My family and I are in the process of moving to a new home and because everything has been so hectic, I decided to try one of the latest new convenience trends— Meal Delivery.
I love the idea of meal kit delivery because it takes all of the guesswork out of cooking, while still serving my family a healthy and Delicious Meals made with REAL INGREDIENTS.
I admit, in the first week of moving we relied heavily on fast food and takeout. By the end of the week I was completely turned off by it and craving something fresh— Thankfully, I had Home Chef scheduled for delivery to take off some of the stress when it came to the never-ending question of “What’s for dinner?”.
My first experience with Home Chef was a good one. I placed my order online and selected 3 meals for 2 to be delivered on preset date, which happened to be on a Friday. The meal plans change from week to week, but you can always tell what’s on the menu in advance. The best part of Home Delivery, which I don’t believe is available in other meal plan delivery services, is that you can swap out meals that you don’t like for others without charge. This means you don’t have to worry about receiving an entrée that you would never eat!
We have a family of three and I went with the meal plan for two simply because we have a problem with not eating leftovers. I figured that if I needed extra food I would add a salad or a veggie to the meal. Each meal is $9.95 per serving unless otherwise noted.
Our first order included Argentine Flat Iron Steak with Salsa Criolla and crispy potatoes, Huli Huli Chicken Thighs with Jasmine Rice and Spicy Beans and Pork Banh Mi Lettuce Wraps with Cucumbers and Carrots with Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce.
Everything arrived fresh and chilled on the schedule date along with the recipes and a binder to keep them in. This was a great feature because I can access our favorite meals anytime to make again.
The first night I made Argentine Flat Iron Steak with Salsa Criolla and it was AMAZING! I was originally concerned there wouldn’t be enough food for the three of us, but I was pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes. Here’s a look at the finished product of our first meal:
What I Love About Home Chef Meal Delivery
It’s Super Convenient — Whenever I want Home Chef delivered I just order online at HomeChef.com. It’s super easy and I can pick the meals that my family wants to eat. The ingredients are delivered to my door pre-measured and ready to cook— and Home Chef meals take only 30 minutes to cook!
There’s a ton of Variety — Every week Home Chef has 10+ meal choices, so there’s always something new and different. In addition to meals, you can order add-ons like smoothies, fruit and breakfast items.
The Price is Great — If you had to shop for the same ingredients at the grocery store you would pay more than Home Chef, which sends you everything pre-measured so there’s no wasted food (one of my pet peeves!). Plus, at $9.95 per serving, it’s on par with fast food and takeout…but so much healthier! Shipping is also included, which is always a win.
It’s Delicious — My family agrees that Home Chef Meal Delivery tastes fantastic, and we wouldn’t be eating so well without it.
