I had to say no to friends when they wanted to eat dinner with me. There's still a lot of prep work, multitasking, patience, and dishes involved.Īnd for someone who lives in the city, Blue Apron is probably not the best option for me because I have so many affordable and convenient options all around me. And it doesn't eliminate the fact that cooking is still hard. The recipes also didn't make good leftover meals. But, it's probably not something that I will continue because the portion sizes run small. I remember that day being super cold, so that meal just hit the spot.īlue Apron definitely made cooking easier by providing all the ingredients right in front of you, and easy-to-follow recipes. It cost me $6.50 and it was from Wonton Noodle Garden. Like, would I be proud to invite my friends, family over and cook this for them? Maybe not.īut I ended up, instead of eating that, I ended up buying some wonton noodle soup. All these mistakes made my pasta taste mediocre. (There are two different cheese).Īnd instead of cooking within the estimated time, I ended up taking a lot longer. I wasn't able to save enough water from the pasta. I didn't put enough chili sauce because I thought it'd be too spicy. (I can see why they said to do it in the beginning because my water is still boiling). The recipe told me that the first thing that I should do is boil the water.

I did set myself some goals for the week when I first started: be able to cook the meal within the estimated time, follow all the instructions on the recipe, and I would love to be able to cook something that will blow me away.ĭay one, I had a few hiccups with my spicy shrimp pasta recipe. My usual dinners throughout the week include eating out with friends, buying dinner from Chinatown, or eating my mom's home-cooked meals.
