Kofta-Inspired Beef Bowls from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Thursday! Hubby and I prepared and cooked the Kofta-Inspired Beef Bowls with Chopped Salad and Lemony Yogurt from our HelloFresh box this evening.

Kofta-Inspired Beef Bowls from HelloFresh Canada

For breakfast, I cooked garlic fried rice and air-fried chicken sausage and made a ham & cheese omelette. I rarely spend more than 10 minutes for breakfast, but it's fun to cook in the morning. Afterwards, I reheated the Tuscan Sausage Linguine for our lunch. For the afternoon snack, I made flour tortilla chips using the air fryer from the last couple of tortillas that were about to expire.

Kofta-Inspired Beef Bowls from HelloFresh Canada

To end the food day, we enjoyed the Kofta-Inspired Beef Bowls. It was so delicious. It's the best HelloFresh meal this week! The fresh salad worked so well with the lemony yogurt on top of savoury beef.

Smart Shrimp Curry from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Wednesday! For dinner today, hubby and I prepared and enjoyed the Smart Shrimp Curry from our HelloFresh box.

Smart Shrimp Curry from HelloFresh Canada

I'm back at work today. For breakfast, I enjoyed a quesadilla and hot chocolate. Then, we reheated half of the Fiery Hunanese-Style Pork with Green Onion-Ginger Rice for lunch.

Going back to the Smart Shrimp Curry. It lacks salt, which is my fault. Whenever I see Garlic Salt in the ingredients list, I always get scared that it'll be too salty, so I didn't add enough salt to the dish. Otherwise, it has a good curry flavour. I wish it was spicier; fresh ginger would elevate the dish.

Tuscan Sausage Linguine from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Tuesday! I took today off from work just to get an extra do nothing day. My hubby and I prepared the Tuscan Sausage Linguine with Sweet Bell Pepper, Chili and Parmesan for lunch from our HelloFresh box.

Tuscan Sausage Linguine from HelloFresh Canada

I think we chopped the peppers too big. I also made some modifications to the recipe. I added a quarter cup of the salted water from the salted boiling water to the sauce in step 5. During the 5-6 minute "sauce thickens slightly" step. It added much-needed salt to the sauce. I remember having this recipe in the past, thinking it was bland except for the mild Italian ground beef.

Tuscan Sausage Linguine from HelloFresh Canada

I enjoyed the heat from the chilli flakes, the crunch from the bell pepper, and the creaminess from the parmesan cheese.

Below is the HelloFresh description for this meal.

Fiery Hunanese-Style Pork from HelloFresh Canada

Our HelloFresh box arrived Saturday morning on the day of Christmas Eve. We cooked our first meal from this box for dinner on Christmas Day. We prepared the Fiery Hunanese-Style Pork with Green Onion-Ginger Rice.

Fiery Hunanese-Style Pork with Green Onion-Ginger Rice from HelloFresh Canada

SALTY! I didn't add any salt, and it was salty. The ginger has a nice flavour, and there's still a hint of the white cooking wine, but overall it was a salty dish.

Below is the HelloFresh description for this meal.

Fiery Hunanese-Style Pork with Green Onion-Ginger Rice

HelloFresh Description:

Hunanese cuisine is known for its spice and lots of it! We've toned things down a little in our take on a classic Hunanese dish, but packed in plenty of flavour with chili garlic sauce, ginger, soy and oyster sauce.

Pasta Day: Chorizo Arrabiata from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Wednesday! It's pasta day in our household. First, we had a quesadilla and hot chocolate for breakfast (I know it's not pasta, but that's one of our usual breakfasts). Then, we enjoyed the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Toasted Pepitas and Tomatoes for lunch.

We cooked the Chorizo Arrabiata with Fresh Penne and Parsley from our HelloFresh box for dinner.

Chorizo Arrabiata with Fresh Penne and Parsley and Crave-Worthy Garlic Bread

SPICY! I added all the chilli flakes, and it made the dish spicy. The parsley did add some freshness to the plate, and the parmesan cheese made it slightly creamy. I wished the tomatoes weren't sliced in half to provide fresh acidity when you take a bite.

