Two years ago this month a coworker introduced me to Home Chef. Home Chef is a meal delivery service, and it has changed my life.
I have always enjoyed cooking, but I hate the planning part. I am not good at meal planning, I have tried a few different methods over the years only to fail multiple times. I would make a plan for each night, go to the store and buy all the ingredients, then change my mind when it was time to cook. Home Chef solves that problem for me.
I order three meals per week. Each meal is two servings and all the ingredients are perfectly portioned. No more buying a $10 bottle of sauce for one meal hoping you like it. There are 18 meals to choose from each week and some add-ons like fruit and smoothies. They also have lunch options you can buy that are quick meals, I have tried a few of those and have liked the ones I have tried.
Each meal comes with all the ingredients in a labeled bag, the meat packaged for each meal, and a recipe card. All I have to do when I get home is grab the bag and the meat out of the fridge and start cooking.
Most meals require a little chopping, but it only takes a few minutes. They do have Home Chef Express options now that come with a lot of the chopping done for you. Those meals are usually ready to eat in 15 minutes or less. I usually order one of those options per week for late nights or days we need a quick and easy meal.
You follow the steps on the recipe card, and your meal is done before you know it. I like that each step has a photo, so you can see what it is supposed to look like.
Of the 284 Home Chef meals I have cooked (the app keeps count), I can probably count on one hand the ones I wouldn’t order again. The app also lets you rate and review each meal, so if you don’t care for one you can rate it lower and they won’t offer it to you again.
If you would like to try Home Chef, I have a code for $30 off your first box. You can click here to sign up and get the credit. I have loved it for two years now, so I ‘m sure you would too.
