MarleySpoon Mealbox review!

In order to start eating better and cut down on length of trips to the grocery store we decided to try a mealbox, we looked into 2 options Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon.  We decided on trying Marley Spoon because the food is more of what we are used to eating, it looked more adventurous and tasty, We are very pleased with the results, every meal has fed us and usually with leftovers.  Every one has been delicious and simple to prepare even with having to translate them from Dutch to English. When you pick the meals you are ordering they let you know for each recipe what you will need to have on hand ingredient-wise which is just things like vinegar, salt, pepper etc and what kitchen things you'll need like a baking sheet etc.  I have included pictures of how it arrives and several of the meals we've made. You can order the meals here in the Netherlands: https://marleyspoon.nl and in the USA: www.marleyspoon.com

This specific meal is stroganoff, which we haven't made yet but I wanted to show an example of how things came.

This is a clearer view of the front of the recipe cards. I didn't inlude the back because it's in Dutch but it's 6 pictures with instructions on how to prepare the ingredients: 

FINALLY the meals:

Chocolate Chilli

Ok so to a lot of people that's no big deal but being from Arizona snow is kind of a big deal.  This was Reks' first snowfall ever and he just turned 9 lol so it was pretty great!
