HelloFresh Cheddar Grilled Cheese & Creamy Tomato Soup

 

HelloFresh Cheddar Grilled Cheese & Creamy Tomato Soup

Grilled cheese & tomato soup is one of my fav meals, but I wouldn't normally get it from Hello Fresh since it's so simple to make at home. But it was offered for like $5 as an add-on, not as one of the dinner options. I figured $5 for a quick lunch is great.

But this is incredible. It's the best grilled cheese & tomato soup I've ever had. The herb butter really makes it, and they actually gave slices of Sargento cheese. Sourdough is always the best for grilled cheese, and the soup was thick and flavorful. I would definitely get this every time I see it if it is like $6 and under lol. Maybe $7.

Gouda Pork Burgers with Caramelized Sriracha Onion & Potato Wedges

 

Gouda Pork Burgers with Caramelized Sriracha Onion & Potato Wedges

Honestly, this is incredible. I LOVED this. It's in my top Hello Fresh meals if not my fav recipe I've made. It's easy to recreate at home for sure, but it's super nice to have everything all ready and not have to think after a long day. I will get this every time I'm subscribed and it's available for sure. So much flavor. I added the extra sriracha to my burger and left it off my sons since he's not into too much spicy.

Hello Fresh Creamy Caramelized Onion Meatloaves

 

Hello Fresh Creamy Caramelized Onion Meatloaves

These were really good! The instructions called to make 4 loaves but since there is only 3 of us I made 3, which was the perfect size. My teenager also had some garlic bread on the side. I did add an egg to the meatloaf because we had it, and I added garlic to everything. I would get this again for sure. I kept skimming the directions and couldn't for the life of me find what to do with the broccoli (I was very distracted lol) so I just air fried it at 400 for like 15 min. Later I saw what the instructions said, oh well still good since I love roasted broccoli.

It was also pretty quick to make so that's always a plus!

Hello Fresh Chicken Thyme with Zucchini Couscous

 

Hello Fresh Chicken Thyme with Zucchini Couscous

Hello Fresh sent some good coupons and I really needed a break from meal planning so I decided to resubscribe for a week. I know generally meal services like this are super expensive, but when they have good coupons it's 100% worth it. You don't have to find recipes, grocery shop....nothing. They send what you need and you don't have to think lol. Plus it's a good way to try new things you might normally try. We are pretty adventurous but there are recipes I would never normally choose so that's fun.

This was SUPER good! One of my top fav Hello Fresh recipes now. It made a lot of couscous but the chicken portions were kinda small, so I was worried it wouldn't be enough for my husband and teenager. We have a loaf of rosemary sourdough that I toasted with butter, garlic and parm for some garlic bread. It's perfect. The freshness of the lemon with the zucchini is so good. It actually called for way more lemon zest and lemon juice then I added, I thought it was plenty....maybe they gave us big lemons. The sauce/gravy is DELICIOUS, like I need to recreate it even without a subscription. 

Hello Fresh Sweet & Spicy Pork Chops

 

Hello Fresh Sweet & Spicy Pork Chops

Everything had a really good flavor, but it did need some rice or something. The sauce would be super good over the rice. It's not spicy at all, so next time I might add some more sriracha or some chili crisp. I would try it again though!

Hello Fresh Ancho BBQ Burgers

 

Hello Fresh Ancho BBQ Burgers

These were good, nothing too special really. I liked the grilled onions and the bbq/jam sauce. I'd get it again if there was nothing more exciting lol.

Hello Fresh Pork Meatloaf Parm

 

Hello Fresh Pork Meatloaf Parm

I'm not a huge spaghetti person. I mean I *like* it, but I'd never order it or say "Let's go out for spaghetti!" But this was SO GOOD. The sauce was very flavorful for only being cooked for like 10 minutes. The meatloaf was super good too, the coating added a nice crunch. The only thing I did differently is that I added garlic in both the sauce and the meatloaf. I'd definitely order this again. 

Hello Fresh Onion Crunch Chicken

 

Hello Fresh Onion Crunch Chicken

We've had this before, it's really good. The sauce is a honey mustard, and the chicken is coated in it along with those dried crunchy onion things. The extra chicken coating I tossed in with the green beans for extra flavor. Yum this one is always good.

Hello Fresh Ancho BBQ Burgers

 

Hello Fresh Ancho BBQ Burgers

These were really good, very flavorful. I love anything with caramelized onions! I accidentally put the cheese on too early and lots melted off before they were done, which was sad. I ended up crisping up the fries in the oven afterwards. Loved the garlic aioli!

Hello Fresh Sante Fe Pork Tacos

 

Hello Fresh Sante Fe Pork Tacos

I liked how quick this was, and there was tons of food for 3 people. It did taste good but it wasn't anything too special. It needed more cilantro, there was barely any. I did heat the tortillas on a pan instead of microwaving them, and I liked the leftovers a lot better actually! I definitely underfilled the first ones that I took a picture of, I wanted to make sure there was enough for all of us. But there is plenty so I could of filled them a lot fuller. 

