Martha & Marley Spoon: Glazed Sesame Drumsticks

The first meal from my latest meal subscription box [that I overlooked pausing!] was 

Grilled Harissa-Spiced Steak w/ Onion, Pita, & Tomato Salad.

[I completely forgot to get a picture, so I'm using the site's pic.]

Kayla and I ate the two steaks that came with the meal kit and I added an extra steak for Peter . There was enough salad for the 3 of us, and I fixed us all a baked potato on the side. I was skeptical when making the salad but it was delicious!!! The steaks were awesome as well! We all agreed...this meal was a win!!

Today, I made meal #2 from the box......

Glazed Sesame Drumsticks w/ Miso-Butter Carrots & Kale

IT WAS YUMMY!!!!
The hoisin sauce and fresh ginger made the perfect sauce for the sweet & sticky chicken, and the miso-butter added so much flavor to the carrots and kale. This dish was perfect served over jasmine rice!

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup jasmine rice

4 drumsticks

2 T butter

2 tsp. miso

1 oz. rice vinegar

1 oz. fresh ginger

8 oz. carrots

3 oz. baby kale

2 oz. hoisin sauce

2 T. toasted sesame seeds

salt, pepper, olive oil, sugar

Instructions on how to make it [HERE]

Again, I can't say enough about these boxed meals. If you love good food and don't mind doing a little cooking, I recommend giving them a try! I have tried several, and this one is one of my favorites! 

Martha & Marley Spoon: Steak & Potatoes

Streak & Potatoes w/ Green Bean Vinaigrette

This was the last of three meals from my Martha & Marley Spoon shipment and I saved the best for last!!! While the Shrimp Tortilla Soup and the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad were yummy, this one topped them both!! The steak was simply prepared, just a little salt and pepper, but it was very tasty and melted in your mouth. The twist on classic potato salad was delicious as well, just a simple vinaigrette added to the potatoes and green beans. 

I think the thing that amazes me most about these meals is how so much flavor can come from such few ingredients! Who would think such an amazing meal could come from 2 potatoes, a little whole grain mustard, some white wine vinegar, a shallot, and a few green beans??? And the steaks.....they were delicious....and only salt and pepper as the seasoning.

Martha & Marley Spoon: Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Meal #2 from my latest subscription meal box Martha & Marley Spoon  was delicious! But then again, how can you go wrong with a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad? My first meal, Shrimp Tortilla Soup didn't disappoint, so I was anxious to try another meal from the box. GCSS is often my go-to meal at a restaurant so I knew I'd love this, the only way it could have been any better is if I had cooked the chicken on the grill.

INGREDIENTS:

romaine hearts

dijon mustard

lemons

sherry vinegar

garlic

ciabatta roll

parmesan cheese

boneless, skinless chicken breast
