If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, but I cannot get over how much I am loving having my own kitchen again. Sure, I could still cook when we lived with our friends and with my parents, but it’s just different, you know? Things aren’t where you’d have them, they don’t have everything you’d have; it’s just…different. The kitchen has always been one of my favorite rooms of the house, especially after our major kitchen remodel in our previous house (I was sad to say goodbye to that kitchen!).
We’ve been in our house now just under 3 weeks, which seems kind of crazy. It felt like it was taking forever for the day to get here, then it came, and now here we are. And despite the fact that we’ve been here less than three weeks, it’s still already starting to feel like home.
When we first arrived, one of the first rooms I began tackling was the kitchen. For one, it had the most STUFF to unpack (ohmygod, if I ever move again, I’m getting rid of half the stuff in my kitchen before we go), and two, it was the room I was most excited to really dig into. Make my own. Have FUN with.
It’s far from finished, but we’re getting there, and I just love how cozy it feels at night.
And I’ll tell you, I think I’m still switching things up daily. Moving stuff from one cabinet to the next… trying to find the best spot for certain items…rearranging shelves in the pantry…shifting things in the fridge and freezer. My mom tells me it’ll be that way for some time, so I’m prepared.
One thing I haven’t been so prepared with is restocking the kitchen with all of the “essentials.” You know, things like broths, stocks, pastas, condiments, spices. Sure, we still had some that we were able to unpack, but we’re a far cry from having the fully stocked kitchen like we used to (and don’t be fooled…I was still almost always missing an ingredient or two when I wanted to make something on the fly).
Luckily, we just had one week of Blue Apron meals last week (which you probably noticed on my meal plan post!), then we had one more arrive yesterday. And I’ll tell you, they have been SO incredibly helpful.
If you’ve been reading STSL for any amount of time, then you probably already know that we’re in love with Blue Apron. We’ve been trying their meals occasionally for almost a year now (we purchase with our own money fairly often), and have had the pleasure of trying out both their 2-Person Plan and the Family Plan (you can see more about the Family Plan in my last post from when we were living with friends!).
Now that it’s back to just the three of us, the 2-Person Plan is the best option for us. We get the box delivered right to our doorstep, and we just recently decided to switch our delivery date to Wednesday from Friday, because it just works better for us logistically (I work from home on Wednesdays, so I like being able to put everything in the fridge when it arrives – even though it does come in a refrigerated box). Our box comes with three delicious meals, and on any given delivery, I’d say there’s at least one meal that has some sort of new spice, ingredient, or cooking method that we’ve never tried.
In this past box, the Tandoori-Spiced Chicken with Green Lentils, Heirloom Eggplant & Cucumber-Mint Yogurt was definitely outside of our comfort zone.
If I had proposed this meal to Jay on my own, I can tell you that there’s NO way he would have eaten it. But after trying it, he said he liked it “way more than he thought he would.”
I was pleasantly surprised, too. Such unique flavors.
It certainly makes cooking fun!
And right now, it’s also making cooking incredibly easy, since it gives me all of the ingredients I need, in the exact portions I need, too.
Lately I’ll get home from work, play with Lucas for a bit, then I’ll sit him on the counter with me and we’ll both work on getting dinner ready (or he’ll eat his own dinner if what was sent isn’t something he’d be in to). As long as we’re not in any sort of rush, it’s one of my favorite times of the day lately!
And as for the rest of the meals in this past box?
These Seared Pork Chops & Kamut with Corn, Spinach & Stone Fruit-Cherry Tomato Salsa were totally unique and delicious. I LOVED the salsa, and used leftovers of it on some chicken the next day.
But I think our favorite was actually the Rigatoni Puttanesca with Eggplant.
What can I say? We’re pasta lovers through and through over here. <3

Sara says

Michelle says
As yummy as the tandoori chicken sounds, a steak meal will get me every time!!!
Leighann says
I have to ask you about your stove since I am in the market for a new one. I see it is gas, but is the oven also gas or is it a electric? Do you like it? I have never had a gas stove, but some have advised me to get a dual fuel stove so the oven is electric. By the way, your kitchen is gorgeous!
Courtney says
Thanks Leighann! Our whole oven/stove is gas, but I’ve heard the same thing as you with the electric oven! Regardless, I’m still loving mine – we had gas at our old house and it’s amazing just how QUICK it is. We paid extra to have a gas line run b/c I couldn’t do without it ;)

