Summer is the one time of year when everyone is out in the sun, enjoying the warm weather and socializing outside. The sunny season is always my chance to connect with friends and family, and maybe catch a nap or two in my favorite hammock.
The great outdoors was calling, the weather was perfect for the beach, and the water was warm in my backyard pool. There was only one problem: what would I make for dinner?
Home Chef was my answer. 
I wanted to advance my cooking skills this summer, so Home Chef meal kits were the perfect way to start. The Home Chef kit conveniently delivers a wide range of ingredients to help DIY chefs of any caliber create unique dishes. After signing up online, I received fresh, pre-portioned ingredients directly to my door, with easy-to-follow recipes that took the guesswork out of my summer menu planning.
Home Chef sent me weekly recipes that could cater to all skill levels and dietary preferences. All I needed to do to create a delicious meal was follow the step-by-step instructions for each recipe, and, voilà: dinner was served.
How I Simplified My Summer Cooking
When I was busy balancing social events and a hectic household, Home Chef meal kits helped me throw together wholesome meals within minutes.
During summer, I often feel the need to mix up my regular meal staples. Home Chef made it easy to expand my culinary horizons with an ever-changing menu. Last week, I made a lentil salad with grilled courgette pasta, a meal I couldn’t have managed without Home Chef’s easy-to-follow instructions.
Earlier in the summer, I decided to have my kids join me in the kitchen. Since each Home Chef recipe came with pre-portioned ingredients, cooking as a family was a safe and easy creative outlet for my two little ones while they were out of school.
This was the perfect time of year to make quick and fresh meals. When it was hot outside, I’d have my husband light up the grill. When it was a bit rainy, I’d get some use out of the stovetop. With less time spent on food planning and cooking, I got to spend more summertime fun with my family and friends.
