Blue Apron is 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. An added bonus? All meals can be prepared in 40 minutes or less!
Merri signed up for Blue Apron to improve her cooking skills and she raved about how much she and her husband loved every single meal they made. After trying my first Blue Apron meal with Merri, I signed up for one week of Blue Apron meals myself because I loved the idea of skipping out on some grocery shopping and meal planning. Plus, I wanted to get out of my cooking rut and experiment with different cuisines and ingredients I might otherwise never try!
Ryan actually surprised me with a few weeks of Blue Apron meals for Christmas and I decided to opt for the vegetarian meals to try to help me expand my meatless meal ideas. As many of you already know, I loved this gift and raved about the Blue Apron meals I made on this blog more than a few times! (The white chili with rainbow chard and tri-color quinoa recipe was probably my all-time favorite!)
When Blue Apron reached out to me this month to host a giveaway and try another batch of meals, I was 100 percent on board! From the comments I received on past Blue Apron posts, I know the service interests a bunch of you, so I figured a giveaway would be a great opportunity for someone to try the service for free. (Blue Apron currently delivers ingredients for meals for two, four or six people.)
In the vegetarian box I received last week, I received ingredients for the following three recipes:
- Three Pea Salad with Farro and Goat Cheese
- Trofie Pasta with Golden Garlic
- Roasted Poblano and Quinoa Sopes
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!
The three meals I made this week were all absolutely fantastic. I truly have not made one Blue Apron meal I haven’t adored. The only downer is that sometimes the recipes call for the use of a lot of bowls, pots and pans, so the plethora dishes that are leftover after cooking can be a bit of a pain to clean.
But when you sit down to a fresh and flavorful dinner that was basically planned for you, it’s hard to complain!
I really like the way Blue Apron incorporates cuisines from various cultures (like the Bangaladumpa Upma Koora I made in the past <— so good!) so I feel like I am truly learning about different spices and flavor combinations as I cook. And let me reiterate one more time how delicious these meals taste!
Okay, enough from me! Now it’s your turn to give Blue Apron a try. One PBF reader will win a free week of Blue Apron meals for two!
To enter this giveaway, please pop over to Blue Apron and check out what’s on the menu for this week and leave a comment below telling me which recipe you’d be most excited to create! Please note: This giveaway includes a week of meals for two people. Blue Apron delivers to 80 percent of the United States. In order to win this giveaway, you must live in one of the delivery zones. (A map of the delivery zones may be seen here.) I will randomly select a winner on Friday.
And please don’t worry if you don’t win! The first 250 readers who try Blue Apron will receive two free meals on their first order! To receive this promo, please click here to order.

The salmon burgers look perfect for dinner on the porch!
The Hanger Steaks & Roasted Potatoes look so tasty!
I would love to make the salmon burgers with corn on the cob… My fiance (who is currently deployed to Afghanistan) will be coming home in just a few months and I’ve been testing out a lot of recipes to make him delicious homemade dinners when he gets home. He LOVES burgers (of any type) and I would love to have him try something new and delicious (like these salmon burgers)!
I would try the turkey burger sliders!
Caramelized onion and tomato crostata – yum!! The flavors sound amazing, especially the addition of ripe summer tomatoes!
The Crostata recipe sounds amazing!! This is such a great company I definitely want to give it a try!!
I would love to try the salmon burgers and corn on the cob!! That is definitley a dinner my family would love!
The Parmesan-Basil Chicken Patties sound delicious.
Would love to try the Hanger Steak and potatoes!
I most definitely would eat ALL of these and do it with glee. However, the one I’d probably be most excited about is the Caramelized Onion & Heirloom Tomato Crostata because it’s also the one out of this list that I’d never, ever try on my own. It’s so different from anything I’ve ever made before, I’d be intimidated…. but want to try!
The Caramelized onion crostata looks so delicious!! (But I’m sure my bf would prefer the hanger steak and potatoes!)
Definitely the Parmesan-Basil Chicken Patties. It’s something both me and my husband would enjoy. 🙂
Oh my gosh! how can you choose just one!?!?!?!?! they all look sooo good! I would probably try the hangar steak and potatoes because that would make my husband happiest, but if I was cooking just for my self I would probably try Roasted Veggie Salad over Isreali Couscous because it would be really cool to push my limits and try something I would never think to make on my own.
Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I am excited by the salmon burgers and corn on the cob. But the other person in the house (*cough*cough) probably needs the hanger steak and roasted potatoes. I’m so excited to try this because it might just help me get him to eat healthier and a little bit differently. Thank you for the great giveaway!
Parmesan-Basil Chicken Patties! My mouth is watering!

I would try salmon burgers and corn on the cob. My husband and I love salmon, but corn on the cob — which is probably super easy to make — intimidates me.
Oh wow, this is a good menu! I’m sure my husband would love the chicken patties so I’d want to make those!
the Salmon Burgers & Corn on the Cob with Basil Butter sounds amazing!
I’m torn between the salmon burgers with corn on the cob with basil butter or the roasted vegetable salad over Israeli couscous. Both sound so tasty

The salmon burgers meal looks awesome! I love salmon but haven’t made burgers with it before so that’d be fun for my husband and I to try out.
Okay, I am hungry right now! They all look good! I would pick the Golden Beet Borscht because I love beets, cabbage and turmeric. Yum! Looks ooh-la-la!
The onion & tomato crostata!!
Salmon burger w/ corn on the cob w/ basil butter! Yum! I haven’t had any corn on the cob yet this summer & I definitely need more fish in my diet!
