Recently, I had a chance to try out some recipes from Blue Apron. In case you’ve never heard of it, this is a fantastic service that delivers fresh ingredients and recipes right to your door. You get everything you need to make a terrific meal, all wrapped up and ready to cook.
Here’s how it works. You go to the Blue Apron website and pick out the recipes you want to make that week. Each week, there’s a whole new set of original recipes to choose from, based on what’s in season. This ever-changing menu keeps your taste buds on their toes (do taste buds have toes?). Blue Apron even guarantees you’ll never see the same recipe twice in one year.
Once you decide what you want, you schedule a delivery. You can arrange to have your food show up at your door whenever it’s most convenient for you. You get a package with a step-by-step recipe and all the ingredients needed to make it. Everything is perfectly portioned out for the dish you want, so there’s no waste.

And what ingredients they are! Blue Apron sources its food directly from family-run farms across the country, so everything is much fresher than the stuff at the supermarket that’s been sitting on shelves for a week. Gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs, meats raised without hormones or antibiotics. And if you don’t want meat, there are lots of vegetarian options too, which is perfect for my hubby.
There are a lot of recipe services like this out there, but Blue Apron is the best known – and I’d say it’s for good reason. My experience with them was simply amazing. The food was nicely packaged and the step-by-step directions – with images! – were a cinch to follow. They were even easy enough for my kids to help me prepare the meals, which made them even more excited to eat the new flavors. Each recipe also comes with all nutritional information for the recipes. Love that!
I mean, come on….check out this cute little egg package!
For my first dish, I made this lovely Chipotle Glazed Meatloaf, served with a side of crispy potatoes. I just followed all the instructions, and as you can see, my dish actually came out looking just like the one on the card!
I don’t know if it tasted like the one they made in their test kitchen, but I thought it was delicious – spicy and hearty and comforting all at once.
Depending on which plan you pick, they come to around $8 or $9 a serving. But that’s still a lot cheaper than eating out, plus you have all the fun of cooking it yourself. Also, you know exactly what went into every dish – nothing but farm-fresh ingredients you can feel good about feeding to your family. Not many restaurants can give you that.
Still not convinced?
Well, what if you could try it for free?
That’s right! All you have to do is follow this link, and you can get a promotional code for three free meals. Or, if you’re already sold on the program, you can get $30 off your first week instead.

Let me walk you through the recipe I made now, so you can see how easy it was to make!
Chipotle Glazed Meatloaf
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Start by preparing the following ingredients:
Wash and dry fresh produce.
Peel and mince the garlic.
Roughly Chop the raisins.
Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.
Finely chop the pepper. Throughly wash your hands and cutting board immediately after the pepper.
2. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and as much of the pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Now let’s start the meatloaf. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, raisins and spice blend; Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until just combined.
4. Place a large piece of foil (or parchment paper) on a sheet pan. Place the ground beef mixture in the center of the foil. Gently roll and shape the mixture with the foil until it forms a tightly packed loaf., about 10 inches by 3 inches; flatten with the foil to line the pan.
5. Evenly top the loaf with chipotle ketchup.
6. Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Removed from the oven and let rest for at least 2 minutes.
7. Once meatloaf has baked for about 10 minutes, in a large non-stick pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the potatoes. Cook stirring occasionally, 11 to 13 minutes or until browned and crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving dish.
Serve meatloaf crosswise into 6 equal-sized slices. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve the sliced meatloaf with the cooked potatoes on the Side. Enjoy!
