And here we are again—back to backpacks and lunchboxes, homework and reading logs, softball practice and soccer games. Life is incredibly busy, but it’s also rewarding. As a mother of three, I wouldn’t have it any other way, though it can sometimes be overwhelming.
Our days are packed with back-to-school errands, doctor appointments, and sports practices, overloading my brain with details! There’s always something to remember: mark the calendar for back-to-school night, sign up for the PTA, print photos for the writing unit, and schedule a physical—the list never seems to end. Sometimes, finding the time to prepare a balanced meal for my family feels impossible, and that really weighs on me.
Cue in Feast & Fettle!
I am thankful I don’t have to think about dinner because a beautifully packed cooler bag is waiting on my front porch when I return home every week. There is such a relief knowing all I have to do is heat and serve to get a well-balanced and delicious meal on the table. Take this well-deserved break from the kitchen!
By taking one thing off my plate (no pun intended), I could focus on the laundry, packing backpacks, and crossing items off my to-do list!
Feast & Fettle delivers fully prepared, nourishing meals directly to your door. They have flexible plans and weekly-curated menus, with great options for every kind of eater. You can order entrées and sides, packable lunches, and favorites for kids. Forget shipping containers and UPS trucks; this local company only sends in-house drivers to drop off your week of meals in—get this—reusable totes and containers they’ll pick up and recycle for you. So, yep, it’s zero-waste, too!
It was founded on the conviction that everyone deserves nourishing, well-made meals regardless of their lifestyle. Feast & Fettle dreams of a world where busy families can easily enjoy well-made, healthy meals and have more time for the things they love!
Local, fresh, and fully prepared Feast & Fettle meals are the savior of back-to-school. Here are the top five reasons I choose to feed my family Feast & Fettle meals.
1. Less Stress
Knowing my family will eat a healthy and well-balanced dinner makes me ecstatic. For some reason, food always tastes better when you don’t have to cook it! Not wasting time in the kitchen during the busiest time of the day allows me to check other tasks off my list and spend more time with my kids. I also love their breakfast and lunch options! This makes for a less stressful morning when preparing breakfast and packing lunches (for me and the kids)! Grab-and-go items like parfaits, overnight oats, energy bites, sandwiches, and snack packs make for convenient meals. You can also use these snacks to refuel between football games or on the way to piano lessons.
2. Everyone is Happy
I can choose meals from an extensive list of options. Feast & Fettle has many picky-eater and kid-friendly options like “burger buddies,” mac and cheese, energy bites, and Oreo dirt cups! Kids are happy, and parents are happier!
3. Less Waste
I am notorious for purchasing a boatload of veggies and not cooking them. I get excited when I see extremely fresh produce and may over-buy occasionally. I know I am not the only one who sometimes loses a bag of chicken to the back of my fridge! By counting on Feast & Fettle and planning our meals, I am limiting the amount of waste from my fridge!
4. Portion Control
I love to eat, and I tend to overindulge when I am tired and stressed! With Feast & Fettle, you can choose the number of people you are purchasing for to ensure that when everyone is fed, you won’t be left picking! However, the portion size is large enough that leftovers for lunch the next day are not out of the question!
5. It is Exciting
It is really fun to pick delicious meals from a menu! Ordering from Feast & Fettle makes you feel like you are out at a restaurant ordering fine dining! Their menus change weekly. There is a specific magic to this, making the process enjoyable. It is also exciting when you order a week or two in advance and are surprised by what is delivered because you set it and forget it! Mamas, it’s the little things!
Order from Feast & Fettle, and you won’t be sorry! It truly is the back-to-school savior we all need.
Take one thing off your very full and busy plate! Knowing that dinner is planned and prepared allows me to be more present in the evenings! It is a gift, especially as we embark on one of the busiest times of the school year!
