3 days in, I'm sold on mealime. Mushroom Spinach Feta Frittata and Chicken Avocado caprese salad were both delicious, looking forward to tonight's chili-rubbed porkchops with sweet potato mash.

We loved the chicken avocado caprese salad! Just FYI... we found the seasoning on the sweet potato mash to be.... odd. So don't feel obligated to use their seasoning suggestions if it doesn't sound like something you like.

What is Meal Time? Like another Blue Apron/Hello Fresh deal? Mealime is an app that meal plans for you. You put in your dietary preferences and it gives you 4 recipes for the week and creates a shopping list for you. It's kind of like Blue Apron except you do your own shopping. And you can switch recipes if you don't like what they give you. tj kept mentioning it and I took the plunge this week. So far, the recipes are tasty and fresh and relatively healthy, and not too complicated.

It's so annoying that every meal-planner or recipe suggestion site usually only offer 2 or 4 person recipe size options. Why isn't there ever a "group" or "large family" option?

Even with only 4 people, I still like leftovers for lunches and days I don't want to cook. That's why I don't do the pre-packaged meals.

Okay I'm game. This is my first week. I'm going to switch the pork sausage for some chicken sausage I already have. I'm assuming I can like the recipe and reference it later.

How quick are these mealime recipes? I might have time for a weekend meal that takes time, but really need quick meals or low maintenance meals during the work week.

Most are around 30 min. The frittata I did was really quick, just chop up veggies and sautee, preheat your broiler, pour in beaten eggs and cheese, cook till almost solid and then finish in the broiler for a couple of minutes. These recipes seem less complicated than Blue Apron, which took me at least 45 min for a "30 min" recipe with all the components. You can preview the recipes before you choose them and swipe out any that seem too complex.
