Recipe Review- Blue Apron: Chicken & Brown Butter Rice with Corn and Tomatoes

We'd just come home from a trip and I forgot to postpone our Blue Apron box; so very glad I did!

This recipe is AMAZING! One of our new favorites. We love it so much that we made it the next week for our friends visiting from Spain!

Pros: ingredients looked nice and fresh on arrival. It turned out just like the picture on the recipe card. Best of all? Our very picky children loved it! 

Cons: recipe steps are tricky to follow. We've discovered that our Blue Apron recipes are more confusing than meal boxes from other companies. This recipe only has 5 steps, but you'll need to read through all of them before starting in order to figure out how everything goes together. 
Time estimate is waaaay off! This one says it'll take 30-40 minutes to make. It took us almost an hour, and this was our 2nd time making it, with 2 people! (It is nice to slow down a bit and enjoy cooking, but if you're in a time crunch, choose a different recipe :) )




Inspired by Blue Apron: Weeknight Hero Spice Blend

Last week I forgot to postpone our Blue Apron order, and I'm so glad I did! Our 2 family sized meals arrived and they were amazing!

We had friends from Spain visit last night and decided to recreate one of the favorites: Chicken & Brown Butter Rice with Corn and Tomatoes.

The only problem? We didn't have the delicious "Weeknight Hero Spice Blend". Oh no!

Here's our take on it. Enjoy!

Movie Theater Tip

Brought to you by: a clever husband, a cold wife, and @joann_stores

Movie Theater Tip:
I left my jacket at home and knew I'd be cold at the movie theater, so my clever husband stopped by JoAnn Fabrics. I ran in, bought 2 yards of fleece and a cute reusable bag; kept me warm for the movie, and my daughter got a new blanket! #win/win
