    This recipe for Beef Kofta is another hello fresh recipe.  I got another coupon in my e-mail, and with my life being ever-crazy, I figured it would be nice to skip the grocery shopping and have meals already planned!  So far I’ve tried hello fresh and blue apron by way of the food services.  I’ll sum up: both are good and convenient.  A little expensive for my taste, except when I get coupons in which case it’s a wonderful deal.  If you want to read more in-depth, check out my detailed comparison post of both: huevos rancheros quesadillas.
