Happy Thursday everyone! Last night was crazy for me with a million activities going on but it always feels the best after a busy night to start the next morning off with an easy run (I did intervals yesterday so easy is needed)! It is quite calming if you ask me! I hope your day is a beautiful one! We are comparing food prices over here today which I found really interesting! This post is sponsored by Blue Apron! Thank you for supporting us and our amazing sponsors!
——————————————————————
Andrew and I have been eating out like crazy the last few weeks so it was really nice to slow down and make some good food at home. PS I’m really happy that Andrew loves food as much as I do because I love that he gets just as excited as I do over a good meal (or treat… he didn’t love sugar much before he met me but now he does ((oops)).
We did the family plan for our latest Blue Apron box. We usually switch off between the 2-Person Plan and the Family Plan. The Family Plan makes enough for four people but we usually have some leftovers (unless I did a long run that morning and I can’t stop eating;) with the Family Plan. The first meal we made was the Stir-Fried Chicken & Udon Noodles w/Asparagus and Carrots!
Like usual, we received the box on our doorstep full of farm-fresh ingredients with everything in the right proportions. Our box arrived while we were at the the splash pad but it comes in a refrigerated box so everything stays fresh until you get home. Perfection.
No trip to the grocery store with the energetic four year olds, a dream for me.
Gotta love the bright colors of orange and green going on here!
Once we finished cooking the chicken, carrots, asparagus, ginger and scallions we were ready to add it all to the udon noodles and amazing sauce (which was a combination of soy glaze, vinegar, créme fraîche and water)! We topped the noodles with cashews and the green parts of the scallions. It was perfection! PS each meal they send includes the nutrition facts which I love. This meal was full of protein, carbs (with fiber) and fat… I love having all of those things in one bowl.
This meal won Brooke’s heart. Turns out she is a huge fan of Udon Noodles which I would have never known because I’ve never cooked with these before!
For our second meal we made the Mole-Spiced Beef & Red Quinoa Bowls w/Avocado and Lime Crema! PS you can find all of their amazing recipes HERE!
I used to eat quinoa ALL OF THE TIME but for some reason I forgot about it. I’m happy to remember how good it is all over again:)
Our Tex-Mex bowls turned out delicious… I loved the seasoning on the beef and lime-seasoned cream that we made was perfect for this summer-time meal for us!
Andrew and I thought it would be a fun idea to see how Blue Apron prices compared to the grocery store for the same meal! Personally, I love Blue Apron for the convenience it gives me—> a NEW recipe with all of the fresh ingredients dropped off at my front doorstep. I don’t have to go to the store, I don’t have to forget something at the store (only to text my neighbor to borrow some random ingredient) and I get everything in the exact proportions that I need through Blue Apron. BUT, I wanted to know how their prices compared to the grocery store for the same ingredients.
Off to the grocery store.
Let’s look at the Stir-Fried Chicken & Udon Noodles w/Asparagus & Carrots recipe! $35.96 for the 4 person plan (which is cheaper than going out for the four us but let’s see how it compares to the grocery store):
1 1/8 lb Sliced Chicken Breast $4.79
1 lb Fresh Udon Noodles $3.40
2 carrots $1.50
2 scallions $.50
2 bunches Asparagus $2.98
3 Tbsp Roasted Cashews $3.79
1 1-inch pieces Ginger $1.40
1/4 cup Soy Glaze $8.74 (for the smallest bottle I could find… maybe if I went to a specialty market for this it would be cheaper?!)
2 Tbsp Créme Fraîche $6.99 (for the smallest container ((8 oz)) I could find)
1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar $1.99
Total price for this meal at the grocery store was $36.08! Now the meal would have been cheaper if I already had a bottle of soy glaze or a container of créme fraîche but those are definitely not items that I normally have. It also would be cheaper if I could buy the exact amount that I needed and not any more but that’s not possible at my grocery stores. One of the many reasons I love Blue Apron is because they give me the perfect proportion of an item so I don’t have to buy a big tub of something that I rarely use. They truly help our household to branch out and experiment with new ingredients that we’ve never used before to make a meal which provides a new taste and experience!

