I recently had a 6 month stint using hello fresh, and now cancelled. I find it's really useful to get out of a rut, and teach you some small tricks. This recent one has me:

* Using much more citrus, juice & zest * Chickpeas + spice mix + touch of liquid in a pan is an easy go-to (we're veggie) * Broth / onions in rice. * Template of flatbread + stuff on top, which they had 3 or 4 in their rotation. Easy to riff on w/ whatever you have in the fridge.

None of these are earth-shattering revelations, but the repeated practice has ingrained some of these much more, and got me cooking a little differently.

We do this every few years, it seems worth it for a while, but I can't stick with it because I hate the waste, and the recipes get pretty repetitive after a bit, doubly so w/ vegetarian meals which have fewer options.
