If you do not know what home chef is, I go into more detail about it in my first home chef blog. Basically, I am shipped just the right amount of ingredients to make myself dinners!
This meal I made was Southwestern Shrimp Salad. This salad was pretty easy to make, and also pretty tasty. My only complaint is that I wish I had used less of the seasoning packet in the "dressing". I really liked it otherwise. The salad kept me full for awhile too, which is fantastic! I left out the onions this time around, lesson learned in the first meal, and I feel like that was a good choice on my part. That's one of my favorite things about this program, you can customize your food to how you like it. You can take out or add things you'd like! Comparing their dish and mine side by side, it doesn't look nearly as similar. Theirs looks a lot better! It was still tasty though and made a lot of food. **Side note- want the recipe?

I received my first shipment from Home Chef June 23rd. In the box was 3 meals, 3 recipes, a binder to hold the recipes, a coupon, some ice packs, and fruit. All of this cost about $70 a week. The fruit basket cost extra, and I don't know if I will get a binder and coupon with every package yet. Each meal gives me two full servings.
The first meal I decided to make was Chicken Queso. If you look at the pictures below, I think my meal turned out great, almost as good as their picture. It took me a little while longer than I thought it would because I had to cut up all of the vegetables. All in all though, it was cool to do and it turned out yummy. I'm not the type that can cook very well, bake- yes, cook- not so much. This made it easy for me to cook, and I had a whole meal left over for the next day! I was pretty proud of myself to see that I could make something like that, and it helped that all of the ingredients were right in my kitchen thanks to Home Chef. The food was good, there was so much that I couldn't finish it all. The sauce was really good and creamy, and I loved the tomatoes in it. I never would have thought to have done that. If I could go back and make it again, I would leave out the onions. I am not a huge raw onion fan and felt like I could taste them for days after. I suppose I should have known better.
