One Potato Delivers Organic, Family Friendly Meal Boxes

new number one. It's kind of for families like mine that want to eat better, but you don't know where to start. And yes, I've tried the recipes thing. My wife and I we actually plan out all of our meals for the entire week on Sunday. And here's the problem. You buy all the ingredients for recipes and you just made yourself like a forty or fifty dollars dinner because you're getting spices and all these little things you only need a little bit of, and the rest usually gets wasted.

One Potato was started by Katherine McCord. It delivers a box to your house every Tuesday full of enough ingredients to cook two or three meals for the entire family, so everyone's included, which in our household right now, we do the meal kit for us and then we cook something separate for the kids. So this way you can cook one meal for everyone. Everything is really easy to make,

and the recipes equally appeal to adults and kids. The ingredients are organic, which you're gonna love, and they're also semi prepared, so mostly the work is done for you. The ingredients come in a lot of plastic bags, so if there's like a broth, it's in a plastic bag, some sort of sauce, and a lot of times you're just sort of mixing things up, heating things up. There's minimal prep work, so, like Catherine explained to me, if you're making French fries, you're not gonna have to chop

up the potato. They're basically going to send you pre chopped potatoes and you just put them in the oven with a little salt and pepper. Right now, one Potatoes delivering to eight states Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Utah. From what I hear, it sounds like they're expanding to the East Coast very soon. I know they have a long waiting list of people that want it there.

They also have options like nut free and vegetarian, and you do get to choose your recipes each week from a handful of options. But right now they only deliver on Tuesdays, so that's when your box arrives to your house. Let me give you a little backstory quickly on Katherine McCord. This is really funny. She started a website called Welicious many years ago. When I had a kid, I started looking at that website to kind of get an idea

of how to cook for kids. This is where I learned to broil salmon, and so I was really impressed with that. And here's the funny thing. So a couple of weeks ago, we were looking through recipes for something to cook and I found one that I clipped from Parents magazine back in like twenty eleven when I had my first kid, and we made it and I looked closely and look who the recipes author was. It was

Catherine McCord. I was like, all right, I gotta do the story on one potato because they had pitched me on one potato. And I figured you know what, if this is happening, I broiled salmon. I know how to broil salmon because of Catherine. I made this other recipe. It was like a pesto chicken pasta that was just delicious. The whole family loved it. I said, you know what, I gotta try out one tato. So recently I was in her kitchen. We made two meals from the box.

The first was fried chicken with smashed peas, freshly baked biscuits, and coal slaw. And everything was really easy to make. Even the egg wash for the chicken that you know you used to bread, it was already prepped and its pasteurized eggs. The biscuits, all we had to do was separate the dough and then bake them up. And the coal slaw you just spooned out of a plastic bag. It was already prepared. In fact, Catherine always looks to

make kind of healthy options whenever she can. So the coal saw is made with yogurt instead of whatever they make coalsau with. I guess mayo, and so I tasted it and it was great. Everything tasted great, in fact, and the whole family will love it. Another meal we made was turkey burrito bowls. Now here's the deal. I am not a huge fan of ground turkey. I know, I for some reason, I just don't really like it. But so I was a little hesitant when we made this one because I had to try it. And it

was delicious. And we didn't even season the ground turkey, which is kind of crazy. We only made the meal kind of like halfway, but I made it kind of faster than normal, and it was really good. And I'm not just saying this part, but the prepared salsa and guacamole that I had that came in the kit was among the best pre prepared gualk and salsa I've ever had in my life. So it was really good. I was very impressed. And did I mention Each box of one potato comes with a little roll of cookie dough,

So the flavor we had was like lemon coconut. I baked those up at home and they were really good. The flavor changes every week. Pricing for the boxes start at sixty dollars a week. It works out to about seven to thirteen dollars a meal depending on how many meals you purchase, So the more that you buy, the cheaper the meals get and yes, drive throughs might be cheaper, but they're definitely not as fulfilling for you or as good for you in the family, and this way the

kids can help you cook. Now, if you want to try one potato you can use my code rich on tech thirty for thirty percent off your first box and let me know what you think. I think we're gonna do it for our family. We're gonna start next week. We just canceled our Blue Apron to try this one. Otherwise, I will say, if you're going for one of these kits, maybe you're just adults. You don't need the potato for

the family. I say, Hello, Fresh is better than Blue Apron in my opinion, So let me know what you think on Twitter if you want. Otherwise, thanks for listening.
