So I decided I need a change. I'm tired of dreading cooking and food. For while now I have been hearing about all these companies that will send you recipes and the food. They do the meal planning for you. So two weeks ago I decided to take the plunge. I was frustrated with our food situation again and that day I had gotten a coupon in the mail to try one of those services out and I decided to go for it.
I went with Blue Apron. They were the ones who sent me the coupon so they are the lucky ones we are trying first. I have heard some good thing about this company so I was all a go. We went with the three meals a week program and after planning for the first delivery I was really excited about what was to come the next week.
When I got my delivery on Wednesday I opened the box and it smelled delicious. And for the first time in months I was excited about cooking.
Our first night we went with the Greek Pizza and it was delicious. Rob wasn't as in love with it as I was although he still liked it. I really liked it. I even had enjoyed the olives on it and I hate olives - granted the olive pieces were tiny but it still add an extra taste that I really enjoyed.
The next night we had Crispy Cod Tacos which was completely new to me. I had never had cod. I didn't know if it was a really fishy fish or if what it tasted like. I hadn't even really had a radish before. I love that this gives me a chance to try things I might not normally try and learn to cook more things. These were pretty good. The cabbage mix I made had a little more spice than I would have liked but I was surprised to learn that cod really wasn't bad at all.
Our third meal was Spring Chicken Fettuccine. This one probably most resembled one I would chose when I am looking for a new and different meal to try. It was pretty good. The rosemary was a bit strong for me but otherwise it was a really good.
I enjoyed trying new things and cooking new things. Opening that box was seriously delicious and for the first time I was excited about cooking. I was even good with cooking on a Saturday because I enjoyed doing it for the first time which is something I hadn't done in a long time. It was fun and the food was good. I look forward to another week of new meals next week!
xo, B
