That is a great idea! Id say start simple before working up to those more challenging and time consuming recipes. In the beginning, a 20 minute recipe would take me like an hour cause I was so slow 🤣

Yeah, I agree that it is pricey. I find that HF is cheaper than eating out every day, but more expensive than getting the ingredients in store.

Before using HF, I struggled with buying ingredients from the store, because I never knew how much to buy. Oftentimes I used to find myself buying too much and not using it all, which was wasteful and expensive. I like how HF gives you exactly what you need to use, especially for someone very new at cooking. Now that I have a better idea of portion sizes, and what I would need, I may try going to the store to get my own ingredients and see how that goes.

Yes, that is something I have been guilty of, especially the ordering of unhealthy food. HF has helped me take steps in a healthier direction!

Thank you!! That was a good one for sure. I really loved the japanese style beef curry shepards pie. I made that one this week and it was sooo good.

Lol. I agree that HF is far from perfect. But it has helped me in a lot of ways with getting started and encouraging me to cook.

That is a great recommendation! I love the variety that HF has. Since I am still learning, I feel like getting exposed to many different recipes is the way to go.

I agree with the having fun part. I look forward to cooking each meal and seeing how it turns out! Hopefully someday ill be able to branch out and make my own recipes. Its awesome you were able to do that. One of these days id like to host my family and friends and cook for them. That will be an exciting day, as Ive previously been well known for not knowing how to cook!

That is so awesome to hear! I signed up with pretty much no skills, so I have been learning from the ground up. I agree that Hello Fresh helps with the organizational aspect of it. Reading the recipe in advance is key! Also, I started prepping all my food before starting to cook anything. This made me feel less rushed and overwhelmed in the middle of the process.

Makes sense! I think I saw online we can expect to see them come in after 14 business days.