Would you rather have to eat the exact same thing for lunch every day or the exact same thing for dinner every day?
Would you rather eat caviar or escargot (has anyone ever tried either of these)?
Would you rather have fresh made bread delivered to your house daily or fresh dairy products (i.e. milk/cheese/yogurt) delivered to your house daily?
Would you rather eat cookie dough or brownie batter?
Would you rather eat dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate?
Would you rather eat Mexican food or Chinese food?
Would you rather have to eat everything hot or everything cold?
Would you rather drink milkshakes or smoothies?
Would you rather have to give up fruits or vegetables?
Would you rather never be able to eat pizza or pasta again?
This one is from Brooke “Would you rather eat bread or pumpkin bread right now?” (she is really into pumpkin bread right now)?
This one is from Knox “Would you rather have meat or candy?”

Not sure why you wrote that you and Andrew “thought it would be a fun idea to compare prices at the grocery store”. This is clearly a sponsored post and Blue Apron has had several other bloggers do the exact same thing. It clearly wasn’t your idea, it was their suggestion as part of the post. It seems awfully disingenuous to suggest that you are doing this for any other reason than Blue Apron wanted you to do it.
Carolina
I recall recently seeing this on http://www.sweettoothsweetlife.com/ as well.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Hey girls! Blue Apron sent over a long list of topic ideas to choose from (along with the option to do your own topic too if you wanted) and we did think it would be a fun idea to compare prices! I didn’t claim to make up the idea, just said I thought it would be a fun idea! Sorry if I worded it incorrectly. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to see how much it costs at the grocery store to buy the same stuff compared to what they charge. Hope you guys have a great day!
Sandy @ Simply Livin'

Rhiannon
Oooh this is fun!
Same thing for lunch – that means I could have a different option before and after every day, would make it less annoying!
I have to say neither, I HATE seafood, I would rather starve than eat those things.
Fresh bread – don’t do much dairy.
Cookie dough
Dark chocolate
Mexican
Cold – there are too many things that would be nasty hot, meanwhile you can kind of make do with things being cold.
Smoothies – ice cream/dairy is really tough on my system :(
Fruit – vegetables are too good for me, the logical part of me knows I need them more than I need fruit.
Pasta – I actually don’t remember the last time I ate pasta…
Pumpkin bread!
Candy!
Mollie Sweet
Would you rather have meat or candy….lol. That’s fantastic. We were gifted Blue Apron and they forgot to include two main ingredients in our order! One was a cauliflower dish…and they forgot the cauliflower. I was bummed, and obviously the meal didn’t turn out quite right. Haha.
The Hungry Runner Girl
OH NO!!! That is not fun… did you call them? I’m sure you’d get more meals!!!
Allison
I really don’t k now why I haven’t tried Blue Apron yet. I think it is something that Chris and I would get hooked on so, so quickly. The udon noodle dish looks delicious!
Would you rather have to eat the exact same thing for lunch every day or the exact same thing for dinner every day?

