I almost turned down an offer of free food for a week. Sometimes, I am an idiot.

I was stuck on the “I am a mom, therefore a martyr” mentality that has been my curse lately.

Thankfully, I came to my senses rather quickly.

What <a href="http://www.thefreshdiet.com/mommies/">The Fresh Diet </a>offered me was a week of food delivered to my front door daily – that is tempting enough, but the kicker is that this is real food, prepared simply with ingredients I could recognize. Here's something you need to know about me: I like to cook because I can control exactly what goes into my food and what it tastes like. But you also need to know that I'm tired! Planning three meals a day, every day, gets tiresome, and after I make sure my family is fed, sometimes I'm too tired to make sure I eat. So I end up eating as I cook, which leaves me feeling full but unsatisfied. This was a chance to get back to a more civilized way of eating. Yes, I still have to cook for the rest of my family, but knowing that my meals were taken care of was nothing short of fantastic.

I went on the site and signed up – before you choose your meals you tell them if you have any food dislikes. I pretty much eat everything (as long as its real food) so I didn't need this tool, but it's there for picky eaters. Then you are presented with your choices for the days you have signed up for and you pick from a variety of entrees. Click, click, click and you're done. I learned a little something about myself – I eat a lot of carbs. I don't subscribe to the “carbs are evil” mentality, but when the system gently nudged me to choose a few less carbs I played along to see what it would be like on the lower carb side. It was fine. I mean, I still eat bread at almost every meal – but I missed the carbs less than I thought I would.

As I waited for my meals to arrive, I started to worry about the actual food. What would it look like? What would it taste like? Here's what was delivered to me on the very first day:

Looks great, doesn't it? Please note that I took all these photos with my iPhone, and that I added nothing to style the photos. I just put them on a plate and took a quick snap before eating. The first day left me very impressed and I couldn't wait to see what they'd deliver tomorrow. Did I mention that nothing is frozen? Your meals are delivered fresh...ready to heat and eat. That makes a huge difference in the taste. I have to say, my lunch salad was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious.
