Hello Fresh, Hello Easy

Filed Under: Family

Hello Fresh

Sadly I have to admit since adding Prestyn to our lives we have eaten fast food, frozen food, or processed food more times than we can count. I can’t remember the last time I fixed a whole meal from scratch. Thankfully there is a great service called Hello Fresh that changed that for us this past week.

Hello Fresh

I had so much fun seeing all the bright and colorful vegetables, it had been way too long.

Fresh Ingriendents

All the spices come in little brown bags, premeasured, with each meal. That way you know you are getting fresh spices, and you won’t have to rush to the store because you don’t have a certain spice.

Hello Fresh

We had three home cooked meals and I didn’t even have to drag my boys to the store. That is a win/win in my book.

Why we love Hello Fresh

This particular recipe was from Jamie Oliver. It is called Jamie’s Mega Mushroom & Lentil Curry with Tomato, Cilantro & Lemony Rice. It was not my favorite since I am not a big mushroom fan, but I did enjoy the rice.

My favorite meal was the Crispy Chicken Parmigiana Salad. Amazing! Everything was so fresh and this one was super easy to make.

Hello Fresh

Kenny’s favorite was the Korean-Style Beef Stir Fry. He had it for leftovers and said it was even better the next day.

Hello Fresh

I love that Hello Fresh does everything for you. They make the recipes, gather the ingredients and ship it straight to your door for free. They offer a flexible subscription so if you need to pause your subscription you can do that, as long as you pause before midnight on the Wednesday before the following week’s delivery or Monday before delivery same week (Saturday).

    I've been wanting to try Hello Fresh! I've tried other similar services, but I was thrown off with how much prep was involved. Maybe I'll give this one a shot!!

    I am DYING to try this out. I'm hoping my kids will be open to the foods. They're very basic (which is good for me) so I might have to fancy down the way their plates look LMAO

    The chicken and Korean Beef dishes look absolutely amazing. Like something you'd get in a restaurant!! This sounds like such a great service. I hate dragging the kids to the grocery store. I always end up making bad choices lol.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
