Is this conversation with yourself familiar:
Self: "I know I should eat healthier."
Self Response: "You should, but it's hard."
Self: "Yeah, you're right. Let's just go out to eat."
Not that there is anything wrong with going out to eat, but at most restaurants you run the risk of ingesting more sodium, fat, and calories than you had intended. And while all your life you've been told that eating at home is healthier, when the only thing you have time to cook is a frozen pizza, that mantra goes out the window.
So what is a busy Boulderite, who would like to eat healthier, to do? Why not check out The Organic Dish? Several years ago Toby and Beckie Hemmerling saw an opportunity to help people eat healthier without all the hassle by taking the "dinner-kit" idea and putting a healthier twist on it. Using natural and organic ingredients, they've crafted an infinite line of delicious meal ingredient kits that can be delivered to your home or picked up at The Organic Dish Boulder location. The idea is that you can order a week's worth (or a month's worth) of meals online and then minimize your grocery shopping. The meals can all be frozen or refrigerated and then cooked at your convenience, with minimal steps. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The meals come out great, even for those who may feel uncomfortable in the kitchen.
With both vegetarian and meat-based offerings, the Organic Dish's menu changes monthly to offer you a variety of delicious meals. Examples from the December menu include Green Curry and Coconut Mung Beans and Autumn Herb Chicken with Wild Rice. The website boasts many innovative ways to help your family eat healthier and is definitely worth a visit. If you're not ready to commit to a week's worth of food but would like to give it a try, you can also just stop in and grab a meal from their "Grab and Go"counter. Once you experience how easy and tasty it is, you'll be hooked and your body will thank you.
