My order arrived and this huge box is like a huge chest, insulated with foam and ice packs! Here are the recipe cards that are inside the box.

The items were separated into different bags for the vegetable, ingredients/seasoning, and meats.

I cooked the first meal last night and chose the  Seared Flank Steak with Escarole and Marcona Almond Salad.


The ingredients for each of my meals are separated and ready for cooking. Prep is a cinch, which most of the time I am always tired before I even cook after the scavenger hunt of finding the right ingredients and prepping everything.


I enjoy how each item is perfectly measured and freshly delivered. The meals are never over-complicated.  I am a simple eater and in a weird way adventurous, so it did not surprise me at all that I have not heard or tried some of these ingredients before.

The step-by-step recipe card is fantastic! I not only can visualize what the heck I  am suppose to do, but I am able to carefully read every detail without straining my eyes!

The Escarole and Marcona Almond Salad turned out beautifully! This was the- first time I had this and although the dressing was a bit citrusy (made with lemon juice) it was quite delicious and went perfectly with the seared flank steak!

The finished plate was amazing!!


I was in such  a rush to eat I did not realize my picture was sideways till it was too late, so please forgive me but I was soooooo hungry (smile).

The Chicken Milanese with Lacinato Kale and Ricotta Salata was cooked this afternoon for lunch (the picture does not have the Kale, because it was being washed).


I had a choice… go to work or stay home and play with subscription boxes that came yesterday and cook for my husband. hmmmmm! I stayed home and made this delightfully fresh meal!

This meal was excellent and one of the best I had with Plated!

I have tried Hello Fresh before, and this is similar, except they have a bit more variety on their recipes. Also, Plated ships every week and you have to either pay $10 per month for a membership or pay higher plate costs. You can however, cancel whenever you want!


 


I must say that this was the best variety of meals I picked out yet. The one reason I love these food subscription boxes is because of how I can easily create a new and fresh meal flawlessly every week!


It is amazing the items my husband and kids are trying with these boxes. My husband especially has seen that he is not as picky when hearing the name of an ingredient is in the food, because most of the time he smells it and it smells fantastic! He is the pickiest eater, and I have found that this experience has allowed us to try many items that I would never have bought before, mainly due to his taste for food being so particular and plain!


If you are considering trying Plated than here are some reason’s why you should:


1. New meals come out every week – If you don’t like one week, skip it and enjoy the next one.


2. You are able to try completely remarkable foods!


3. Every thing you receive is fresh and delicious


4. If you waste money on food, well guess what, this is perfect because you only receive what you need for the meals!


5. Want to try new and flavorful foods? This is perfect for you… I have tried so many ingredients that I am addicted to the taste of new food (is that even possible?)


6. Have a picky husband or spouse? Surprise them with a meal and don’t tell them what is in it till afterwards! I bet they will eat it and start eating healthier, because of you forcing them to try new foods (secretly)!
