our 4th hellofresh box!

hi all! today i bring you my review of our fourth hellofresh box! the meals we chose this time are:

1. Shrimp Saganaki with Spicy Marinara, Feta, and Israeli Couscous
2. Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Lemony Potato & Zucchini Hash
3. Spanish Steak Salad with Roasted Red Peppers & Rosemary-Garlic Vinaigrette 

for recipes of these three dishes, see my HelloFresh recipes folder on my google drive. ~Lin-chan ^.~

dinner 1: shrimp saganaki

i'm already a huge fan of couscous, but israeli couscous...so much better! the only major thing i'd change with this recipe is that the onion was huge and the recipe called for the whole thing.. i hate onions, and i spent more time picking them out of this than actually eating the dish. i mean look at that picture...it's all onions! the shrimp (though large) are hiding under the feta! i'm not sure how much of the chili flakes the paul put in, but it was just above my tolerance level and can also be adjusted in the future. also, i think i'd rather the sauce tossed with the couscous before serving. some of the couscous clumped together. this was so super easy to make and we can't wait to make it again!
-- to anyone interested in making this in the future, the "1 box" of crushed tomatoes is about 13.8oz

dinner 2: pork tenderlion
this was also a very easy recipe! i guess i'm not a huge fan of dry meat..and this one is no exception. i like pork, but not if it comes out dry or has no sauce. this one, i did squeeze some of the extra lemon onto it, but i don't think it was quite good enough. i definitely enjoyed the potatoes & zucchini, that was awesome. so i think we will probably make this recipe again, and maybe cook the pork differently or something.

dinner 3: steak salad

this was by far, the most complicated salad ever. who takes an hour to make a salad??? first there was roasting the peppers, then the garlic and rosemary, then cooking the steak and slicing and toasting the bread... such a hassle. the salad was pretty good, but not worth the effort we put into it.
