This is a sponsored collaboration with Relished – a fresh ingredient and recipe delivery service
that delivers to roughly half the U.S.
I know I haven’t been around much lately. π
We actually went through a crazy move that seemed to go on forever. I was a stressed out mess during part of it, but thankfully, we’re finally settled now and mostly unpacked in our new home.
Life is back to normal, and I couldn’t be happier. After everything we’ve been through the past eight months, I crave normal living like never before.
I just want to cook, clean, homeschool my kids, and do laundry. Doing these things makes me incredibly happy right now. Does that sound crazy?
I don’t know…
What I do know is that in the midst of getting back to normal, I stumbled upon a service that I can’t stop talking about. It’s called Relished, and I’m completely impressed with this food and recipe delivery service. It’s just awesome!
Why?
Well, allow me to explain. π
Top 5 Reasons to Love Relished Foods:
Reason #1: The only ingredients I needed to have on hand to put together mouthwatering meals were salt, pepper, oil, and water. All of the other ingredients were delivered right to my doorstep, and they were fresh coming out of the box.
They also stayed fresh for days in my refrigerator. I prepared three Relished meals in all with ingredients that came from one shipment.
Reason #2: Relished sends entire meals that are easy to prepare, and they come with step-by-step instructions, so there’s no guessing what to start cooking first or which ingredients go together.
The best part is that your finished meal looks just like the meal on the recipe card. (Below are the Sous Vide Short Ribs)
Reason #3: Relished has a scrumptious, diverse menu that changes on a weekly basis. I’m thinking the Kung Pao Chicken would be amazing to prepare for a date night with my husband in the near future. π
I love the colorful, fresh salads Relished offers on a regular basis, too.
Reason #4: I absolutely loved that while following the directions, I was learning how to cook foods I’ve never made in the past. I’ve never made quinoa or black lentils, but I know how to now.
I also roasted baby carrots in a way I never have in the past. Oh, they were so good!
Reason #5:Β Meals are full of flavor and just good! I’m not even kidding when I say that the meals I made with Relished foods taste far better than food served in most table service restaurants.
My husband is still talking about how much he loved the short ribs.
If I had to sum up my experience with Relished, I would have to say, it’s a convenient, doable, delicious way to make an awesome dinner for your family while spending less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying everyday (normal) life.
I can’t wait to place my next order. π

Wow, all the meals looks so tasty! I would love to have someone send me ingredients directly to my house so I wouldn’t have to grocery shop π
Sandra says
The meals were delicious, and they send ample ingredients, too. This allowed us to stretch our meals even further.

Those meals look delicious. Having food delivered to your door would be really convenient. Kinda like a CSA but more complete meals.

Relished is a wonderful service. I especially love the step-by-step instructions they include and getting to try new foods.