Chorizo Arrabiata with Fresh Penne and Parsley

Overall, a delicious dinner served with HelloFresh Crave-Worthy Garlic Bread.

Below is the HelloFresh description for this meal.

Chorizo Arrabiata with Fresh Penne and Parsley

Seafood Day: Gochujang Glazed Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

Happy snowing Tuesday! We don't get snow often in Vancouver, and I woke up to a big pile when I took a peek out our window.

It's seafood day at our household!

• Breakfast: Air Fried Boneless Skinless Tilapia and Potato Patties (Hash Browns)
• Lunch: Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp with Ginger Rice, Peppers, Carrots and Bok Choy from HelloFresh Canada
• Dinner: Gochujang Glazed Shrimp with Sesame Rice from HelloFresh Canada

For dinner tonight, hubby and I cooked Gochujang Glazed Shrimp with Sesame Rice from our HelloFresh box.

Gochujang Glazed Shrimp with Sesame Rice from HelloFresh Canada

SPICY! It was spicy because I added all the sriracha. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, but I wish there were more vegetables. Otherwise, it was a delicious healthy meal.

Below is the HelloFresh description for this meal.

Gochujang Glazed Shrimp with Sesame Rice

Meatless Monday: Butternut Squash Ravioli from HelloFresh Canada

Happy Monday!

We successfully did #MeatlessMonday today by having oatmeal for breakfast and the North African-Inspired Falafel and Green Couscous with Blistered Veggies and Creamy Harissa Sauce for lunch. Lastly, for dinner, we cooked the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Toasted Pepitas and Tomatoes from our HelloFresh box.

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Toasted Pepitas and Tomatoes from HelloFresh Canada

The pepitas provided an additional depth of flavour to the dish. I love the fresh tomatoes, onions, and spinach as it balances the creamy pesto sauce. This is a winning dish!

Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

I'm testing to see whether individual HelloFresh meal posts will do better than weekly ones.

It's a busy Sunday!

• We watched the World Cup Finals at home.
• It's snowing outside! 🌨️
• We had breakfast at Tim Hortons.
• We attended Sunday Mass.
• We shopped for gifts.
• We had lunch at Suika.
• We enjoyed a slice of Oreo Cheesecake at Trees.
• I wrapped presents at home with NFL Redzone in the background.

For dinner, we cooked the Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp with Ginger Rice, Peppers, Carrots, and Bok Choy from our HelloFresh Box.

Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

It was salty. It's delicious but has a little more salt than I'd like. Also, my husband mentioned that it was spicy. There's a subtle heat, but I have a high tolerance for spicy food.

Cal Smart Spicy Honey Shrimp from HelloFresh Canada

Shrimps were cooked perfectly (so I recommend following the instructions). I love the crunch of the vegetables, especially the bok choy.

When I was cooking it, all I could think of was Beef Broccoli that you get from Chinese restaurants. 😅

North African-Inspired Falafel and Green Couscous from HelloFresh Canada

I am "testing" to see if doing an individual post for each HelloFresh be better than doing one post for all the meals for the week.

Happy Saturday! My day started at 7:00 AM with cleaning the bathroom. Then, I took a 30-minute break before ironing a couple of our shirts for Sunday Mass. Afterwards, we reheated for 30 seconds the hopia we received from my parents, which I happily enjoyed with tea for breakfast.

At 10:47 AM, our HelloFresh box arrived! I looked at the recipe card and opted to cook the meal that took the longest, which happens to be the "North African-Inspired Falafel and Green Couscous with Blistered Veggies and Creamy Harissa Sauce." Hubby and I prepared it for lunch.

North African-Inspired Falafel and Green Couscous with Blistered Veggies and Creamy Harissa Sauce from HelloFresh Canada

The couscous was smooth and buttery. There is a nice mix of hearty vegetables, which gives the dish varying textures. However, the real winner of the dish is the falafel and harissa sauce. I'll happily eat those two in a wrap or on top of a salad. Yum!

