I also combined some steps, which I think helped minimize the cook time. It cooked fairly easily, but it wasn’t our favorite. For this recipe I went right for the app directions and had read the tips earlier in the day, prior to dinner prep. Next up, West African Peanut Chicken with Sautéed Kale and Rice. The other negative was the amount of dishes I had after making this – it was a bit over the top. I’d much prefer something that was a little closer to 30 minutes to prepare and was glad that we had something else for Luke because he’d never last that long waiting for dinner on a weeknight. It took me an hour and 10 minutes from start to plating the meal. Overall, I’d give it a 6 out of 10 for ease of cooking – the time frame was definitely off. The sweet potato wedges were really good and we’ll definitely be making those again – also, portion size with just using one potato – perfect. There was a lot of prep involved in making these and each step took a good bit of time. The beef was already sliced and ready to be seasoned, which was extremely helpful. I like that the portion sizes were perfect for two (Luke ate something else for dinner) we didn’t have leftovers or a lot of waste after preparing the meal. I set my stopwatch on my phone to see how evenly this matched. The Prep Time was 15 mins and the Cook Time said 25-35. The meal card for each meal that came in the box was helpful for pulling all the ingredients out, but after opening the app and reading some of the tips/reviews – I found that the steps and directions within the app were much easier to follow and didn’t have you doing “unneeded” prep. I also downloaded the app to my phone (I highly recommend). I received an email the day before our delivery telling me our box was on the way and it arrived on time.
I was able to preview my menu, switch out meals, and pick the day for our delivery. We had the 3 meals per week for two people, which is priced at $59.99. For those of you that share in our curiosity of “ is it worth it?” here’s your chance to read about our experience and see if you’d like to give it a go. This is our first time trying Blue Apron and a chance to see how well it works for our family versus the normal weekly grocery shopping and (very last minute) dinner choice.
