There's no better time than summer for a BBQ. There's nothing like pulling out your grill in your backyard and enjoying cooking under the sun. Except…I live in an apartment, so my summer grills are not what you might picture.
But that didn't let me down! There's a way I could still enjoy the summer spirit: through delicious food. Last weekend, my husband and I set up a BBQ at-home date, all thanks to HelloFresh! 🌞🍴
HelloFresh: quick, easy and perfect for me!
I was never behind meal prep subscriptions until I tried HelloFresh. All the five-star reviews were right! This will literally change your life and the way you think about cooking at home.
HelloFresh offers over 40 weekly recipes and 100+ seasonal goods to mix and match to create the perfect menu. This helped me organize my meals, yes, but it also taught me how fun food and cooking can be! Not to mention, it's the most convenient thing ever since they just deliver your boxes straight to your door. 🏡
You can personalize it however you want: I go with more vegetarian-focused meals, while my husband goes for keto-approved carnivore meals. Every single meal comes pre-portioned, so I have less food prep AND less food waste! And most importantly? HelloFresh only uses the highest quality/premium ingredients, so I don't have to sacrifice quality for comfort.
Since we started using HelloFresh, we've noticed we don't choose to order food or go out to restaurants as often. And a little birdie told me that subscribing to HelloFresh is 25% cheaper than takeout! 🤑
I've tried other meal prep services in the past, but nothing compares with the personalization, quality, and easiness of HelloFresh. They even run on renewable energy! ♻️ So I honestly feel so good about ALL my food choices.
My Top 3 Grill-Free HelloFresh Meals
With HelloFresh, I learned that I could cook grill-like meals in my apartment without ever firing up one! These are some of my favorite ones.
Honey-Butter BBQ Pork Chops (my husband's favorite)
The Sweet and Smoky BBQ Seasoning has become a summer basic for my husband. The secret of making it even better? Soft butter, salt and honey. This was his go-to lunch for the whole week!
Shroom n' Swiss Beef Burgers (a happy medium for both of us)
My husband had his moment with the juicy beef while I stole the sauteed mushrooms for myself. How couldn't I? If the combination with the Swiss cheese was out of this world. He had his meaty burger, and I could enjoy a vegetarian version of it, it was a win-win! 🌟 All this is between two potato buns and crispy oven fries on the side, with the chance of dipping everything you want in honey Dijon. 🍟
Easy Breezy Grilling Cheesy (my favorite)
Who says you need meat to grill something? In this house, I'm a self-proclaimed grilled cheese fanatic. But this isn't your grandma's grilled cheese. This is restaurant-worthy grilled cheese. HelloFresh took this dish to another level with Italian spices and a lemony couscous with sautéed kale and grape tomatoes. Grilled cheese but make it fancy. 😎
Life-Changing Meals at Home
Turns out we didn't need a backyard grill to enjoy a super fresh summer lunch! I learned a lot about flexibility from using my HelloFresh subscription to cook grill-inspired meals right from my apartment. And, as it turns out, you often don't need much to cook memorable meals right at home!
