Steak Frites, Creamy Shallot Sauce, and Sautéed Spinach
We are experimenting with other meal-kit services and this was our first meal by Plated. Two thumbs up. Nice recipe cards with clear instructions and photos. Their website is very user friendly as is their mobile app. The meal was VERY delicious and there was lots to eat. Ingredients: 2 russet potatoes 6 ounces baby […]
Brie & Pear Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
A wonderful lunch today: Brie cheese, pear slices and fresh sage on sourdough bread and grilled until the cheese is all ooey-gooey melted. Served with tomato basil soup and a small side salad of arugula and roma tomatoes sprinkled with shredded parmesan cheese.

Ingredients: 10 ounces ground beef 1 small baguette 2 cloves garlic 1 lemon ( we used 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar) 1 summer squash 1 large bunch mint (we used fresh basil […]
Stir-Fried Ginger-Basil Chicken

The ingredients in the Blue Apron meal: 10 ounces chopped chicken thighs 1/2 cup Jasmine […]

Mexican-Style Chicken Tortas
…with Tomato, Avocado & Cucumber Salad This was a delicious combination of flavors and textures. The salad was wonderfully seasoned and had a good crunch to it. The bread was especially good; light, toasted well and maintained a nice crispiness holding together well once the sandwich was assembled — I’d like to know where to […]
Chicken & Basil Fettuccine
I have been looking forward to this meal ever since I first selected it and it did not disappoint. Delicious! Ingredients: 8 ounces ground chicken 8 ounces fresh basil fettuccine pasta 3 cloves garlic — we used 5 because we love garlic 1 red onion — we used 3/4 of it 3/4 pound plum tomatoes […]
Salmon Caesar Salad
After a brief cooking hiatus due to a delayed Blue Apron shipment (their customer service is awesome and they refunded my money for that promptly), and a break to take a trip to see my niece get married — I am back! Ingredients: 2 salmon fillets 1 small sourdough bread boule 2 romaine hearts 2 […]
