Eat Healthy the Easy Way with The Organic Supper Club

Have you noticed how you don’t get together with even your closest friends anymore?

It’s because we’re all so crazy busy with our schedules spread out across the entire day – and night. So things that we used to spend time doing – grocery shopping and cooking – has gone out the window and now we eat with one hand while typing on our phone with the other.

But it can be challenging to find prepared food that:

1. Tastes good and

2. Is good for you.

That’s why if you’re in the Toronto area, you should get yourself signed up with The Organic Supper Club.

Founded and run by Jessica Esposito & Eddie Orso, everything they use is natural and organic. Their entire menu is vegan, organic and they also offer many gluten free and allergen-free options. And if you’re looking for something even more personalized, they’ll create a menu for you and just you!

They also provide fantastic services such as a personal chef, home and office delivery, their “One Week Vegan” program, workplace lunch delivery and special occasion meals.
The couple has a ‘no junk’ ingredient policy, which  means they “will not use an ingredient that can’t be eaten on it’s own.” Jessica and Eddie believe that “If you follow that rule, you will be free of chemicals, preservatives and other junk that seems to make it’s way onto the grocery shelf.” They also strongly believe that “there is a way to eat right.” This means “natural foods, grown without chemicals, the freshest possible vegetables, sweets free of refined sugars, ingredients sourced locally when possible, and food prepared in small batches by hand.”

The prepared meals and dishes have their ingredients listed on the containers so you know everything that’s in your food and they have extensive menus that include everything from breakfast items to dessert.

I tried their  Three Been Chili with Pineapple, which isn’t one of those thick, stomach stretching conconctions that you might be used to. Huge chunks of tomato and pineapple play off of pinto, white, and black beans kidney beans, sautéed garlic and onions  in a thin broth that makes it almost a tomato stew. What I like about it is that there is a ton of heat – they’re not afraid of spices here – and that they”ve used a lot of cumin (it’s a cumin-infused tomato sauce with rice vinegar and chipotle peppers), making it feel very exotic and far removed from “regular” chili.

Their Fiesta 7-Layer Dip employs cashews and brazil nuts to act as the “cheese”  and sour “cream” making it perfect for vegans and vegetarians. Thick refried beans, guacamole tomatoes, spices and green onions are  layered underneath. With blue corns chips, it makes for quite a filling snack, or paired with soup or salad, a hearty meal.

There are many dishes to choose from. So if you are short on time, but want healthy, nutritious, organic food, order from The Organic Supper Club.
