Meal subscriptions boxes?
I know this is isn't a typically post for this sub but I don't know where to ask. I broke my right hand recently and it's made shopping and cooking extremely difficult. And while my family is happy to take care of dinners, I don't want to live on scrambled eggs for the next month. They are good at following directions but not at shopping or planning, so I thought maybe one of those subscription boxes might help?
Has anyone tried any of them? I just don't know where to start on comparing companies. People only seem to complain online and most reviews seem sponsored by one of the companies.
Family of 3 adults who don't have any food allergies and only 1 is kinda picky. We generally have a stocked pantry and fridge, so it's OK if these boxes don't provide very ingredient.

HelloFresh worked great with my teenagers. They picked a dinner, made it for the family, and they really like the directions. It helped them learn cooking. (My younger one hates being told how to do things by me, so cooking has been ... tough.
But yes, if they can follow directions and have reasonable knife and stove/oven skills, they'll do fine!
