Home Chef October 2016 Review

Home Chef October 2016 Review

Home Chef is a home meal subscription that is $9.95/person per meal.  One of the really unique features of Home Chef is their huge menu.  Each week there is over 10 meals to choose from.  You can pick your regular meals and then add-on shakes and breakfast items.  If you have read my reviews, you know I am a really picky eater, though I didn't have any problem selecting my meals for review.  Home Chef can also accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diets.

When you sign up, you fill out a short profile and Home Chef will give you recommendations, although you can select any meal you wish.  Shipping is free for orders over $40.00 and you can skip any week you want.  You can also select the day your box is delivered (Tues-Fri).

The Details:

Cost: $9.95/person.  You can choose between 2 or 4 meals per box.

Coupon: Use this link to get $30.00 off your 1st box.

What's in the box?  Each box comes with your selected meals, all packaged so your food stays fresh.

Note: We ordered the two plate box, so each meal made two meals.  There is so much food, there is always enough to share with our two small children.  If you have older kids (mine are 3 and 7), you probably want the 4 plate box.

Home Chef ships by FedEx in a large box.

recipe cards

All the recipe cards are on top of the box. The front of the recipe card lists how long it takes to prepare, how hard the recipe is and how quickly you should make the meal.  The back of the information card has detailed instructions and a list of all the ingredients you need.  I have never had problems following Home Chef instructions.

Home Chef Ice Packs

Everything is packed with ice packs to keep the food cold.  Home Chef always does a fantastic job at keeping things cold.

Anytime I pick my Home Chef meals, I always pick the steak.  I love mushrooms, so this meals looked fantastic.

The back of the recipe card had details about how to cook the meal.  I am not always the best with directions, but Home Chef does a great job at explaining every step.

Home Chef Ingredients

All the ingredients arrived fresh.  My potato had a couple of places on it, but I was able to cut them off.

This meal turned out great!  You really can't go wrong with steak, mushrooms and potatoes.  Everyone in my family ate this and enjoyed it, even my 4 year old.  Home Chef includes the biggest portions of any of the food subscription boxes I have tried.

This meal was easy to make and tasted like it took alot more time.

Mojito Pork Chops with citrus salad

I have been trying to eat healthier, so I decided to select this pork chop and salad combo.

Everything was fresh, even the greens, which can wilt fast.

The finished meal was simply outstanding.  I actually didn't eat my first salad till this year, so I was expecting to hate this salad.  The salad had a sweet taste, mixed with the greens.  The pork chop, mixed with the greens made for a great meal.  I am buying the ingredients to make this salad again for lunch.

This is a close up of the meal.  There was a bit of glaze on the pork chop, which helped keep it moist.

Home Chef October 2016 Review

Final Thought: My family and I really enjoyed our meals this week.  I loved that I tried and enjoyed a new salad.  Had it not been for Home Chef, I wouldn't have discovered a new meal I loved.  If you want to try Home Chef, use this link to save $30.00 on your 1st box.
