We do the same thing. Ran through about 20 meals or so and saved the recipe cards for our favorites. Now we get our own ingedients and make them as we go.
Most of the recipes involves sauting everything though. They arent complicated at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: FPNI. Go buy shit at the store and learn how to cook. I sort of came to say this. You can go on youtube right now and be shown step by step how to cook literally any fucking thing you want. From scrambled eggs to chateubriand. I recommend chef john at foodwishes. Every single one of his recipes works for me. |

i use freshly every now and then when i get really busy with work and stuff.
get a 6 meal delivery, and they're ready in 3 minutes in the microwave. cost is about $9/meal - so similar to fast food and much healthier. worth it to me for the convenience. |

Somehow FedEx keeps delivering Hello Fresh after an extra 24 hours in holding, so in the summer we were tossing the meat at least twice a month for being too warm and all the ice melted. They gave credit for another box, but suddenly needing to come up with dinner for that night at a moment's notice and the next three is really annoying.
Blue Apron is less preferred to Home Fresh, but I think spending $90 a week for meals for two is stupid while our kids eat chicken nuggets, frozen pizza, or other bullshit and scream if we give them anything else because they've never had adult food. Kharn |

I'd love to try a few but being ''home alone'' save for the mutt, I tend to cook enough to make 5-6 meals or more and then eat for a week on it or freeze it if it can handle that.

We've had good luck with Hello Fresh. The recipes are great and easy and it's nice to have the recipes to keep. It is fun for my wife and I to cook together (it's usually just me) and the meals are good. We don't do it often and making sure that we skip each week is a pain. Hello Fresh is really good to reverse charges when we don't skip in time.

The wife and I like Sun Basket. The meal options we like are the unorthodox, ethnic meals from all over. It's fun to cook things that I've never heard of in the US, using spice and flavor profiles that are very different from what we are used to.
Could I go buy those same things at World Market or whatever, yeah sure, but it's an easy way to broaden our food enjoyment without much effort. To be sure, the recipes we really like we tend to duplicate with store bought ingredients. The wife has developed a shakshuka recipe that I absolutely love, due to a Sun Basket meal kit. |

green chef, marley spoon, blue apron, we've used all of them, some have good meals and some not so good.
got them to learn new ways to cook stuff, it's been educational and now we have a nice recipe book. |

Got tired of freshly, so we are on real eats now. They are boil in bag and the texture is much better.

Unless the meals cost the same as going to the store and buying the ingredients, I never understood these meals. But we all spend extra money on stuff someone else might not.
If you like cooking, check out Gordon Ramsay's 10 minute meals. Quick meals, simple ingredients, and the videos are pretty entertaining. Ignore the sometimes vertical video, these were originally streamed on instagram, then later edited for youtube. Here's a random one...

I am the cook in the house, my wife doesn't cook at all.
I have really enjoyed hello fresh as just something different and something I don't have to think about. I normally make everything fresh and local as possible, and typically only shop the edge of the grocery store, but again, its easy and I don have to think about. We get 2 meals a week. |

I've done all of them. Home Chef was the best, Hello Fresh was the worst. I miss Plated, they were really awesome, but they shut down their delivery service earlier this year. Home Chef was hit and miss on the recipes for the last few months. My biggest gripe with them is they don't know how to make mashed potatoes, and everything that should be fried is baked instead.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: FPNI. Go buy shit at the store and learn how to cook. LOL it took my wife five years to learn how to cook. I wish these things were around sooner. If your wife can’t cook these plans are a good building block. My wife sets off the fire alarm 3-4 times a week, even with Hello Fresh's instructions. When she's cooking it is time for the kids and I to play in the yard, and the interconnected smoke alarms mean it's loud as fuck when they all go off, to the point you can hear them at the end of the driveway plain as day. Suddenly seeing all the windows get thrown open and her flailing around trying to clear the air by the detector at the front door is hilarious. The neighbors who walk their dogs every day before dinner chuckle at us every time. I'm more than willing to cook, but she can't stand that I cook while piling dishes in the sink, eat hot food, and then clean. She prefers to wash dishes as she goes, including ignoring the stuff that is blackening, smoking, etc, on the stove while scrubbing other pans. She has even added soap to numerous reductions and entrees when she wasn't paying attention and got ahead of herself. I choke whatever shit comes out of the kitchen down without protest, no matter how over/under-cooked or how many flecks of non-stick I can spot in it. Kharn |

I think she used the smoke detector as a timer. |
