With our busy schedules, we hardly have enough time to head out to the grocery store. We’ve resorted to buying our groceries and prepared foods online. The latest food delivery service we’ve tried is Graze.
Graze is a weekly farm-to-fridge online delivery service which brings fresh, wholesome and sustainably produced foods directly from Vermont’s family farms to your front door.
At Graze, you can purchase heat and serve meals, ready-to-cook food, pantry items, fridge staples, and more. We tried out a week’s delivery and were impressed by the quality of the food. In our week’s crate were a container of Dinner for the Kids, a One Skillet Meal, farm fresh eggs, yogurt, quinoa salad, and turkey cold cuts.
When I think of a kids meal, I think of fried food or burgers – well, at least from what I usually see at restaurant menus. Graze’s Dinner for the Kids is on the healthier, and tastier side – Chicken Teriyaki with steamed broccoli. The meal is already cooked, so all you have to do is “heat and serve.”
The One Skillet Meal for the week was Pasta Primavera with Sweet Italian Sausage. Cooking the meal was easy – cook the pasta, brown the sausage, add veggies. Mix together and top with shredded parmesan cheese. The best part about cooking this dish – the prep work was already done. The veggies were pre-sliced and placed in labelled Ziploc bags. The meal was delicious. It was enough for 3 adults, plus we had enough for leftovers for work.
The Stir Fry Veggies was also great. We just cooked it the way we normally do – fire up the wok, heat some oil, add garlic and throw in the veggies. Because the vegetables were already sliced, the cook time was a mere 5 minutes. Time saver for us so we could catch up on other things.
Other items that came with the delivery:
- We loved the Quinoa Salad. Already prepared with dressing on the side, it’s great as a side or even a snack.
- We cooked the eggs in an omelet with the nitrite/nitrate-free turkey cold cuts.
- And the yogurt, eaten as a morning snack.
When ordering on GrazeDelivered.com, you’ll notice some abbreviations next to some of the product names. Graze caters those with special diets, so be on the lookout for these letters:
- ‘V’ stands for Vegetarian
- ‘GF’ stands for Gluten-Free
- ‘P’ stands for Paleo-Friendy (A diet mainly consisting of lean meats and cage-free eggs, veggies. No grains or legumes.)
Though Graze’s prices are on the higher side, you’re paying for locally sourced food of great quality. Even better, the food comes prepped, so the time you save is priceless.
There’s also a Graze referral program. Just put “Dee De Castro” in their referral box when you sign up. When you place their first order, you will receive our Rotating Veggie Mix, free of charge. Nice!
Graze also has a CSA program. All organic, local Vermont Farms, NO overloading of any one item because they work with a co-operative of farms. Plus, it’s home delivered free of charge, and you get to add eggs and bread. Learn more about Graze’s CSA program on their website.
