Brought to you by You Plate It
Dinner time for my hubby and I is often the first chance we get to have an uninterrupted conversation and catch up on our day, but it’s also the 4th meal of the day that I’ve prepared and coming up with new and exciting ideas can be a massive struggle.
I’m always looking for ways to make life easier so when we heard about You Plate It from friends, I placed an order and a box full of super fresh ingredients along with two delish recipes was delivered on a Sunday afternoon in a specially insulated box, so we didn’t even need to be home to accept the delivery.
It meant my Sunday usually spent meal planning for the week ahead, was free to enjoy with my hubby and girls. Yay!
Having all the ingredients for meals to cook, along with the recipe and step by step instructions – I had a big head start on the week, and rather than having to rush to the shops to pick up last minute groceries – I took the my girls to the park.
I really enjoyed cooking something different and my hubby loved having something new and exciting for dinner. We ordered a Couples Box and had yummy stuffed snapper with couscous and marinated tomato salad one night and a Chinese chicken salad the next – YUM!
There’s so much to love about You Plate It.
Delivery is free, there are a choice of 6 recipes every week that are fresh, healthy and delicious but not complicated. Meals can be cooked in under 35 minutes and I really love that there’s no wastage, if you need half a bunch of mint for a recipe – that’s exactly what you get, you don’t end up with leftover ingredients wilting in the fridge and there’s no need to use measuring cups and jugs which means less washing up. Bags that ingredients come in for each recipe are compostable which also gets a great big green thumbs up!
Recipes are super easy to follow, with six step by step instructions which includes photos – so even the person who claims they can’t cook has no excuse (I’m looking at you hubby!).
All produce is sourced from local suppliers like Mondo’s, Partridges and local WA Farmers which is something I’m really passionate about, plus it means everything is super fresh.
You Plate It is also really cost effective, when I told my hubby how much it was he couldn’t believe it – I would even go as far as saying ordering your meals through You Plate It could save you money. I know whenever I pop into the shops for just a ‘few things’, I walk out with at least $20 more groceries than I need every time (hello chocolate).
Chinese Chicken Salad
But the biggest bonus about You Plate It is time, knowing all the ingredients for dinner are in the fridge ready to go, I loved having free time with my girls and not feeling stressed or rushed at meal time.
I had a stess free afternoon and still prepared a fresh and healthy home cooked meal for my hubby.
It’s win win!

Great idea and fantastic for anyone who wants a couple of nights without having to think too much about dinner! I love that everything comes in the exact quantities needed … nothing worse than small amounts of leftover ingredients in the fridge!

I really can’t stand having little bits and pieces left over wilting in the fridge, so this is perfect! I need to head over and read how you clean your Wheelie bin – ours is horrid 😉 x x x
Hi Amy
If you don’t have time to clean your wheelie bin, there is a fantastic company in Perth called The Wheelie Bin Man that charge you only $20 for one bin or $30 for two. I have used them and they do a fantastic job, so highly recommend them.
Thanks for the information on this food company. I am going to pop over and have a look at their website now 🙂
What a fabulous idea, imagine people on there own how good that would be.
It’s a fantastic idea – a Couples Box would last you all week 🙂 x x x
Great idea!! I would definitely use, especially with having toddlers it is nice to sit down for a different meal with hubby, just unfortunate that I’m out of their delivery area x
If you contact them, they will be able to tell you if they are looking at opening up delivery to your area Kate. Or does your hubby / friend / family work in the City? Could they have it delivered to them? A x
Ahhhhh this could save me so much time!!!
My single friend uses a similar service (Blue Apron) in NY and LOVES IT.
