Terra’s Kitchen Introduces Family Meal Kits

The latest entry in the red-hot meal-kit arena comes from Terra’s Kitchen, which bills itself as a healthy meal-kit delivery service. The company has launched Family Meals, a line of four-serving dishes including pre-prepped and portioned ingredients in a climate-controlled, reusable vessel for easy-to-make recipes that can be prepared in 15 to 30 minutes. The new line expands the variety of Baltimore-based Terra's Kitchen’s menu, which currently offers more than 50 recipes available weekly, including vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, Paleo and low-calorie fare, and encompassing pre-made salads, snacks, smoothies, sides and juices, as well as meals.

The new family-friendly meals are:

• Barbecued Chicken with Summer Tomato-Corn Salad 
• Cheeseburger Pizzas
• Chipotle Chicken and Mango Tacos 
• Lebanese Meatball Wraps
• Pork Carnitas Burrito Bowls (Fast Prep/Slow Cook)
• Italian Shrimp with Tomato-Bacon Gravy and Creamy Polenta

The company’s washed and pre-chopped ingredients comes with a step-by-step recipe card, enabling kids to be more involved in the cooking process. The idea is that bypassing the supermarket and spending time getting meals ready, families can spend more time together.

"I started Terra's Kitchen when I learned I was going to become a father," noted CEO Michael McDevitt. "My vision for the company has always been to provide quick, wholesome meals to allow families to save time in the kitchen and have more quality time connecting around the dinner table."

Terra's Kitchen is also the first sponsor of NPR's “Wow in the World,” a new podcast for 5- to 12-year-old kids on science, technology, discovery and inventions.
