Hello, I am TheTimTracker. Welcome to my crazy beard and mustache driven life! Come with me as we adventure around Orlando, Florida and explore all of the amazing places that have made Orlando a top tourist destination, and a few that no one knows about! The beautiful blond chick you always see in my videos is my hot wife Jenn. Make sure you say hello and hit the subscribe button, because we are always doing something new. Whether it's home science experiments for kids, roller coaster POV ride alongs or Theme Park Events; you will be sure to have a blast hanging out with us! We also have a skit channel you might enjoy over at / skittyskittybangbang We always have fun filming new things for you guys and showing you things to do in Orlando, Florida!
When you said it was a test to your relationship I laughed so loud with my eyes shut. I totally get that!
Hehe, it's totally true!
Been watching all the old videos......having a marathon. You two are so perfectly suited, Tim is an excellent handy/DIY genius partly cos of his background I know and Jenn you are a total chef even though you say you're not. So lovely to see such a cute happy couple and home vlogs make me so happy. Thanks for all your work and love for the fans X X X
Hey Tim and Jenn, I had to search a while to find this video. I watched it a good long time ago. But just recently, my daughter decided to order this same Hello Fresh, and so we have recently tried it out. We ordered the three meal plan, which is just enough for two people. But for the first box, my wife was working days, so she was home to eat with my daughter and I. We had to share it all in threes, so that cut down our portions considerably. But the food itself was delicious! We fully enjoyed the food selections that we picked. We just received our 3rd box today, the day I am typing this. I do the cooking here, and I create my own dishes. But we really enjoyed this Hello Fresh. But I see that Hello Fresh has changed their packing method. Now, the boxes are packed with the meats between the ice packs like yall's were, but the other ingredients for each meal, are now in heavy duty paper sacks with a seal over the fold of the bags. They are not putting the stuff in smaller boxes as yall's were in this video. They also wrap the inside of the box with a type of packing cotton substance in a plastic wrap, around the circumference of the box. I guess this helps to hold in the cold better like an insulation wrap. Are yall still ordering Hello Fresh or possibly Blue Apron? We haven't used Blue Apron yet. I need to know if they are as good as Hello Fresh, better, or not as good. What do yall think?
Nice tip on re-heating pizza Jenn! Lol "we'll do basically anything to get out of grocery shopping". That is great 😂
Im someone who's very familiar with asian flavors and I gotta say, thats a lot of ginger. In regards to the sugar, it is there for the 4 basic tastes: Sweet, Sour, Bitter and Salty. Those are present in almost every asian dish. Hope this inspired you guys to cook! There are so many beautiful fresh products out there, the world is a playground.
So glad you guys decided to join, because I'm looking forward to seeing the Classic Boxes since we did the Veggie box! I made the Gnocchi before I left for the beach and it was sooooooo good! And just got to the part where Jenn said she saw my picture. LULZ. I hope the Classic Box is as good! The stir-fry looked delicious - I will say that out of the 8 recipes I've made, most were pretty clear but I had one that was an absolute bear and as a result it's the only meal I didn't really enjoy, thanks to the stress of making it. Hopefully the rest of the recipes from this box are better for you!
Now that you have done the meal you have your receipt and you can shop accordingly. The meals are great. Sometimes you might get one you don't like but with experience you can adjust during cooking. As Julia would say, "Bon Appetite".
jenn reminded me of the first time I built furniture with my girlfriend 3 years ago ... lol .. she was so upset with me bc I like to do things a certain way and she has her way as well. we've gotten way better at it now though. cant wait to see the next dish bc that looked great!
Awesome video!! The food box looks great! Love the new shelves and all the cool stuff on it! And as always you guys look great!
Yum...those meals sound delicious! And when you've got more ice packs than you know what to do with, you can start giving them to your friends, lol.
We keep the ice packs in the freezer and keep reusing them. They remain rectangular in shape and easy to keep.
That box is so awesome Tim and Jen and great job on the beef stew my friends it looks delicious.
Loved that you guys are trying hello fresh, because I've always been curious to how it works exactly and if it's actually good.
The Hello Fresh box seems really cool!! I used to have a Blue Apron meal box subscription for maybe around 7 months and I loved getting the meals each week! The meal boxes are really simple and quick!! It's fun too! I hope you guys enjoy the meal box and I'm sorta excited to see the differences between Hello Fresh and Blue Apron!
Oh geez well at least I thought it was fun ahaha, maybe y'all will like it the more you do it
Jenn! Love your veiled "80's" reference - "Where's The Meat!?!" OR "Where's The Beef!?!"
