Pork Meatballs w/ Beet & Cranberry Agrodolce


OMG ... beets, fresh cranberries, farrow, baby kale, pork meatballs .... this was an awesome recipe!!! The combination of flavors and textures was really spot on.

I'd never cooked farrow before this recipe; and this is the first time (to my recollection) that I've ever made pork meatballs as well as my first time cooking with raw cranberries. So good.

Have I mentioned that I love Blue Apron?!

Homemade Applesauce


It has cinnamon and clove in it as well as a little sugar. :)

Seared Salmon & Fall Veg


The apple-brown butter vinaigrette for the top is really really tasty. The fall veg underneath also tasty (potato and brussel sprouts cooked in olive oil, yum ... it was supposed to have a turnip as well, but it withered in my fridge).

Blue Apron Boxes

I really love these boxes! They take the thought out of shopping, ha ha ha, and are making it so that I cook things I would never have made otherwise. :) They've also made me realize, "duh Margaret," that pre-chopped all ingredients before starting to cook (and or, prepping all ingredients) is a really REALLY smart idea.

The prep times are usually about 15minutes, with cook times that range between 20 and 40 minutes. Easy peasy and really tasty dishes.

Blue Apron: Cod Sandwich w/Caper Aioli & Endive Salad


The mayonnaise for this is STELLAR ... mayo with minced and then crushed garlic, roughly chopped capers and salt and pepper to taste. YUMMO!
