Making Dinner Easy with Hello Fresh

Making Dinner Easy with Hello Fresh

Thank you Hello Fresh for sponsoring this post. As always you all know that all thoughts and opinions expressed are 100% my own.

The worst part about making dinner isn’t actually making it. It’s thinking about what I’m going make and going to the store to get all the ingredients while juggling a child who doesn’t always want to sit in the cart and thinks every balloon in the floral department should be hers.

Dinner time is so much easier with Hello Fresh.

What is Hello Fresh?

It’s a service that sends you the recipe and ingredients all in one! Pick the meals you think look best, chose how many people you are feeding and everything coming to your door in a box that has the food chilled on ice. It’s seriously amazing. Not to mention, each meal comes in it’s own box so as you decide what to make you pull that box from the fridge to reveal all of your ingredients. The only thing separated is the meat.

Worried the recipes might get old? They switch them out all the time so you will have new ones to choose from!

All of the ingredients are in that box and the recipe book tells you all of the steps.

Nothing beats fresh ingredients and having it all delivered to your door!

Hello Fresh is a weekly auto renewing service that I highly suggest you try. I think you will find it makes Dinner time so much easier. I’m pretty obsessed and my husband loved trying out new recipes instead of the same ones I typically shuffle through.

Did you know sponges are great for DIY crafts?

Izzy had a blast using sponges to great a holiday themed painting. She went “dip, dip” into her paint and “dot, dot” onto the canvas around the trees we created together.

Step 1. Use a permanent marker to draw a tree shape onto the sponge.
Step 2. Cut the sponge following the tree lines you just drew.
Step 3. Prep your crafting area with wipes, paper towels, pour the paint onto a paper plate or paint palate.
Step 4. Help your child with dipping the tree sponge into the green paint.
Step 5. Help your child with pressing and lifting the sponge off of the canvas.
Step 6. Once you have finished adding as many trees as you want, allow your child to “free paint” around the trees.
