Some Yumminess with Hello Fresh! {Promo code included!}

I'm stuck in a dinner rut.  My mom always laughs because I don't actually make dinner that often when Rob is working.  I'll have my sister over and cook for us or Livvy and I will go to their house and eat with them or I'll casually ask what my parents are up to for dinner on Friday nights ;) When I do cook though, I love it and I really love trying new things.  When Rob is on the day shift that all goes out the window and I'm struggling to create a weekly meal plan to cook 5-6 nights a week, #thestruggleisreal.  Anyway, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Jones Design Company and Emily was blogging about how Hello Fresh really helped that the stress out of the what's for dinner question.  I figured I'd try it and see how we like it and we ended up really enjoying it!  For our first box, I used a $40 coupon and it's free shipping.  I'll share mine at the end of this post so you can try it too! *This post is not sponsored at all, I just wanted to share how much we liked it.

You get to choose three meals out of five recipes provided and they also have vegetarian options, which is nice if you'd prefer meatless meals. Each week, they feature different recipes so it really never gets boring! The three meals I chose were:  Mahi Mahi with citrus herb salad, Fusilloni with fresh ricotta and ground beef, and Lemony basil chicken with artichokes and brocollini.  The box comes on Mondays and is packed full of fresh ingredients, each sectioned out for each meal. 

The first recipe I tried was the Mahi Mahi and it was SO yummy.  I love that I was able to make it quickly myself and the ingredients were so fresh.  You can also keep the recipe cards to add to your own recipe box to make again. 

The next recipe I made was the lemony basil chicken with artichokes and crispy brocollini.  It was super simple and Olivia loved it.  I added rice to make it a little heartier and the whole meal came out fresh and delicious. 

The last one I tried was the Fusilloni with ground beef and fresh ricotta.  This is a fresh spin on a classic pasta and again, very flavorful and gobbled right up.  

I think this box is perfect for busy families and also moms who just need a little shake of freshness into their meal planning.  We got the box portioned for two people and there is a bigger box available for a family of four+.  It is subscription based, but I love that you can cancel at anytime or put ordering on hold for a few weeks.  I'd love for your family to try it to so I'm linking my promo code for $40 off your first box.  With every order through the promo, our family gets a credit towards another week too so it's great all around!  

For $40 off your first box, use my referral code: CYJJT6.  Let me know if you try it, I'd love to hear! Enjoy!
