Home Chef, a meal solutions brand with a presence online and in retail, and Skinnytaste, the recipe and cookbook franchise founded by chef Gina Homolka, have partnered to create 12 simple and well-balanced meals to kick off the new year. For a limited time, Home Chef will feature three rotating Skinnytaste recipes each week, and two in-store Classic Meal Kits will be available at Kroger Family of Stores nationwide.
The 12 recipes were co-created for different dietary preferences and needs such as sodium sensible, calorie conscious, and vegetarian.
"At the start of a new year, we know people often set resolutions around cooking and meal choices such as trying to cook more at home, eating more balanced meals or learning new cooking skills," said Shira Schwarz, senior director of marketing, Home Chef, in a statement. "That's why we're thrilled to launch our latest collaboration with Gina, so customers can start the year with Skinnytaste recipes that make eating well feel easier and don't sacrifice flavor, quality or convenience."
Over the next four weeks, eight new Skinnytaste recipes will be made available, including Latin-Style Steak with Onions and Tomatoes, Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas, Sesame Tofu Rice Bowls and Oven-Ready Crispy Chicken Piccata. Four returning meals, such as Basil-Parmesan Crusted Salmon and Shrimp Scampi with Broccoli Orzo, will be featured on the Skinnytaste menu as well.
"I heard the overwhelming feedback from my community and fans about my collaboration with Home Chef last year, and I'm excited to introduce my newest recipe lineup which includes more meal options each week," said Gina Homolka, in a statement. "Featuring 12 carefully crafted recipes, I hope our co-created meals inspire people to prepare fresh, delicious and simple meals their whole family will love. Plus, new for this launch, people can order multiple Skinnytaste meals from Home Chef's online menu each week and find our meal kits in local Kroger grocery stores, making simple, well-balanced and delicious meals even more accessible."
