I love this new wave of awareness that is spreading in our communities about consuming farm-fresh foods and questioning where our food is coming from in general. We are more conscious of eating what is in season and eating foods that are sustainably grown. It is a wonderful way to live, isn’t it? But I will be first to admit that it is not easy to do so.
Most of us are always on the run, and are too busy to be on a constant quest for fresh and healthy. When weeknights get hectic, we often feel tempted to take the easy route - and just order pizza or some other take-out. And that’s when our wonderful intentions go straight out the window! :-(
Lucky for us, a terrific company based in Vermont, is on a quest to help us facilitate our goals for healthful eating, with the least amount of stress. Graze Delivered brings fresh ingredients from the farms in Vermont, straight to us. Milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt, veggies, meats - you name it. Too rainy or too cold or too busy to go food shopping? With a painless online ordering system, Graze Delivered makes deliveries in Fairfield and Westchester counties a cinch. Fresh and healthful foods, delivered weekly, right at your doorstep. How cool is that? :-)

To simplify our weeknight meals, Graze Delivered also offers a variety of ready to cook one-skillet meals as well as heat and serve meal options. The offerings change weekly and the recipes are created with adults as well as children in mind. With Graze, we can no longer blame our unhealthy eating habits on our busy schedules.
The one-skillet meals come totally ready to go. Based on whatever the recipe calls for: crisp and fresh veggies are chopped and packaged separately, meats in their respective sealed packages, clearly marked. Easy to read labels on all ingredients along with a recipe card make it totally idiot-proof (not that any of us are idiots, mind you!)

Last week I sampled some of the items that Graze Delivered delivers. I got a delivery of eggs, milk, bread, quinoa salad with crunchy vegetables, yogurt and a one skillet meal package (it was a Stonewood Farm Sweet Italian Sausage with Primavera Vegetables, Parmesan and Farfalle Pasta). I was so impressed at how prepped it came. No chopping, no peeling required. Even the cheese came shredded, for goodness sake! :-) The handy-dandy recipe card enclosed in the package was easy to follow with few very basic steps. I was able to prepare this delicious dish in less than 20 minutes. It hearty and wholesome, colorful as well as flavorful.
Graze also offers a CSA program - from all organic Vermont farms. Home delivered. Free of charge. You can add to your weekly CSA deliveries if you are expecting company or suspend the service for a few weeks if your are out of town. Did I say its totally customizable? :-) Visit http://www.grazedelivered.com/about/organic_csa for more information on the Graze CSA program.
