What's been saving my lunches lately


Hi Reader,

I found my new favorite fall sweater - I've gotten so many compliments since wearing it!

And did you see this easy halloween snack? I love that it has protein and is fun for the kiddos to decorate.

Now that fall is here, I'm surprised I've been lacking the energy to do my normal meal prep. I love fall meals and soups! I don't know why lunch feels so hard right now - maybe it's the postpartum season I'm in, like:

  • carrying a baby and not always having free hands
  • If I do have a free hour, I don't necessarily want to do meal prep or prep a meal
  • I just don't feel like making something blah either
  • I want something that I'd order for takeout!

All of these feelings have made these CookUnity made-for-me lunches feel so luxurious. To heat a restaurant-worthy meal in minutes that I can enjoy at home feels too good to be true - but it's been working really well!

And I have an awesome 50% discount code for you to do the same. You don't have to enjoy them for lunch, though. Save them for an easy dinner after a long workday or when you generally have zero energy for cooking.

You can save 50% off your weekly meals. I really loved the coffee steak bowl and the chili lime salmon.


I hope you're able to enjoy these meals as much as me!

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

This week's new recipe family-friendly and only requires 1 pot. If you have cooked chicken already (or even rotisserie chicken), you can skip the grunt of the cooking here and your recipe is ready in 15 minutes! I happen to think orzo pasta is so...

Hi Reader, Somehow Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We are actually staying put and looking to have a low-key Thanksgiving, which I am very much looking forward to! Some good food, a full belly, great company, and hopefully we'll get out for a family walk. I haven't done a turkey day 5k since before kids, so maybe I'll find one near us! Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? I'd love to hear them! Tasty Thanksgiving Sides Don't forget to leave a recipe rating if you love it! ALMOND...
