Food from a box

Wednesday, February 5, 2025

Alexander has been getting meal prep ingredients/recipes from Home Chef for a couple weeks. He has given pretty much all of them really good reviews and says he has been a far greater variety of food than when he just shops and cooks for one. We jumped in with him and added a meal last week (Buffalo style stuffed chicken breast and carrots) and this week (French Onion beef with cheese risotto). We really enjoyed both meals – I loved the chicken breast and Keith loved the risotto beef one, but we both love the carrots. What is that about? There was nothing mysterious about them; cut thin-ish, baked, oil, spices, something else…I have the recipe. When we finished the portion that came with the meal, we made more with our own carrots. Yay.

I love knowing what is for dinner. We may have to get food from a box, too, ….in between vacations.

But grocery shopping is my most favorite thing.

Mmm.

I will think about this.

All of the pictures are from Alexander, including the POTD – which is what we also had for dinner tonight.
