Quality Counts

A year ago, my friend Melody told me that she started ordering from a company that provides restaurant quality, top grade, portion-controlled, all-natural (read: no hormones and other junk!) meat.  We decided to call and find out how the program worked.  Let me just say, Five Star Home Foods is "Da BOMB!"

This is a picture of our freezer after a delivery.  Isn't it awesome?!

We knew when we placed our first order that we wanted to start eating better.  But, I didn't know that a year later I would be doing Take Shape for Life, where each day I would need to prepare a delicious lean and green meal for my family.

It has been a pleasure to go to my freezer and choose from some of the best quality, lean meats available.  Their flavor and texture are unbelievable! 

No, I'm not a walking....errr, blogging...advertisement for Five Star.  I just am posting about this today because we place another order tonight and I can't wait to get my new freezer full of foods in a few days.

Eating GOOD food has been just as important as eating HEALTHY food.  And, no, the two things are not necessarily the same for people.  We have splurged on items to make sure we are getting top quality meats and vegetables.  We've also changed the quality (and content) of the food we serve to our kids. 

Just say no to "High Fructose Corn Syrup."  That thing is NOT our friend.  Neither are saturated fats, trans fats, and lots of added preservatives.  In the end, quality really does count.  And, obviously, from my previous post, it doesn't have to break the bank.

Here's to quality meats!  Now...it's dinner time.  Let me go check my freezer and see what we're having tonight.
