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.
