Plated

My boss recommended Plated when she heard I was trying these meal subscriptions. She said she did this program since it wasn’t “real cooking” since a lot of prep was already done. I’m always game for anything that makes cooking easier so here we go! The box I got was HEAVY! Smaller than both Blue Apron and HelloFresh, but freaking dense and padded. The items were each labeled so that took out the guess work of what would be needed for each recipe. I did like how EVERYTHING was portioned out. For example, 3 mayonnaise packets were the exact amount needed … Continue reading Plated

Hello Fresh

Round two of meal kit subscriptions with HelloFresh and I was a little weary of cooking again.

A few/many years … Continue reading Le Cuisine Paris

Boston

I went to Boston a few months ago with my immediate and extended family! We haven’t been together in a while or back to Boston (my mom is from there…GO RED SOX!) for quite a few years so it was nice to go back to the old stomping grounds and eat our way around. I don’t know about your family, but my family plans our day around our meals. We are so hardcore, if we know someone is visiting in a month, we ask them what genre of food they want for dinner the second night they are there…like we … Continue reading Boston
