Turkey Kibbeh with Cucumber Salad & Mint-Yogurt Sauce.Flat Iron Steaks with Ramps, Fingerling Potatoes & Shaved Asparagus Salad.Rice Flake-Crusted Hake with Sautéed Daikon Radish & Yuzu-Soy Sauce.Since I love food and cooking, it was kind of like Christmas to open it all up and see all the beautifully packaged ingredients (although I would have liked it if things were divided up by meal, instead of all being mixed together). We got home from the library, and Bart entertained the girls while I started pulling things out of the box. I could just pick one of the three meals out of the box and make it. My first box came on Saturday and when Ella, Star and I were making a library run that afternoon (Bart stayed home with a late-napping Ani), I saw the box on the doorstep and felt an enormous sense of relief that I wouldn’t have to figure out dinner.
I generally spend about $75 a week on groceries, so $60 for three dinners is an enormous chunk out of my grocery bill. The regular cost for this would have been $59.99. I got the plan where you get 3 meals, each of which serves 2 people. I set up my account, put in our preferences, and voila – my box was scheduled to arrive later that week. It took me all of five seconds to accept.
And, frankly, after seeing some of the things people got in their boxes, I wondered if I would actually eat them.įortunately, my neighbor is a Blue Apron subscriber (she loves it!) and when I asked her about it, she offered to give me a free week trial, which is apparently something you can do after you’ve been a subscriber for a while. I liked the concept, but I was hung up on two main things – the cost (which runs about $9-10 per person, per meal) and whether or not my children would actually eat the meals. Every week you get a box with all the ingredients and instructions to make 2-3 dinners. If you’ve somehow avoided the onslaught of paid reviews, the gist is that Blue Apron is a meal planning and delivery service.
