| - I was not prepared to like this, but I love it! #3platesFromJanet. Use this code to try this service at a cheap 1st time price! I just finished my first week and got 3 meals for two people. I do know how to cook fairly well, and rarely disappoint the hubby with what I create, but I have to tell ya, I stress about what to make for dinner EVERY. NIGHT! I'm busy enough at work and other aspects of life that the added stress of planning what to eat, searching through what ingredients I have already, shopping for what I need, then making it. UGH. So sometimes we just go out to eat because I can't handle the pre-thinking involved in producing home meals. With the start up coupon I figured I had nothing to lose, so I ordered. It didn't start off well. First of all the courier had some kind of problem so they were not able to deliver the meals on the day they were supposed. Not only was I upset about having to come up with a dinner that night on the fly, but I was worried if 3 meals would remain fresh until I received them and used them. Customer service is great! Chefs plate was good about contacting me and the next day as it was approaching 6 pm and still no sign of delivery I was worried about no dinner again (we like to eat by 6 pm). I contacted chefs plate and just as they were writing back with an apology (courier's fault, though) and a two plate credit, my box arrived. It feels like my birthday! Each meal is so well organized. Even though I have some of these ingredients at home, everything is all portioned properly and all I had to do was read through the beautiful coloured recipe card that has step-by-step instructions. The steps were easy. I even think I could give my husband the bag of ingredients and the recipe card and come back in half an hour for dinner! Each meal took about half an hour to prepare (which is faster than my usual meals!) and my husband and I were impressed with both the taste and the portion sizes! The only downside is that since it tasted so good, we didn't leave any leftovers (and we could have because the portions are large). So if I want to lose a little weight, I am going to try to put half of my portion away for the next day's lunch. But we'll have to see how that goes because it's that tasty. I tried the Shrimp Laksa soup, the almond crusted chicken and the ginger beef stir fry. Even though I'm a fair cook, I discovered some new cooking tips. For example, I am now always going to cook my jasmine rice with sesame oil in the water and I'm going to brown my chicken in the cast iron frying pan with potatoes before I stick it in the oven.
The only negative for me, and my husband doesn't really seem to care (by the way, I do the cooking, so he does the dishes!), is that the produce is not organic. I order from spud.ca to get organic produce and I think that's a healthy choice. So I washed it all really well, but still, I prefer to use organic. Also, although the meat was good and I appreciated that the beef was grass fed and the chicken had no added hormones, it is important to me to keep antibiotics out of my diet and so I wish that the meat was antibiotic-free. That is the reason that I may stop using this service, but at the moment I am pumped and most importantly my STRESS LEVEL IS WAY DOWN! I love doing my menu planning by just clicking a button on a picture of an entree that looks delicious. And by the way, when I made the meals, they look just like the pictures. Also, at first, I thought this is crazy expensive. It's about what we pay for a meal out. But then I thought, a meal out for about $20 for the two of us is maybe a burger or pizza. This is much better. Also, there is no waste. I often throw out food because I have to buy larger quantities than needed. So, it may not actually be that much more if any more at all. I was nervous that the ingredients wouldn't be fresh when they arrived, but they were in perfect condition. Everything. Chefsplate, I am impressed. I wasn't prepared to be, but I am and so now I'm hooked for the moment. Perhaps an option to pay a little more for organic and antibiotic-free? I am mad at myself because I put my orders on pause since I didn't think it would meet my standards, and so now I have to wait another week before I can get my next delivery. I highly recommend you try this. You can't lose, especially if you use my code to get 3 free plates! http://www.chefsplate.com/?r=3pc-KYAswva #3platesFromJanet
I live in North Vancouver. I was afraid the food was shipped from Toronto. But it's not. :)
