Product Review/Recipe: "Hello Fresh"

I decided to try out this new box meal craze by signing up to receive a weekly box from Hello Fresh. (Tons of thanks RetailMeNot for the $40 dollar off coupon!) I opted for a box containing 3 meals for 2 people and selected my meals. They offer you 5 choices that change weekly and I picked my favorite 3. So far I've liked only 3 of the 5 choices but the ones I do pick look REALLY good!

At first I thought the price was a little ridiculous but if you do the math it comes out to $11.50 a meal which in itself isn't bad. But then when you actually get the products and lay it all out you can tell that you could easily go to the store and purchase these same ingredients for less than $11.50. Whatever though, I like that it comes all pre-packaged and measured out and has everything you need.

My first box was supposed to contain 3 meals that I chose, Rosemary Walnut Crusted Chicken with Mixed Greens Salad, Steak Sandwich with Watercress and Roasted Tomato, and Mushroom Quesadilla with Lemony Guacamole. Unfortunately one of my three meals was wrong. Instead they sent me Shrimp Risoto with Asparagus. No one in my house eats seafood so this shrimp meal was passed off to a friend. After complaining to Hello Fresh they credited my account for one meal to use on my next box.

Here are all the ingredients for the chicken meal and the finished product:

All in all I was VERY satisfied with the meals.. Everything was really good and I got to experience new things that I never would have tried before. I'm excited for my next box and will update you all then!
