It took me 90 minutes and a lot of prep dishes to fix dinner, using the step-by-step recipe card as guidance. But this isn’t a quick meal by any stretch. Sure, nearly everything is included, and the relief comes in knowing someone else has done the shopping for you. And the ingredients – vegetables, spices and such – for the week’s meals were fresh, and that included the largest cucumber I’d ever seen. I don’t know how these Blue Apron “refrigerated boxes” will hold up sitting on a porch for hours on a hot summer day, but springtime in Northern Virginia the ice packs inside were still mostly frozen that evening. When it did arrive, I was initially impressed. My plan was already starting to fail – miserably – before the first box even arrived. They were soon narrowed further to vegetarian-only after I learned that Blue Apron defines “poultry” as more than just chicken and turkey, both of which I’ll eat as long as they’re well disguised.
Since we don’t eat much meat and I don’t eat seafood, our choices were narrowed to poultry and vegetarian. The standard weekly menu options include a pork or beef dish a seafood dish a poultry dish a salad dish and one dish that’s a chili, stew or soup.
