    I love my Instant Pot That will probably be what I use to "fill in" the week's meals. We ordered 4 days worth/week and are on our own for 3.

    I GD uses Blue Apron and she likes it..she is not an experienced cook but she said that she is becoming a better cook and also eating a more varied meals and veggies. Her mother, my daughter does not eat anything green or any other color vegetable so GD did not grow up eating them either. She loves the instructions and her husband enjoys cooking with her. They are both very busy, she a school teacher and him a seminary student/youth pastor.

    My oldest Granddaughter bought some meals, not sure which one. Her boyfriend is a very picky eater. She probably just got it for a short while. She usually lives on salad with chicken.

    I'm hoping for the same, to improve my skills and add variety to our dinnertime.

    That is awesome. I'm hoping for the same.

    Are these meals cost effective? Still have to go to store for other things........

    probably good for two.people, but a family? Just thinking......

    do do these meals come daily, weekly....are they refrigerated? Left at front door?

    Janelle, I am lucky, sort of. At my last physical my doctor had a fit about my weight! My husband is a fabulous cook. So there is a downside lol

    My Daughter uses Blue Apron and I have made the meals with her (and ate them too), I am a FAN. The recipes are easy and delicious. Too expensive for me personally to subscribe too, but I would totally be on board if my budget allowed :-)
