Let HelloFresh Take the Lead on Dinner

16 Free Meals + Three Surprise Gifts + Free Shipping

By Kate Sparrow, Publisher, Macaroni KID Pensacola January 4, 2022

Anyone else's family need to eat, like, every day? 

Mine too. Sometimes the mental load of meal planning, grocery shopping (Do we already have sour cream!?) and making sure that everyone is eating as fresh as possible can feel like a lot. Not to mention allocating the time to actually prepare said food. And cleaning up before racing out the door for basketball practice. And managing leftovers to avoid food waste. 

...I know you get the picture.

But this week, thanks to HelloFresh, rather than feeling overwhelmed with prep (and underwhelmed with my results), I was an absolute rockstar in the kitchen. And if I can do it, anyone can. 

Want to give it a try? Now is the perfect time as HelloFresh is offering 16 free meals, 3 surprise gifts, plus free shipping to all new customers. 

I can't recommend HelloFresh enough. What's better than an affordable way to outsource an important task and take back so much of your precious time and energy?

Delicious, quick meals the whole family loved

My family went crazy for the One-Pan Steak & Green Pepper Quesadillas with Hot Sauce & Smokey Red Pepper Crema. With pre-diced steak and pre-measured spices, I had the meal finished in under 25 minutes. Clean-up was a breeze with no random left-over ingredients, and nothing went to waste. And it was SO GOOD. Restaurant taste with wholesome, high-quality ingredients sourced straight from the farm! 

In addition to the quesadillas, my family also really enjoyed the Balsamic & Fig Beef Tenderloin with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Rosemary Panko Brussels Sprouts (I mean, who am I?!) and the Slammin' Secret Sauce Chicken Sandwiches with Scallion Cabbage Slaw. It was quite the step up from my usual tacos, spaghetti, and meatloaf repertoire, but with a fraction of the work. 

Not only was the food amazing, but I was also able to be SO present with my kids while I was cooking it. All of the mental work was done for me, so I was free to really engage with my kids. I could answer every "Mommy!" without worrying about what was going on with dinner. All of the guesswork was gone.
