Plated’s Blackened Cod with Garlic Aioli and Corn….salad(?)
The corn, tomato and avocado salad/side/thing was AWESOME! Make this! This needs to be in your summer BBQ go-to. The blackened cod was also really good.
The only change I would recommend is cutting the cayenne in half, then starting with half of that. Plated seems to over-deliver with this single ingredient with every single recipe. It’s always far more than is necessary so tread lightly.
Plated’s Pan-Roasted Chicken with Farro and Three-Herb Pistou.
Decent. Nothing too far out of the way of convenience. The name makes it sound deceivingly complicated. Continue reading “Chicken with Farro and Three-herb Pistou”
Plated’s Gnocchi Pomodoro. This massive dish is better suited for 3-4 adults rather than the 2 who ordered it. Size does not equal taste, however. While the recipe on its own is bland, it is a solid foundation for a hearty meal for your family. Continue reading “Gnocchi Pomodoro”
Everything…every single aspect.. of Plated’s pine nut crusted salmon dish enraged me tonight. Continue reading “Pine Nut Crusted Salmon”
Plated’s “Spicy Crunchy Shrimp Bowl” was neither spicy or crunchy. Then I went and served it on a plate. But there was a TON of shrimp. Overall it was … well, weird. Pickled radish? Not really a fan. The rice was good. The shrimp was okay. The seaweed salad was incredible!! Continue reading “Spicy Crunchy Shrimp Bowl”
9:15PM is too late to be serving Martha’s Hanger Steak & Chimichurri with potato and poblano salad. So I put everything onto a single plate, set out a fork and a very sharp knife, offering the plate to Jaimi, and backed away cautiously.

After last night I was very skeptical of Martha & Marley Spoon’s Stir-Fried Pork and Rice. I didn’t trust where they were going with the flavor profile, though I was pleasantly surprised after a couple minor modifications: Continue reading “Stir-Fried Pork and Rice”
That’s a great big nope in my book. Plated’s “Peruvian” Beef Kebabs. The flavor profile was just off. Maybe I started off irritated and it carried over into my frustration with the recipe. Continue reading ““Peruvian” Beef Kebabs (Plated)”
Damnit. Plated’s Indian Butter Chicken with Sautéed Spinach and Toasted Naan was a wreck waiting to happen, so be careful.
I could tell this one was going to go south quickly, even though Plated states that it’s a “customer favorite.” Continue reading “Indian Butter Chicken with Sautéed Spinach and Toasted Naan (Plated)”
It’s time to start a cooking commentary called, “That’s a terrible idea. Don’t do that.”
Tonight’s Plated meal, Seared Steak with Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette, was a mediocre recipe from the start. I made the mistake of starting to prep before I read the whole recipe through and realized at damn near every step there were serious flaws. I corrected along the way and the meal was FANTASTIC!
