What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Tonight I had Indian Butter chicken, Pilau Rice, and mini coriander Naan breads...

We started using a dinner delivery service called Hello Fresh. Tonight we had Beef Tenderloins with vegetables and mashed potatoes. We skipped adding the cheese to the potatoes and the meat took longer to cook than the recipe had predicted but the results were wonderful. I should have taken a picture of the actual dish but I was too hungry to wait.

I’ve often wondered about this service. The food looks good, easy tp prepare because the prep is all done for you, but isn’t it kind of expensive? (As compared to running down to the store, buying the food and prepping it yourself)
I guess we are lucky that my husband andI still CAN get to a store. I know there are MANY who can’t and this is a wonderful alternative for them.
somebody was thinking! 😊. Do you have to buy a certain amount of the food? Do you get to pick out the kinds of food you like? And it actually comes fresh and not frozen??

Needless to say I am not the person you should be speaking to - my wife handles everything up to but not including spooning the food into my mouth. I do know that initially we used introductory coupons to get started and see if we liked it. Also:

  • It does not come frozen - it is packed with sealed blocks of some kind of frozen non-toxic fluid
  • You pick what you want to eat
  • When my son was home we ordered four meal units (which were more expensive) but with him at college we now order the 2 meal deals
  • As for price and minimum orders I will pass that on later after I speak with my wife and get more details.

Thanks!!!! (saves me the trouble of actually looking into it myself...I’m lazy that way 😂😉)
 
Here is what I learned from my wife:

  • She is very happy with the service - great website and when there were problems a real person helped us out (one meal replaced mango with pineapple - we mentioned it in passing and got the whole meal for free)
  • You have to prepare and cook the meal but my wife likes this part too - the meals are interesting and the instructions are clear.
  • minimum 2 meals per week - advanced order on-line; cannot edit order after the Monday before the next week's delivery
  • setup parameters on-line (meat-veggie; veggie; family friendly; smart calorie); if you don't choose meals they will be randomly picked for you.
  • you can skip weeks
  • cost - our three unit (two meal) orders (6 meals total) run between $65-$90 a week. Cost factors are meat dishes are more expensive; add-ons raise the price. But, save time (no shopping); no waste (no throwing out old supermarket purchased food); fun to cook and eat interesting dishes.
  • I think it's worth a try - it may not be for everyone but it fits our lifestyle nicely - hope this helps.

It did!!! And it’s not as expensive as I thought it would be!!! Thank you and Mrs rcleary for the info💕
 
I made a hearty veg soup the other night; added beans, farfalle, spinach, tomatoes to the usual. Topped w/ Parmigiana. Lasted 2 nights.

Tonight I ate popcorn, but had a roast beef sandwich for breakfast/brunch.
