The girls have agreed to cook dinners - Ella two and Katy one - as part of their choice of chores in exchange for pocket money. We have been doing this for several months encouraging the girls to choose the meal they wish to cook. Recently their dinner have become very repetitive and one may say lacking inspiration!
Various friends and work colleagues have been impressed by using Hello Fresh - a company that provides meal kits which are delivered to your door. Thanks to a friends freebie voucher, we decided to give Hello Fresh a go.
The beauty of the Hello Fresh set up is that the girls choose from a set weekly list, the meals that they would like to cook. The said three meals arrive on our doorstep on Monday morning packed into a big box. It is Ella's job to unpack the contents.
Unfortunately in our first order, the lamb was missing and a packet of beef in it's place. Not quite sure that pistachio crusted beef works. Also the recipe card was missing and we instead had 2 copies for the dessert. Not a great start really.
Over the next three nights, Ella and Katy were excited to be cooking. Pistachio crusted lamb, Halloumi and tomato relish burgers and Creamy bacon and tomato fettuccine with pear salad were the meals of choice. Each meal had an easy to follow recipe card outlining the steps to produce the meal.
I must admit, that despite the cost and excess plastic packing, it was lovely to have the girls making dinner so happily! We will continue on with this plan for a few weeks and see what happens.
