Hello Fresh: Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches

If you think you have to spend hours by the barbecue pit to make pulled pork, think again. We’ve done the slow cooking for you—all you need to do is add some sauce and voila!

Everything included, and prep was quite simple. But it seems like there should be more...

 Smelled nice while cooking.

Pork that I was sent was quite fatty and chewy. Sauce covered that up a bit. Seemed very redundant to have slaw on the burger itself, and also as a side item. Could have used another side, maybe sweet potato fries or something similar? Either way, it felt incomplete.

Blue Apron: Baked Chicken & Mafalda Pasta

Baked Chicken & Mafalda Pasta with Honey & Balsamic Vinegar Dressing

 The kale bag was busted open when I received it, but everything seemed okay. The pasta was great (and I've made it a few times since), but the chicken dressing was much too tart.

Blue Apron: BBQ Glazed Turkey, Sweet Potato Fries, Collard Greens

02 January 2018

My last Blue Apron meal: Barbecue-Glazed Turkey, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, and Collard Greens. 

I had actually cancelled Blue Apron a month ago, but the cancellation "didn't take", and they sent me a box 5 weeks later. Customer service didn't seem sympathetic to me getting a box I didn't order or want, and refused to give me a refund. I gave away the first meal and decided to make this one so the food didn't go to waste.

The food packaging was actually intact for once, though the directions were a bit confusing. It was supposed to take 50-60 minutes to complete, but took me about 90. Tasted fine, and my kids even ate some.
