Kellogg’s Share Your Breakfast
Nearly one in four kids in America struggle with hunger. My kids are lucky enough to attend a school where they have free breakfast. They look forward to it every single day. I cannot...
This year Boston Market has rolled out a new program to help relieve some of the stress of the holidays by taking care of the cooking. And the best part? They will deliver it right to your door. Ordering is simple. Just point your browser to BostonMarket.com and click the Thanksgiving Made Easy button (hurry though, orders for Thanksgiving have to be in by the 19th of November). We recently tried out the service and had the Complete Thanksgiving Meal for 12 delivered to our door.
Our Boston Market Thanksgiving Meal for 12 arrived secured in a large insulated box. Within, we found a gorgeous whole roasted turkey complete with all the trimmings. There was mashed potatoes, gravy, home style stuffing, cranberry walnut relish, spinach and artichoke dip with crackers, dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, and apple pie.
Preparing the meal was easy. The turkey goes into a special bag and then into your oven to reheat. Everything else is heated easily enough via your favorite method. Everything from microwaving to oven baking will work. The process was pretty painless, but you do have to allow enough time for all the food to get hot.
The turkey will take the longest, but all told we had everything hot and ready to eat in about 2 hours. Now that may seem like a fair amount of time, but in truth, most of that was heating up the turkey, which required zero effort on our part once we popped it in the oven.
Best of all, the kitchen was clean when we were done cooking. We didn’t have to actually prep anything, so no measuring cups were dirtied and no messes made. The Boston Market complete Thanksgiving meal for 12 was by far the easiest meal I have ever prepared for that many people.
The convenience of simply heating things up cannot be understated. There was no getting up at 6 am to start prepping. There was no mess or stress. And the food itself tasted fantastic. The turkey was juicy; it tasted like I had been cooking and basting for hours on end. The mashed potatoes and gravy were every bit as good (if not better) than anything I have had in Thanksgivings past. There wasn’t a single bad dish in the Boston Market box.
In our household, Thanksgiving is first and foremost about spending quality time with family and close friends. I loved that the Boston Market complete Thanksgiving meal for 12 allowed me to spend my time where it was important, with the people I love, rather than in the kitchen.