North African-Inspired Falafel and Green Couscous with Blistered Veggies and Creamy Harissa Sauce from HelloFresh Canada

After lunch, we prepared to leave our home for Richmond, BC, where my parents and two siblings live. We had a delicious food coma dinner c/o of my dad. I am blessed to have wonderful parents who love to feed us. Thank God!

Below is the HelloFresh description for this meal.

11th HelloFresh Box for 2022

For this week, our HelloFresh box arrived on Monday. I took Monday and Tuesday off from work this week and have more time to cook HelloFresh during the day.

Kadai-Style Paneer with Peppers and Garlicky Basmati Rice

We cooked this meal Monday for lunch and had the leftovers for Wednesday's lunch.

I love HelloFresh when everything goes smoothly but immensely despise it when an ingredient is missing. It would have been forgivable if it was garlic or onions that I could quickly get in the grocery. But if it's a spice missing, then it's annoying.

Dal Spice is missing from this recipe, and I found out when I started cooking it. I don't plan to buy a bottle of Indian Dal Spice just because I need a tablespoon for this recipe. As expected, the lack of spice made the dish extremely bland. I am so disappointed.

Kadai-Style Paneer with Peppers and Garlicky Basmati Rice
Tonight, we're bringing you a twist on traditional Kadai paneer with spiced peppers, coconut milk, and garlicky basmati rice! Grab a spoon and get ready to dig in!

Wednesday Update: My husband was preparing to throw out the trash, and he found the Dal Spice inside the paper bag. Gah. I feel bad and stupid because I blamed HelloFresh for giving us bland food when I should have looked closer at the paper bag.

Fajita-Style Beef Bowls with Basmati Rice and Lime Crema

We cooked this meal Wednesday for dinner and had the leftovers for Thursday's lunch.

Delicious! Although I think I went overboard with adding too much lime zest on the lime crema and wished there were a bit more tomatoes, overall a delightful dish.

Fajita-Style Beef Bowls with Basmati Rice and Lime Crema
Easy, quick, and packed with flavour, this dish gives you the fiesta without the fuss! Bell peppers and green onions pair beautifully with tender beef to create a fajita bowl that comes together with smoky Mexican-style seasoning.

Maple-Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic Rice

We cooked this meal Thursday for dinner and had the leftovers for Monday's lunch.

It's sweet. If you don't like sweet meat, then I don't recommend this dish. Even with all the ginger in the box and salt, I still find it a bit too sweet.

Maple-Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic Rice
Maple, ginger, and soy sauce team up to make a zippy sauce that will make this stir-fry night a memorable one. In this sweet and savoury sauce, you'll find carrots, peppers, and juicy chicken. A base of garlicky rice and a garnish of green onions complete this stir-fry sensation.

Cal Smart Turkey Salad with Creamy Dressing and Feta

We cooked this meal Friday for lunch and had the leftovers for Tuesday's lunch.

I love the crispy apples, the turkey's juiciness, and the feta's saltiness. Overall, a wonderful low-calorie quick lunch.

Cal Smart Turkey Salad
This speedy salad is jam-packed with fresh tomatoes, crunchy carrots, and crisp apples then topped with juicy seared turkey and a delicious mayo dressing for a wholesome kickstart to your week!

Tuscan Sausage Linguine with Sweet Bell Pepper, Chili and Parmesan

We cooked this meal Sunday for lunch and had the leftovers for Wednesday's lunch.

I love the chili flakes and the heat it brings in. Overall, one of the heartiest pasta sauces HelloFresh has to offer.

Tuscan Sausage Linguine with Sweet Bell Pepper, Chili and Parmesan
Juicy pork sausage and garlic create the perfect flavour base for this classic pasta sauce. Built up with sweet peppers, chili and Parmesan cheese, this recipe is so simple and delicious that you'll want it to become a part of your weekly repertoire.

Spicy Gochujang Veggie Bibimbap Bowls with Jasmine Rice and Fried Eggs

We cooked this meal Sunday for dinner and had the leftovers for Friday's lunch.

