We usually stick to the basics – salmon, shrimp and canned tuna – when we shop for seafood. Sorry the photo isn’t prettier I was hungry!īlue Apron reintroduced us to cod. We tried three meals: Chicken Wedge Salad with Crisp Apple, Walnuts and Lemon-Blue Cheese Dressing Minute Steaks with Picadillo-Style Sauce and Pan-Seared Cod with Soy-Maple Glaze, Baby Bok Choy & Rice Noodles. Our family of two adults and a toddler enjoyed three meals of two servings apiece, and each day we still had leftovers.

What’s far-and-away the best part about the service? Mise en place is done for you. That’s a valuable service in itself. If I had room to store the box, I would’ve kept it as a cooler for a party, but I gave it away on Freecycle the next day, and the person who picked it up found the ice pack at the bottom was still cold! Perfectly portioned protein! There are layers of recyclable/reusable insulation within a cooler-sized box, and the proteins are nestled at the bottom with a serious honkin’ (that’s a technical term, by the way) ice pack.

The delivery box itself is a wonder to behold. Cost: $9.99 per person per meal.Įverything you need – even all-purpose flour! – is in the box that’s delivered right to your door by FedEx (shipping is included in the price). The concept – and I’m drawing my own conclusion here based on my experience – is for people who love to cook and try new dishes, but don’t have the time or imagination to plan or shop for meals. That’s why I recently signed up for a free trial for Blue Apron, a weekly (or on-demand) meal delivery service.

In the kitchen, as in life, it’s always fun to try something new. (Unless you’re reading this because you’re my husband thank you for supporting my passions, honey!) But I digress. Well, if you don’t, you probably aren’t reading Every Food Fits.
