Living Insanity's Loving Food

 This was one of those recipes that was so good I ate it all in one sitting.  It's a keeper! Mushroom Shepherd's Pie

 This was a good dinner.  I made some potstickers to go with it!  The roasted carrots were wonderful.  I can't remember exactly which chicken this was.  There are so many similar sauced chicken recipes with Everyplate.  I do get bored with the box choices sometimes and switch box providers.  

This was from EveryPlate and it absolutely rocked.  We will be making it again.  The recipe suggested adding cheese to the potatoes if you had it and so we did! Pre heat the broiler, mine is high or low.  I used low Make mashed potatoes.  I make mine with milk, butter, sour cream, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat a skillet and some olive oil.  Make a large dice on a poblano pepper and add to skillet with some salt and pepper.  Heat til tender.  Add a diced white onion with some salt and pepper and heat til tender.  Add 2 minced garlic cloves and a diced jalapeno.  Cook until fragrant.  Add ground beef, southwest spice, salt and pepper.  Cook through. Add a tablespoon of flour and cook at least 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water, stock concentrate, 1 tablespoon ketchup and simmer til thickened.  Add beef mixture to an oven safe dish.  We used a square glass baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes.  Add cheese if you like. ...

 I should make homemade pico de gallo more often!  It really makes the dish.

 This meal was really good.  I boiled the yukon gold potatoes and carrots together before I roasted the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.  They came out perfectly cooked.  I don't like Everyplates roasted potatoes so I usually make mashed potatoes.  Perfect to go with the gravy the recipe made.  I added a package of mushrooms to the gravy and it was the perfect meal!

 

This mushroom pot pie was wonderful!  I did cook some little yukon golds and add them in.  Otherwise the recipe was not changed!    

This was a vegetarian meal from EveryPlate .  I really enjoyed it.  I am missing the guacamole part because I had eaten it earlier in the week with chips.  The ingredients were very pantry stable so I made it a week or so after the box was delivered.  I think it would be great with some fresh avocado slices.  The roasted carrot was so good I would actually roast more than two carrots. Ingredients: 2 carrots 1 red onion cilantro lemon couscous chickpeas prepared guacamole  sour cream harissa powder vegetable stock concentrate salt pepper olive oil butter Directions:  Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ¾-inch-thick pieces. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Halve and peel onion; cut half into ½-inch-thick wedges. Finely chop remaining until you have ¼ cup. Zest and quarter lemon. Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, ½ tsp harissa, salt, and pepper. Roast for 5 minute...

Pork sloppy joes with pickled red onions.  I've made this one before and it was so good I ordered 4 servings last week.  

  This was a disappointing meal from EveryPlate.  I have plans to improve upon it.  Deconstructing a Bahn Mi from a sandwich to a bowl dish is a great idea.  I'd use maybe a cooked pork cutlet and various pickled vegetables and herbs.  Daikon, carrot, cucumber, onion, and jalapeno are a good idea. To pickle the veg: boil in a saucepan 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water.  Let cool and add the vegetables.  Pickle at least 30 minutes.  Top the bowl with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.  Fresh basil and fresh mint could be used too.  

This was like a fancy chicken noodle soup.  Chicken broth, carrots, onion, orzo noodles, and spicy chicken sausage.  I felt like it would have been good to throw some celery in there with the carrot and onion.  This came together really fast.

 You can never go wrong with the burger meals from these meal delivery boxes.  These were stuffed with pepper jack and the pork was seasoned with southwest spice.  Topped with a little lime sour cream and jalapenos.  

I have never made sloppy joe before.  My mom never made it for me either.  It turned out awesome!  I did substitute ground beef for ground pork in the recipe .  I just didn't think pork sloppy joe sounded right.  I liked the pickled onion addition.  Do people ever add cheese to these?    

I hardly get chicken from the meal delivery boxes.  They are usually good when I make them.  This recipe was great and I may try to make it on my own!  I don't even like tomatoes, but these were cooked down a lot.    

Linguine carbonara with peas and bacon from Every Plate .  It was very good!  

I have never made sloppy joes before.  I ordered Hoisin Pork Sloppy Joes from EveryPlate and made them as instructed.  They were just ok.  The next day I ended up mixing in slaw, rice, peanuts, and crispy wontons and just eating it like egg roll in a bowl.  

Another hit from EveryPlate, Lemon Thyme Spaghetti .  I didn't make mine with chicken I ended up using some turkey keilbasa.  

I think this is one of the best box delivery meals I have made.  Cheese stuffed meatloaf , with a glaze, and smothered in veggies.  I did not roast the potatoes they sent.  I ended up adding a few red potatoes and doing mashed potatoes.  I just like mashed potatoes with meatloaf!  My mashed potatoes were made with sour cream, butter, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Also used the air fryer to do fried zucchini chips.  They weren't quite right.  We will try again with another recipe.