Pumpkin bread, obviously! I really miss living in the US and having the Trader Joe’s boxed pumpkin bread. I will have to load up next time I visit.
This one is from Knox “Would you rather have meat or candy?”
hmmmm, depends on my mood but probably meat. We eat a lot of chicken and salmon in my house.
Susan
Missed one! Would rather give up vegetables.
meredith (The Cookie ChRUNicles)
cookie dough for sure! love cookie dough. I used to be really good about eating the exact same thing every day for lunch but lately I can’t do it! Breakfast I can eat the same for years without fail but lunch and dinner I switch up the most.
Natalie
I’d rather eat the same thing for lunch every day than dinner, and I’d definitely rather eat cookie dough than brownie batter (I don’t like chocolate).
To answer the kiddos, I would rather eat pumpkin bread (I love that stuff), and even though I LOVE candy, I think I’d rather eat meat–cheeseburgers are kind of a big deal to me. :)
Ashley
-Definitely would rather eat the same thing for lunch everyday rather than dinner.
-Never tried caviar or escargot!
-Fresh bread every day of the week!
-I’ll go with the cookie dough over the brownie batter. ?
-Dark Chocolate!!?
-Mexican
-For some reason, I really like food to be cold.
-Smoothies
-I would rather give up the vegetables; I like fruit too much to give it up.
-I’d rather give up pizza than give up my pasta dishes. (I’m Italian, so this was a very difficult question for me to answer!!) ??
-I would soooo go with the pumpkin bread! ?
-Candy all the way! ?
Emily
Would you rather have to eat the exact same thing for lunch every day or the exact same thing for dinner every day?
lunch…I probably do eat the same thing for a week at a time anyway.
Would you rather eat caviar or escargot (has anyone ever tried either of these)?
I’ve tried and like both, but escargot definitely win b/c of the garlic butter sauce.
Would you rather have fresh made bread delivered to your house daily or fresh dairy products (i.e. milk/cheese/yogurt) delivered to your house daily?
I make my own bread, so I’d go with dairy.
Would you rather eat cookie dough or brownie batter?
wait, I have to choose? I guess brownie batter then.
Would you rather eat dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate?
dark chocolate!
Would you rather eat Mexican food or Chinese food?
Mexican, definitely.
Would you rather have to give up fruits or vegetables?
since avocados are fruits, I’d have to say veggies.
Would you rather never be able to eat pizza or pasta again?
pasta
This one is from Brooke “Would you rather eat bread or pumpkin bread right now?” (she is really into pumpkin bread right now)?
definitely pumpkin bread. Brooke has good taste. =)
This one is from Knox “Would you rather have meat or candy?”
Candy, especially chocolate candy.
Hollie
We have also been eating out a lot lately. I’m trying to slow things down and do more cooking too. Sounds like you have a good balance.
I actually eat the same thing for lunch most of the time so I guess that’s an easy one.
I’ve actually tried escargot and I like it. I also like squid and octopus so I’m not sure I’m the best to ask LOL.
Jenny Albertson
Same for lunch
Mexican food
Milkshake.
How on earth do you get kids to eat everything? My oldest eats nothing new. Nothing.
Kori
Same lunch
Caviar
I don’t eat bread on the daily, so I’d have to go for fresh cheese and yogurt!!
Cookie Dough
Toss up between dark and white chocolate!
Mexican
Hot food
Smoothies
I eat a lot more veggies usually so I guess I’d say fruit (still a tough call though!)
Never eat pasta again
Pumpkin bread!!
I’d rather have meat!
All of those were hard, I love food too much!!
Michele at Everyday Snapshot
Same for lunch
Haven’t tried either
Dairy
Cookie Dough
Dark chocolate
Mexican
Hot
Smothie
Veggies
Pizza or Pasta?? Seriously !? Not even a valid question. This one should be eliminated, I simply cannot choose.

Paul

Give up fruit–keep vegetables
Killing me on this one–as I’m also Italian, but would rather give up pizza & keep pasta
Bread
Meat
Ellie
Wow, while these recipes look good, the price comparison definitely convinced me never to try Blue Apron! If I just go to the store and get the same things, I can spend the same amount (give or take a dollar) and have enough soy sauce, cashews, creme fresh, and so on to make the recipe several times? That’s completely worth it to me.
Janelle M
Yay, I love would you rather with food.
– Either does not bother me. I actually eat the same thing for lunch AND dinner most days, but i think same lunch is easier.
– Sorry, I am going to say neither. Gross
– Fresh BREAD!
– Cookie dough
– Dark chocolate
– Mexican food
– Cold
– Milkshakes
– Oh man…I guess fruit. I love both, but I crave veggies if I don’t eat them enough and I rarely crave fruit. I love fruit, but just don’t get the hankering for it when it is missing from my diet.
– Pasta
– Definitely pumpkin bread
– Hmmm, probably meat. I LOVE sugar, but not really a candy person. More into the baked goods or ice cream.
Rachel
Lets play!
Definitely the same lunch rather than dinner.
Not tried either but I prefer the thought of caviare.
Rather receive fresh dairy and bake my own bread (in a dream world where I could be at home everyday!)
Brownie Batter over Cookie!
Chocolate would depend on the mood, right now I’d go for dark.
Mexican over Chinese food always!
I’d rather have everything hot (I love a good soup)
Milkshakes more than smoothies, I have a sweet tooth!
I’d rather give up fruit that veg.
I’d have to give up pasta, pizza is one of my favourite foods!
I’ve never tried pumpkin bread so it’d have to be that one.
I love meat so I’d chose that over candy
:D

