It’s summer which means the kids are home and we are busier than ever. I find myself craving time with my husband and yet with the kids home and our schedules busy it’s hard to find the time. The one thing my husband enjoys is spending time in the kitchen. His cooking skills have gotten much better and he’s quite the chef. That’s why we find ourselves spending time making and preparing meals together.
We recently had the chance to try out HelloFresh, a unique meal service that sends you everything you need to make three delicious meals right at home. Right away I liked that the HelloFresh meals were packed full of flavor and quite unique. Many of the dishes are ones I wouldn’t try myself so it was nice to get to explore new flavors.

Our first box arrived with everything for three meals – a Watermelon and Farro Salad with Mozzarella, Cucumber, and Black-Pepper Candied Pecans, there was also a Juicy Lucy Burger with Tomato-Red Onion Jam and Charred Romaine and Garlic Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa Verde and Spiced Honey-Butter Corn.

The first recipe I wanted to try was the garlic lime chicken. So my husband and I spent some time the kitchen enjoying one anothers company creating this meal.

I really think the honey butter on the corn with the jalapenos made this dish truly fantastic. It’s spicy and fresh and most of all flavorful. I would easily see us making this dish again and again. HelloFresh Charred Garlic-Lime Chicken (1)

I really think the highlight is the roasted corn. The recipes were very easy to make and my husband enjoying making this dish with me. It was a simple way to spend that quality time together and we can do this every night and keep exploring more flavors with HelloFresh.

    I love the Hello Fresh meals. We didn’t stick with them because it’s a little pricey for a family of 5, but my younger brother and his wife ordered them every week for a year.

    Hello Fresh sounds fabulous. I have tried a few fresh delivery companies and they were each great. I like the idea of a gourmet meal being all planned out for me.

    My husband and I could use another date night. We haven’t had one in a long while, and we stay in for our date nights (6 kids, its kind of the only way) so this would be great. That corn looks amazing.

    That corn looks insanely yummy. We are hosting this month’s neighborhood BBQ, and I was looking for something, like this, that was a little special.

    Everything looks great but the corn is my favorite also. There is just something about roasting that makes it extra good. YUM!

    Roasted Corn is one of my summer favorites, YUM! Hello Fresh sounds like a fun way to try out new recipes, and not ‘over shop’ and then have to toss stuff, great way to have fresh ingredients on hand, thanks for the share!
