It’s surprising how disorienting it feels when painters and contractors turn your home upside down. Even though I’m excited to start new projects, it’s awkward to move through a room when furniture is covered in plastic or shoved into another space. Knowing the painters were coming, we took one last dinner at our table before the chaos began. I was glad to have a Blue Apron meal ready to prepare—more about a special offer at the end of this post.
You can see our living room mid-painting—our dining table was tucked away somewhere behind the scene. With everything in upheaval, having a Blue Apron box made dinner simple. The meal we chose was seared chicken with miso udon noodles, served with sautéed sugar snap peas and pea tips. I hadn’t cooked with udon noodles before, so the recipe was a fun introduction.
Blue Apron always brings something new to try, from ingredients to techniques. One of the biggest benefits for me is that everything is shopped for and pre-portioned, which saves time and removes the hassle of last-minute grocery runs. The udon noodles were a hit—I’ll definitely cook with them again.
This particular recipe felt more adventurous than what I normally prepare, yet it was straightforward and flavorful. It turned out to be an easy, delicious weeknight dinner I’d happily repeat.
My daughter Courtney and I enjoy cooking together whenever our Blue Apron box arrives. The men in the house always start hovering, knowing they’ll be in for a good meal once we’re finished.
Along with meals, we recently ordered a few kitchen tools from the Blue Apron market. The thick Boos cutting board is durable and beautiful, and a very sharp chef’s knife made prep faster and more pleasant. High-quality tools make a real difference in the kitchen.
Blue Apron delivers farm-fresh ingredients in a refrigerated box right to your door, and the packaging can be recycled. The program is convenient and encourages trying new recipes without the stress of shopping and measuring.
