Home Chef Week 1

Have you ever tried a meal delivery system? Or thought about trying one? I kept seeing coupons and promotions for many of theses services such as Green Chef, Home Chef, Blue Apron and Hello Fresh over the last few years. A couple weeks ago I decided to give one a chance and choose to try Home Chef. My sister and I picked out three meals and I ordered two servings of each meal. With a promotion, I ended up playing less than fifty dollars for six meals total. All three meals blew us away so I wanted to share them with you and our thoughts on our first three meals!

Meal 1: Chicken and Lemon Crema with Carrots

This one was my sisters favorite. The cream for the chicken was delcious but the feta cheese with the carrots was the best part of this meal!

Meal 2: Sirloin Steak with Goat Cheese Butter and Potatoes

This was our least favorite meal but the sirloin was really good without the goat cheese! The potatoes and brocolini were delicious and there was enough left over for my lunch the next day.

Meal 3: Cheddar and Crispy Potato Crusted Chicken with Tex-Mex Style Ranch Roasted Vegetables

This was my favorite meal! Both the chicken and veggies were very flavorful! I am not one for onions or peppers but I really liked the green onion and the pepper that was used in this meal. We had left over toppings for the chicken and left over veggies so I was able to make this particular meal three times using the left overs and my own chicken breast for the third meal.

The best part about all of these meals is that they are gluten free and have little dairy! I enjoyed looking at and picking out the meal choices as there was so many options and they are labeled for allergies. All of the ingredients besides salt, pepper and olive oil came with the meal kits. Each meal was seperated into a kit for the specific meal and there was a seperate produce bag with the meat for the meals. This made it so easy as all I had to do was take the meat and the meal kit bag for each meal! The kits come in a cardboard box that is insulated and has ice packs so all the food is still cold and fresh when you receive it. Home Chef made it easy to make good healthy meals and helped us get ideas for our own cooking! We already have our next meals selected and I am so excited to try more meals from them!
