Many of us love cooking and eating at home, but sometimes it’s difficult to plan ahead and make the meals we really want and need.
This never-ending time-crunch can cause us to eat at odd times, or simply just eat unhealthy quick meals that aren’t entirely satisfying.
A solution to this situation has arrived in recent years in the form of food prep and delivery services – and YVR has quite a few.
