Beauty by Keo

Ever since I started working nights, I've just been spending wayyy too much time napping during the day and not enough time grocery shopping. Hubby wanted to try a food delivery service. The frugal person that I am will deep down always think these services are a waste of money. It cost me $10 for one of these meals and I was able to buy all the ingredients for all 3 recipes for $20. HOWEVER! It is well worth the price if you seriously can't find the time to go grocery shopping / just don't feel like going out. My husband definitely thinks it's worth it for our situation.

We got the "Classic Plan" for 2 people, 3 recipes a week


Meats underneath with ice bags


You get to choose which recipes you want each week.
These were our picks.


The Pat Lafrieda burger with crispy cauliflower bites


The little condiments are sooo cute. I love tiny things!


I burnt the cauliflower! T.T
But it was still pretty good.
We've been trying Hello Fresh for 2 weeks now, and we have loved every single recipe we have chosen. The ingredients are high quality, and packaged well. Recipes are simple recipes, very easy to make. Nothing out of this world though, definitely recipes you can make yourself at home (I was able to recreate all the recipes on my own). We love the variety of eating something different each week. If I cooked, it is usually the same 5 recipes over and over. Now I can add what I've learned into my 'repertoire' ;)

That lover of mine decided to come home and spoil me with the sweetest of all sweets, DONUTS! And not just any donut, Krispy Kreme donuts!! *confetti*







Thank you hubby ~ ♥

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ tsp garlic salt
½ cup carrot
½ cup cabbage
½ cup baby corn
¼ cup yellow onion
1 cup broccoli
2 tbs stir-fry oil

Sauce:
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp sugar

Sauce thickener:
4 tsp cornstarch
water

Method:
1. Remove all of the fat from the chicken and cut each breast into ½ inch squares. Sprinkle them with the garlic salt and use your hand to mix it in thoroughly. Let it marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.

2. Peel the carrot and cut diagonally into thin slices. Place in bowl filled with hot water and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Drain, set aside. Cut cabbage into ½ inch pieces, set aside.

3. Place baby corn in bowl filled with water and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Drain, set aside.

4. Rinse the broccoli crown under cold running water. Cut off the florets and break any large florets into smaller pieces. Place pieces in bowl filled with hot water and microwave for 3-4 minutes, or just until crisp-tender.

5. Make the sauce and sauce thickener.

6. Heat a wok on high. Add 1 tablespoon of stir-fry oil and let it get hot. When the oil is hot add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until it lightly browns.

7. Once chicken browns, remove it from the wok and place it on a plate and set it aside.

8. Add another tablespoon of stir-fry oil and let it get hot. Add the carrots, onions, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.

9. Add in broccoli, sauce, and the chicken. Let the sauce come to a boil.

10. Just as the sauce starts to come to a boil, add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens.

11. Ready to serve! Makes 2 to 3 servings.

I cooked this today and hubby really loved it. It's really easy to make! If anyone is interested, here is the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
10 raw shrimps (peeled)
2 large eggs
1½ tomato (the oval kind)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ large onion (cut into long slices)
1 cup Kale leaves (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1½ cup cooked rice
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tbs cooking oil (I use vegetable oil)

METHOD:
1. Cook the eggs in a wok with cooking oil. Scramble them and cook until egg whites appear opaque. Take it out of the wok and set it aside for later.

2. In the same wok, add more cooking oil, then fry the minced garlic. Stir for 20 seconds before adding the peeled shrimps.

3. When all the shrimps have cooked (DO NOT cook until garlic turns black), add in sugar and the rest of the sauces. Then add tomatoes and onions. Stir them all together for 3 minutes.

4. Add the rice. Stir until everything is uniform. Then, add the previously cooked eggs. Stir again.

5. Lastly, add the Kale leaves. Stir until the leaves get flattened and moist with the rest of the ingredients.
