After my kitchen remodel a few months back, I have actively tried to become a better cook. I feel semi-successful at my goal. I saw an ad one day on Facebook for Plated and thought it would be perfect for me. A quick visit to their website and I had everything I needed to make 6 gourmet meals. Each week they release a menu with several diet options (vegan, veg, paleo.) Pick a few, choose a delivery date and sit back and wait. My first try semi ended in ok-ness.
Baked gnocchi with field greens and champagne vinegarette
 |
| Every thing you need to make a meal comes pre-measured and ready to cook. I either threw away the instructions or they weren’t in my box. Luckily there is a pdf version saved in my plated history. |

It was ok. I just was not a big fan of the sauce but I loved the salad dressing.
My next try was much better. |
Italian Roasted Steak with Grilled Treviso Salad
 |
| Again everything needed arrives perfectly and simply packaged; just ready to start cooking! |
 |
| I hate chopping herbs. |
 |
| The hardest part was chopping up all the herbs. I think they were supposed to be smaller. Note to self… next time just use the food chopper thing. |
 |
| Time to marinate. |
 |
| This treviso lettuce was BITTER!!! And grilling it was weird but I actually liked it. |
 |
| Grill time. |
 |
| The steak was delicious… the salad was unique… the experience was AWESOME. I love plated and can’t wait to try it again next week. I have never had this much fun cooking.
