Back to catching up on these reviews… it feels like I just made some of these meals a few weeks ago, but holy cow, it’s been 8 months?! I’ve brought back some of these recipes on my own, which has been fun. (Interested in trying Hello Fresh? Use my referral code to get $40 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 $40 off to the person you referred and $20 off your next order.

The exterior box changed to a new design.

The theme of the month was Italy, with dishes inspired from different parts of the country.

We went for the steak first and I found that I really like roasted tomatoes!

Tons of herbs and drizzles of oil in this.

Delicious final product that I quite enjoyed.

Then it was time to try a recipe by Emeril.

Pretty simple meal with minimal ingredients, but a bunch of flavors.

I like fish and rice, so this was good. I probably would try more veggies though.

Finally, it was tortilla soup time. I’m a fan of soup and the taste of chunks of avocado inside.

Soup is fun since you get to throw a bunch of things in the pot. Forgot to take a picture of the final product, which was a little more watery than I would have wanted.

Apparently there’s a show so that’s why one of the recipes was Emeril’s.

All in all, solid dishes that I’d tweak a little do my own thing with. I’ve already done more roasted tomatoes, since they’re so simple and I quite enjoyed that.

Hello Fresh July 2 Delivery review

Whoa, I can hardly believe it’s been a year and a half since we started getting these boxes. I somehow totally slacked on reviews and didn’t do any of our 2014 ones! So here we go, a look at some of the dishes that we once cooked. This delivery came because I forgot to keep pausing and I happened to forget to do the same for Blue Apron at the same time, so we suddenly had TWO boxes to cook, right before our weekend trip to Pittsburgh! Luckily we planned it out and cooked & ate like crazy for a few days. (Interested in trying Hello Fresh? Use my referral code to get $40 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 $40 off to the person you referred and $20 off your next order.

We cooked this one right before leaving for the weekend.

It’s relatively simple and just takes some time for the sauce and baking.

I enjoyed the sauce and would want to try it with drumsticks in the future, since I don’t like eating around all that bone.

As soon as we returned from the weekend, we set to making the other two dishes.

I liked the concept of a patty stuffed with cheese, though it didn’t quite ooze the way I imagined.

The sliders were tasty, but the potato salad was odd.

Yum, more shrimp skewers! The Blue Apron box had a similar offering.

I somehow neglected to take many photos (must have been too distracted with the slider ones).

I like the combo of skewer, rice, and pineapple salsa.

These dishes were well-curated and certainly made me feel like it was time for a summer barbeque. We’ll have to bring out some of these recipes as the warm weather arrives again!

In mid-October, we got this box from Hello Fresh after a few weeks of paused deliveries passed and I forgot to continue to pause. It worked out well though, since I think it’s nice to get one of these boxes once a month or so. (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.

We start off with the dish that we’re most familiar with.

It was pretty easy to prepare.

I think I would have liked it a bit more saucy.

Next up was a salad I wasn’t too thrilled about.

Pretty straightforward and all you need to cook is the chicken.

I tried but just couldn’t finish it. Not my type of salad I guess.

Finally, it’s seafood time!

I’ve started to enjoy vegetables like squash and zucchini.

I loved the chicken stock in the couscous and then getting some salmon and zucchini in the mix!

The beef bolognese wasn’t all that exciting, but it’s a nice dish to have. I wasn’t into the salad and ended up barely eating a few bites. The salmon with couscous was definitely my favorite and I gobbled it right up! That’s one dish I’d make again. What do you think of these recipes?
