Thanksgiving Meal Delivery

It’s no doubt Thanksgiving will look a little different this year. If you’d rather not figure out the what and how of meal planning and shopping, a good option would be Thanksgiving meal delivery kits! I’ll share information on Home Chef Thanksgiving meal delivery, Blue Apron Thanksgiving meal kit delivery and Hello Fresh Thanksgiving meal kit delivery boxes. With all three you get can order all the dishes for your Thanksgiving dinner, and have the ingredients and instructions delivered to your door!

I’m a big fan of meal delivery services (I’ve compared meal delivery services) and use them weekly. I’m a busy working mom to 3 kids and even though my business is cooking for a living (I write/photograph cookbooks and create recipes – I even shared a Thanksgiving meal planner for a small family if you want to take on the planning and shopping yourself) but it’s really nice to have all the ingredients delivered to your door, with instructions, and not have to think about it! Same goes with Thanksgiving dinner. With a meal delivery kit, all the recipes and ingredients to make the recipes will be delivered to your door. Makes Thanksgiving a little easier and fun!!

Closing thoughts

• Love that Home Chef you can order a-la carte! Their recipes are always super easy to follow and the food just tastes SO GOOD! I’m going to order those biscuits and add it to what I’m making for the big day!
• Hello Fresh delivers two weeks before Thanksgiving, not just Thanksgiving week, so it’s perfect if you want to do a Friendsgiving meal delivery. I love that they have a turkey or beef option.
• The Blue Apron menu sounds good, sometime their recipes can be a little labor intensive and adventurous for the average eater, but they taste great. And I love the option they have of adding on wine!
