Sadly, I do not have additional free weeks of food to giveaway as I did in my first Blue Apron post; however, I did want to share a few more details of the meals we have gotten when we ordered an additional couple of weeks when life was busy and we knew we would turn to some unhealthy and equally expensive (if not more so) alternatives if left to our choices come meal time.

We are doing so in a way that makes life easier, like having leftovers, so having more storage options was on my list of wishes! And for good measure, a few yoga accessories were on my list, as well.
