So, you've received your meal kit delivered to your door. You open the box and pull out the colorful recipe card and one by one, you unpack the pre-portioned ingredients. It all looks fresh, hand packaged, and ready to start cooking. The meal looks incredible on the photo. All is well until you pull out the tiny packets of spices. The spices are basic.  You can't wait to make this hassle-free home-cooked meal. Seeing the same basic spices can put you into a rut. Each meal tastes the same. Make your weeknight dinners pop and impress your friends when you add a little kick to the recipe.

Learning to cook meals from scratch is no longer a chore. Meal kits make it easier to help busy folks, unskilled cooks, or cooking for one simpler. There's nothing better than a home-cooked meal. The beautiful thing about meal kits is that almost anyone can learn to become a gourmet chef overnight, or at least impress friends and family with newly found cooking skills. 

Meal kits provide something for everyone. Vegan, and vegetarian meals, to gluten-free and allergen-friendly, to seafood and gourmet style meals prepared in less than thirty minutes. There is nothing wrong with following your meal kit directions step-by-step and cooking your meals as directed. Kudos to you if you are happy with the results. If you are more adventurous then perhaps you might try something a little different the next time your meal kit arrives at your door.  

If you follow the instructions to a tee, you might end up with a boring meal. Why not take your meal-kit to the next level. 

1. Marinate your meat chicken or veggies in hot sauce. 

2. Use sauce at the end to splash on. 

3. Add it to the pan while cooking.
