Weeknight Dinner Ideas + Blue Apron

My boyfriend and I signed up for Blue Apron recently and I'll admit that I was a bit reluctant to try it. I thought it could be overpriced and unnecessary but it has proven to be so helpful, easy and delicious. We usually order twice a month and it's $60 per week for 3 meals for 2 people. Between the miscellaneous groceries, take out and dinners out, it ends up being a perfect amount for us to order. The recipes are super easy to cook, really healthy and definitely different than what I would've tried to cook on my own. 

Before this I hardly ever cooked, mostly because I didn't have the patience and had some bad experiences...but the recipe cards are easy to follow and it's basically idiot proof. Here are some of the meals I've cooked:

Mushroom and swiss burger with pan-seared fingerling potatoes

Fresh fettuccine pasta with sugar snap peas and arugula

Hearty chicken salad with new potatoes, pickled rhubarb and goat cheese

Laotian larb gai with sticky rice, peanuts and mint

Sirloin tip steaks with new potato, asparagus and radish hash

Dukkah-spiced salmon with spring vegetables

Blue Apron did not sponsor this post, I just legitimately like the service and recommend it!
