Do you subscribe to a meal delivery service? If so….don’t you just love it! And if not…..what are you waiting for? Chef’s Plate is a must-have in our house. In fact…..we subscribe to two different (sometimes 3) meal delivery boxes and often receive two boxes every week. I have come to rely on these deliveries more than I like to admit. Chef’s Plate saves me time and money. Not to mention the fact that my cooking skills have never been better! I learn so much from my Chef’s Plate recipes and am so much more confident in the kitchen than I was before.

Thoughts: You may notice a trend with my meal delivery boxes….I always opt for the recipes with the most veggies. This one looks a little more colourful on the recipe card because it’s made with red peppers instead of yellow but it still turned out beautifully. I changed the recipe slightly, something I have been doing with most of my recipes as of late, and added a can of chickpeas. I had extra in the pantry and it allowed me to stretch the recipe into 3 servings as opposed to 2. I simply added the chickpeas to the pan of veggies while they roasted in the oven. Overall the flavour was great, the recipe was easy and the ingredients were fresh. Chef’s Plate continues to be a favourite!
