Plated Review - 6/28 Delivery

The Box: Plated

The Cost: $10/month for optional membership.  $12/plate with membership, $15 without.

The Goods: Ingredients needed to make a dish that you choose from their weekly curated menus.

J was really concerned with the fact that they were sending us produce and cheese and such via Fedex, but they ship in a box with plenty of insulation and cooler packs. 

Pasta with Vodka Sauce and Grilled Vegetables: I'm not sure why, but I've never made my own pizza before!  J doesn't drink, so we skipped the vodka part of the sauce.

The ingredients for each recipe are sorted and clearly labeled.  (The pizza dough came ready to use, no kneading or anything required.)

The recipe only required about half of each of the veggies.  J was more than happy to claim the rest of these lovelies. 

J took the arranging of the veggies very seriously.

Here's our finished product!  It was super delicious.  I'm not sure I'd have ordered a pizza with zucchini previously, but I definitely would now.

Tofu Scallion Pot Stickers with Sugar Snap Peas: We buy frozen pot stickers pretty regularly but, here again, we've never made them ourselves.

Here's the full cast of ingredients:

The in-process shots:

And the final product!  These were SO good.  They're a lot easier to make than I was anticipating, so we'll definitely make these again. J - an avid hater of peas - even admitted that the snap peas were tasty.

  So, I'd say our first Plated delivery was a big success.  Yes, I probably could have gone to the grocery store and picked up ingredients for less money.  However, I'm lazy.  I also have a knack for finding a recipe, buying all the ingredients...then forgetting about it until one or more has spoiled.  We won't be ordering one every single week, but we'll definitely get more deliveries in the future.
