PixieBar is a monthly subscription that sends you all the non-perishable items needed for a meal for 4. They graciously provided me a box to try out and I was thrilled that it was pad thai. I seriously love pad thai, but have never made it. The monthly subscription fee is $20 - or a little less if you sign up for 3, 6, or 12 months. They also have a great option to just buy one month, no subscription needed, for $24.
Everything came in this petite box.
Inside the box everything was neatly presently. I love the packing material. Not the typical crinkly paper that I now have all over my house. And everything was tightly packed in with no leaking or spilling of anything.
The Goods:
Tamarind Paste/Fish Sauce
Palm Sugar
Chili Flakes
Noodles
Recipe Card
I was very impressed with the quality of the recipe card. It's on heavy cardstock and you'll definitely want to hold onto this one.
I also kept the little jar after using the chili flakes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but it's super cute and reusable.
Getting to work in the kitchen. The recipe calls for 1 chicken breast - but they clearly don't know the likes of my husband. I used 3 chicken breasts and it seemed like there were plenty of noodles for it.
The Finished Product
I didn't have all the ingredients on the recipe card but I found ways to make it work. Overall, I'm impressed with PixieBar. I like the whole concept of sending you the non-perishables and you come up with the rest. I buy the larger protein items in the store all the time, but when I get them home I'm at a loss as to how to do something new and interesting with them.
You can also take a look at Mommy Combat Team's pad thai experience.

I'd love a traditional French meal as part of this subscription service. Sounds like a cool box!
