Reviving this thread. Just cancelled Blue Apron.

A client sent me my first free meal. That first week was fun. Then, the recipes all called for frying foods. I am scared cook and hate frying. Plus my kitchen experience was nothing like the commercials- couples prepping together and smiling kids helping out. It was more like trying to placate a crying baby who wants to be picked up, but I have raw chicken guts on my hand. Even with DH at home his idea of helping out was watching the baby.

So yeah. Blue Apron drop out! I did pick up a smoked trout recipe I will use for parties.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I tried two meals free during a recent promotion. One was General Tso's Chicken and the other was Pork and Braised Cabbage. DH was not interested at all. While I made the chicken he made lamb chops and veggies for the kids. They cooked them, ate them and cleaned up before I sat down to eat.

The Pork and Braised Cabbage was just funny because I had just made Pork and Braised Cabbage the night before from a massive Costco pork pack DH bought. That was slightly faster cooking but mine was much better in IMO. Both meals took a ton of dishes and were much more sugary that we usually eat. I cancelled.