Audrey
Cookie dough and Mexican food for me, please!!
https://jonandaudadventure.wordpress.com/
Maureen Feeney
I would much rather eat the same lunch everyday (I basically eat the same thing whenever I work anyways ha!)
Cookie dough any day of the week.
Dark chocolate for sure.
Mexican food over Chinese forever and always.
https://maureengetsreal.wordpress.com/
AmandaM
Escargot is delicious! I’ve add both caviar and escargot – and I’d definitely go with escargot.
Brooke – pumpkin bread!
Knox – candy without a doubt!
Marissa @ Run Riss Run
Lunch, caviar (only because I’ve never tried it), fresh bread, cookie dough, dark chocolate, Mexican food, cold, milkshakes, fruits, pasta, pumpkin bread, candy all day :)
Meagan @ My Life as Mrs
I can’t choose between pizza and pasta! Don’t make me choose! Pass. haha
Def fresh bread daily.
Same lunch every day.
Chinese over Mexican.
Smoothies over Milkshakes.
:)
Julie
Same thing for lunch for sure!
Probably caviar, but I have yet to try either!
Originally I thought bread, but I can make bread and I don’t own cows, so dairy!
Cookie dough. All. Day. Long.
Dark actually! Although I like all 3 :)
Mexican.
Probably everything hot, I can’t imagine not having melty cheese again ;)
I feel like I should say smoothies, but definitely milkshakes (can you tell I’m not lactose intolerant)
Give up veggies!
Never have pasta. I love pizza too much.
Regular bread, only because I’m so seasonal with pumpkin and must wait until fall!
Candy. Sorry Knox, I’m not too into meat lol
Nathaly @NathyCure
I’d rather eat the exact same thing for lunch everyday. In fact, that’s what I do most of the time. Then I switch things up for dinner.
I’ve had escargot before. Not sure I liked it but I think I would rather eat that again.
Definitely the fresh made bread!!
Definitely cookie dough!
White chocolate is the one that I eat first when I get a box of chocolates haha.
Right at this time I think I would rather eat Chinese. Just because I had quesadillas for dinner last night.
Everything hot.
Milkshakes.
I would give up on fruits. Can’t give up to my salads ever.
This is a tough question, but I think I would rather not being able to eat pizza again. Pasta is just the way to my heart.
Pumpkin bread!!
Candy is always more fun:)
Jenny
I love that you price compared! We used to use a service like Blue Apron (until they stopped delivering to our neck of the woods) and I was always so curious how it compared to grocery store pricing!
On to the game :)
-Lunch (I already do!)
-NEITHER …. YUCK!!!!!!!!!! But for money I would eat caviar :)
– Fresh dairy products because my 2 boys eat all the dairy all the time
-Brownie batter!
-Milk chocolate!
– Mexican ….. mmmmm….. street tacos!!
-Everything hot! (it will eventually cool down :)
-Smoothies!
-Give up veggies. There is no way I could EVER give up fruit! :)
-DON’T MAKE ME CHOSE! LOL! I guess pizza because I gave it once before and survived!
-Pumpkin bread!
-CANDY ALL THE WAY!!
Juliette | Namastay Traveling
Ahh I love blue apron! I just made their salmon burgers and they were out of this world. And obviously cookie dough over brownie batter all day long!!
Kathy McElhaney
I couldn’t eat the same thing for lunch or dinner. We eat lots of leftovers but I won’t even eat them on back to back days.
I have never tried caviar or escargot.
Fresh made bread.
Brownie batter
Milk chocolate
Mexican food
Hot.
Milkshakes
Give up vegetables (this was a tough one!)
Never be able to eat pizza or pasta again? NO WAY!!! I could not give up either one!
I’m with Brooke – pumpkin bread.
I don’t know which one Knox wants, but I’d definitely take candy!
Meesh
Cookie dough over brownie batter, all day every day!!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
I hope you get some cookie dough asap Meesh and enjoy your Thursday!
Kerri Bisaga
I already do have the same thing for lunch almost every day- salad with chicken, tomatos, red peppers! I mix up a few other toppings and dressings.
I’d rather starve than eat caviar or escargot…if there’s one thing that freaks me out, its fish eggs!
I think I’d go with dairy products, as long as ice cream was an option for delivery!
COOKIE DOUGH all the way.
Dark Chocolate is clearly the superior chocolate… white chocolate doesn’t even count!!
Mexican food for real… give me all the cilantro and avocado!
This one’s tough, but I think I’d go with everything cold.
I’m more of a smoothie person; Milkshakes are delicious but smoothies are delicious AND nutritious!
I’d rather give up vegetables, but I’d miss them dearly!!
I’d take pizza forever over pasta
PUMPKIN BREAD please.
And tbh, I’d go with meat. Candy is fun, but not for dinner:)
The Hungry Runner Girl
Kerri, your lunch sounds delicious! I might have to copy you with that lunch! Hahaha fish eggs freak me out too:) I hope you get some pumpkin bread soon Kerri! Hope you are having a great Thursday!
Shannon
ooo…love would you rather! Since you brought it up, we’ve been playing with my son and his friends and I have learned a LOT about kinder-age kids!
Same lunch, for sure
Escargot– popping eggs not my thing
BREAD
cookie dough
dark chocolate, all the way!
Chinese food
Ummm…cold?
smoothies
fruits
grr… if forced, I would give up pizza before pasta
Pumpkin bread for the win! Brooke has good taste!
Meat, Knox. Always meat. Also, this is maybe the most perfect question ever.
Corey
Lunch (I basically already do that)!
Not sure, but I’ll say caviar.
Bread…probably.
Cookie dough.
Absolutely dark chocolate.
Mexican food.
Hot, though some things would be weird–ice cream?
Milkshakes.
Oh no! Apples and carrots are both daily staples. Plus so many others…can’t give ’em up!
Pasta.
Pumpkin bread sounds delicious right now!
I’m going to go with meat!
michelle
I’m so glad you did the price comparison, I’ve always been curious about that! It’s interesting how close the prices were (and I think our grocery prices in CA are quite a bit higher than yours). I tried Blue Apron during tax season thinking it would save me time when I get home late from work and don’t have much energy. But I think what I really was looking for was a chef to pop out of the box to cook it all up. I think I need to try it again now that I have time to enjoy cooking and eating – the meals were really top quality and much fancier than anything I would think of on my own. It’s awesome that Brooke is so adventurous (maybe she can give my husband some pointers??)
Fresh dairy, please
Brownie batter every night for dinner ;)
Dark chocolate
Hot meals
Give up pasta
Pumpkin bread :)
The Hungry Runner Girl
BAHAHAH yes… where is the CHEF?!?! Maybe that could come in the future… wouldn’t that be amazing to have a personal chef? Oh I hope you get some brownie batter soon:) Thanks Michelle!
Rosie