Hello Fresh Cheesy Smothered Mushroom Chicken

 

Hello Fresh Cheesy Smothered Mushroom Chicken

I'm not normally a huge mushroom fan but this was delicious! The portion sizes for 3 seem to be way larger then the sizes for 2. The only change I made was that on the carrots and in the mashed potatoes I used a salt/pepper/garlic blend. I would definitely order this again.

Hello Fresh Street Cart Style Chicken Bowls

 

Hello Fresh Street Cart Style Chicken Bowls

When this popped up on my menu I was thinking it was Mexican, I really didn't even pay attention. But it's Middle Eastern inspired and I LOVED it! I so messed it up though lol. I only added 1 of the packages of chicken, I totally forgot we got 2. I also put one of the shawarma spices in the rice instead of the turmeric seasoning, so I just put the rest on the chicken. THEN I forgot to cook the scallion whites with the chicken! I usually am not that bad, I guess pregnancy brain. But I loved it so much and I want to make it again. Ethan fell asleep before dinner and Craig had a late lunch so he wasn't hungry, so they are having their's for dinner tonight. Or I can make something else and I can have their leftovers lol.

Cheddar-Stuffed Meatloaves with Potato Wedges, Carrots, Crispy Shallot & Special Sauce

 

Hello Fresh Cheddar-Stuffed Meatloaves with Potato Wedges, Carrots, Crispy Shallot & Special Sauce

   The meatloaves and fries were delicious, the carrots were kinda gross and the whole thing was a pain lol. It used a ton of dishes, the crispy shallots burned super easy and the carrots were flavorless with just salt and pepper. 

   Luckily I had some crispy fried onions in the cupboard, and I tossed the carrots in a mixture of hot honey and butter which was better. I like the idea and I'd making something like this again, but I wouldn't order it from Hello Fresh. 

Hello Fresh Sausage Rigatoni Rosa

 

Hello Fresh Sausage Rigatoni Rosa

    So the sausage actually smelled off I think, so I subbed in some chopped chicken thighs instead. I did add Italian seasoning, salt & pepper to the chicken to make up for the loss of seasoning of the sausage. Other then that it was the same recipe. It was good, kinda generic even with the sausage. But it's quick and easy so I like that!

Hello Fresh Gouda Vibes Burgers with Tomato & Onion Jam with Potato Wedges

 

Hello Fresh Gouda Vibes Burgers with Tomato & Onion Jam with Potato Wedges

  I really liked this, I probably could have put more salt in the jam though. My husband and son just said it was "ok". So we probably wouldn't get this again but I like the idea for sure.

Hello Fresh Onion Crunch Chicken with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Green Beans

 

Hello Fresh Onion Crunch Chicken with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Green Beans

This is actually the second time we've ordered the onion crunch chicken, it's so good. It has a honey mustard sauce and is coated in those crunchy onion things and Monterey jack cheese. The green beans are just roasted along side it with salt and pepper. My teenage sons plate has toast since the servings aren't really enough for him. Delicious though!

Hello Fresh Sweet & Spicy Pork Noodle Stir-Fry

 

Hello Fresh Sweet & Spicy Pork Noodle Stir-Fry

  This was really good, I thought it was on the dry side and a little too sweet. So we added some sriracha and chili crunch to tame some of the sweetness. I would add some pasta water to help it not to be so dry next time. But the flavor was good and we'd order it again. 

Hello Fresh Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

 

Hello Fresh Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

    This was delicious! I didn't pay attention and I didn't realize it was a pork LOIN not a pork chop. It would of been a nicer presentation if I sliced it into rounds, the sauce could of covered it a bit better. My husband said it was super good though, and he's really honest with my cooking lol. 

   I did actually put it in the air fryer since these pork cuts were super thick. I browned it well on each side in a pan and it was starting to look too done, but the temp wasn't high enough. So I threw it in the air fryer for 350 for about 15 minutes and then it was done. 

  I also accidentally added shallots to the rice, tonight was not a paying attention night lol. We'd definitely order this again though!

  My teenage son was at a friends house tonight, but it wouldn't of been enough for him. I would have to of air fried some egg rolls or something since the portions aren't that big for Hello Fresh. 

Hello Fresh Citrus Pork Tacos

 

Hello Fresh Citrus Pork Tacos

   These were just okay, I love tacos but I don't know they just had an odd flavor. Maybe it was the citrus I don't like? My husband didn't care too much for them either. They were fine but not one we'd order again. I liked the idea of pickling the onions with lime & a little sugar! It was also super fast so I love it just for that lol.

Hello Fresh BBQ Ranch Chicken Flatbreads

 

Hello Fresh BBQ Ranch Chicken Flatbreads

    I loved these, I love any type of flatbread recipe though. I was surprised that my husband loved them too since he's generally not a bbq sauce chicken guy. I did add onions because we had them. The little bags of cheese that they came with didn't look like they'd be enough, but it was plenty. The chicken came prechopped which was super nice. I liked how easy and quick it was!
