Blue Apron A Valentine's Recommendation!

Welcome to Wednesday!  Technically I've had a short work week.  I took yesterday off to take the girls to the vet.  Maya got her nails trimmed and was on surprisingly good behavior, I always think she's good but the vet can be an experience.  I'm sure it had nothing to do with the 4 cookies she got from the vet in the 15 minutes we were there.  Marley was a little less amused, likely because we were there to deal with her ear infection.  She has an environmental allergy that causes her ear to get infected but hopefully with the preventative treatments we developed yesterday, these infections will become a thing of the past.  Once her nail trim was over she reverted back to her 77lb angelic self.

Enough with all of that though, what I really want to tell you about today is Blue Apron!  Blue Apron is a weekly food delivery service that provides you with all the ingredients necessary to cook three dinners. They plan the food, do your shopping, measure your ingredients and deliver it all to your door.  All you have to do is cook and they provide detailed instructions on the back of the recipe cards which makes things even easier.  Weekly subscriptions are $9.99 per serving per meal.

Long story short, Aaron gifted me a week subscription for Christmas and I really enjoyed it.  The meals in our box were things I may not have cooked normally and I liked that because I was forced to branch out a bit.  The ingredients came in a very well refrigerated box and seemed very fresh to me.  Our box included everything we needed to cook Thai Shrimp Soup with Coconut Lemongrass Red Curry, Top Round Steak Fajitias with Guacamole and Whole Wheat Tortillas, and Turkey Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes and Spinach.  We honestly enjoyed every meal but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be the Thai Shrimp Soup, I absolutely loved it!  

So if you're in need of a Valentine's Day gift for the foodie in your life, want to set up a cooking themed date night, or just like the idea of trying something new every once in a while Blue Apron could be the thing for you.  I definitely would not be disappointed if I received another gift subscription.  Not in the least! Happy mid week!
