Towards the beginning of last month, I finally got around to trying the Hello Fresh deal I’d gotten on LivingSocial. The delivery came one day when Panda was still out on a business trip, so I saved everything and hoped it would all last in the fridge. Lesson learned: next time freeze the meats right away. I was pretty surprised when it showed up on my doorstep because it wasn’t due until the next day. When it comes to planning for cooking, sometimes that can make a big difference so I sure hope that doesn’t happen all the time. They were right in the middle of changing up their shipping schedule though, so I’ll let this one slide.

Watch the unboxing if you’re interested! (Interested in trying Hello Fresh? Use my referral code to get $20 off your first order: 9CAMJS)

Hello Fresh is just under $70 per box and comes with 3 meals of 2 servings each. That’s less than $12 per meal serving. Boxes are sent weekly unless you choose to skip (which is very easy to do). They offer a referral code that gives $20 off to both the person you referred and for your next order.

It’s a pretty large box!

The inside is well-insulated with a ton of frozen packs to keep things chilled.

I got a nice welcome card, the three recipe cards, and a promo card from one of their partners.

The ingredients for the chicken dish.

The ingredients for the beef dish.

The ingredients for the shrimp dish.

The first dish we decided to cook was the Chili Rubbed Chicken.

It was fun to cook chicken for the first time – I never knew it cooks so fast!

The salad was something I never would have thought to piece together myself.

The final product! Pretty good, eh?

The next night we went for the meatball recipe.

All kinds of stuff I like to eat!

And the end result with a nice mix of veggies and meat.

And finally, it’s shrimp and pasta time!

Oh yum. My first time making pasta with more than just tomato sauce!

I really enjoyed this dish, though I’d probably sub spinach for the peppers next time.

Overall I found all the dishes pretty easy to make, though the instructions assumed a bit more knowledge about cooking than we had. 😛 I enjoyed the shrimp dish the best, partially because I’m a seafood lover and partially because it was the least adventurous dish. While it was cool to try something like the barley avocado salad, I don’t know if I’d ever really look to make it again. I do like that I have more experience under my belt and got to a try a variety of dishes. I’ll definitely get Hello Fresh again, but maybe only once a month or so. Thankfully, they make it really easy to manage deliveries within your account so it’ll be smooth sailing from here.
