Kitchenmuse - review

August 22nd, 2008

I have been using Kitchenmuse menus for several months now and I just love them.  They are so easy and my family agrees that they like the meals. 

In the menu, I get 6 dinners, some side dishes and a couple of desserts.  It works perfectly.  On the 7th night of the week (the missing one), we either order in (very rarely), or I make something from the cooking magazines I’m addicted to.

The Kitchenmuse stresses the importance of using whole foods and cooking from scratch.  This I love.  It makes planning meals so easy for me.  In addition, she includes some raw food recipes, particularly desserts.  Yum.  The meals are all based on seasonal ingredients, which I love and makes it easy to get the foods needed to prepare the meals.  No searching in exotic, expensive stores to find what I need.  Who has time for that?

The meal plan comes to my inbox each Wednesday, in time for me to plan my meals for ordering my organic fruit & vegetable box, which I pick up on Fridays - grocery day.   I look forward to receiving the innovative recipes each week.  Additionally, Kitchenmuse herself is a nutritionist with an interest in organic and whole foods. 

Kitchenmuse also runs a Waldorf-inspired daycare in her home, so that really makes it easy for me to support her business!  She has teamed up with Little Acorn this year to provide a seasonal lunch/breakfast menu.  It is based on Steiner’s colour/grain of the day.  I’m so excited about this.  I’ve been struggling with lunches for our homeschool, and this may very well be the answer!  I have yet to see the autumn (the first) set, but plan to next week.  I’ll be sure to let everyone know how that is!

 Enjoying the nutritionally complete  journey,  Amanda
