Plated

I'm still working on getting everything up and running after my laptop crashed and I lost all my photos/layouts for this blog! But, hang in there with me. 
So this week I ordered a trial from Plated! I've been wanting to try a home delivery of this sort, they send all the ingredients (you just need to have some basics on hand, like olive oil and salt) and you cook up a chef created, restaurant inspired meal. I love that Plated uses sustainably sourced seafood and quality meats.
So you set your ship date, either Wednesday or Saturday, and they send an insulated box with everything you need. 
We received two meals with two servings per meal. The recipes I choose were: red fish with harissa (a spicy African hot sauce), kale chips and creamy polenta and (this one is my favorite!) Chicken with butternut squash panzanella salad. We loved both recipes, they both were something we never would have made at home. It felt like we were eating out (something we love to do but might now have the funds for...)!

 The ingredients came prepackaged and labeled, it was super easy to follow the recipe.

The fish was so. Good. I am not usually a fan of fish but when prepared like this (in a butter rosemary sauce...) I loved it!

Have you tried Plated or another at home cooking service? What is your favorite recipe?
