Blue Apron Cook Book

Summer Cooking with Blue Apron- Cook Book
Summer Cooking with Blue Apron- Cook Book

There have been many people I have talked with who either have too big or too little a family to justify Blue Apron, are unsure about getting food in the mail, or are not in an area that Blue Apron delivers to. All of them, however, either loved Blue Apron's food or love the way it looks. For those and everyone else out there who enjoys eating, you are in luck! The hubs just informed me a few days ago that Blue Apron now has a cook book and it is on pre-order.

The book is filled with Blue Apron's favorite summer recipes in their always easy to understand format. Blue Apron has taken 50 of their most popular summer recipes, improved on them based on customer feedback, and added them to a cookbook just for us. I love Blue Apron's recipes and am so excited to see the improvements they have made to already yummy meals. The cookbook also has dessert recipes and a whole rundown on different summer foods.

What I love more than any of this is the Feast with Friends section. Sure, a good cocktail and dessert is almost always appropriate, but being able to share some of these ridiculously good meals with friends makes me over the moon excited! Hopefully the title, Summer Cooking with Blue Apron- A Collection of Simple, Seasonal Recipes Vol. 1, is a good indication of what Blue Apron has planned for the future. Yes, I will be pre-ordering this one and all other seasonal cookbooks they are [fingers crossed] making throughout the year!

Summer Cooking with Blue Apron is currently on pre-order until July 31st. Best to order yours ahead of time since they have knocked the price down to $22.95 (from $29.95) until the pre-order has ended. Did I mention that it is a limited edition? Better get to the getting!

Also, if you have not read it yet, here is my review of Blue Apron and Hello Fresh :)

Hello Fresh Meal- Gnocchi with butternut squash, spinach, and goat cheese

Happy Sunday, I hope your Valentine's Day was fantastic!! This week I read a great article on Houzz about how to get them most out of your weekend. There are a few things on this list that we are planning to do today! The hubs and I have some friends who buy us tickets to a show every year for Christmas and this year they got us tickets to Once. So, tonight we are going to Once and meeting up with said friends at their favorite new eatery beforehand. Oooo, I cannot wait for some serious fun and serious eating tonight.

If you follow me on instagram, then you know this week has really been all about eating for us. Our first Hello Fresh order came this week and our third Blue Apron. There has been lots of cooking and tasting and reviewing of said meal plans. Hopefully, there will be a very in depth review article with a very clear winner in the following couple of days.
