For Christmas my dad got my mom an awesome gift which was a subscription to Blue Apron. This nifty little subscription sends you a few meals a week right to your door step. Here's the fun part though- you get to prepare them yourselves! They send you all the ingredients and the exact amount of ingredients that you need in order to put it all together. They have tons of different dietary options too! Since I'm a vegetarian I obviously only got meatless meals. So within the box not only do they send you the ingredients you need, but also recipe cards. They give you step by step instructions on how to cook the meals. These cards also tell you what the name of each ingredient is so you can find it in the grocery store. This is especially important because in my box I got a lemon, but it wasn't a normal lemon. It was a meyer lemon, but I swear it looks like an orange. So if I fall in love with this recipe I will be sure to look for meyer lemons that look like oranges and not just regular lemons. Also, these ingredients are fresh! They even sent me a detailed card about how the cabbage they sent me for one of the recipes was recently grown on and picked on a farm. I don't think I even mentioned the best part, they send you enough food for two people! With the plan I picked I got three meals sent to me times two! I think we're all so used to cooking and eating with meals we grew up with so I'm so excited to try something new. Especially since my mom calls me a bad vegetarian since all I eat is pasta. I can't wait to cook these meals this weekend!
xoxo, Michele
