Home Chef Review

I tried Home Chef, and this is what I discovered!

You might be thinking:"Is this just another home meal delivery kit?"

I tried Home Chef with my friends and family, and I can honestly say no, it's not!

I have tried Hello Fresh and Blue Apron meal deliveries in the past. When I was on their sites, I was unable to find multiple meals that I wanted to eat on their menu. There were a limited amount of options, and with a son having a dairy allergy, I was not satisfied with the selection from the other meal services. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Home Chef offered multiple meals with no dairy that we would actually enjoy eating! With 13 menu options every week, you're bound to find meals for your whole family to enjoy! Home chef has an easy-to-navigate website and delicious meal options, so it takes first place in meal planning and development in my book! I was able to choose the day I wanted my delivery on, and was able to skip weeks or even months if I didn't want to have deliveries every week. The possibilities are endless! 

When my box arrived at my front door, I was so excited to see the quality and freshness of the produce. I was blown away by the veggies that were in the box! They looked like they were picked right out of the garden that morning! All veggies were kept separate from the meats, and everything was chilled on recyclable ice packs and insulated materials to keep it fresh. Everything looked amazing!



This is one of the Home Chef bags for my coffee-crusted steaks with brown butter carrots and mashed potatoes! YUUUM!

On the day of my party, my mom came over to help me cook all this amazing food! Even making enough food for 6 people, we still were able to make a majority of the meals in under 45 minutes which was awesome for such complex and wonderful meals! I thoroughly enjoyed the family time I was able to spend with her in the kitchen. Our menu for this week included turkey stuffed tex-mex poblanos (which I found out were actually pretty spicy so be warned if spice isn't your thing), french onion chicken penne (crowd favorite, super delicious), chipoltle ranch chicken salad, pork tacos, and the steak dish mentioned above. My friends and family were so excited to come over and try all the amazing food! With the ease and convenience of Home Chef, I was able to cook 5 meals for all 7 attendees in a few hours. Everything was delicious and my guests were interested in getting Home Chef boxes themselves! I highly recommend Home Chef for busy parents who don't want to plan, shop, prep, and measure all their meals, but still want to serve healthy and fresh meals for their families!