Jamie @ madrediem.com
Escargot is SO GOOD! It’s one of my favorite foods! It’s buttery and garlicky and delicious!

Really!?!? I guess I need to try it then Jamie! I hope you have a beautiful day!

Fresh dairy I guess – I try to avoid bread (but I could live on good restaurant dinner rolls)
Cookie dough – all the way!
Milk chocolate but dark chocolate is growing on me
Mexican food – I can eat it 2-3 times a week, I can only deal with Chinese every few months – the Chinese Food hangover is real!
Cold – I prefer salads over cooked veggies, I can deal with cold chicken and shrimp, I don’t drink hot drinks
Smoothies
Vegetables
The thought of never having pasta again makes me shutter!
I love pumpkin bread – but it is a Fall food to me, so regular bread I guess
I love chocolate, not candy, but candy always beats meat!
Sheri Winn
Lunch – seriously already eat the same thing everyday ha
Neither!! – I just can’t try things like that, sounds disgusting to me!
Bread! – I love dairy but I sure love fresh made bread!
Cookie dough!
Milk Chocolate – but I also like dark chocolate
Mexican Food – I look mexican food! Give me carne asada tacos, then I’ll die happy :)
It depends on what I’m eating….But if i had to choose I guess cold?
Milkshakes
Fruit
Pizza
Pumpkin bread!
Candy of course! ha
This was fun! Thanks for having us do it!

