Blue Apron is a weekly meal subscription service. They’ll provide you with all the ingredients that you need to make a delicious meal in exactly the right proportions. They offer a 2-person plan which includes 3 meals per week for $59.94/week or a Family Plan which serves four people and includes two recipes ($69.92/week) or 4 recipes ($139.84/week) per week. I received the 2-person plan which included two servings of three different recipes.
All Blue Apron deliveries arrive in a refrigerated box which keeps the food fresh so you don’t even need to be home to accept delivery. It drives my husband crazy, but I like to let the boxes sit outside even when I am home to really check how fresh they stay. I left this one on the porch in the sun (it was about 80 degrees out) for a few hours after it was delivered and everything was still perfectly chilled on the inside.
Each week Blue Apron allows subscribers to choose three of their featured six recipes for the week (for Family Plans you have four recipes for the week) to choose from. Here is what we selected for our June 3rd delivery:
~Spiced Lamb & Beef Tagine with Lemon-Garlic Couscous & Labneh: I think this was my favorite meal of the bunch. Since it’s called “Spiced Lamb & Beef Tagine” I expected it to be a little spicy, but it wasn’t at all. If anything, I would have liked it to have a little more kick to it! It was delicious though and I loved the sauce that was with it.
~Chicken Piccata with Fusilli Pasta& Garlic Chives: I don’t think I have ever had Chicken Piccata with anything other than rice before, but it’s really good with pasta. Really good. All of the recipes took the stated prep time and cook time this delivery too. I feel like with some boxes the time is understated, but that wasn’t the case here.
~Lemon-Butter Salmon with Creamy Barley & Zucchini Salad: The lemon-butter salad was good, but the creamy barley and zucchini salad? OMG. Amazing. I want to have that with dinner every night! I really can’t think of a main dish that this wouldn’t be good with. I never would have made this on my own, but it’s a new favorite now.
This Blue Apron delivery was one of my favorites. We will be making every single one of the meals again this summer. They were all delicious and super convenient!
