Ipsa ($3 and up, per serving)
As your child graduates from requiring their sandwiches to be cut in triangles (not squares), their tastes may align more with yours. Ipsa brings restaurant-style meals to your kitchen table, and Pasquariello loves that families can enjoy ordering together.
"Their categories make the kit selection process fun and interactive, and you get an immediate sense of the high-quality ingredients going into the meals you'll be enjoying," she says.
Bestsellers include ragu bolognese, beef and kimchi stew, and a pesto pizza. For people with wide age gaps, worry not. Ipsa has a kids' menu with approachable offerings like pepperoni pizza cups and teriyaki turkey meatballs. It's also flexible. Unlike other kits, Ipsa doesn't require a subscription, making it ideal for people not ready to commit.
