He had great suggestions for the menu and while I didn't get to taste any of the food, my family said it was absolutely wonderful.

Naomi's "Take it & Bake it" meals made life so much easier for us. We ordered multiple times when…read moreour son was young, and I was juggling night classes. Most meals needed to be refrigerated for 24 hours before cooking. They offer a variety of options to suit your needs (2-serving, 3-serving, 6-serving sizes and a gluten-free choice). Each month, there's a new selection of around 15 meals. You can mix and match however you'd like--selecting different meals or multiple portions of your favorites. Pickup locations are available in North Liberty and Kathy's Pies in Cedar Rapids. Every meal arrives frozen with cooking instructions. We rarely have leftovers, but it's still more cost-effective than dining out. I appreciate that there's no subscription requirement, though you do need to order a few weeks in advance since spots fill up quickly. My husband likes to add extra seasoning to some meals for a bit more heat. I wish they offered a wider selection of non-dairy meals for those who are lactose intolerant. This is an excellent option for busy families, new parents, elderly individuals, those recovering from illness or surgery, or anyone wanting to supplement/change up their meal routine. It also makes a great gift for new parents.
