Entertaining Made Easy with Fresh Direct {Plus a Giveaway}

Disclosure: I was provided with food from Fresh Direct to facilitate this post but all the opinions are my own!

We love to entertain.  Having friends over, laughing, enjoying our kids playing together; it’s just the epitome of summer to me.  The kids love the swings and bounce house while the adults enjoy BBQing, having a few drinks and sharing parental survival stories of the week!

My only hesitation with having friends over is the prep.  After working all week plus running the kids to sports games and practices it leaves little time for the long list of chores that needs to be done before we can entertain properly. That is where Fresh Direct comes to the rescue.  Groceries delivered right to my doorstep while I am still in my pajamas. Hello!! This is amazing!!  Fresh Direct has saved the weekend. No more fighting the crowds for 2 hours in the grocery store while fighting with the kids that they can’t buy every sugary treat we pass. Forget the toys they sneak in, seriously why are there toys in the grocery store??

Fresh Direct makes it super easy.  You go on their website at www.freshdirect.com and create your list, pick your date and delivery time window and viola!!  Now that is my kind of shopping!!  Also, to make it even easier, Fresh Direct has gone and made READY TO SERVE food!!!  Yes, you read that right, ready made sides, meals, desserts and more.  Not only do you not have to shop, but you don’t have to cook your sides!! Just sit back and serve!!

They even send local meats, fish, desserts, fruit and more when they have availability. Everything we had was absolutely fabulous and WAY better than anything I could have made!!
