Did you know that ripe cranberries can actually bounce like rubber balls…
Or that one fast food hamburger may contain meat from roughly 100 cows!
You learn something new (even if you may not want to) every day… Right?
And if you’re currently eating a burger right now… You’re welcome.
Well… I am about to inform you about something else you might not know…
I do not own an apron….
Say WHAT?
STOP THE PRESSES!
GiGi does NOT OWN AN APRON, FOLKS!
When a specific meal delivery service got wind of this ASTONISHING news… They knew what they had to do…
They had to send me a BLUE APRON delivery!
While there may not have been an apron included in the box left at my door (womp womp!)… Blue Apron did pack quite the assortment of farm-fresh foods (in a refrigerated box), to make three sexy-sounding, chef-designed meals, in the comfort of my own kitchen… All with extremely informative step-by-step instruction manuals…
Which means, you don’t even NEED an apron when preparing Blue Apron feasts because the instructions are so detailed, the recipes are “mess-proof”.
Okay, okay… Lets be real… I am a five-year-old in the kitchen… So I still made a mess.
Having Blue Apron delivered to your door (they offer two plans: the 2-person plan, which sends you one delivery a week, setting you back $9.99 per person per meal*, plus FREE SHIPPING & the family plan, which sends you one or two deliveries a week, setting you back $8.74 per person per meal*, plus FREE SHIPPING) is like hiring a personal celebrity chef to teach you how to create new mouth-pleasing exotic cuisine dishes!
No more trying to choke down that bland, boring and naked chicken breast accompanied by stinky-steamed Brussels sprouts.
How about some Piri-Piri Chicken with Coconut-Smached Plantains & Stewed Collard Greens!
SURE…SURE… this all sounds fine and DANDY… And some of you may actually be DROOLING right now…
But…You have, I am sure, been virtually SMACKED IN THE FACE by meal delivery service advertisements like Blue Apron… In the side bar of your Facebook Page… Nestled into your Twitter Feed… Clogging your email inbox(es)… Popping up over your entire computer screen, driving you to drink because you cannot find the X to get it away… And it’s overwhelming trying to figure out which service would be best suited for you and your taste buds…
Well, I don’t hold back in the latest GiGi Eats (when do I ever?) so be sure to check out the video below if you want a FULL SCOOP of Blue Apron’s Cod & Miso Soba Noodles… Just one of the three meals sent to my doorstep!
(No grocery shopping necessary… However I do want to go to the store and get some cranberries to test the rubber ball theory!)
