The big thing right now is meals sent directly to your home with all of the ingredients included with easy-to-follow instructions. I got a big old coupon for Blue Apron last spring, so I decided to try it. I must admit that I didn't love most of the meals, so I stopped the service.
John, however, really enjoyed the idea behind the meals. He has never worked with me in the kitchen, but with the instructions all laid out (even with pictures), he found that he actually enjoyed it. Plus, the meals are rather healthy with lots of lean meat and vegetables. I think it's a good answer to wanting to eat out, but not wanting to pay to eat out.
So when I got another coupon a couple of months ago from the meal-delivery service, HelloFresh, I decided to try it again. And here we are, still receiving deliveries once a week for two meals, and we love it.
In fact, the other night, I was getting ready for everyone to show up for the Turkey Trot, and John headed into the kitchen and made the meal all on his own. He and Mark then split it since I had already used up my points for the day. John did alright, yes?
You can't see it, but there's a tomato onion jam on the top of the burger, and the cheese was cooked (like a cookie) in the oven. Mark downed that burger in less than five minutes. The broccoli took a little bit longer ;-)
Since grocery shopping is my absolute least favorite chore (and since I always seem to come down with a cold within 24-48 hours of visiting the grocery store), this has been a perfect solution for us. Plus, we aren't left with a bunch of leftovers, and I'm not needing to pare down recipes since it's just the two of us.
