It’s no surprise people love Blue Apron. We mean, fewer trips to the grocery store, preportioned fresh ingredients delivered straight to your door, and restaurant-worthy dinner recipes? Yes. Please. Whether it’s a date-night ritual or an after-work de-stresser, these meal kits are reliable for so many reasons. Today, we’re chatting with three Rue associates to find out why they’re Blue Apron chefs.
The Young Professional
“The first step in adulting is breaking up with the pizza delivery guy. I started using Blue Apron because I knew I needed to learn how to cook. I’ve found it’s just as good – maybe better – than taking a class. I look forward to hopping into some joggers, turning on my latest TV obsession, and cooking myself dinner (vino in hand). Adulting isn’t so bad after all.”

The Busy Mom
“I’m a working mom of two. Need I say more? Having dinner all figured out is a serious lifesaver – and time-saver. All I have to worry about is having some great nonstick pans and preheating the oven. Done and done. It’s also helped with my picky eaters. Total mom tip here, but if the kids are involved in cooking, they’ll love what’s on the plate. Funny how that works, right?”
– Sam D., Voice Director
The Empty Nester
“With the kids out of the house, my husband and I are reviving date night. We’ve found that cooking together with Blue Apron is more fun than going out to eat. We set the table, get dressed up – the works! As travel connoisseurs, we love the Blue Apron x Airbnb program because it allows us to try cuisines from all over the world. It sounds cheesy, but we have themed weekends at home to hold us over until our next big trip. If we’re cooking a French Blue Apron meal, you can bet we’ll have lots of cheese and wine to match. I think the kids call that a staycation, right?”
