For one longtime HelloFresh customer from Ventura, California, meal planning has never been easier or more enjoyable. What started with a stroll during vacation and a menu item that enticed her and her husband has since turned into an eight-year journey of delicious meals they look forward to every week.

We found Kalli G. on our Facebook community page and were eager to learn more about her story as a dedicated HelloFresh customer.

Finding HelloFresh

During a vacation in Chicago, a man on the street was handing out HelloFresh sample menus. 

“He showed us a menu, and the Juicy Lucy Burger sparked our interest,” Kalli recalled. 

The burger, made with tomato onion jam and served alongside potato wedges, looks unassuming from the outside, but inside the stuffed patty is a molten cheddar center that oozes out with every bite. 

Since then, HelloFresh has become a trusted part of her daily routine. “I love how I don’t have to plan or shop for every meal,” she shared. “I also like the portion control, and the food is delish!”

Developing Kitchen Skills

Beyond making life easier, HelloFresh has also helped Kalli build skills in the kitchen. “I’ve learned a great deal, particularly how to prepare sauces and soups,” she said. “Also, I just made wontons from scratch,” she added, “I couldn’t believe how easy and delicious they were!

When asked about whether or not cooking is a solo activity or a team effort alongside her husband, Kalli mentioned that it’s typically a mix of the two. “We enjoy cooking the burgers and tacos together, and I take care of the soups,” she said.

As for their favorite categories? Wontons, soups, charcuterie boards, and burgers. Kalli even used HelloFresh for Thanksgiving one year. “And the food was fantastic!” she added.

“Honestly, though,” continued Kalli, “Every meal is memorable because it’s easy and delicious.”

Eight Years Down and Many More to Go!

After eight years, the joy of HelloFresh is still going strong for Kalli and her husband. “We just really love the lack of planning—we love choosing interesting meals each week, and we just really enjoy the food,” she said. 

Thank you to Kalli for being such a wonderful part of our HelloFresh family. We’re inspired by everything she’s cooked up the last eight years and look forward to seeing what her HelloFresh journey looks like in the future!
