No More ‘To Go’

I really like no more to go and most of the time my family does too. (With 4 kids you are always going to get complaints about something). I get way fewer complaints when I use their menus! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of all the technical problems we have had with the website! It drives me crazy! I can not get to the menus on my computer at all, even when I do their «fix». My husband can usually get there on his, but today he tried 3 different browsers and still couldn’t get there. He is a computer guy, so usually he can figure it out. Since we do have to pay a small amount for the menus, I expect to be able to get them. It’s just frustrating.

This is my first time using a meal planning service and so far I love it. I like that «No more to go» offers a lot of recipes that are far more interesting than just hamburgers, spaghetti, etc. While we haven’t liked everything so far, overall it has been a really cool experience.
There have been a few things that I probably wouldn’t have made on my own, but now I really like them and will make them again in the future.
My favorite things are: 1. All the thinking is done for me. I’m pretty busy and so not having to think about dinner, but just make things like a robot, is awesome.
2. The names of the dinner items. I like to try new foods and I feel like with the menus provided every week, I’m getting to do that.
3. Eating more vegetables than usual. There are a lot of vegetables used in the recipes, so that is a big plus.
Cons: 1. If I were on a very tight budget, this might not be doable. (The food that I buy at the grocery store is used up, so I’m not wasting vegetables that go bad before I get to them. So in that sense, this is cheaper than normal.) But specialty items like quinoa, Tahini paste, etc are more expensive than other foods I might normally buy.
2. The recipes take longer to cook than what I usually make. This is probably because of the time it takes to cut up the vegetables, but I am now spending 45 minutes or more in the kitchen cooking. But I’m not having to think about what I’m going to make, so I’m saving time that way.
I bought this through a Groupon but will probably keep subscribing when my Groupon expires. :-)
