After the marathon of Thanksgiving meal planning and shopping, we’re ready to relax — at least for a little while before gearing up for Christmas. We’re hosting family celebrations at our house this year, which is exciting, but in the meantime we still need easy, reliable dinners.
With a hungry teen at home, skipping meals isn’t an option. Fortunately, our son has developed good eating habits and is not a junk-food kid, so we don’t keep many packaged convenience foods on hand. The upside is he’ll actually cook when the ingredients are ready.
That’s one reason we love our Blue Apron deliveries. Fresh, farm-sourced ingredients arrive at our door in a refrigerated box, so everything stays fresh even if we’re not home at delivery time. Meals are simple to prepare and take the guesswork out of dinner.
Good food in the house means happy teens and a calmer household. No evening crankiness here.
This week we used Blue Apron to make Yellow Tomato & Basil Pesto pizza and it was a hit. Everyone enjoyed it, and even Jack thought making pizza at home was a great idea.
As a busy parent who spends the day working and creating, I value meals that are quick and straightforward. After a long day I want to prepare dinner and enjoy it, not plan a complicated menu.
Blue Apron packages ingredients in labeled, pre-measured portions, so you don’t have to think about quantities or waste. You wash and chop what you need, follow the simple recipe card, and the meal comes together quickly.

Blue Apron is a great fit for busy seasons when you want to avoid wasted groceries while traveling or hosting family. If your goal is to cook healthier meals at home — ideal for New Year’s resolutions — this service helps make it easy.
Each week you choose from eight different recipes and can mix and match to suit your tastes. Meals take under 40 minutes to prepare, and plans are available for two people or a family size.
When the box is empty, Blue Apron provides recycling options and even a free return option via USPS for packaging — a convenient way to be mindful of waste.
