HomeChef

I am still on the fence with HomeChef.  On one hand I can cook without someone simplifying it and I can make it for cheap, on the other I really really dislike the grocery store.  Homechef delivers the ingredients and easy recipes to meals you choose.  You can set up how many meals, how often you want delivery, etc.  I've had 2 weeks of delivery and I have stopped my account for next week.  This time around I have three meals to cook and eat so I need a time out.

What I've tried so far has been tasty and very easy to put together.  Sometimes I can cook, eat, and clean up in under an hour.

My first shipment was two meals, each meal 2 servings.

Cheddar Chili Aoil Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries.  This recipe was spicier than I expected, but it was really really tasty.  My house smelled like burgers for several day.


Peanuty Chicken with Bok Choy and Rice.  This one came with a packet of Sriracha so you can control the spice.   The egg roll was a frozen veggie one from my freezer.


My second shipment is actually three meals, 2 are vegetarian, and one is considered a lunch, but I'm totally making it for dinner.

This is the most amazing flatbread I've ever had!!!  I wish I had bought three orders LOL
Fig jam, caramelized onion, mozz cheese, goat cheese, toasted walnuts, olive oil splashed arugula.  Everything was perfect.  I'm surprised how filling it was.

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet.

I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread.
