meals delivered to your door, guaranteed to stay fresh for 8 days.
I am happy to say that they lived up to their lofty promises. I found each meal unique and delicious, even considering the ideal calorie/fat/carb ratio. I wasn't sure that something so healthy could taste so good. The only downside is that you do not get to pick your meals, but some that I tried were something I would not have ordered but did thoroughly enjoy.
Equally surprising was the incredible manner in which they were packaged. The box arrived in absolutely perfect condition, right on time. And true to the promise, the meals stayed in perfect condition for exactly 1 week. You are also able to freeze what you can't eat, which I did do also with great results.
So in the New Year I will definitely be utilizing the amazing services of Personal Chef To Go, and if your goals are anything like mine I encourage you to give them a try! Posted by Laura McManus at 8:46 AM Labels: food, gifts, meals

Website Review: But You Don't Look Sick?
I know that eating nutritious meals is an important part of any daily health routine. The benefits of proper diet are significant to anyone, but for those of us with chronic illness, proper nutrition – or a lack thereof – can often mean the difference between a manageable flare and a hospital visit.

The pasta dish was delightful. It’s clearly family-friendly as the spices aren’t over-stated, and the chicken is just perfect. The broccoli was fresh. NOTHING about this meal felt like eating a frozen dinner. It’s delicious, fresh, and wonderful.
