Tonight's dish of Summer Udon Noodle Salad was both filling and fresh - definitely perfect for a summer night. At this point I'm no longer surprised to see myself eating unprecedented amounts of vegetables and genuinely enjoying the flavor and texture. Unfortunately we didn't get an accurate measure on prep or cooking times, so we'll omit those […]
Tonight's meal is Brown Butter & Thyme Gnocchi with Maitake Mushrooms, Corn and Swiss Chard. Based on the picture I'm really looking forward to it. Before trying Blue Apron, we often made a sweet potato gnocchi with basil that is so flavorful and filling that it sets a high standard for this dish we're about […]
Today's dinner is Basque-Style Cod with Sweet Pepper-Tomato Sauce and Freekeh. The recipe sounds delicious, and I'm not all that familiar with cod outside the basic, universal fish-and-chip. Unfortunately the garlic didn't arrive

Our second meal on the Blue Apron plan was Spicy Hoisin Chicken Stir Fry w/ Baby Bok Choy and Sesame-Ginger Cucumber Salad. Even after sitting in the refrigerator for four days, all the ingredients were still fresh and crisp. To the right is a picture of the ingredients included in this meal. Aside from the […]
The first dish we'd attempt as part of our mail-in dinner adventure was a Paprika Shrimp and Cheddar Grits w/ Tomato and Sweet Corn. Definitely not something I would get at a restaurant, although I recently had cheddar grits with shrimp, pork belly and kimchi which was incredible. So I'm game to try this too. Here's a […]
