CHEF'S PLATE
Thursday, September 01, 2016
We have all been there. You get home from work, the fridge is empty, nobody knows what they want to eat and the takeaway menu is looking at you! Cooking at the end of a long day can be just one step too far for many people.
Fancy a few nights off from it all? A Meal Kit could be just the delivery you are looking for!
"Meal kits deliver pre-measured ingredients and easy to follow recipes to your door to take the hassle out of cooking fresh food in your home"
I had the pleasure of checking out Chef's Plate and trying out two of their family meal kits.
Chefs Plate is an exclusively Canadian meal-kit delivery service available in Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Manitoba. Delivering perfectly portioned ingredients and detailed recipe cards for nutritious meals, their goal is to put real food back into people's diets.
I plan, shop, prepare and cook pretty much every meal in our house and I quite like doing it too. Why would I want a Meal Kit service? The answer is simple; a night off! It was so nice to set the boys loose in the kitchen and let them make the meal. I did't have to worry about anything. I let my son and his friend cook one kit and the husband cooked the other. If you cook lots then this is the perfect escape from the kitchen whether you are away for a few days or just want a night with your feet up on the sofa. If you are afraid to go in the kitchen this is a great way to test out some new skills with the knowledge that everything you need is right there.
Pro's & Con's
The ingredients were super fresh and ripe- even the avocado's, which can be hit and miss at the best of times! I was really happy with the way everything was packaged. Enough packaging to keep everything fresh but not so much you feel guilty about throwing it all away. Good news, all of the packaging is 100% recyclable too, so nothing to feel bad about! There is no denying that this is more expensive than a trip to the supermarket but the point is that this is a cooks break from the norm. It's a total night off that somebody else planned and shopped for. It works out way cheaper than a trip to the takeaway or restaurant and it's real food, cooked with real ingredients. The portions were generous and there is plenty of food for a hungry family.
- New recipes are introduced each week and feature land, sea and veggie options.

Chef's Plate sent me 2 free meal kits to test in my home. I did not get paid to say nice things. I only say nice things if I really mean them! Photo's, opinions and terrible spelling mistakes are my own.

My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant can I be able to get bring again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can't afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also OK with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care of us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don't know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just an ordinary it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help that was how i contacted he and I do as instructed.