Cool, we use Hello Fresh in the UK. Really good quality food at an okish price. We used to have the meals for five days but cut down to three days to allow a bit of flexibility so we can eat out etc.
I have a hello fresh subscription box! First, everything I have eaten has been very good but if you're like me and like to eat out every couple of nights, you CAN pause the deliveries. 👍🏻 I've been pausing it a lot lately because of all the summer BBQ's. 🍔🌭🌽 I'll probably go back to the subscription after Labor Day. 🤔 Also, I suggest reading the recipe before you start to cook. I read the recipe and re-write it out step by step 🤓 so you can have a better idea of your prep time and cooking time. Hope that helps!! Oh and I do 3 boxes a week. 🙃
Rewriting them out sounds like a brilliant idea! The wording is so strange on them. Like step two is "meanwhile prep your vegetables" and I'm sitting there thinking "meanwhile"?!? Why not just tell us to prep them first! lol!
When quartering the bok choy you don't need to cut the bottom off, just trim any tatty bits (bok choy quarters then hold together). For stir fry cooking get the wok really hot before you add your oil (heat the wok not the oil) and oil should be near to smoking so meat seals immediately and vegetables cook super fast.
We do Hello Fresh, too! Their produce and meats are always top notch, but, I find the way the recipes are laid out to be confusing. The steps kinda run into each other! So I read the whole recipe, then prep everything, then go step by step. It gets easier once you get the hang of how they lay out their instructions. Enjoy!!
A friend recommended Hello Fresh and we've done it for several months, and I like the way it comes better, but I'm currently doing Blue Apron, as the menus are more interesting in some ways (and it's a little cheaper). It is smart to see what produce looks like it needs to be used first, or obviously if you have a fish or shrimp dish, that's the one to do first. Enjoy.
Oh just a tip! Make sure you read the directions carefully. Hello Fresh tends to give you more then you need. Sometimes they'll give you a teeny jar of soy sauce but you'll only use a 1/2 tsp. If you miss the directions you might pour in the whole thing and end up with a super salty dish 😱
Ok so I love how real you guys are! Poor Jenn! You looked wiped out after cooking! Hope the yummy food made it all worth it!
As a chef I agree with Jen when she mentioned about cooking with your significant other is a test of your relationship, because my boyfriend unfortunately doesn't know my culinary terms and I'm actually a stickler for knife cuts so it's a challenge in my house every time lmao
Hehe! Throw a hard to follow recipe in there and it is a disaster!
Awesome! I hope you post the rest of the meals.
an easy way to take the skin off the ginger use a spoon. at the restaurant is work at it is easy to do it the way. for bokchoy just cut the the bottom and it just easy to seperate
Wow that box looks amazing. Wish we had something similar here.
That looked really good! I'm happy you guys tried that out, I've always wondered how those delivery meals looked and tasted!
We always cook our hello fresh as a couple. Most of the time fun, occasionally not fun.
The only thing my hubby and I cook together is Tacos. I have to be alone in the kitchen to cook anything else. I get grumpy when i get nervous or if I feel like I'm being watched. Guess I'll never have a you tube channel! Ha!
nice to see you guys eating healthy! lol
You should keep the recipes you really like then just buy the ingredients yourself in the future as it will be cheaper. :)
You changed my life with that Pizza reheat tip!!!
Hehe!
Tim will you be at universal on July 5?? I want to meet you so bad!!
We have used Hello Fresh too and enjoyed it. Too expensive for frequent use. We tend to use it if going away for a self catering break and want to make use of the place we are staying and not eat out.
Just a warning about Hello Fresh. I thought everything was perfectly portioned but it is not! Sometimes a seasoning might call for 1/2 teaspoon and they give you a full teaspoon. Another time, I needed 7 tablespoons of coconut milk and I got an entire can of coconut milk! The seasoning packets will tell you how much seasoning is in it but it might be more than the recipe calls for. So, don't mess up a recipe like I did by thinking it is all perfectly measured and double check the recipe and the seasoning packet to make sure they match up!
Also, another company I have been looking into is called Blue Apron. Same exact concept but their recipes they offer both in paper in the box and online. The online version includes videos that show you step by step how to do the funky things you might not be used to doing. The Hello Fresh recipes could be a little more clear in this regard.
Blue Apron is the same way with instructions. they try to be as concise as possible in very short text.
I just signed up for hello fresh.. me and my guy are gonna give it a try and see if it will help us eat healthier and spice up our boring usual's. thanks for trying it out first.... PS. Love your vlogs of your Disneyland trips... we moved from Anaheim 6 months ago and I was a cast member (PhotopassPhotographer) for over 2.5 years.. I miss it terribly so thanks...
