Dinner with Hello Fresh

Oh my goodness, I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back to writing after a 3 week hiatus! It’s been crazy town around here, and I am super excited to share my experience using Hello Fresh.

As you know, I’m a mom of two littles, and trying to shop and cook dinner every single night can be a struggle, especially if my hubby is running late from work or has to be there to study for his CPA exams.

I always have good intentions at the beginning of each week to use all the produce I just purchased, and to make healthy meals, but that doesn’t happen, if I am being honest, like hardly ever. I always have something going to waste, because I either bought too much of something, or I forgot an ingredient to make the meal I am wanting to make, and I’m way too lazy to go back dragging two children with me (one of whom is in a very heavy carseat) back to the store.

This is where my love for Hello Fresh comes in! You get the exact ingredients for dinners that YOU CHOOSE delivered right to your door! I honestly have never tried a food-delivery service before, but after trying Hello Fresh, I’m hooked! I love that they have different plans you can choose from, and I love that they are affordable!

I got to choose 3 different dinners that I wanted, and I got to pick when I wanted them delivered. I chose my three that looked and sounded so tasty: Winner Winner Chicken Orzo Dinner, Argentinian-style Cod (my favorite of the three!) and Upgraded Steak and Potatoes. I am obviously a meat/fish person, so I was excited to see so many different choices with different meat choices. They also have meat-free plans if you are more on the vegetarian side 🙂

My box came and I was so excited! I was literally counting down the days because each meal sounded so tasty, and I couldn’t wait to try it out! I loved how each meal came separated in it’s own box full of all the ingredients I would need. They were so fresh and ready to be cooked! Also, the recipe book that came with it was so easy to follow, so specific and didn’t leave me with any questions of how to cook or prepare my meals. They also included the cutest apron that was so handy!

Each dinner was a delight and so yummy and took less than 35 minutes to prepare! Dylan even loved it, and that’s saying a lot since he’s the pickiest eater you will ever meet (literally Mac n’ Cheese all day, errr day). He really loved the chicken and the orzo pasta the most. My most favorite was the Argentinian-style Cod, I have been dreaming about it since we ate it a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to make it again.

I have partnered with Hello Fresh to give my readers a coupon code for $35 off their first box…that is a steal you guys! There’s no pressure either, because Hello Fresh let’s you cancel your subscription anytime without any fees or penalties. It’s great! Just use the code LOVESIMPLYKATE at checkout to get $35 off your first box! I pinky promise you will be so happy that you did 🙂

I am so excited to continue using Hello Fresh for our dinners! I never thought I would be one of those moms who used a food-delivery service, but Hello Fresh is so reasonably priced and super healthy, that it’s hard to justify not using it, especially since they have a few different plans to choose from (you can do 2-5 meals each week, depending on what’s best for you and your family). And shipping is always free…awesome right? I really can’t say enough about it. I am so glad I tried them and will continue using them. They are awesome!
