There is nothing, and
I mean *super nothing*, as impressive as a guy who knows how to cook.
And I know from experience! I was not exactly an alpha in the kitchen until recently. However, my wife says that she knew I was the guy for her on our 3rd date because I actually cooked her
dinner. The meal was pasta & garlic bread, which was the best I could do. Yes, I could grill meat, but that's about as far as my skills extended in the kitchen and on the grill. The fact is, like many of you, nobody ever taught me how to cook.
In an attempt to be a more well-rounded gentleman, I decided to cook more. And with that attempt, I have
been using Blue Apronto help me along for the past couple of months.
Blue Apron is a gentleman's culinary secret
weapon.
Each week I select three chef-designed meals, and I receive EVERYTHING I need to create each of the three meals.
Specific sizes and quantities of the farm-fresh ingredients for all three of the meals is at your fingertips. Nothing more or less than what you need to create each meal.
All the guesswork that surrounds cooking an amazing meal is virtually eliminated! Each delivery contains three recipes on handy cards with brilliant pictures and simple instructions which include prep time, cook time, and amount of calories.
No trips to the grocery store and no waste from unused ingredients! For someone who is super strapped for time, this is music to my ears!
To get your hands on this culinary secret weapon, you simply sign-up,
fill out the profile, and set your preferences such as delivery dates and times. If you're not home, no worries! The delivery arrives in a refrigerated package.
One of the beautiful things about Blue Apron is that you save money. Meals break down to approximately $10 per person, and you're not overbuying. You're sent exactly what you need.
Another beautiful thing is
you're not overeating because the menu is perfectly portioned and between 500 - 700 calories per person.
The last cool thing is everything is incredibly fresh and sourced from quality suppliers and artisans.
For me, this order's menu featured these three delicious choices:
Spiced salmon and cranberry chutney with parsnip sweet potato and clementine saute
Roasted Cornish game hen with rosemary baguette stuffing
Spiced pork accompanied by a squash and white bean soup and lacinato kale and sage-walnut pesto.
I prepared the sexy and seductive choice #3. It took me only 25-30 minutes with 15 minutes of prep time. The presentation looked like a chef created it, and it was absolutely delicious. It was actually incredibly easy. I am so impressed how far I have come with my cooking ability!
All three meals were only $59, including free shipping! They offer a 2-person or family plan, a large selection of recipes, and are always adding new dishes to their menu weekly. You can skip or cancel at any time.
