I have found a favorite new way to cook. Blue Apron is a subscription service which you can opt in an out of and personalize to your dietary preferences. I initially loved the idea of using fresh and
seasonal produce and learning new recipes but wasn’t sure about the
value. Having someone plan, purchase, and lay everything out for you
sounded like a great time saver, but I haven’t been
leading such a hectic life that I don’t have time to come up with a few
meals and make a weekly trip to the local farmers market and grocery
store. Also, spending $60 eating out or even ordering in for 6 meals (3
dishes of 2 servings) would be a great deal,
but I don’t generally spend that much on home cooked meals.
Earlier this month, I received the chicken schnitzel with watercress, apple, beet and red walnut salad, the shrimp & mustard green laing with jasmine rice, and the orecchiette pasta with roasted cauliflower, capers and garlic breadcrumbs. While the chicken schnitzel was good, the orecchiette pasta was my absolute favorite. I loved that each meal really brought together ingredients which I would not have thought to combine and did so in such a delicious meal. I will definitely continue to use blue apron and encourage you to try it as well. I received a free week of Blue Apron through a friend, but was not contacted or compensated by Blue Apron. I just loved it enough to share!
The orecchiette pasta was my favorite that week too. Blue Apron is so much fun! Now, if only my bank account was unlimited. :)
