One of the toughest parts of my weekend is Sunday’s when I meal plan our dinners out for the week. I usually scour Pinterest and fall back to our tried and true favorites, so when Blue Apron reached out so that I could try their service I jumped at the chance having heard how fresh and amazing their recipes were from my friends! Keep reading to find out how you can get free meals of your own!!
If you’ve never heard of Blue Apron, they allow you to create delicious, chef-designed recipes at home. All three of the meals we received I’d never attempted to make on my own, nor would I ever have dreamed that I could actually make something as delicious as Thai Coconut Curry Soup (I posted a picture on Instagram) from scratch!! It was a tough decision deciding which meal to highlight here on the blog, but the Beef Bolognese won out – mostly because I wanted to see how long it would take to create this meal since they boast all recipes take no more than 35 minutes!
Blue Apron delivers all the farm-fresh ingredients you need, right to your doorstep, in exactly the right proportions. Which means no measuring, no trips to the grocery store and no waste from unused ingredients. With each bite, Gary and I were both so impressed with how fresh the ingredients were – as if we were eating in a restaurant!!
They offer two types of plans, the 2-Person Plan and Family Plan. The 2-Person Plan will set you up with one delivery a week, each with three inventive meals for two. Price for this plan is $9.99/per person/per meal and shipping is always free.There’s no commitment – you can skip or cancel the service at any time!
so excited to dig in!
We’ve already agreed on our next delivery date and are anxiously awaiting it’s arrival! A couple other recipes I’ve been eyeing to try is the Korean Style Tteok and Tuscan Ribollita Soup If you’re interested in trying Blue Apron, the first 30 readers to sign up will enjoy two free meals, just click here. They ship to 80% of the country, so check out if they deliver to your area!
Have you ever tried a meal delivery service?
Thank you to Blue Apron for Sponsoring this post.
xo,
i have heard the best things about this and have wanted to try it out forever!!! i need to make the plunge to do so!
YUM! Ive seen a few people (you included) posting pics of their Blue Apron meals, especially after Christmas! It sounds like a really cool idea, and really easy! Do you get to pick the meals that you get/make? Love this review–it's making me hungry! 🙂
Looks delicious and it's a great service for those who work – very convenient!
This is such a great plan for super busy people! That bolognese turned out beautifully!

It looks like it came out great. I've never tried a service like that, but I like that it is fresh ingredients.
WOW! I had never heard of Blue Apron, but this looks amazing. I love that they even ship all the ingredients to you as well which is a huge time-saver, would definitely love to try that out 🙂
I've had a couple friends get into this and I def want to try it out! That beef bolognese looks so delish!! good work chica! xoxo

Ohhhhh that looks really good!!! Perfectly portioned is exactly what I need sometimes 😉 Checking to see if they ship to FL!
This is so cool! Would be great for Marc, Emily and I. The boys are super picky eaters though. I love cooking and meal planning , but sometimes I could use a break! Xo
h and i cook almost every night! i need to try out this service. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Yay I've been waiting for this post! That seriously looks amazing and I love that they send you everything you need. How perfect is that? YUM!
Everyone I know that’s used Blue Apron has loved it! I didn’t know all recipes were under 35 minutes. That’s brilliant!
What a cool idea! That would definitely help with my meal planning, I get in such a rut sometimes with dinner ideas!
I've never heard of Blue Apron, but it sounds awesome! That's great that they offer meals just for 2 people too so you're not eating the same thing all week or wasting food. Sounds perfect especially when it's too cold outside to go to the grocery store! 🙂 Thanks for sharing girl.
So cool! I haven't heard of Blue Apron either but it sounds like a win/win.
I've actually never heard of this! What a great concept! I love that they deliver with the exact measurements! It looks so yummy!

I love the concept of Blue Apron but wasn't sure I could handle the actual cooking…glad to hear you had such a great experience! I really like that you only get exactly what you need for the meals and don't have to waste anything.
Wow, what a cool and fun idea! I've never heard of this service, but I most definitely will look into it. Your meal looks like it turned out amazing!
I had no idea! What a great idea, perfect for busy working Moms… I love it!
Looks delish! Mike can't wait to try!
That looks awesome! I'll have to look into this when I'm cooking for myself on a regular basis.
I've always wanted to try Blue Apron! That is such a fun date night idea too! Love your table and that meal looks so good!
I LITERALLY just signed up for Plated five minutes before I read this! This looks SO yummy and takes so much out of grocery shopping (I loathe!)
Like some of the other girls, I've never heard of this service before. Too bad the vegetables weren't chopped already though, I hate doing that part sometimes!! So lazy I know lol. Such a great idea though for the winter or if you have a family and its hard to find time to cook. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
What a great concept. It looks so fresh and delicious!
I have been meaning to try the blue apron since I heard about in SF for years!
That looks amazing! I was so stoked to see a free trial!!! YUMMY!
This looks amazing! You are making me so hungry! I would love to try something like this!! Thanks for sharing! xo

It looks yummy! So cool you got to try it out!
That looks delish!! Sounds like a great deal, especially love that everything is the right proportion and you don't end up wasting food!
Oh wow, this is so beat!
You don't have to over think if you have the right ingredients, there they are)
Looks so delicious!

