A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we tried the “Imperfect Produce”<\/a><\/strong><\/span> weekly box subscription. We tried it for a little over a month and I ended up cancelling it. I didn’t like that I felt so much pressure to use up the produce quickly because it was often on the verge of going bad.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, Michael and I tried Blue Apron<\/a><\/strong><\/span> a few times and we really liked it. We liked the recipes we tried but in the end, the cost was a factor for me so we didn’t continue it. Since then, I’ve been seeing the “meal services” options get a lot better. Now there are ones that are diet-specific, which is cool. I decided to give Sun Basket a try because I liked that we had the option of doing gluten-free or Paleo diets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I signed up with a discount code for the first week. I downloaded the app, which is nice and very easy to use. A bonus with the app: you can choose your three meals for a month out. I already have the next month of weekly deliveries all planned out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I tried to decide which meals to pick, I chose this way:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An ingredient that is something we haven’t tried or something that isn’t “Common” on my grocery list.<\/li>\n
  2. A recipe that is simple but is a little more interesting than a dish we could come up with ourselves (for example, I saw a few “bean and rice bowl” meal options and I skipped those because that’s not very creative and that’s something we can do on our own.)<\/li>\n
  3. Gluten-free\/Paleo\/Low Carb option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t
