Well… It was delicious! I made Moroccan Lamb patties on toasted Naan with Harissa aioli. I am very proud of myself as I would never have made this on my own without hello fresh. This is the Canadian version of the company so I bet it’s a little different because the comments here are quite different than what the girls at work say.
I put half of my sandwich away for lunch tomorrow so ended up with a 435 calorie dinner.
I think I’m going to enjoy this. As far as the cleanup goes, I need to get into the habit of keeping a cleaner kitchen… I feel like this will force me into it. If I were to buy all of the spices and herbs and ingredients separately , it would cost me a bit and I may never need them again.
I think I’m going to like this.
Thanks for everyone’s comments. 😊6 -

Always something in the house to cook ... I’ve cooked this way for years.
That sounds great in theory and my pantry is packed to the gills… It’s just the putting stuff together without a recipe and using the stuff that I’m not very good at.

Meals are cheaper than the takeout I’d most likely order instead and heat up in just a couple of minutes. I get variety, nutrition and convenience all in one!
I’m excited about the cooking part. I’m not really good at it and my friends that do it say that they’ve learned a lot. I am more of a person who buys things just to heat up but now I’m excited that I’m going to be making it from scratch.
I think this is a really good option for you and am glad your first meal went so well2 -
Last night I made
Last night I made seared Italian sausage with is really couscous and spinach!
Who knew that I could cook such a thing? We had some cheese in our fridge so I sprinkled a little bit of extra on top. I ate half of mine for dinner and have her for lunch today. So far so good… And I’m very proud of myself.3 -
Waste of money. Why the heck would I pay so much for a single meal when I can easily make the same thing for SO much less on my own?3

The meals look great - and looks like they will boost your cooking confidence/enjoyment/recipe repertoire - (and then perhaps you can try the cheaper DIY suggestions later!). Good luck1

I don’t know why YOU would but myself and several coworkers are just loving it. Not a waste of money at all, we are eating delicious restaurant quality meals and all made from fresh ingredients. Nothing being bought and rotting in the fridge. Not eating out as much. It’s a no brainer really… It’s amazing.

Thanks so much! I can’t believe that I am zesting lemons and limes, toasting nuts, reserving my cous cous water to add to my dish etc. Everything has been delicious!1 -

And you may also be learning how much a portion really is. Another Win!1

That’s true. My husband walked by and asked “ is that all the sweet potatoes they sent?” And I realized that it was the perfect amount and we’ve been eating way too many sweet potatoes!
