So I'm sure like many people when it comes to dinner you have your signature dishes. Mine is usually ground turkey tacos, chicken with veggies, baked chicken with sweet potatoes, ground turkey hobo hash and just more chicken (grilled) with salad. So Jeremy and I decided to try something different. We were watching Shark Tank (reruns) and we saw Blue Apron, we diced to give it a shot. The way blue Apron works is they have meals set up and delivery options. We decided to do 3 meals a week that serves 2. It was about 70 bucks but we figured we'd try it. The meals we had all were pretty good. My favorites, were the roast, pot pie and phily sandwich. The other 3 dishes were meatballs with Polenta, shrimp and rice and a cod with mashed potatoes.
I made the pot pies on a day that I got home from work early, did not workout and I did not bring paper work home so I didn't mind the hassle. This tasted delicious, but I picked out the mushrooms and added cholula. 
The hubs made this one all on his own, when I got home late. It was delicious as well I loved the mashed potatoes.
I liked the idea and it did give me new ideas for side dishes but, I'm so picky with everything I eat that I didn't really care for some of the ingredients such as watermelon raddish, polenta, mushrooms etc. but at least I tried it.
Another thing that I didn't really care about was the high calorie count in all the meals. Not one of the meals was less than 500 calories a serving. For someone who tries to eat clean and healthy, I'd have to say Blue Apron is NOT for you!
One last thing, I know a lot of women find doing the dishes is relaxing so if you feel that way then you will love making these dishes but, if you're like me when after you're done cooking you have a thousand other things to do like grade papers, make lesson plans, do laundry etc the last thing you want to do is spend 30-45 more minutes cleaning pots, bowls, knives etc. But if you're the "stay at home" type of person where you don't have to worry about work, and getting to bed at a certain time or workouts and have an extra hour and half to blow then this is for You. 
This one was my favorite but who doesn't like stuff drizzled I cheese?????
