- Hey everyone, it's your girl, Jen, and today I have
a very special guest joining us today.
- A very special guest, thank you very much.
- This is my fiance, Ben, and today we are cooking
for y'all because that is one of our favorite activities
to do together.
- It's true.
- We have partnered with Hello Fresh,
and Hello Fresh is such a cool concept
because they deliver pre-measured ingredients
and simple chef made recipes straight to your door,
and they come with three plans you can choose from.
There is Classic, Veggie, and Family, and we have
decided on Veggie because Ben has been pescatarian for four?
- Three or four months.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, a little while, so I'm very excited about this.
We got our package yesterday and they come in these
nice little recycled packages, it's lovely.
And we went for the yellow squash flatbreads for this one,
which we haven't really made, we've never made before.
- We've never made flatbread before, so...
- Or even yellow squash.
- Mm mmm.
- So I'm excited about this.
- So each one of the bags comes with this lovely instruction
card and I love how thorough it is, it tells you how
much time it takes, so 30 minutes, and when you flip
it over there are step by step instructions on how to
prepare the food and it looks pretty straight forward.
Alright, so let's attempt at cooking this!
- I love how they give you the exact amount of food you
need as well 'cause we're always going to the grocery
store and buying a lot of food that, you know,
it's very easy to waste food, we love cooking
and when you're trying to go through recipe books
and it can be quite overwhelming and there are so
many ingredients you don't have and it just puts you off.
We go back to like, the recipes we're used to making
and that can get quite boring.
You want to push yourself.
- So when did you start cooking?
- I've always loved cooking.
When I was younger I would just throw different
stuff in, just for, I didn't know what I was doing.
- That's the phase I'm in right now.
(laughter)
I literally just throw anything in a pot together.
Like, all my favorite things I'll just put in a pot
and be like,
- Yeah.
- expect it to taste good.
- We've got a good system, like, when it comes to cooking,
you love prepping, I love cooking.
- I do love prepping because it's just very therapeutic.
Like even all this, look at this beautiful pile of squash.
- Look at that, this is lovely, Jen.
So the next thing we need to do is pine nuts.
And I don't know, if you haven't made pine nuts,
or cooked pine nuts before they are absolutely delicious.
I'm gonna start frying these now.
- Ben is actually gonna do step two and three altogether.
He's gonna toast the pine nuts until they're golden brown,
and then he's gonna get the scallions and the squash
and he's gonna put them on the same pan
over medium high heat.
- So the scallions and squash are done, they've been
fried up, they're smelling good.
What is next?
- Alright so now we're gonna bake the flatbread.
So this is the finished squash and scallion mixture.
I'm gonna get the mozzarella, and I'm gonna tear it
into small pieces with our hands
and scatter it all over the flatbread.
Then we're gonna top with the squash mixture,
and then we're gonna put it in the oven
until they're golden brown.
So while the flatbread's cooking we're gonna
work on the salad.
We're just gonna get the lettuce mixture,
put it on a bowl, drizzle some lemon and olive oil,
and call it a day.
- So the salad is done, I think everything's pretty
much good to go.
- Mm mmm.
- Our allocated ten minutes are up,
so should we see if the flatbreads are done?
- Let's do it.
- Looking good.
- That looks so delicious. Holy cow!
- Wow!
- And the final step is to dress it with the basil,
pine nuts, chili flakes, and honey.

- Okay, so this is the finished meal, let's give it a go.
- Cheers, babe.
- Cheers!
- Enjoy.
- Mmmmm.
- Mmmm.
- Mmmmm, that's really good
- It's so good.
- The honey works, doesn't it?
- Exactly. I was a little worried about the honey,
but it goes so beautifully with this.
- It's delicious, it's very light as well,
we should do this more often.
- Oh man.
- Jen loves the chili flakes.
- I do. Even though they give me heartburn.
- Yeah, you always regret it. You always regret it.
- I know, it's worth it.
- It's worth it at the time.
What I love about this is we go away a lot
and you can put your account on hold when you go away
which is really useful because obviously to try
and buy groceries, you've got to go away and come back,
it's just hard to figure it out, you know?
- Mm mmm.
- So this is, that's very handy.
That's definitely something that we're really stoked about.
- This is so good.
Okay so I just slammed down my serving,
but I'm so happy that we got to do this.
- Mm mmm.
- It's just so much fun.
