[2018] 082/365: Home Chef’s Beef & Pepper Tamale Pie

I forgot to put the recipe card in the picture but you know how that could look so … let’s pretend it’s there, kcool.

Our second and last Home Chef meal was made for a late lunch.

Scruffy thought the tamale part would be made of masa but … we were duped with cornbread. So it’s pretty much like a chili with cornbread on top type of deal.

Surprisingly, not bad. I even suggested that next time Scruffy made his “famous” chili, we should put some cornbread on the leftovers the next day and make something like this.

Overall, not disappointed with Home Chef. If I was in a funk or was too lazy to go out and get the ingredients and measure them out, I’ll probably do this again. But maybe not for the price. It’s way too expensive. But this does help open doors for other meals in the future.

I want to try other meal service deliveries. Does anyone have any codes for discounts? If you want, I can send you an invite for Home Chef and we can BOTH get $30 off. At least, that’s how I understood it so …yeah.

Scruffy’s parents got home from India tonight. They all had tuna sandwiches and I had a tuna salad. YUM! It was perfect with all the heavy foods we have been eating this week.

All the spices Ashy hauled back from India is pictured above. It’s so crazy but I’m so excited to make some Indian dishes!!

I went home this morning and brought along my pasta leftovers. Mum made me some surf clams so I had a couple of those as well. I’m so happy I remembered to bring them back to Scruffy’s to enjoy as a snack later!

Before I started eating and watching TVB’s Sniper Standoff, I handed Rocky a cow’s cheek to chew on since he hasn’t gotten a treat from me in a long time. Poor baby. I wonder if he misses Rizzo.

[2018] 081/365: Home Chef’s Steak Au Poivre

After hanging out with my parents and June for a bit, I went back to Scruffy’s and we started to cook our first Home Chef meal!

Scruffy wanted to stray away from the recipe a few times but I kept telling him to stick to the recipe. He always makes steak the same way so this was something new to him and the end result was better than he’d expected. Oh, and pairing it with red wine was an added bonus.

After doing this recipe, I noticed how big his family’s plates are! The portions look so tiny on the plate but it was more than enough! I am so stuffed and happy.

If your boyfriend isn’t much into taking you to those fancy Sur La Table cooking classes, then this is a better route.

Tomorrow we will be trying Beef and Pepper Tamale Pie. I cannot wait to see how that turns out and what my thoughts on this meal delivery service.

Stay tuned!

P.S. If you want $30 off, I can refer you! Just let me know and I’ll send you an invite! We can both get $30 off!!
