Anybody ever had meals delivered from Fresh Express?
Interesting, boy and DIL like them and sent us a code for a free trial. Pick them out online and they come on Mondays. 3 meals each for 2 people and it is basically 3 boxes of groceries and 3 recipe cards. Everything is all ready to cook and they take about 30 minutes to prepare. Very fresh ingredients and tonight it is blackened catfish with potatoes and zucchini . Fish is wild caught and veggies look to have been picked yesterday.
