Have you ever tried a home delivery meal kit service? I have several friends and family members who use meal kit delivery services and have always been curious about them. How does it work? How does the food arrive? What is the process of making the meals?
Home Chef reached out to me to see if I wanted to try their meal kit delivery service. They are sponsoring today's video. I had a lot of fun trying out their recipes.
I made brown sugar glazed salmon with ranch mashed potatoes and green beans...
Pretzel-crusted chicken with roasted broccoli and honey mustard cream sauce (my kids' favorite).
Sweet n' Sour pork meatballs with lime slaw and jasmine rice...
and Sirloin steak with porcini mushroom cream sauce and diced potatoes and parsnips.
Here are the pertinent details about Home Chef: they have 18 weekly menu options. Each meal comes to $9.95 per serving (they have lunch options for $7.99). The recipes use whole ingredients and are easy to follow (even for novice cooks). Their meals are calorie-conscious and heart healthy. They also have vegetarian options.
Here's why I liked using Home Chef. I enjoyed making gourmet meals in a short period of time each evening. My children loved all of the dishes. I liked that there was no food waste. When cooking, I find that I throw away a lot of food and that has always bothered me.
I also like that it took out a lot of hassle- no going to the grocery store, and the meals were very easy to prep. It was like I had an assistant helping me cook dinner every night.
Meal kit delivery would also be great for when you are throwing a dinner party and you want to make a home cooked dinner, but lack confidence. These recipes are pretty easy to execute and the results are impressive.
If you have a large family, it would not be affordable to do this everyday, but if Mom and Dad want a break from eating "kid food", or if you're watching what you eat, this would be a wonderful option.
Thank you to Home Chef for sponsoring today's video. They are giving my viewers $30 off with code JENNIFERS30
I would love to know... have you tried a meal kit delivery service before? What was your experience?
Thank you for joining me for today's video. I'll see you on Friday!
