Thank you to Home Chef for providing me with product in exchange for review! All opinions are my own!

Seriously is there anyone who can’t use a hand at dinner time? I can’t be the only person who gets stuck in the food rut where it seems we eat the same 4 meals over and over again. Dinner timing, man if I would have just prepped everything I bought when I bought it dinner might be slightly easier! Lets not even go into the Pinterest recipe black hole where I pin amazing things just to never see them again. I might be a bit ashamed to say there are a lot of times I see packaged food in the frozen isle and think “theres no way I could make that, I might as well buy it”. Thank goodness for the people at Home Chef for coming up with such an amazing company. Not only do they create a beautiful palate pleasing menu each week filled with multiple mouthwatering options to choose from, but they also deliver each and every ingredient you’ll need for said meals!

My husband and I as I’ve said before have found a newly opened love for tastes we’ve never had before. Normally my routine goes something like this, I find a recipe on Pinterest, check out the ingredients, realize they are weird stuff I’ve never used or don’t have on hand, go back and change my mind about the whole thing and make something I always do. Home Chef has made it so easy to try new recipes, find new favorites, and make them over and over again! I seriously love this company, no recipe hunting, no grocery shopping, I just can’t ask for more!

So we picked out three meals portioned for two. We ordered Alabama style Bbq Pork Tenderloin paired with jalapeño corn bread and asparagus,

Thia-Ginger Garlic grilled pork chops with kaffir lime and Cucumber relish,

and finally my favorite, Blue cheese crusted sirloin steak paired with roasted fingerling potatoes, carrots and horseradish cream.

Every single one of these was not only tasty, but also easy and so time friendly! I had nothing to be nervous about when it came to not liking something and having a bunch of ingredients I wouldn’t use, but had everything to gain when it came to finding amazing favorites and new taste loves.

Once the box came I was so excited for it I stayed home waiting, but you don’t need to because everything comes cold packed with plenty of ice packs! I separated each meal and pulled out the recipe card for the blue cheese crusted steak and gazed for a few seconds at it and then got to work! One of the things I really appreciated from home chef was that they take picture of each step as well as give you written instruction. This was helpful to have a visual in mind as you go to know what things looked like at each step. The first step was chopping the parsley, green onion, carrots and potatoes. 

Following that pretty basic step was seasoning the veggies. Now onto the things I was really excited for, mixing the blue cheese and onions for the steak crust and the horseradish cream. 

It only took placing the steak in the oven with the blue cheese crust for a few minutes and plating the rest of the meal and we were ready for chow town! My husband and I both like to put a meal together and make it look pretty, this was no exception! Ah! Is your mouth watering?!

I really like that the recipe card gave instructions for cooking the meat perfectly. I sincerely now have a ton more confidence pan searing a steak to perfection, and making pork tenderloin moist and juicy! Everything for this meal and all the others was timed out perfectly, by the time you were done with one step another was ready and at the end everything was ready at the same time and only took about 30 minutes from start to finish! The portions were a perfect amount, not too much as to get wasteful and we didn’t walk away hungry from any of the dinners.

As for the other recipes we have already made the Alabama style bbq pork tenderloin again with all our own ingredients because we loved it so very much! This is such an amazing way to find new food avenues to venture. I find myself drooling over each weeks menu. Home chef offers portions in sizes of 2 which is good for couples, 4 and 6 for families, each portion priced out at $9.95 which is a great value considering the size of the portions, the meat cuts you get are outstanding, not to mention you didn’t have to even leave your house to get it all! Home chef also offers a fruit basket add on and a smoothie add on that look amazing! You can save $30 on your first home chef order using my link!
