My first Blue Apron box.

Recently signed up for the family plan at Blue Apron and we got our first box today.  We signed up for the 2 meals a week plan and we got Salisbury Steak with roasted asparagus and potatoes and Braised Chicken Thighs with peppers and cheesy polenta.  I signed up for it because with the boys getting older it is getting more expensive to eat out with them because I can't get away with kid's meals anymore and we were starting to get tired of always making/eating the same thing.  We are hoping this will give us some new ideas to put into the rotation.

It is pretty cool how it comes all boxed up.  Once you dig in you'll find a nice color recipe card with pictures and step by step instructions.  And everything is all measured out for you!!

Here is the stuff we got for Salisbury Steak (that's what we made for dinner).  I love the little bag of knick knacks.

Inside the knick knacks bag, you have all your seasonings and stuff.

It was really easy to put together, I think next time we'll try to make sure the kids get to help out more (they had a lot of homework and one was not feeling that well too).  But even the one that wasn't feeling well wanted to eat it all and also wanted more.  There was just enough for the four of us.  We didn't have leftovers or seconds of anything but we added some fruit and had ice cream drumsticks for dessert so that helped.
