Prep Dish GF/Paleo Meal Plan Subscription: Review/Giveaway

For the past three months, I have not had to wonder about what I was going to make for dinner. I know exactly what I need for an entire week at the grocery store and only need to go there once, and the argument about dinner is nonexistent. My life seems to have changed!

How have I reached such a state? Prep Dish.

Prep Dish is a meal planning service that offers meal plans starting at $14/month for both gluten free and Paleo diets. Every week, I get an email with a link to a printable three to four page document that includes a grocery list, step by step prep day instructions, and simple day-of instructions for four dinners, a salad, a snack, a breakfast, and a dessert.

Primarily, we utilize the Paleo menus in my household, and not once have I finished a dinner still feeling hungry.

These dinners even fill up Mischief, who seems to have a perpetual hollow leg, and a deep love of carbs.

These meal plans work well with people dealing with food sensitivities. For example, while the menus often contain a dairy aspect, all dairy is completely optional, which is nice for my dairy sensitive stomach (thank you children for making Mommy lactose intolerant....). Additionally, the nuts in recipes have alternatives if you have a nut allergy in the house.

Each recipe is intended to feed a family of four (two adults and two children), but I have leftovers after almost every meal, even though sometimes I'm feeding three adults.

In fact, I usually have so many leftovers that after a couple weeks I don't even need to go to the grocery store, we just eat leftovers all week!!

I really enjoy being able to now get some of my vegetation from the local farmer's markets, and wish I could get all of it there, but unfortunately it isn't quite the right climate for certain things like pineapples and oranges here in Washington state.

For produce like zucchini, greens, and berries, though, I love supporting the local farms! Prep Dish menus have evolved with the changing of the seasons, and they allow me to get more and more from them!

To give you an idea of what you might expect from a Prep Dish meal plan here's a sample menu that includes our family's favorite Prep Dish meal, Shrimp Cobb Salad:

• Meal 1: Shrimp Cobb Salad
• Meal 2: Honey Mustard Chicken w/Tarragon Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus
• Meal 3: Grass Fed Steaks w/Baked Potatoes and Broccoli
• Meal 4: Mediterranean Frittata
• Salad: Spinach, Oranges, Fennel, and Avocado
• Breakfast: Grain Free Cranberry Pecan Granola
• Snack: Hard Boiled Eggs
• Dessert: Banana Cookies 

I've actually gone back and made this salad again twice! It is a wonderful salad for the climbing temperatures of summer!

serves 4

2 Avocados
1 Head of Romaine Lettuce
1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes
4 slices Thin Cut Bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 lb Peeled and Deveined Shrimp
2 Eggs, Hard Boiled

Finely chop one head of romaine lettuce. Halve a pint of cherry tomatoes. Peel and quarter hard cooked eggs. Slice avocados.

Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add shrimp and cover. Remove from heat and cook for ten minutes or until just cooked.

Toss all ingredients together and top with vinaigrette.

This salad is wonderful for a hot summer night and even tastes good the next day!
