Food delivery

Home delivery of food has become more and more popular in Norway.
People seem to have lesser time on their hand,, places to go and people to meet and not everybody is very fond of planning their meals, but enjoy to eat good food.

This week I have tied out food homedelivery Adamsmatkasse.
Ingredients and recipes for 5 dinners, 1 tart pluss 4 kg fresh fruits.

What you see in the top picture is basicly what was in the boxes and it is supposed to be enough for a family of four. Doesn't look much does it and I have to admitt that I was a little worried that it would not be enough for the four of us still living in my household.
What does a family of four consist of?
Two adults and two small children, 4 adults, one adult and thre young children or a family like mine with one adult, two hungry teens(18 and 15) and a little wee one.
My fifteen year old who helped me carry the boxes in to the kitchen has passed 6'1" already, he snickered a little when he saw the amount of proteins

But oh well, best to keep an open mind 

During this week we had
Baked cod with romaesco and a cucumber- and dillsalad

My initial worry about this not being enough food was needless, there was enough.
MiniMe is a little bit oicky when it comes to vegetables, I tried to get her to try te romanesco and said "Look sweetie they look like mini christmastrees" where up on the little sweetie answered "I don't want to eat christmastrees" Jeez, mum needs to think about her analogies.
Baby romaine taco with corn, bellpeppers and beans.

Nothing bad to say about this dish exept that we ran out of lettuce, ha ha ha and I was worried about not enough proteins. We ended up eating half of it without lettuce, I did not feel like running to the store in the middle of dinner.
Fish augratin with lemonsauce and colorful vegetables

Front Ribs with homemade ajvar sauce and lime scented couscous salad. 
My "little" carnivores had been looking forward to this meal, but they missed bbq sauce. It was not because that the boys did not like the  ajvar sauce, it was just different.
The meal did fill us up, but sometimes the eye wants more then the tummy, the boys wondered if this was it and looking at MiniMes plate and hoping she did not want hers:)
She knew they wanted hers and took her time eating every little bit :D
Baked potato with ham, veggies and sourcream.

Tart Tatin a la Adam
For this recipe we only got the apples, most housholds have the extra ingredients like flour, butter and sugar.
I liked the variation of meals in this deliverybox and I feel it was healthy and nutitional as well.
I would recomend subscribing for food deliveries like this if you do not have time to prepare and your priority is not grocery shopping or if you have hectic periods that take you to other places but your kitchen. Besides it is only five meals and no breakfast and no lunch, so you do have to actually go groceryshopping once in a while. Another solution is to eat out, invite yourself to someone or invite someone to you:)
