What's for Dinner? Do you ever ask yourself, what should I make for dinner tonight? Or are having friends over for dinner and want to prepare a gourmet meal and you don't have time to plan what to make? Do you like to cook and enjoy making a gourmet meals with fresh ingredients?
Well Plated is a company that provides exactly that. A entree Menu with multiple selections each week shipped directly to your home with the recipe and all the ingredients that are needed to prepare the meal. You may have seen them recently on an episode of Shark Tank where Mark Cuban gave Plated the investment they want in addition to advisory shares.
I enjoy cooking, planning a meal, preparing it and then sharing it with family and friends. Though I have to say I do sort of get in a rut from time to time. I find myself cooking the same meal or a variation of it over and over again. Creature of habit? Or is it just lack of time to really sit down and explore alternatives?
Well for me, I have a busy schedule during the week and the last thing I want to think about is what am I going to make for dinner and the dreaded trip to the grocery store where I walk thru trying to figure out some semblance of meals for the week.
So I decided to try out Plated, chef designed recipes and fresh ingredients delivered right to my door. And so I jumped right in, I placed my first order last week and it arrived via FedEx directly to my door this past Saturday.
I am looking to make my life easier and find a way in my busy like to explore cooking alternatives. It is one thing to have a recipe it is another to have the recipe and all the ingredients arrive at my home and all I have to do is enjoy preparing it and serving it.
So the box arrived Saturday afternoon, I opened it to find the four recipe cards for the meals I had ordered and two separate insulated bags. Inside the bags were still slightly frozen ice bag/blocks along with separate bags containing the individual ingredients for each meal. Everything looked really fresh and to my surprise still cold from the ice blocks.
Here is what it looked like as I UN-boxed everything...
Let the cooking begin!
