It’s so much fun to go play at the beach. One of my favorites is this quiet little stretch in Malibu, where I used to go when I wanted a tranquil area. Once I saw some dolphins swimming by and it was magical. I went to visit it again back over Thanksgiving break and had sooo much fun! I mean, just look at the gleefulness with which I am frolicking and playing there. It was such a blast. Why didn’t I go to the beach more when I lived in LA? Ah, now that I’m in the bitter cold of winter in NoVa, I lament the time I could have spent enjoying those beaches. It’s so great to be able to go there and look out over the ocean, play in the sand, appreciate the environment.

Blue Apron November 5th Delivery review

As I suspected, it took me a month to get around to posting up the meals from our second Blue Apron delivery! I’ll try to be more prompt with future food boxes. We’ve found our now-favorite dish (sweet & sour BBQ drumsticks) and got to try a really tasty salad and fun tacos. Another pleasing box that keeps Blue Apron as the front-runner in my mind. Still, I like what Hello Fresh offers at times and will still split my time between the two. Might even try Plated or another subscription!
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).
We started off with a fun meal!
Cooking this one was pretty easy and it smelled great.
YUM! We both LOVED this dish and would definitely make it again. It’s Panda’s fav so far.
Next up was a more adventurous taste for us. What’s kohlrabi anyway?
I wasn’t sure what sort of flavor the salad would yield since there were a ton of strange ingredients.
Turns out I happen to find apple-kohlrabi slaw deeelicious beyond expectation. The pork chops were meh.
Finally, finishing up with a messier dish!
So colorful! Prettiest array so far.
The corn tortillas were a bit dry and thick for us and the fish got lost in all the toppings (we went crazy with them, admittedly).
Lol! Couldn’t resist putting ALL the toppings on and smothering the tacos. I actually tried the mango for once. Decent!