Records need to be stored upright to avoid ring wear and to keep them from warping. You'll end up with wavy records, especially in a place as hot and humid as Florida!
Great reheating pizza tip! I'm totally gonna try that! I hate soggy microwave pizza
Is the mako scarier than the rip ride rockit. Thanks +TheTimTracker
We use hello fresh and blue apron. I would say blue apron is of higher quality and the meals are more creative, but are a little fussy.
Real test of a relationship, put together an Ikea dresser.
I have been really interested in trying this....what are your thoughts now that the week is over? Will you do it again?
Wow! This isn't Disney?!! I have been wanting to try this.
Hard Rock @ Universal is definitely good!
Yay. I wait for your videos everyday.
Thank you so much!!!
I've tried both Hello Fresh and Blue Apron and I ran into the same problem. The directions are very haphazard for both of them. You pretty much just have to read the whole thing and do like ten separate things at the same time, otherwise you'll end up making a 25-30 minute meal turn into an hour or more. Anyway, y'all are awesome!!!
So going to try your pizza method Jenn !
I like how Tim first pointed to the ginger and called it garlic 🙊. I wish hello fresh had vegan options! I'd totally try it out
They have vegetarian, but I didn't look to see if it was vegan. I wonder if there is a vegan box out there? If not that is an excellent idea!
+TheTimTracker I've gotten vegan snack boxes which sometimes come with the occasional item to use for meals but it's all processed foods nothing fresh like this! Hopefully one day they will!
Love home vlogs!
I add a tiny bit of water to my pizza and microwave it so it doesn't get dry and burnt
Ahhh... the old reheat the pizza in a fry pan trick. I actually learned that from Chef John of Food Wishes... and a ringing endorsement here! :-)
They eat alot of fast food.
just signed up for the hello fresh. thanks for the code. enjoy as well
In some unrelated Harry Potter news, they released a test to get sorted in the American school, Ilvermorny on pottermore. These house are actually based on the founders favorite magical creature (even though one was a muggle).Do you think merchandise will come to the parks? Will you be able to get sorted a the next celebration of Harry Potter? What could we see based off these houses? Love your opinion on this subject so, thanks!
The food box looks interesting..your first meal looked quite good...by chance did you total up the foods you got and check the cost with the grocery store? I would be interested in the difference.
they don't like to shop or cook--so they didn't care. That service must be cancelled to stop it.
Hey guys! Watching this video from the Polynesian in Florida! Xo
That looks soooooooo good! 😋
We had hello fresh for a few weeks, the food was good but it never got fun cooking it. It's a lot of work and the way they read, it's not very step by step friendly. Also we got the 4 meal plan and some of our food went bad and we had to go out and buy some of the ingredients. The 2nd box we got had a recall on some of the food and we didn't get the email until after we ate it, we were so upset because we have a 10 month old who eats with us, customer service had no idea of the recall but gave us a refund for one meal. We kept calling to find out more and found out that some of the food is Shipt from Texas and some from New Jersey and that most of the food is frozen before its sent. So it wasn't as fresh as we thought it also wasn't enough food and we canceld. I hope you have better luck.
tim do you thinking kong will have a pass holder preview.
what is the price for these boxes? are they expensive?
OHMG Disney records!
How do you get in on the periscope and yousday blogs?
I'm so gonna try to reheat pizza on the stove next time!!!
thats a awesome tip about the pizza thanks
I just re-heat my pizza with a toaster oven and it comes out fine.
Do you have a code for referring others? I am signing up to try a family box
Are you paying for the boxes per week or per month? I don't know how it works
I have a book shelf that looks similar to yours.
blue apron brings everything in the box. so you don't need use your own stuff. good recipes but takes a long time cook.
That food looks very good! I wish I was able to do that but we are a family of 4 it will cost me an arm and a leg but I'm like you guys I hate grocery shopping.
yup, easier and cheapier to shop and cook
+Francine Scott I know right.
Cooking becomes more fun when you invest in a decent set of knives and a plastic cutting board
I suggest getting an 8 in. chef's knife, a long serrated knife, and a pairing knife. To maintain the knives, you must have a sharpening tool and a honing steel. The honing steel corrects the blade and keeps the knife in good shape, and it should be used every time you are about to use the knife. The knife sharpener creates a whole new edge on the knife. However, a sharpener should only be used once or twice a year, because it wears away the edge, and will render the knife useless if used too frequently.
The plastic cutting board is important if you're cutting raw meats. Plastic is less porous so no bacteria from the meat will soak into the board. Plastic is also good for fruit as well because plastic doesn't absorb as many flavors as wood does.
