It’s true, sometimes all it takes is one trial.\u00a0 After trying the Plated meal kit for Vietnamese Meatballs with Chile-Lime Dressing<\/a>,\u00a0 and being impressed by the convenience and taste, I decided it was finally time for me to join the 21st century and try\u00a0 other meal kits.\u00a0 There are a myriad of companies selling these, of course, but I settled on Hello Fresh<\/strong><\/a> because I’d gotten tons and tons of coupons for it with other stuff I’d bought online.<\/p>\n I didn’t look at the menu until after I signed up & paid, and I was actually disappointed once I saw the options.\u00a0 Most of the offerings seemed to be mainstream American food with a little twist.\u00a0 I was further disappointed that many of the recipes that sounded more exciting and that included steak or other more expensive ingredients had a $12 premium! A $12 pp meal is no bargain, but at $18 pp, we’re talking about restaurant prices.\u00a0 Still, I was able to find a couple of recipes that sounded good.\u00a0 If you want to try Hello Fresh, use this link<\/a> and you’ll save $40 off your first delivery (and I’ll get $30 off my next),\u00a0 which gives you a better deal than the promo I used!\u00a0 Remember to cancel within 2 days of getting your first box to not be charged again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I wasn’t expecting much of this dish based on the title.\u00a0 We’re not big taco eaters at home.\u00a0 However, this dish was better tasting than it had any right to be.\u00a0 The kiwi salsa was particularly refreshing and unusual, and I can imagine making it again (recipe follows).\u00a0 I had never thought of mixing sour cream with lime juice<\/strong> before, but it was a good idea and I’ll do it again as well..<\/p>\n The pork itself was pretty tasty and while the Mexican spice almost<\/em> gave it the flavor of Mexican chorizo, it was mild and tasty.\u00a0 This is not my favorite flavor, however.<\/p>\n The meal made four tacos, so two per person.\u00a0 It was just the *right* amount of food to satisfy me, though as I had an early dinner, I was hungry later.\u00a0 So far this have been the same problem with all the kit meals I’ve made.<\/p>\n In all, I thought the meal was great for the discounted price I paid for it, but I can get very good tacos for less than $12 pp at my corner Mexican restaurant (albeit not with this great kiwi salsa).<\/p>\n Kiwi Salsa<\/strong><\/p>\n In a bowl, mix together the chopped tomato, kiwi, onion and cilantro.\u00a0 Squeeze a lime half on the chopped vegetables.\u00a0 Season with salt and pepper and mix well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rating: 7.5\/10 It’s true, sometimes all it takes is one trial.\u00a0 After trying the Plated meal kit for Vietnamese Meatballs with Chile-Lime Dressing,\u00a0 and being impressed by the convenience and taste, I decided it was finally time for me to join the 21st century and try\u00a0 other meal kits.\u00a0 There are a myriad of companies […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[388,11],"tags":[395,393,394],"class_list":["post-1706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meal-kits","category-recipes","tag-hello-fresh","tag-kiwi","tag-salsa","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1706\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n
