Joe Knows Healthy Food

We're back with our Kitchen-renowned Butternut Squash Enchiladas, All Star Healthy Joes, and Family Fav Polenta Pizza next week (shovels optional).  And, YES, we will be delivering on Monday!  We'll be rockin' out this weekend in the kitchen to help you get back on track after the Memorial Holiday weekend.


Do you have picky eaters at home?  Don't be a short order cook!  To satisfy everyone and get a little more variety, try our Healthy Joes ~ 3 Ways!  


1.  Mediterranean Joe Sandwich:  grab a bun, scoop out some Joe, and sprinkle a bit of feta cheese on top.  For a great home-made vegan feta (ready in 5 minutes), try this one:


Ingredients:  
1 pkg Central Soy Garlic Herb Tofu
2 tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp vegan parmesan cheese (optional)
1/2 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)


Super Simple Steps:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Crumble tofu with your hands and mix in additional ingredients.
3. Bake for 5-7 minutes, tossing once to avoid crispiness

2.  Taco Joes:  fill a row of corn tortillas with our Healthy Joes, then add lettuce, tomatoes, Daiya cheddar cheese, and optional guac.


3.  Healthy Joe Salad:  on a bed of crispy romaine, toss Healthy Joes in with your favorite salad dressing.  (Hey, Joe already has corn, carrots, tomatoes, and peppers - you're just getting extra credit if you want to add in your own veggies.)

We Quit...

That's right...exactly one year ago, we quit the corporate rat race and the nice warm security blanket of a steady paycheck.

After trading in dress shirts for organic cotton tee's and high heels for flip flops, we've been serving up delicious healthy meals and delivering RESULTS!  Here are just a few of the things YOU have said about us this past year:

“Thank you Conveniently Natural.  We love the food. My wife has had acid reflex problems for years and has taken medication for it which is very expensive. She hasn't had to take any medicine for the last 3 weeks [since ordering your food].  We appreciate how affordable your food is and I also definitely feel the benefit of eating this food.”

David A., Blue Springs, MO

“I love the food and service that your company provides.  Once the school year starts, I will be working full-time and going to school full-time, three nights per week.  There is no way I could create the delicious meals I now enjoy and be successful in the rest of my life too. . .It is just such a treat for me, that after a long day at the office, I can come home and have dinner ready in 5-10 minutes with no messy kitchen to clean up afterwards.  It makes me feel super-spoiled, almost like I’m eating out every night, but without the expense of dining out.  Thanks for making my life easier and healthier.”

Mae O., Kansas City, MO

"It is as if you guys read my mind - to have delicious organic prepared food delivered to my home  - in suburbia Kansas no less - wow!  This must be what it feels like to be Oprah!  Thanks so much."

Shelley H., Olathe, KS

"I'm munching down on some yummy BBQ and Buttery Mashed Cauliflower for lunch.  How lovely to have life delivered!"

Diane G., Lawrence, KS
