Blue Apron Meals -2

I received my Blue Apron meal again a few weeks ago. This time it was Mexican-Style Tortas, Crispy Catfish, and Steaks and Roasted Potatoes. All of the food was super delicious and definitely something that I could make on my own if I was not the cook that I am! HA!!

I have to say that my favorite was the tortas. They were so delicious and paired with avocado made it even more yummy. The bread was super fresh and soft, I had to make a panini press using two pans.....note to self, get a panini maker......but it was still super good. 

The steaks and potatoes were very well seasoned. My husband loved the steaks. He even raved about them the next day to some friends. When he does this I know it had to be good. 

The catfish was good, but not my favorite. I am not a big fan of catfish. It tastes a little too fishy to me. I don't even really like fried catfish. I know I love my southern food and catfish it pretty high up there on the southern food list, but it's just not my favorite fish. The dish overall was pretty good. 

Will I keep doing Blue Apron? 

-Maybe. Maybe not. It's not a bad price for the amount of food you get. The ingredients are fresh and it keeps me from going to the grocery store and spending a fortune every week on fresh produce and meat. I like how everything is prepackaged and all I have to do is wash off a few veggies and chop. I might try doing this on a Sunday food prep day instead of after work. Then on the days I work, everything is done for me. We shall see.

Blue Apron Meals

I had a friend tell me about Blue Apron Meals. It is this awesome company that sends packaged ingredients straight to your door step with step by step instructions on how to put it all together and make a meal. The meals are super fresh and nutritious. P-diddy gave me a coupon for a few bucks off, so of course I had to try it.

 How it Works

Blue Apron sends you three meals in portions of two or four depending on your preference and family size. I picked 2 because I knew we could share with our little one. The meals are a little different depending on which portion you decide on. They ask you a few questions when you sign up, such as meat or vegetarian, and any allergies or special preferences you may have. Afterwards they give you a list of 5 different meals to choose from. You pick three, some of the meals cannot be added together, and then within a week, the meals are sent straight to your door. 

Here is What I Received

The first meal was Squid Ink Pasta with Shrimp. This was absolutely delicious. The noodles and shrimp were super fresh and the basil on top was the "icing on the cake." We had squid ink pasta in New York, so we knew we would like this dish. No, the noodles do not taste like fish. They use the squid ink to dye the noodles that color. They taste just like regular, fresh, noodles. 

The next meal was Stuffed Poblano Peppers. People!!! This was my favorite meal. First you make the stuffing which consisted of pepitas, rice, hamburger, onions, currants, and some spices. You roast the peppers, then split them, de-seed them and then stuff with the mixture. It was delicious. 

Once it is done, the peppers are topped with a yummy cilantro cream sauce. Delicious! 

I really liked Blue Apron. The directions were super easy to follow and the food was really good. Throughout the directions they tell you to add salt and pepper and I would definitely taste each time I did this. I like seasonings so I wanted to make sure all of the food was seasoned enough to my family's liking.
