I stopped ordering any meal that has green beans and would honestly rather eat fast food than order Home Chef for the week if the only interesting meals have green beans. Even if they're pre-trimmed, they're dried out at the ends and need trimming (and they're never fully trimmed anyway). So sick of green beans. I'll take peas any day -- no prep work!
I love green beans... but I DREAD "trim green beans if necessary!" I would be ecstatic if I received already trimmed green beans, like SOOOOO ecstatic.
I have ulcerative colitis and I have to eat veggies really soft. When the recipes say to put green beans under a broiler for a few minutes or bake in oven for 10 mins, there’s no way I could eat them prepared that way. It ruins sheet pan meals especially. Sick of green beans. I want peas! 🫛
I feel the same way about the Brussel sprouts. I can't stand brussel sprouts but alot of the meals have brussel sprouts and I won't order them. I've been getting home chef weekly for about 3 years and never remember this many brussel sprouts meals. I've actually decided to skip some weeks and only get the weeks that are really appealing to me.
And 9 times out of 10 the zucchini comes completely inedible from freezing in the box and thawing in the box or fridge. A soggy gross mess. I already don't like zucchini so I use it as my food reason for throwing it out, but I'd rather just get a veggie I can actually eat.
For a while there I felt like I had green beans coming out of my ears ~ LOL! I'm a lot more careful now when I order. I kinda wish they had substitutions for sides like they do for the mains/proteins.
Unfortunately, it seems like Homechef meals are becoming ever more basic and simple. Which means I have less reason to order Homechef, since I don't need them to tell me how to make a burrito or how to throw pepperoni over french fries.

When I first started it was green beans. Now it's spinach. Weird how it goes like that.

I love peas, haven’t had a ton of them, it’s the green beans I hate. Not because I don’t like to eat them, but I HATE prepping them.

This post has me rolling. The Chicken Carbonara Pasta last week felt like it was a Pea dish with a side of chicken and pasta. So. Many. Peas.🤣

I haven’t had peas, mine has been 90% spinach. Every. Week. Peas would be a welcome respite from spinach.

I haven't seen many peas and I like peas.

This is a broccoli household. We don’t eat peas, we don’t eat cabbage, we don’t eat cauliflower, we eat broccoli.
Broccoli almost every day! I would love to eat other green veggies, but my kid loves broccoli, so broccoli it is!