Katelyn says
So, I live Dhaka, Bangladesh (over by India!) and my husband lives in Brooklyn and DC. I tried Blue Apron the first time you mentioned it when I was back in the US visiting him and WE LOVED IT!!! I am really good with prepping, but I hate cooking meat because I grew up vegetarian– so Blue Apron is great because I can prep everything and have it ready to go for the husband to actually cook. It also makes our dinners at home feel extra special which is nice since we are only able to have dinner together a few times a year! If I had to choose a Blue Apron recipe it would be something we already had and LOVED– Furikake topped salmon– if it is ever on the menu definitely try it!
Kristen says
You sold me on the rigatoni puttanesca with eggplant!

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
CUTE kitchen! Being back in my parents house right now and I totally get what you mean…yes, there’s a kitchen but it’s not yours so it just feels different. My parents went out to dinner last night with some friends and since they weren’t around it seemed a bit less weird to cook up something a little nicer for dinner but otherwise I think I just feel like I’m in their way if I’m trying to cook when they’re in there. I’m sure that’s not the case but sometimes it feels that way.
Amanda Williams says
The crispy cod sandwiches from the website look right up my alley!

The eggplant and mozzarella paninis on this weeks menu sound delicious! I am always looking for ways to pump up meatless meals in our house, especially if my little boys will eat it, and if you put cheese on it they will at least try it, ha!
Shawna says
i LOVE your kitchen! so happy for you! my roommate does Blue Apron and seems to really like it, but i’m so picky with food that i haven’t considered doing it. i guess i’d like the fish dishes, though — always a safe bet for me!

Hoping If we can just try it out then I can convince him to join!
Mollie says
This has nothing to do with Blue Apron, and but my kitchen is almost identical to yours! I don’t know if you’ve contemplated bar stools for the island, but we got three of these for ours, and we use them allllll the time http://www.pier1.com/Kubu-Bar-Counter-Stools/PS36380,default,pd.html?cgid=barstools_counterstools#icid=cat_furniture-subcat_dining_furniture-subcat_tile_barstools_counterstools&nav=tile&start=1 Just thought I’d pass the link along in case you’re on the hunt for anything like that!
Courtney says
Hey Mollie! Ooooo those are awesome!! I’ve had my eye on these, but the color I want (gray) is out of stock http://www.target.com/p/threshold-camelot-nailhead-25-counterstool/-/A-16713785#prodSlot=medium_1_4. They say it’ll be back though, so I keep watching and waiting for them, haha. Although, now I’m reconsidering…! :)
Britt says
I’d love to try the oven fried chicken and biscuits! Sounds so comforting!!

I love the idea of learning how to cook and eat outside the comfort zone. I took a look at their website and I have to say the recipes look amazing. If I had to choose one I would go with the Tomato, Watermelon & Farro Salad with Seared Halloumi. Seems like a great end of the summer dish!
Julie says
Your new kitchen looks beautiful! I’ve been intrigued w/ Blue Apron for awhile now & have come THIS close to trying it (for myself and/or a gift for my mom). Everything looks so good. I think it would be a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone & try some new dishes.

I also just moved into a new house, but to add to the confusion of trying to find ingredients/cooking items, I just moved in with my fiancé in preparation for our upcoming wedding this fall. It has been an ADJUSTMENT trying to figure out how to buy groceries and cook dinner for two people every night.

Oh man that pasta and eggplant dish looks SO GOOD! We really love Blue Apron at our house, too. I have a 6 month old, and it’s helped me get back in the groove of cooking . We recently hired an au pair, so now we have a third adult living in the house. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good the family style meals are. I can’t eat dairy (baby has an intolerance and I’m BF), and it’s really easy to look through the upcoming menus and adjust (or skip some weeks) to work around that.

I am very intrigued with the Oven-Fried Chicken with Coleslaw & Buttermilk Biscuits. That would be an “indulge” meal for sure.
