I had no idea how crazy my schedule was going to be when I started working again. As a result, we began eating the same meals week after week or end up ordering takeout for dinner. I feel guilty sometimes for not being able to cook healthy meals for my family, plan meals weekly, or even just shop for groceries without forgetting a thing on my list. My mother who had 5 kids was able to do this and more! How did she do it? Am I the only one struggling with this? These are the questions I ask myself when I'm about to order my 2nd takeout dinner of the week.
So you can just imagine my excitement and joy when I was invited to try Blue Apron. Without thinking twice, I jumped at the opportunity! If you are not familiar with Blue Apron, it's a subscription that delivers chef-tested delicious recipes complete with farm-fresh and high-quality ingredients directly to your doorstep. The only thing that's left for you to to do is to cook all the meals. I can definitely do that!
With Blue Apon, for the first time in a very long time, I was cooking at home, and my family was actually eating the food. We were trying new recipes and using new ingredients. The recipe cards were easy to follow, all the meals can be prepared in 40 minutes or less, and most importantly all the meals were delicious!
Another thing I did not expect but I truly enjoyed was the willingness of my child to help me in the kitchen. It became a great after-school bonding experience for us. He was also more enthusiastic about trying the food since he helped cook it!
Here's a short video of the fun we had cooking with Blue Apron.