We have a plastic cutting board, it just isn't as big as that wood one so we use the wood one for vegetables because there are always way more of them than meats. We do use the plastic one for meat though.
Cool guys really neat :3 And amazing vlog as well :3
Your food looks delicious n healthy.
How did the regular shop compare in price to you ordering that stuff? was there a big difference?
I'm not sure, this was $99 for 5 meals. We got $40 off because we used our friends code. So 5 meals for 2 people for $60. $6 a serving isn't too bad. But $10 per serving isn't too bad either. I'm going to have to do some research at the store to see if we saved any money or not.
WEIRD. We are eating this exact meal from Hello Fresh tonight. We didn't get any ginger though, they forgot it. And our beef tips weren't pre-cut.
Its 95 degrees here. If they drop the box off at the door will it stay cold for a few hours until I get home?
I bet it would, since it is an insulated box that has ice packs it should keep it nice and cool
It will. I use a service which delivers fully prepared meals to my door. Never had an issue.
If you don't have oil, you can use water. It works just as good. :) Don't feel bad, my husband and l are the same when we cook a new recipe, it's not just you guys. :)
They had oil though.
I know, l was talking about in the future when they're cooking. As Tim said with some things you have to get yourself, so if they were missing that ingredient in the future they didn't have to rush out. Also if anyone else was making the recipe themselves and didn't have or want to use oil. :)
Anne Shepstone Oh okay, now I understand. Good on ya!
Tim! Come to Playa del carmen! 🙆🙆🙆
Sure thing!!!
Guys what size of Tshirt do you both wear ?
Did Jenn get her hair dyed pink again after the Keys? It looked like most of the pink washed out while you were on vacation, but now it looks more pink again!
She has been using a product called Overtone. It is a conditioner that has a little dye in it. So every time she washes her hair it deposits a little pink back in it.
It looks awesome!
hi guys ! love your videos ! can you blog about some local restaurants in your area ? we are from Scotland and are massive foodies and would love to know where the locals eat in Orlando :-) xx
Sure thing!!! We need to take a break from going out to eat for a bit because we spent so much on our vacation to the Keys. We need to save back up for a little. :-)
+TheTimTracker haha know the feeling :-) I see you guys go to red robin alot so we have that on our must try list. we want to go to Winter park for food as it looks awesome ! trying to stay away from the tourist trap haha ! love your videos ! you guys are such a lovely couple :-)
My produce turned within 5days than I thought so I cooked them up quickly.
that food looks good do they have different choices or is it a mystery box??/
you can go on and choose from a few options for the ones you want
Agreed, it looks amazing! The one thing I noted is that the produce looked excellent... fresher than I sometimes see at my local grocer.
There are 6 different meals to choose from, but it stinks because I don't like seafood and that is one of the choices. So we just end up getting all of them except the seafood.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD WHERE YOU AT
Leave Jenn alone when you're cooking
You guys should do a HHN update.
Geeze its just enough for just me! Lol
I thought I wasn't going to be full afterwards, but both meals that we have had have left me very full!
i was kidding about the #AD in the mail vlog, the food looked really nice tho
lol! We didn't even see that it was you that said it. We just saw it go by and wanted to put that little disclaimer in there because it isn't the first time people have thought that we get stuff for free. It stinks when we work so hard to earn money to have nice things and people think we are freeloading. But we know you are just joking. :-)
Man, I'm so hungry now!
Me too!!!
lol! we also have issues cooking together....its not pretty :)
Jenn, why is Jimmy Pesto in the bag?
No, no, no! You don't reheat pizza! Straight-outta-the-fridge cold is how you eat it!
that is how i do my pizza
its really good
I hate to be hipster but... the reason why the record player doesn't sound great is because you're using a Crosley.
I ordered that a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed.
Maybe because you are a good cook, so am I. i thnk they said it isn't their fav. to do. I think this product is good for ppl who want to feel like they have made something great and actually not know or care how to cook.
yum yum.
So hang on they "supply everything you need" ....except for some of the stuff you need. Keeps THEIR costs down - whilst ensuring to never pass on those savings to you. Usual story!
thought this was a hallo fresh not a warm up pizza vidio
you havent lived until you made waffle pizza out of cold pizza....
Basically take 2 slices of pizza put the cheese side together, throw in the waffle iron for a cycle, and blaaam all crispy and such.
My wife and I NEVER cook as a team. We like being married.
Have you guys ever had a sponsor?
What do you mean by sponsor? Like someone who pays us to vlog? UA-cam pays us.
No one accuses ME of sponsorship when I review tons of stuff from Tesco. This is because I have ever so slightly less subscribers than you 2 :P
