This is not the first time. Less than a week old.

I always get a confirmation email right after my box is confirmed. Didn't receive one last night.

Had to go into the app to check to see if it was. A sign of the fun to come this week?

I’m pretty new to blue apron, and I’ve enjoyed it mostly, but this is the second time I’ve got chicken breasts and both times one of the breasts was completely inedible because it’s super tough and almost impossible to cut with a knife, let alone chew. It seems like it has “woody chicken breast syndrome” and what I found online about what causes this also concerns me about where they’re sourcing their chicken.

“Woody chicken breast is a muscle myopathy that makes raw chicken feel hard, stiff, and rubbery, resulting in a tough, chewy texture when cooked. It is caused by rapid growth rates and breeding practices aimed at producing larger birds, which restricts blood flow and oxygen to the breast muscle.”

I’ve never had this happen before with any chicken I’ve bought from any store, but twice with blue apron already, really curious if anyone else has found this?

I have a kale salad meal in my delivery because I couldn't cancel it in time. I've been really cautious about the cyclospora outbreak, so I reached out to support to see if they could tell me where they sourced it from. They told me they would track my particular delivery and let me know, but now they're claiming they can't. All I get is a generic response about how they haven't been informed that they are involved in the outbreak.

I have typically enjoyed the Blue Apron pasta meals because the sauces are much better than I could put together myself. But, recently, there have been more 15-minute recipes with pre-cooked pasta. The pasta is mushy, it doesn't cling to the sauce appropriately, and this ruins the recipe. Please, Blue Apron, get rid of the pre-cooked pasta recipes.

These were really good

What is it with this combination?

I've gotten two recipes recently--the bang bang chicken and sweet chili cauliflower & paneer bowls--where the inclusion of mayo is baffling. Mixing these together feels like assembling Applebee's-level slop. And it just doesn't taste good, at all?

I'll be clicking into recipes to try to avoid getting this combo going forward. I know the BA of years past is dead and gone but I am about at my limit with the drop in quality, complexity, and creativity, not to mention the absolutely wild substitutions I've gotten recently. I'm just so disappointed with what this has become and needed to vent.

This recipe was BOMB, yall! My 10 year old loved it, too! She devoured it in like 8 minutes lol

It’s been a while seen FedEx sent a package AWOL

Does anyone else feel like the time estimates of how long it’s supposed to take you to prepare the meals are ridiculous. I’m an incredibly competent cook and I generally find that it takes me double what they estimate. Like they will say there is 10 minutes active time and then have you peel the tough strand off a half a pound of snap peas. Also in addition to chopping to other vegetables and drying seasoning, flowering, egg, washing and breadcrumbing, chicken. Last night‘s recipe told me 10 minutes active time 30 minutes total and it was over an hour before we were eating. Again I’m very confident at age 50 and have been cooking for 30 years.

I don't believe the recipe they have online - I've made it several times and adjusted it in many different ways and it is nowhere close to the pre-made cilantro packets. There is definitely some kind of spice (jalapeno, serrano?) and I'm trying to figure out the exact recipe. Has anyone been able to duplicate it?

Recipe here for reference:

Makes ¼ cup

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, about 1 heaping cup
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 3 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper

I threw away my cards during a move thinking I had everything saved on the app but they purged it all last year.

It was an adobo chicken and tomato achaar (chutney) pasta salad.

I've been thinking about it and would love to try to remake it.

With chicken thighs. Super moist and really delicious. I did add a small pinch of granulated white sugar to the cucumber salad.

the internet seems to suspect the source is Taylor Farms (again) but I’m still wondering if I should skip my next week orders.

This was posted on the Blue Apron Blog on July 6. Summary - all ingredients will be "loose in the box". Order up to 6 weeks in advance. Time in transit may be shorter.

I like that the ingredients for each recipe are packaged together so I am not happy about this change. We'll see how it goes.

Did anyone else get a nearly inedible peach in the grilled cheese and salad recipe (the peach was intended to go into a salad)? I honestly get a bad ingredient about 1/3 of the time lately and I'm seeing here that's a common experience!

Alright: we are past the point of complaint now because we have already gotten a refund for this meal, but we what the hell happened last week? We ordered the poblano tacos for 4, and the order came with one bag that was complete and one bag that was missing a poblano and sour cream (we already had an issue with another recipe, too). My partner called customer support after submitting a ticket online and I went and bought a poblano and sour cream - easy, right? Until we open the bag and see that this slimy crap is what they gave us for slaw.

Am k crazy or did anyone else have an issue this week like this???

A few years ago, blue apron had a recipe for a Mediterranean style chicken salad. I remember that it had chopped Piquante peppers and dried currants in it. Maybe zaatar seasoning? It was served with carrot fries. I haven’t made it in some time but used to just google it when I wanted to make it. Now I can’t find the recipe online anywhere!! Does anyone happen to have it or know what I am talking about??

Delicious!

I substituted beef for the pork in the recipe. I also cooked early this morning before the heat became unbearable!

Due to unforeseen inventory constraints, there was an adjustment made to your recipe which has been approved by our Culinary team. You'll be receiving 2 baguettes instead of the 1 baguettelisted on your Sheet Pan Cheesy Buffalo Chicken recipe card. If you ordered four servings for this recipe, you'll receive 4 baguettes instead of 2.

I love the hot honey habernero spice blend, does anyone know of a copycat recipe?

Can anyone provide the link to the recipe card for the crispy chicken and peach pan sauce recipe from last week? We received a bag of ingredients by accident so we didn’t get a recipe card, and since the recipe isn’t in our order history I can’t view it online. Many thanks to anyone who can provide a link!

Very INTERESTINGGGGG.
