I think a good balance for me would be to do one every few weeks. I definitely plan on doing more of her meal plans. The option to add a previous meal to the current week’s meal plan A mobile app to make pulling up the recipes in the kitchen super easy (and perhaps a mobile shopping list with check boxes?) I had a few suggestions for feedback that popped into my head, and Jess says she’s already working on them! Here are three things she’s hoping to add: She is continuously improving the experience based on feedback from her community. Jess just launched this service in May, and it’s already a really awesome tool.
They all had creative ingredient combinations built into simple techniques. I really loved all four meals, and I found them all to be very easy to prepare. They were so easy to mix and bake, and I can see us making them over and over again with different flavor combinations. If I had to choose a favorite meal for the week it would be the quinoa burgers. We also added a slice of Great Harvest Jalapeno Corn Bread – yum! Since it is easy to be flexible with the plan, Matt ended up bringing home some salad greens from the market instead, so we had yet another salad! Easy enough because it required no cooking. It was supposed to be parmesan asparagus, but I couldn’t find any more local asparagus. I sort of dropped the ball on the side dish. The chicken was cooked in a pan and then oven finished so the cheese melted beautifully. I just loved how simple this was yet it was bursting with flavor. Our final night we had chicken breasts with more of the kalamata olive tapenade smothered on top and melty Fontina cheese underneath. Mazen liked it too! I had the leftovers for lunch the next day. I will make this again! We had leftover greens from the night before, so we tucked a few on the side. Olives, artichokes, lemon and thyme brought so much flavor, and the canned tuna was an easy source of protein. The orzo tuna salad was delicious! The tapenade really took it to the next level. I also appreciated that I used ingredients I don’t normally use with the addition of artichokes and albacore tuna. Wednesday night’s dinner was super quick and easy, especially since I made the olive tapenade the night before! The dish was a throw-in-a-pot kind of meal, and we loved the simplicity. And the hot sauce aioli was a nice touch as well! Matt used the extra as a dip for his fries. The burgers held together so well, and I was surprised at how such a small amount of barbecue sauce added so much flavor to them. We decided to go bunless so we could eat lots of sweet potato fries! And we added a simple green salad for a few more veggies. The recipes are fresh, healthy, customizable and most importantly, they had me really excited to get cooking. This is not a meal plan of plain chicken breasts and steamed broccoli.
Upon first glance I knew that Cook Smarts and I would be a great match. Jess, the site’s founder and chef extraordinaire, asked me if I’d like a complimentary meal plan subscription to share my experience with you all. Last week I had lots and lots of fun in the kitchen! My inspiration was a meal planning service from Cook Smarts.