Lunch. I’m a salad with tuna kinda girl. But I love Blue Apron and Hello Fresh. I love mixing up my dinners.
I have never had either but would try both. But cavier for the sake of the game.
Cheese!! All the cheese.
I love cookie dough!
Dark chocolate is the best!
Mexican! No Chinese. No Mexican. Ok this one is impossible.
I have an aversion to hot stuff. So I eat everything just barely warm. So cold for sure.
Do calories count?? Then milkshakes.
I would give up fruits because salad.
I would give up pasta. I love me some pizza. I’m actually wearing socks with pizza on them right now.
I’m with Brooke, pumpkin bread, no nuts!!
I’m probably the weirdo, but I want meat. Burgers, steaks, pork chops, chicken.

Where are you getting two carrots for $1.50!?!?! Whoa. I get a bag of ten of the same size for $1.79. Interesting.
Melly
LOL, I saw that too and was like “Whaaat?” But then I realized the 1.50 was for the whole bunch of carrots and she only used two of them. Similarly to how she paid 8.74 for an entire bottle of soy glaze and used that price in the calculation, rather than using a fraction of the price for only the amount she used in the recipe. You could argue calculating the meal price using only what you actually used would make the meal way cheaper, but you would have to buy a more expensive grocery haul and then end up with leftover materials.
Personally, I like having leftover materials in case I want to make the recipe again or if I want to add a little more of something while I’m cooking. With Blue Apron, if I wanted an extra tablespoon of, for example, soy glaze to more strongly flavor my meal, I wouldnt have it available. I tend to taste as I cook and adjust seaonings and ingredient amounts to optimize the taste as I go.

Lunch – I basically already do that anyway haha!
escargot – I haven’t tried either but I just don’t think I’d like the texture of the cavier
Fresh bread!
brownie batter
white chocolate
I really love both Mexican AND Chinese but I guess I’ll go with Mexican
Cold ( I could never give up ice cream or Greek yogurt haha)
Would you rather drink milkshakes or smoothies?
Vegetables
I’d give up pasta for sure
Pumpkin bread all the way!
Currently? Meat

Would you rather have to eat the exact same thing for lunch every day or the exact same thing for dinner every day? – I usually eat the same lunch every day as it is.
Would you rather eat caviar or escargot (has anyone ever tried either of these)? No thanks to either. I have tried caviar and not a fan
Would you rather have fresh made bread delivered to your house daily or fresh dairy products (i.e. milk/cheese/yogurt) delivered to your house daily? Fresh dairy. I manage a bakery so I have unlimited fresh bread.
Would you rather eat cookie dough or brownie batter? Brownie batter
Would you rather eat dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate? Really good milk chocolate
Would you rather eat Mexican food or Chinese food? Mexican. Guacamole is life.
Would you rather have to eat everything hot or everything cold? Probably cold.
Would you rather drink milkshakes or smoothies? Smoothies…..love fruit!
Would you rather have to give up fruits or vegetables? I could give up veggies first. Fruit is my weakness.
Would you rather never be able to eat pizza or pasta again? Pasta. Since my WLS, pasta is hard to eat.
This one is from Brooke “Would you rather eat bread or pumpkin bread right now?” (she is really into pumpkin bread right now)? Pumpkin bread is delicious…..great idea, Brooke!
This one is from Knox “Would you rather have meat or candy?” Knox, candy wins every time!

I would rather eat the exact same thing for lunch every day – I basically did it growing up in school.
I’ve never tried caviar or escargot!
I would rather have fresh dairy products delivered to my house daily?
Cookie dough all the way. I have eaten an unhealthy amount of it throughout my 23 years.
Milk chocolate – even though I’ll gladly take any of them!
I love Chinese and Mexican but I would probably pick Chinese.
I would rather eat everything hot – if I take long enough to eat it it’ll eventually cool down :)
Milkshakes for sure
This is tough – I would probably give up fruit. Veggies are just staples in meals
I could NEVER give up pasta. I’m a pastaholic so I’d give up pizza.
Brooke, I LOVE pumpkin bread! I would eat it year round!
Knox, I would probably pick candy – after I ate my meat!