First, I love the portobello mushrooms. On my first bite, the texture reminded me of bulgogi. The gochujang sauce was perfect. I hate that this dish tastes so good without meat.

Spicy Gochujang Veggie Bibimbap Bowls with Jasmine Rice and Fried Eggs
Spicy and saucy are coming your way in this hearty vegetarian dinner! This isn't just another rice bowl. Tonight, gochujang is firing things up, while sesame sautéed portobello mushrooms change up the veg game. Sunny-side-up eggs finish off the dish like a dream!

I don't have any more discounts from HelloFresh, so I am uncertain when I might get a box again.

What's for dinner? 10th HelloFresh Box for 2022

Our 10th HelloFresh Box for the year arrived Saturday morning, and we cooked the first meal from the box for dinner.

One of the reasons I like cooking with HelloFresh is because hubby helps me prepare dinner, and it becomes our daily bonding. Hubby and I work from home, so we're together 24/7, but we're usually busy doing our own work and activities, so preparing a HelloFresh meal almost every night is a great bonding time for us.

Braised Chicken and Mushrooms with Buttery Smashed Potatoes

We cooked this meal Saturday evening for dinner and Wednesday lunch.

It was surprisingly delicious. I added an extra tablespoon of milk than what the recipe requested, making the mashed potatoes more creamy. Meanwhile, the mushroom gravy was unexpectedly flavourful, thanks to all the onion and garlic salt.

Braised Chicken and Mushrooms with Buttery Smashed Potatoes from HelloFresh
Here comes the flavours of a slow-cooked homemade supper in a fraction of the time! Savoury mushrooms make this tender chicken dish taste like it's been bubbling away on the stove all day.

Garlic Shrimp Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Green Onion Rice

We cooked this meal Sunday evening for dinner and Friday lunch.

I love the perfectly cooked shrimp, and the broccoli made it feel so healthy. Plus, half of the serving is only 280 calories!

Garlic Shrimp Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Green Onion Rice from HelloFresh
When a stir-fry craving hits, put down that take-out menu and reach for this stunner of a recipe! You're going to absolutely love making this comforting, flavour-packed dish at home yourself!

Chili-Garlic Pork Noodles with Peppers and Celery

We cooked this meal Tuesday evening for dinner and Thursday lunch.

I love the glazed pork! The edges were almost burnt, and it was crunchy. There are a lot of flavours going on with this dish - sweet (from the sugar on the pork), salty, spicy (from the chilli garlic sauce), and umami (from the oyster sauce).

Chili-Garlic Pork Noodles with Peppers and Celery
Pork and sambal-style sauce make a playful pair in this spicy noodle dish! The savoury vegetarian oyster sauce adds a Southeast Asian twist, while the crowd-pleasing crispy shallots add a tasty crunch. These noodles will disappear in no time!

Saucy Beef Ragu with Olive Tapenade

We cooked this meal Wednesday evening for dinner and Saturday lunch.

I love the fresh tomatoes and olive tapenade at the top. If you can tolerate spice, then I recommend adding a lot of the chilli flakes. Those made the dish even better!

Saucy Beef Ragu with Olive Tapenade from HelloFresh
This twist on the classic spaghetti Bolognese is a winner! Penne replaces spaghetti, while the ragu is packed with tender ground beef and tons of flavour! Topped with a fresh olive tapenade, this dish will have everyone in your home going back for seconds!

Thai-Style Pork Beef Stir-Fry with Green Beans and Basil

We cooked this meal Thursday evening for dinner and Monday breakfast.

Unfortunately, HelloFresh sent us beef instead of pork. I used it for this dish because I had no choice and followed the instructions. I added a step of draining excess oil after sauteeing the beef. It came out alright. I'm not a fan of the beans, but I enjoyed the spiciness from the chilli being balanced by the sweet flavour from the onions and brown sugar.

