Hi all! Today went down like a typical Monday packed with meetings including a sushi lunch. The good – I still fit in my walk turning one of my meetings into a walking meeting and being so busy I didn’t have time to think about snacks. That is until I got in the car to head home. I was so hungry but decided to start with my watermelon and then have something else if I needed it. But I didn’t – yay!
Have I ever told you all I love Hoisin and every time I cook with it The Husband walks around saying Hoisin any chance he can fit it in? It’s pretty funny. Dinner was the last of our Blue Apron meals from last week. It was Hoisin Chicken with Sesame Noodles & Cucumber Salad. My thoughts – I loved learning a new technique for cooking chicken and will totally use this in the winter when I can’t grill. The chicken tasted just like Chinese BBQ pork – I loved the glaze! I never knew how delicious tahini could make noodles – so creamy & nutty. It made a ton so I had about 1/4 of the recipe.

Night all!
Danica, have been wanting to try the meal delivery service. Does the food come frozen?
Hi Nancy,
Everything comes fresh but with two huge ice packs to keep things cold for up to 24 hours. I have never had an issue with anything getting hot even in the 100 degree weather of the summer
If you want, I can send you a free box to try it out 🙂 Just let me know.
Thanks for asking,
Danica
Hi Danica,
How would you rate Blue Apron? Do you find the recipes easy to complete?
Hi Monica,
I really like Blue Apron but not so much from a convenience standpoint. I like that I’ve learned new ways of cooking or tried new foods/recipes that I never would have before. 80% of what Ive made is delicious and I’d make it again. The servings are pretty large so I find it serves more like 3-4 versus 2. I do not do the boxes often but occasionally when a menu strikes me. I can send you a free box if you want to give it a try.
Thanks for asking,
Danica
