Elizabeth,
  I have found the Blue Apron “meals” sufficient to make 3 meals for me.  I also have cut back on the starches and often don’t make the rice, pasta or potatoes.  You will find almost all their meals are fried in olive oil.  I often will use the grill instead.  I often change, substitute or use different or additional spices.  I don’t care much for cilantro so will substitute something else.
 
This weekend will be busy for me as the Smithsonian had a guided kayak tour on Mallows Bay which my daughter and I are doing Saturday and the on Sunday is the yearly Yoga  Festival at Reston Town Center and I have to prepare for my trip to Bannff Canada which I am leaving on Thursday. 
 
I still read a lot of SciFi and just started a new series.  It is fast passed, action packed but not much depth but entertaining.  With work being so intense it is a good release.  I usually read for a half to an hour before sleeping as I find other wise I start thinking about work which keeps me up.  I do so much looking forward to retirement which I won’t have to think about work.   I did get a book on microbiology because it interest me but I just can’t concentrate on such at this time.  I still read several magazines each month, National Geo and Popular Science which both I have read for like 50+ years (really!) as well as Smithsonian and Wired.

I did Blue Apron for about a year and really liked it. I would usually cook the full meal which was for two persons and then have leftovers for the next couple of days. The quality of the food and variety was great. I never would have cooked such meals for one can’t just buy all the ingredients in single serving sizes.
