EveryPlate Quick Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken Tacos

 


Quick Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken Tacos

Terrible quick picture because baby wanted to nurse!

These were really good even though I overcooked the chicken a bit so it was kinda dry. Also I ran out of mayo for the slaw, so I added sour cream. I also ran out of sour cream lol so we used a tbs less then the recipe called for. Honestly next time I'd only use 2 out of the 4 tbs called 4 so it was less creamy and a bit more fresh. It was still really good though and we all liked it. My husband and I added sriracha. I've been really impressed with EveryPlate every time we've tried it, I've been reluctant to go back to Hello Fresh because of how many AI recipes and premium recipes there are.

 

EveryPlate Crispy Buffalo Ranch Chicken

 


EveryPlate Crispy Buffalo Ranch Chicken

EveryPlate had a good coupon so we are trying it for a couple of weeks. This was excellent! I was worried the chicken would be plain but it was coated in ranch dressing then this yummy Frank's Hot panko breadcrumbs. I'd get this one again for sure. This was my teenage sons plate, hence the huge portion of mashed potatoes.

I let my 6 month old try the mashed potatoes, he haaaated them lol. We've been doing a mixture of purees and baby led weaning, and so far he really prefers purees and doesn't like chunky stuff.

Lemon Parmesan Chicken & Rice

 


Lemon Parmesan Chicken & Rice

Huge portion for my teenager lol. This was really good. It reminded me of the chicken & rice recipe that my son loves. I made it almost as is, the only change I made was that I coated the chicken in the seasoning instead of putting it in the rice. I feel like it flavors the chicken more and there is plenty flavor with the rice. Oh yeah I also only used 1.75 cups of water, I think 3 cups would of been waaay to much since the rice was a smidge mushy even like that. But it was really good! I'd make this again. We served it with a bagged Caesar salad kit. I love lemon flavors and I think it would really be upgraded with a fresh herb like basil or parsley. 


I gave some to my 6 month old (along with peas and carrots) and he didn't care for it. But to be fair it was too close to bedtime so he didn't want any real food, just to nurse lol.




Taco Pasta

I forgot to grab a picture! Dinnertime is a bit chaotic because the baby is about ready for bed by then so he's a bit grumpy.

This was okay. I wouldn't make it again unless someone asked for it, but it was easy and budget friendly. It was a smidge bland and could have used more cheese. My son didn't say anything about it, and my husband was on a work trip so he didn't try it.

Chicken and White Bean Curry

 


Chicken and White Bean Curry

It doesn't look too pretty but it's delicious! I used this recipe from Kitchen Sanctuary as a guideline, I just used what I already had. It definitely would of been even better with some cilantro for that pop of freshness. I didn't have any spinach so I added a can of rinsed white beans for some more fiber. I also tossed the chicken in some garam masala and curry powder before cooking, and I only had tomato sauce instead of chopped tomatoes. I was fine with that because I knew it would just be a bit saucier. I served it over basmati rice, my son loved it. I love it but my husband didn't have any.

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

 


Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

Oh geez this is the worst food pic I've ever taken haha. My husband grabbed his bowl and I forgot to take a picture so I quickly snapped it. I guess the lighting was bad and I moved my phone away too quickly......oh well :) 

This was a wonderful recipe! The only thing I did differently was instead of fresh carrots, I threw in a bag of frozen peas & carrots after it was cooked (while the noodles cooked) because I had one already to use. I ended up using 2 chicken breasts and it was perfect. This was great since we had all the ingredients already, and my husband loved it. Definitely rotation worthy.

Garlic Butter Tilapia with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes

A super quick clean out the pantry meal tonight. I made the recipe as is, and the green beans are a frozen garlic butter blend and instant mashed potatoes. It was really good for a quick pantry meal! Quick meals for busy nights with a baby :)
