Hello Fresh vs Blue Apron

First of all, let me say that it took me WAY longer to get to this post than I intended. My family and I recently went on a little vacay together, but we're back now and I'm finding time to dedicate to this! I wonder how many times I'm going to say that before it actually comes true? Okay, now lets get to it...

Throughout my pregnancy, I talked to my bestie about how much I wished she could be in North Carolina with us after the baby was born so that she could cook for us (Check out her Facebook page and the amazing stuff she's been doing in Japan - shameless BFF plug). Since she couldn't be here, she sent us a subscription to Blue Apron.

Then, my love affair for stateside food subscriptions started. .My real first love started with The Set Table in Okinawa.

The Set Table

During our last month in Okinawa, we had a really packed schedule and I was grasping at straws to make things a little bit easier on us. Something that I had been interested in for a while was The Set Table, a cook-it-yourself meal service, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Except I was wrong, I should have been ordering meals through this service long before our last month!

Okinawa Soba Factory Tour

Clearly, I'm a little behind in my blogging. However, I'm back and excited to talk the Soba Factory Tour that we took through NIOSC and Kadena ITT! It was perfect timing, too, because Mark's brother and niece were in town. Lastly, Mark got the day off making it a family fun event!
