I was so excited last week about cooking with Blue Apron I couldn’t wait to get my shipment. I kept checking the front porch all day Friday anxiously awaiting my box. Once night fell I grew a bit concerned. Why haven’t I gotten my Blue Apron package yet? It said it would be here by 8:00 pm at the latest. So I finally went back and double checked the ship date. Much to my disappointment I had the dates wrong.
I’m excited to be cooking with Blue Apron again this week. I deactivated my account after giving it a try a few months ago (see my review here).

February is kicking my butt. Why are so many things packed into such a short month? Needless to say my menu planning has gotten a little lax. We’re still doing Core de Force, and already noticing results, but I’m not using the 21 Day Fix tally sheets to create a portion controlled menu. I’m relying heavily on Instant Pot & Slow Cooker recipes to get dinner on the table. Continue reading “Weekly Menu 2/12/17”
