Today I am teaming up with Blue Apron, a service that sends you all of the fresh ingredients you need to make three delicious meals a week for $9.99 per person per meal (with free shipping).
All ingredients are delivered right to your doorstep in a refrigerated box and come with three chef-designed recipes that are easy to follow thanks to beautiful pictures of each step of the recipe.
I first tried Blue Apron last year at my friend Merri’s apartment in New York City. She opened my eyes to the service and I was immediately impressed with the delicious bowl of udon noodle soup we made with the ingredients provided to her through her Blue Apron subscription. Merri initially signed up to try to help her expand her cooking skills and try new recipes, spices and foods.
Fast forward to Christmas last year and Ryan gave me four weeks of Blue Apron meals for Christmas! He heard me rave about it when I returned from New York City and I had a great time making some fabulous meals I never would’ve thought to put together on my own. I obviously think Blue Apron makes a fabulous gift for any food-lover during the holiday season! (We gave a one-month subscription to Ryan’s grandma last year as a birthday gift,too!)
Past Blue Apron Favorites:
Trofie Pasta with Golden Garlic
Three Pea Salad with Farro and Goat Cheese
White Chili with Meyer Lemon, Rainbow Chard and Tricolor Quinoa <— Amazing recipe!!
Blue Apron ingredients are fresh and sourced from quality local suppliers and artisans and come packaged with labels so you can easily identify which ingredient you need for each recipe. The preparation, cooking and eating is up to you!
I am a big fan of choosing the vegetarian option because it encourages me to try new meat-free meals, all of which we have absolutely loved, but this time around I decided to select vegetarian meals but also said I would be okay with chicken and seafood as well.
I ended up with the following three delicious dishes:
Chicken Schnitzel with Watercress, Apple, Beet & Red Walnut Salad
Orecchiette Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower, Capers & Garlic Breadcrumbs
Shrimp and Mustard Green Laing with Jasmine Rice
Ryan and I thought all three were fabulous but the Shrimp Laing was a standout! It was so incredibly flavorful and reminded me of a coconut-based soup you’d order at a gourmet restaurant.
So delicious!