NO WAY! I had no idea this existed! We also struggle with meals, planning and grocery shopping. This looks like a God-send! I'm def going to try it – we eat way too much take out over here, lol!
This is so neat! And the meal you cooked looks absolutely amazing!
xo Southern Style
I've never tried a meal delivery service! It looks so easy!! But I am addicted to cooking through my travel cookbooks that I don't know if I could limit myself, lol! But it looks YUMMY! Thanks for sharing! – domesticgeekgirl.com
That looks like a great idea! It'd be perfect because it's already planned out and seasoned just right. I don't think I could pay $10/person because I could grocery shop for a lot cheaper than that per person. But it's really really a great idea and looks delicious. Maybe I'll do it if they lower the price one day!
I've been hearing about this everywhere and it's really intriguing! I'd love to try it but don't see it being a regular thing because of the price – I'd honestly rather go out to eat for $20/meal, ha! That Thai Coconut soup sounds VERY good, though!
I also did Blue Apron a while ago and I loved it. The meals were different and outside my comfort zone. The only thing I didn't love was the amount of chopping involved. Actually cooking the meals was pretty quick but there was so much prep involved that it did not work for me on weeknights. Otherwise, the food was fresh and delicious and I loved it.
I love this concept!! How genius! My husband and I love to cook our little romantic dinners for two on a Sat night after the kids go to bed so this would be perfect!

We've always wondered about these types of services but have never know anyone to try them out. The ingredients all look amazing and I love how easy it sounds.
I love all 3 of the recipes they sent you! The beef bolognese looks amazing! I particularly like how they have all the ingredients measured out and ready to cook.
oh i love the idea of this!!
How amazing is this? The food looks so good as well 🙂

Their food looks so good! A meal delivery service would make dinner so much easier.
Looks delicious! I'm always a little apprehensive about the pre-packaged meal planning services, because it seems more expensive than my normal shopping. It would be perfect though for busy weeks when I don't have the time to meal plan or grocery shop.
we have something like this in the UK called hellofresh and its great. I love the fact that the recipes are quite unusual so also teaches you to cook somehting you might not normally.
That is such a neat idea! I want to try it. It's amazing.
This is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen! They give you the ingredients and the recipe? That will save me so much time! And the recipes look exciting, too! From the looks of it, your Mr. enjoyed it!

Look at you Chef B!
My daughter uses meal delivery – with 3 babies, I don't blame her 🙂
That looks delicious! I love that they provide fresh ingredients for the meals. The price seems a bit high to me, but I guess you're paying for a convenience factor as well. And for weeks that are super busy it would probably be worth it.
How have I never heard about this service?? The simple fact that it's delivered to your door is enough for me!
We have something similar over here in the UK. While I do think it's a fun idea, it's so expensive and you could just get your shopping delivered to your home rather than buy one of these!

I keep seeing ads for this on Lifetime! I really would love to try it. I need to look into it more, especially the price . 🙂
How fun! Meal planning is seriously the worst, what a great idea for making things easier…which I'm all for!

This is so freakin cool!! I haven't heard of it before and it would seriously be perfect for our lifestyle–and the fact that one of the main reasons I don't cook more is I hate trying to find recipes! Def. going to check this out 🙂

what a brilliant service! i'll have to check them out to see if they can cater to my needs / tastes. i did some meal planning / prep on sunday and i swear the whole thing took so long but i made a bunch of meals so it was a really awesome idea lol. the hardest for me is trying to use the same ingredients so i don't waste anything – like if i only need half an onion for one recipe, i try and find one that will use the other half. not that onions go bad quickly but you know what i mean 😉
Ahhh I need to try this out at some point- I HATE grocery shopping, so this may be a good alternative!!
This is the coolest concept, I saw this on another blog a while back and have looked a few times since. We should try it out for sure. Your dish looks delicious!
I'm glad you liked it!
I love the way this turned out!! Great post!

WOW! This looks delicious! I definitely want to check out Blue Apron!
yummy!! I've been waiting for this review from you because I have been so torn between this service and Plated. Both look delicious and have such great concepts!! I love the idea of taking the guess out of which to make each night!! I know we have to try this in the near future.
Wow, talk about tempting! The food looks incredible and it's so easy to fall into a rut with the same old recipes. Love this!
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness that looks amazing!!! And the coconut curry soup sounds so good too!!! Meal planning can be hard sometimes when you cant decide what to make. I have about 10 tried and true recipes I fall back to when i am un-inspired.
so fun! I've been meaning to try this!! love the concept!

This dish looks so delicious! I'd love a fresh and healthy food service like that – if only they shipped to Aus! (Although it probably wouldn't been that fresh or healthy by the time it arrived in that case!)

This is freakin awesome and that meal looks delish!
I've been wanting to try Blue Apron so I'm glad you had such a great experience! Looks amazing!

I have heard such great things about this! I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing, girlfriend! xo
This is amazing! I've never heard of such thing but you totally have me sold on it! I mean essentially, your only paying $20 for two?! Do you get to choose your own meals or is it just random meals they choose for you? Just curious because I'm kind of picky. Lol