Thai-Style Pork Beef Stir-Fry with Green Beans and Basil from HelloFresh
This speedy pork beef stir-fry is inspired by the vibrant flavours of Thailand! Zesty lime, sweet brown sugar, fresh basil, savoury soy, and spicy chili pepper harmonize in this flavourful dish.

Crispy Falafel Wraps with Tahini Dressed Slaw and Pickled Onions

We cooked this meal Friday evening for dinner.

It has too much slaw and the flavour from pickled onion was too strong. You can't taste the tahini flavour and there's not enough falafel.

Crispy Falafel Wraps with Tahini Dressed Slaw and Pickled Onions from HelloFresh
These wraps come fully loaded with crispy falafel covered in a nutty, tahini-dressed slaw. The pickled red onions give an acidic kick to liven up the palate!

Our next HelloFresh box will arrive on Monday.

9th HelloFresh Box for 2022

We scheduled our HelloFresh box to arrive on Monday last week because my husband did a half marathon run last Saturday, and we don't want to hurry back home afterwards for a delivery.

For this week, I ordered six meals at 50% off. Yay! I spent our usual budget for a week-worth of food, so I am pleased that I am not over budget for the first time in months.

Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese with Fresh Salad

We enjoyed this dish for Monday dinner and Tuesday lunch.

I love the bolognese sauce! It was creamy, a bit sweet, and meaty.

Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese
You can't beat a classic, and our traditional spaghetti Bolognese is here to prove just that! The delicate mixture of tomato, stock, cream, mirepoix, and thyme will please your taste buds and warm your soul.

Carb Smart Chipotle Beef Chili with Cheddar Cheese

We enjoyed this dish for Tuesday dinner and Wednesday lunch.

Our apartment smells like chipotle, and that's a good thing. I love the heat, warmth, and comfort the chilli provided, especially on a rainy day, typical of Vancouver's fall season. I also appreciate that half of the meal is only 305 calories.

Carb Smart Chipotle Beef Chili with Cheddar Cheese
This nourishing low-carb chilli swaps beans with lots of wholesome veggies! Spicy chipotle and melty cheddar cheese amp up the deliciousness.

Beef Banh Mi-Style Bowl with Pickled Carrots and Cucumbers

We enjoyed this dish for Thursday dinner and Friday lunch.

This is so good! It's one of the best HelloFresh meals we've had. I love the Sriracha Mayonnaise dressing and the pickled vegetables. It's really a Banh Mi meal with rice instead of a baguette.

Beef Banh Mi-Style Bowl with Pickled Carrots and Cucumbers from HelloFresh
We've taken the traditional banh mi sandwich and turned it on its head! This quick and tasty meal has everything you love about the original but is packed into a satisfying dinner with fluffy jasmine rice. Sriracha mayo, pickled veggies, and saucy meat all come together for a Vietnamese-inspired party-in-a-bowl!

Smart Korean-Inspired Turkey Salad with Gochujang-Sesame Dressing

We enjoyed this dish for Friday dinner.

The turkey salad is only 440 calories, so I decided that instead of dividing it into two meals, we enjoy it as intended for dinner. It was unremarkable.

Smart Korean-Inspired Turkey Salad
This bountiful salad is bursting with colour, Korean-inspired flavours and wholesome veggies! Spicy soy turkey and a creamy, gochujang-based dressing round out the plate for a delicious, light way to start the week!

Cal Smart Caper-Dill Dressed Salmon with Couscous, Tomatoes, and Spinach

We enjoyed this dish for Saturday lunch.

I hate dill-flavoured chips, but fresh dill is fantastic. This is one HelloFresh dish I love ordering again.

Cal Smart Caper-Dill Dressed Salmon
Capers add a briny flavour pop to this salmon dish with creamy Dijon-dill sauce! Underneath, there's a bed of lemony couscous to soak up all those delicious flavours.

Mango Chutney Curry-Style Chicken with Crispy Chana Dal

We cooked this dish Saturday morning and enjoyed it for Monday and Tuesday lunch.

I love curry but I am not tasting the mango chutney, but overall a delicious dish with a hint of heat. Your home will smell like spices afterwards.

