Over the past few weeks we have enjoyed our Dinnerly meals that have been provided through Connections Academy, the online school we use for homeschooling. I had said I would share photos and what we thought of the recipes. I have not very simply because I'm not overly impressed. I've had to combine some recipes to even give enough food for three of us to eat for dinner. The variety is very slim and the serving sizes are small. They often only give a main dish or meat and potatoes - not a lot of veggies - and I have to supplement a lot to get it to stretch as a meal. My opinion is that Hello Fresh did a much better job at providing enough food, enough variety, and even the items that made a full meal. They also provided beautiful recipe cards with lots of photos. Dinnerly does not provide recipe cards - I have to print them and they have no photos. BUT I'm still making good on the meals - I'm ordering meals with cuts of meat that I could use for different recipes. For example. many recipes come with Ranch Steaks which are great for beef tips, fajitas, and more. Or chicken that I can use in quesadillas and soups. Right now that is a huge savings since meat is so pricey in the store!
Here's the plan for the coming week
Friday - Mississipi Pot Roast, Mashed Potatoes and Corn
Saturday - At my mom's!
Sunday - We have a potluck at church. I plan to take meatballs and I think a salad. I haven't decided on that piece yet!
Monday - Beef Tips and Noodles
Tuesday - Dinnerly - Lemony Chicken and Linguine and Vegetarian Nicoise Salad (these are two separate Dinnerly recipes that I'm serving together. ) I'll probably add garlic bread too.
Wednesday - Tacos. Easy Peasy
Thursday - Dinnerly - Pork Tenderloin, corn, Mac and Cheese and biscuits. (It only comes with the pork and corn)
