We skipped Plated last week because we weren’t in town when the delivery was set to arrive and I think B assumed we’d skipped this week too since I never mentioned to him that it arrived (*). He came home from work Thursday and said all sassy – “What’s for dinner”. Umm, PLATED!! Ha! He was thrilled. B loves Plated and really enjoys cooking and this is a great way to make amazing meals without running all around finding the right ingredients and is a complete time saver.
Plated ships via FedEx and arrives on Tuesdays. Plated always arrives on Tuesdays no matter what part of the country you are in. They ship and pack on Mondays and it’s at your door Tuesday. Amazing.
I don’t even worry about anything being spoiled in my box anymore. Everything always arrived perfectly chilled and I have never had any missing items or bad produce. I actually would have expected it by now since we have ordered so many Plated boxes, but it hasn’t happened.
~Pan-Roasted Chicken Panini with Squash and Broccoli Rabe: While delicious, this totally took more than a half an hour to prepare. It was totally worth the wait and B never minds preparing any of the Plated meals, but if you were counting on the 30 minute prep time with this one, it wasn’t happening. I would totally pick to have this one again, but might use something instead of just plain mayo. Not sure what. Something.
~Quinoa Salad with Seared Salmon and Avocado: Hmm, I can’t seem to find a link to this on Plated. No matter, it was one of my favorite Plated meals ever. It’s not something I would ever thing to mix all together, but it worked. It totally worked. And I actually thought the avocado might be bad when I opened the box (it was all soft and kind of dark), but it was perfect when we cut into it. I should have known better ;).
Did you get Plated this week? What’d you think? This weeks menu includes Steak with Rajas Corn and Mexican Squash, Tilapia with Escarole, Roasted Chicken (my pick), Tuna Sushi Bowls and Tortilla Soup (my pick). This menu, which gets delivered Tuesday (10/15), is only valid until 12pm (EST) on Monday though. After that, it’s a whole new menu which will be delivered the following Tuesday (10.22). So if you like these meals, get them now!
If you are interested in giving it a try or want to learn more, click here to try two free plates (new customers only). Basically you’ll get 4 plates for the price of 2 ($30)!! That’s 4 meals/plates for $30, which is less than $8/plate.

(*) I tell B about all the boxes I get, what was in them, etc. I’m sure sure he only listens 10% of the time, but he pretends to care. Most of the time.
