As parents of a child under one, we have been exhausted. Everything that would normally take just a few minutes sometimes will take an hour, and just running to the store to grab a gallon of milk seems like a huge endeavor. Over the past several months, in order to try to get ourselves up and out of this craziness that is “new parents syndrome”, we have tried several meal delivery services, and we have been super happy with the results. Here is a great one for you to try with an awesome introductory offer. No, we don’t use these services every day, but using them every 2-4 weeks really gives us the helping hand that we need all the time sometimes.
Blue Apron offers fresh ingredients and a variety in their meals. When I would just throw some chicken in a pan, Blue Apron comes to the rescue with a new catfish recipe, or a new steak meal. Of all of the meal delivery services, Blue Apron is the one that I have ordered the most, just because their pricing is best and their recipes are good. Another thing that I love about Blue Apron is in addition to trying out new ingredients or recipes that you would not normally try, you also get to learn how to work with new ingredients. I have learned about how to work with Tarragon, using biscuits as sandwich bread (wow!), and also made grits for the first time. These new tastes and techniques really spice up the kitchen in our home, and cooking becomes a whole family event. I do have to admit that I LOVE the novelty aspect as well. Here is an example of a box that I recently received from Blue Apron.
Pan Seared Steaks w/Oven Fries and Cherry Tomato & Corn Salad
Crispy Chicken Tenders & Hot Honey, w/Potato Salad & Marinated Cucumber
I really wasn’t expecting much out of this one, but it might have been our favorite. Hubby was trying to find ingredients that same night to remake these because they were so good! The cucumber salad was delicious, and the hot honey was surprisingly good (especially since hubby doesn’t like spicy). The warm potato salad was incredible; I will never make another cold potato salad again! I also really appreciated how easy it was to make the chicken tenders, and had never worked with Matzo Meal before. These had a ton of flavor and were perfectly juicy and cooked.
Sweet & Spicy Beef w/Jasmine Rice & Crispy Shallots
Overall, the recipes are very simple, and since you get a recipe card, you can make your favorites over again (which we have done). The food is cheaper than fast food, and is pretty healthy and balanced. I would recommend the taste of the meals, the quality of the ingredients, as well as the variety in the meals as well. Best of all, they have an introductory offer going on right now! Blue Apron is offering the first three meals free when you order a box, plus free shipping!
