My wife and I have been using Home Chef for the last couple of months because she started working full-time after years of taking care of the household. I've never been much of a cook but have been able to produce some pretty decent meals with it. Really good instructions, everything has been fresh and the portion sizes are healthy (not huge). It's got us trying some new things we probably wouldn't have otherwise. The key is to stay on top of what they are sending you each week. You can swap the meals entirely or just modify what they have, especially the proteins. I forgot this last week and got ground turkey quesadillas as one of the meals. Doesn't sound appealing to me personally.Anyone use any of the meal plan services available. They've become extremely popular for those too busy to cook or prepare. I only tried a few local places so far..

No problem man. Another thing I like about Home Chef is you can just choose to skip a week or more if you're planning to eat out or you're on vacation or something. You don't end up with a refrigerator full of food you can't cook. I imagine all of the services offer something like that, but I can't say for sure.Excellent.. thanks for recommendation. That's one I haven't heard of yet. I'll look into it.. I like the idea of trying some new things. Always feels like we eat the same things over and over, so it would be good to explore something different.
Hello Fresh was okay. It was a bit expensive for what you get and the meal choices weren't really my thing but I can see how it would be a popular service. The portions were tiny for a family of four. We don't eat a single thing from the recipes we got from them. I'm sure it's great for some people, it just wasn't for us.
I know some will give you like 16 free meals when you sign up. I think we got that with Home Chef, and I believe Hello Fresh is doing it right now.Thanks.. I was looking at Hello Fresh and also Hungry Root. A lot of these services will give you a deal for the first few orders, I'm just looking for a simple 5 recipes a week.. serving 2 people. 10 meals total. If I could find that at a quality price that would be great!!
Their intro deals are good. But portions for 5 will be small I think you'll find. With the deals they offer, I honestly believe it's worth trying.Thanks..

I’ve tried several of them - Hello Fresh, Home Chef, and Green Chef. All have their pros and cons and like @Crazed Liotta Eyes mentioned, you have to keep up with your subscription every week or they will send you things you don’t want.Anyone use any of the meal plan services available.

Can you find the time to make sammiches for others? You could be Big_D’s meal service.No way I would use a meal service. If I have time in the day to make a sandwich that's all I need.
The mention of Big_D's name and sammiches, remindes me of a sandwich served at guantanmo bay in a harold and kumar movie.Can you find the time to make sammiches for others? You could be Big_D’s meal service.
