I didn’t do a review on last weeks Plated delivery, but I’m back with this week’s delivery! I don’t know what I was thinking, but I decided to get 3 meals (i.e. 6 plates) this week. Things like this happen when I am up alone late at night.

Plated delivers via FedEx and typically arrives on Tuesdays. Plated arrived on Wednesday this week because of the Labor Day holiday.

The three meal Plated box is larger than the two meal Plated Box, but everything is packaged the same.  Meat is ALWAYS on the bottom and is under a layer of cool packs.  Always.  Once again I waited forever to pull my Plated box off the porch (I actually grabbed another box that was out there and left Plated), but again, everything was cool and I could feel the cold coming off the box when I opened it.  Here are the meals I selected this week:

~Citrus-Soy Chicken Thighs with Soba Noodles: I was really excited about this one, but it turned out not to be as good as I had hoped.  I think I had forgotten that it was chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts (I have the chicken messed up in the ingredients pictures) which I don’t love.  And I was expecting ramen type noodles and these didn’t have as much flavor.  I mean it was still good, but not as good.

~Herb-Roasted Chicken with Tomato-Zucchini Gratin: This was totally delicious and we will for sure make it again.  It’s something I would order at a restaurant and I loved it.  We ate this meal super late, so forgive my awful picture.  I was hungry!

~Grilled Steak Salad with Basil-Chive Vinaigrette and Tomato Srata: OMG I think that this is my new favorite Plated meal.  Ever.  It was delicious.  I don’t know what else to tell you.  It was perfect.   I would have never order a steak salad with goat cheese tomato sandwich things at a restaurant, but now?  I for sure would!

What do you think of Plated?  Did you get a box last week?  What menu items did you pick??  Next week’s menu include: Poached Salmon, Mushroom Chicken, Shrimp Tacos, Chicken with Tomato Sauce & Spiced Steak.  I opted for Shrimp Tacos and Chickem with Tomato Sauce.  If you order by Monday (9/9) at noon, you’ll get to select from this menu. Other it’s a brand new menu!
