Not long after trying Hello Fresh, I decided I wanted to check out some of the other fresh food boxes out there, so I got Blue Apron. Overall I think their style is more suited to our taste, though we’re going to have to try more boxes to really decide.

Blue Apron is just under $60 per box and comes with 3 meals of 2 servings each. That’s $10 per meal serving! Boxes are sent weekly unless you choose to skip (which is very easy to do). After ordering a few times, they will offer free meals you can send to friends (but no referral program).

Everything was packaged very well and I loved the cute label for the little items: Knick Knacks.

We started off with the turkey chili recipe, great for a cold night.

Prepping all the veggies!

Bit by bit, we added ingredients to the pot and let it simmer.

Fantastic finished product! So yum that I recreated it soon after.

Next up was the Asian style ginger beef stir fry.

I let the meat sit in the freezer for a few min as recommended and it was easier to cut into thinner slices (but my fingers were numb after).

Yummy final product!

Last up was the salmon and fennel two ways.

Chop, chop, chop!

Cooking the salmon and cauliflower.

Loooved the cauliflower steak and salmon, but the fennel salad was too strong for me.

I absolutely loved the first two dishes, even though they included ingredients I normally wouldn’t have thought I’d enjoy! The flavor pairings were perfect for my taste preferences. For the salmon dish, I really enjoyed the salmon and cauliflower steak. I’ve since made more cauliflower steak and I love how simple it is, yet how much pleasure I get from consuming it. The fennel salad was suuuper fragrant and I just couldn’t get it down. Otherwise, all these dishes were fantastic. I look forward to my next delivery, which actually happens to arrive tomorrow! You’ll probably hear about it in a month, haha. 😛
