Chef’s Plate Cauliflower Dal With Basmati Rice

Sep28

Tonight we made this dish, which was super simple and done within 30mins or so. It was pretty flavourful and we weren’t missing meat at all! Will definitely make this again sometime on our own.

So far we’ve enjoyed Chef’s Plate the most, out of all the delivery services we’ve tried. Of course we can Google similar recipes, but with the 55% off the first 2 orders – why not give it a try? It can give you new recipe ideas to add to your roster, where you can Google and find a similar recipe in the future. There are others that we find more expensive of course, but even with their regular pricing, Chef’s Plate seems reasonable to add every so often…

Bon Appetite Everyone! 😊

It’s Been A Minute Hasn’t It?

Aug25

I know I haven’t been on here in forever! And I hope to change that…again. Between raising a kid and then Covid-19 hitting our world, priorities had to shift for awhile. I will try to post more on here though I promise!

Hello Fresh – French Dip Sandwich

Mar9

This french dip sandwich was the second meal we had selected from the menu at Hello Fresh. And it was pretty decent, the way the recipe is on it’s own. Though again, next time I would definitely add Montreal steak spice to the meat for more flavour. But the buns were great and my husband put a bit of seasoning into the au jus which helped make the dish. Not sure we would choose this again if we used the delivery service, but we wouldn’t mind trying another recipe some time. Our son did enjoy his deconstructed version as well and in the end that’s all we can ask for ☺️

Hello Fresh – Turkey Tortilla Pie

Mar5

Been seeing these food delivery subscription sites all over the web and heard about them through friends and family. Decided to try Hello Fresh, as you get 50% off your first week. If you choose to continue, you’d get 3-4 meals picked by you, delivered weekly. For this promo we got the above Turkey Tortilla Pie, Honey and Herb-Crusted Pork with Roasted Broccoli and Potatoes as well as a French Dip Sandwich with Oven Fries.

It says that all these meals take 35mins to prepare and so far the tortilla pie was made in that time frame. But if you have kids constantly taking attention away, I can see how it could take a lot longer. My husband helped with the meal and keeping our son entertained, which made it a lot easier and quicker. The tortilla pie tasted fine, though there were no veggies. Making this on my own, I would definitely bulk this up with veggies. Being that we chose the 4 serving option, not quite sure why it called for a 9×13 baking dish. We got 6 servings out of it instead, though you could easily go to 8 smaller servings.

In the end, would I spend the weekly regular price (3 meals for $139.99/4 servings a week) they ask for the subscription? Probably not. Though I do appreciate that they pick out low or no sodium products as well as organic. But I could just plan these meals out myself and get the ingredients. For a once in a while option it’s all right though and I’ve skipped the next 2 months worth of meals for now.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Dec31

2018 was a pretty great year for my family, from taking our son to meet the ocean for the first time in Myrtle Beach with his grandparents, to graduating from his Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic as he was born a micro preemie. Makes one feel truly thankful 💕 At this time I’d like to wish all of you a very happy, healthy and fabulous 2019 ahead!! May you create new recipes and memories for yourselves and loved ones 🎉🍾🥂🎊

Starbucks Cardamom Latte

Sep8

Today was cool enough to have a hot latte, so I decided to try the Cardamom Latte from Starbucks. It tasted okay and not so sweet with only 1 shot instead of the standard 2 in a grande size. If you like chai tea, you’ll probably enjoy this latte. But if you’re into the sweeter options on the menu, this one may be too tame for you 😉

Bon Appetite Everyone!! 😊
