I was not compensated in any way for my review of Hello Fresh. All opinions are my own.
I'm back after a nice long weekend at the lake with friends. The weather was fantastic and it gave me a nice chance to unplug. But yesterday was back to work!
Luckily, dinner was one less thing to worry about because last week I bought a Living Social for Hello Fresh. HF is very similar to Blue Apron, which I reviewed last year. You are sent the ingredients for 3 meals along with instructions once a week. Last night was the first meal we were able to prepare and we went for the Cuban-Style Beef Picadillo.

Some of ingredients included cinnamon and raisins, which I was a little surprised to put with ground beef, but it turned out fantastic! It was a perfect balance of savory with a touch of sweet.
I will say that the amount we prepared seemed like a lot larger portion sizes than what we received from Blue Apron. We didn't even finish the whole dish! Since this is only our first meal i'm not sure if the portions are large across the board, but if they are this will be a major perk. I love having leftovers for lunch!
A rave review for our first Hello Fresh dish! I'll keep you updated with our others!
Happy Wednesday!
