Sometimes, we discover new things on our own. Other times, we learn through conversing, listening, or reading. In my case, what seemed like an innocent conversation with a friend has become a new way of being. As a result of that conversation and my willingness to try something new, I have gained time management, relationship, confidence, and health benefits. Are you curious?

Have you heard of subscription food or meal kit services like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh? These companies deliver fresh food, all the ingredients needed, and detailed, easy-to-cook recipes directly to your home. Several months ago, my husband and I signed up for Blue Apron.
11 benefits we’ve noticed so far:
Save time by not having to shop for food.
Save time and stress by knowing what to cook for dinner.
Learn new cooking tips and techniques.
Enjoy more time together by tag teaming it in the kitchen.
Eat at a more leisurely pace.
I am more confident in our cooking skills.
I appreciate how well-organized the packaging and recipes are.
I am more experimental and more willing to try new foods.
We have reprioritized cooking together and sharing meals.
We are eating more healthfully.
We’re having even more fun with lots of high-fiving each time we make a new recipe.
“Save time and stress by knowing what to cook for dinner.”
I love the communal use of time, doing a fun activity that yields a delicious result. Plus, I get to hang out and cook with my husband. This is simple, basic stuff that I had been missing.
If you want to try Blue Apron, I’m happy to offer you a “free” one-week trial. I'll send an invite to the first three people who email me at linda@ohsoorganized.com. I don’t get anything by sharing the offer, only the satisfaction of knowing that you might enjoy the benefits I’ve been enjoying, too.
Have you tried a meal kit service? If so, what has your experience been? Is it a time-saver? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Join the conversation!
