It's one of those days. You long for the lightness of veggies stir fried, the moist but slightly dry shreds of chicken cooked correctly with not so much salt and oil not butter, the delightful surface-level desiccation of something minimally oiled and oven-roasted. But today you want that home-cooked charm without having to cook it.
Enter Doordash with a bag full of Great Full Gardens. Straightforward, wholesome food that tastes like you could have made it...if you were an excellent cook. Simple and often understated, plates packed with veggies and fruit, mostly, if not all organic. Food so approachable, so utterly relatable that it all sounds a bit boring, but in this case, boring isn't bad.
You get straightforward meals like the Teriyaki Bowl, a sauce-sweetened protein on a base of brown rice. There's no shortage of mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, and broccoli, and the pineapple rings on top are the best. It's the kind of thing you'd make after a farmer's market forage if you had either the time or inclination.
The Stuffed Shrooms are not something I would normally make, but these leave me inspired. Portobello caps are always awesome, and my first encounter with Gardein makes me forget that these have no meat. They really do season it impressively well. Add some melted cheese to glue down the carrots and microgreens, and we have a winner.
This is the most legit Grilled Cheese I've ever had anywhere. Hot, fluffy, sourdough bun-bread makes a 4-cheese hoagie, perfectly toasted, spread with a rich aioli. Grilled cheese is usually something you get for your kids, but this one is fully adult.

I really like this place. Great-tasted everyday food made with fantastic ingredients so everything tastes like a farmer's market. Fine dining it is not, but for healthy homemade comfort it delivers every time.
