Fresh meal kit delivery services, like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh, are a convenient and fun way to tackle the job of weekly menu planning and meal preparation. They cut down on food waste by delivering only what you need, down to the measured spices, and they can introduce you to dishes you have never even tasted. That said, Blue Apron is a subscription service, which means you aren’t buying single boxes at a time, but rather opting into an ongoing delivery plan.

Blue Apron Subscriptions

There is no membership fee to become a Blue Apron customer. When you sign up, you can select from one of several subscriptions:

  • 2-Serving Signature Plan: Customers get two servings of either 2, 3, or 4 recipes each week and can choose the recipes they want from a list of many possible choices.
  • 4-Serving Signature Plan: This is a similar plan but includes four servings per recipe, and a menu of seven possible choices per week, such as grilled chicken flatbreads.
  • Vegetarian Plan for 2: Two meat-free servings from a choice of three vegetarian recipes each week, such as black bean and roasted pepper enchiladas.
  • Wellness Plan for 2: Three different healthier recipes approved by nutritionists, such as low-carb meals or WW-approved meals.
  • Meal Prep: Comes with enough to prepare eight servings at once, ahead of time, in less than two hours each week. Subscribers can choose between two proteins each week.

How to Change Your Blue Apron Subscription

Let’s say you usually get the 2-Serving Signature Plan, but you’re having house guests next week. You can log into your Blue Apron account and simply change your upcoming order for the 4-Serving Signature Plan. At any time, subscribers can change plans in either direction—larger or smaller—or to, from, or between Vegetarian and Wellness as well. Your bill will automatically change accordingly.

How to Skip Your Blue Apron Order

If you are heading out of town or have other plans for your meals on any given week, you can easily skip planned Blue Apron deliveries as long as you do so before the order has been processed and shipped (usually about five days before your normal delivery day). From your customer account page, Blue Apron enables you to skip orders up to five weeks in advance by clicking on the Upcoming page and finding the order you want to skip. You then click the button that says ‘Manage Delivery’, which is located to the right of the delivery date. Simply select ‘Skip This Delivery’ to skip that box.

How to Cancel Your Blue Apron Subscription

There are no contracts associated with your Blue Apron membership. Subscribers can cancel their Blue Apron account at any time by emailing the Customer Experience team at cancellations@blueapron.com. You will receive an email back with instructions on how to complete the cancellation process.

Alternatively, you can go to the Cancel Subscription page, click ‘Cancel My Account.’ On the page that pops up, select a cancellation reason (if you want), and then scroll to the very bottom where you need to click ‘Cancel Account’ to finalize the cancellation. You will receive an email confirmation of the cancelation.

Orders that have already been processed or shipped will still be received and charged. If you change your mind and decide you want to begin your subscription again in the future, you can reactivate your account.

How to clean a Nespresso machine, from descaling to cleaning
Your maker is probably long overdue for a cleaning
Nespresso maker

I'm the first to admit my Nespresso machine is long overdue for a cleaning. Over time, I've noticed my machine getting slower to brew my espresso in the morning and making unusual noises. Usually, I focus solely on brewing my espresso and moving on with my busy day. Recently, I finally got around to performing a deep cleaning and descaling of the maker (after longer than I care to admit). Unsurprisingly, the cleaning has made a huge difference in the machine's functionality and, more importantly, the taste of my coffee. Here's how to clean a Nespresso machine when you're (finally) ready to stop neglecting it.
Why clean your Nespresso machine

Understanding the "why" behind cleaning your Nespresso machine can help motivate you to get it done. A Nespresso machine that is not adequately cleaned and maintained is susceptible to growing mold and bacteria due to the damp environment of the machine, especially in areas where water accumulates. Not only does this mean your next espresso cup could be contaminated, but it's probably not taste as fresh as it could. Once I learned this, I felt inspired to give my Nespresso machine the deserved cleaning.

Oats are among the healthiest grains because they are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and even antioxidants. Thus, it is little wonder that several products on the market are oat-based or contain oats in some form.

As a trainer and nutritionist, I always recommend oats to my clients, as they help provide fuel for workouts and are a low-calorie option for those looking to lose weight. It’s normal to see oatmeal in most diet plans. But do you always have to cook your oats for maximum nutritional benefits?

How to turn leftover steak into a delicious meal
Leftover steak is more versatile than you may think

Having leftovers after a steak dinner is a rare thing, to be sure. If you've taken the time to prepare a flavorfully marinated, perfectly cooked, deliciously juicy steak, chances are, you'll probably eat it all. That is unless you've cooked a mammoth-sized porterhouse or t-bone; in that case, you just might have some left when you're done eating.

On those occasions when leftover steak makes its way into our refrigerators, some of us may simply enjoy slicing and stashing those precious meaty slices in a zip-top bag and eating them straight out of the refrigerator. And while that sounds delicious, there are more sophisticated options.
