You know those annoying marketing posts that appear on your Facebook wall uninvited? I have to say… they must be pretty effective, because one of those ads caught my eye one day.
It was a food delivery service. Yes, it’s always the food that gets me. haha. They ship weekly boxes of fresh ingredients complete and pre-measured for you to cook each meal! Interesting, eh? No shopping for ingredients and no waste. (However, there is quite a bit of packing materials to get rid of in each shipment, which is one concern.)
I had to try it.
So… a week later, the UPS man delivered the first box to me. In his words:
“I gotta tell ya, this stuff must be really catching on! I’m delivering so many of these boxes!”
Hmmm… go figure!
I looked inside the boxes and became somewhat skeptical of the freshness of the produce, but I gave it a go. Here are the two meals I made… and they actually were easy and fun to make:
The meals were healthy, had good-sized portions, and very tasty!!
After some research, I find that Hello Fresh is not the only company to offer this service. And since I always like to keep my options open, I am trying a second company named Blue Apron.
I will let you know which I like better! 🙂