Mango Chutney Curry-Style Chicken with Crispy Chana Dal
This chicken curry cooked with sweet mango chutney, fragrant spices, and curry paste is a taste extravaganza! You'll spoon this mouthwatering curry over buttery, cilantro-flecked rice, then garnish it with crispy chana dal to create a dish that will have everyone around the dinner table drooling!

My 10th HelloFresh Box for 2022 arrived Saturday morning, so there's an overlap. Thank God for all the provisions!

I'm Back! 8th HelloFresh Box for 2022 | Free HelloFresh Box Promo Code

I cancelled my HelloFresh Box last March because cooking is exhausting. HelloFresh would sometimes send me coupons via email, which I just promptly delete, but they sent me a snail mail of a 50% discount on my first two boxes if I came back before October 15, then 20% for the following two boxes after that.

I won't pass up free or at least discounted food, especially with inflation.

Our HelloFresh box arrived Saturday morning via FedEx.

Teriyaki Beef Bowls with Edamame Rice and Garlicky Broccoli

When did we enjoy this? Sunday and Tuesday lunch

Instead of garlic salt, I would be happy to grate and use real garlic to get the "garlicky broccoli" because this meal came out bland.

Teriyaki Beef Bowls with Edamame Rice and Garlicky Broccoli from HelloFresh

Spicy Apricot Chicken with Garden Veggie Orzo

When did we enjoy this? Sunday dinner and Monday lunch

Yum! I wished I had cooked the orzo for a couple more minutes to make them softer, but the apricot chicken was delicious! I wished there were more vegetables in the "veggie orzo," but overall a delightful meal I'll be happy to order again.

Spicy Apricot Chicken with Garden Veggie Orzo from HelloFresh

Crumbled Crispy Falafel Salad with Garlicky Hummus and DIY Croutons

When did we enjoy this? Monday dinner

This is the first time in a while that we decided to eat one serving for one meal instead of splitting it in two, and there's a lot of salad, and I used the wrong plate because it's spilling. I'm not sure if the "garlicky hummus" adds anything to the salad, but the falafel, croutons, and all the vegetables work well together. The radish is a nice touch.

Crumbled Crispy Falafel Salad with Garlicky Hummus and DIY Croutons from HelloFresh

Thai-Style Sweet Chili Chicken with Cilantro-Lime Rice

When did we enjoy this? Tuesday dinner and Thursday lunch

The Thai-Style Sweet Chili Chicken had a substitution of sriracha instead of Chili-Garlic Sauce. The dish gave off a funky smell. I love the heat, but something felt off.

Thai-Style Sweet Chili Chicken with Cilantro Lime Rice from HelloFresh

Turkish-Spiced Beef with Garlic Toum Sauce

When did we enjoy this? Wednesday dinner and Friday lunch

This meal smelled so good but wasn't as flavourful as it could be. I'm not sure what's missing.

Soup and Chili in our 7th HelloFresh Box for 2022

I tried something different this week. Instead of ordering one of 4-6 different meals, I picked two of 3 different dishes. Specifically, I chose two soups and one chilli.

One-Pot Chunky Chicken and Corn Chili

We had this for Sunday dinner, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday breakfast. Because of the way I ordered, I now have an extra can of corn.

One-Pot Chunky Chicken and Corn Chili with Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream

One-Pot Italian Sausage Soup

We ordered this last year, and I enjoyed it maybe more than I should have. I cooked this meal on Monday for dinner and reheated the rest for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday lunch.

One-Pot Italian Sausage Soup with Cream and Potatoes

Carb Smart Cheeseburger Soup

This is the only reason why I decided to order this week. I am curious about Cheeseburger Soup. I prepared this meal on Tuesday for dinner and we enjoyed it for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday lunch. It's too salty for my liking. I'll add more water when I reheated it and it improved the dish.

Carb Smart Cheeseburger Soup with Cheddar and Veggies

I am skipping HelloFresh next week, because I need a break from cooking and I want us to consume things about to expire in our pantry.
