Nice and thick…I need to start buying thicker cut bacon. All of the ingredients were incredibly fresh and the bacon was amazing. This recipe was also delicious, and definitely the easiest to prepare (since, you know, we eat BLT’s over here at least once a week). The second meal we tried out was the Classic BLT Sandwiches with Tomato, Avocado, and Cucumber Salad. This dish was my absolute, #1 favorite out of all of them. I was honestly kind of nervous about cooking the fish (no good reason why, just am), but this recipe showed me that it’s not only easy (literally, just let is cook/sear in the pan!), but it’s now something I’m much more willing to try cooking again. Mal and I worked together in the kitchen and we both agreed that this meal was actually much easier to make than I had anticipated. The first meal we made was the Sear ed Salmon and Tomato Chutney with Cranberry Bean and Spinach Stew, and we shared that with our friend/cousins Brian and Mal. Jay and I chose to have 4 servings of each meal delivered so we could have leftovers and/or share the experience with friends to get their feedback as well. All meals are $9.99 per person, they always have free shipping, and there’s no commitment – you can skip or cancel the service at any time.

Luckily, you can choose from a few preferences, so that helped narrow things down a bit.īlue Apron sends you three meals per week, and you can choose if you’d like servings for two, four, or six people. I was honestly a bit nervous when I signed up, since I wasn’t sure what meals would be heading my way and/or if we’d even like them.

The week before our meals were set to arrive (I scheduled ours to be delivered on a Friday – you can choose which day you prefer), I received an email with the menu, which really got me excited. No trips to the grocery store and no waste from unused ingredients. Everything else, right down to the toothpicks for our sandwiches(!) were included. I’m pretty sure the only extra ingredients I needed to use in any of my recipes were a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. If only I could have all of my meals set up for me this way!Īnd they really do send you basically everything you’ll need. The recipes are delivered in a refrigerated box so ingredients will stay fresh even if you’re not at home when your package arrives.Īnd let me tell you…having all of the ingredients you need in the exact proportions is totally amazing. They deliver all the farm-fresh ingredients you need, right to your doorstep, in exactly the right proportions. The thing that really stuck out for me with Blue Apron, as opposed to other meal delivery services, is that they aren’t sending you pre-made meals. I was recently given the opportunity to try out Blue Apron, a meal-delivery service that allows you to create delicious, chef-designed recipes at home. We had some gooood meals over here recently!
