The Southwestern BBQ food box. One box with all the ingredients necessary to make dinner for a family of four for five nights. That's 20 meals!!

Spend some time on the weekend to braise some chicken, cook up some beans, make rice, and whip up a fresh pico de gallo. These are the building blocks to create tasty meals like Burrito Bowls, Southwestern BBQ Salad, or Stuffed Sweet Peppers that come together in under 30 minutes.

SNACK started as a result of the volunteer work Louis Goral and Amit Saha were doing at Food Gatherer's Community Kitchen. We were tasked with developing recipes that were
1) delicious
2) diverse
3) nutritious
4) easily assembled by volunteers with varying levels of culinary expertise
5) created from scratch within one or two hours to feed 120+ people

The idea was to reduce (if not eliminate) reliance on processed foods that are laden with preservatives, high amounts of salt, sugar and fat, and other ingredients with little to no nutritional value.

We created salad dressings from scratch instead of using jugs of commercial dressings. We developed recipes incorporating flavors from places like India and China. We create spice mixes and sauces that could quickly be added to simple ingredients to create dishes like the ones pictured here - Indian butter chicken or homestyle chicken pot pie.

We realized that there other populations that could benefit from such an approach. Busy families often succumb to frozen lasagna or take out pizza because they don't have the time, knowledge or money to create healthy meals. SNACK was born out of that realization.
