Good Measure Meals - Day 1
Jamie Temple
On the menu for our first full day using Good Measure Meals:
Whole Wheat French Toast with Cherry Maple Sauce and Apple Chicken Sausage
Cheese Ravioli, Marinara Sauce, and Broccoli
Chipotle Steak, Brown Rice, Pigeon Peas, Southwestern Corn with Poblanos and Red Pepper
Breakfast - Top left photo - The Cherry Maple Sauce absolutely made this meal worth it. The sauce was just sweet enough and didn’t leave me with a sugar high. Although this meal contained 540 calories and 20g of protein, I still felt hungry after finishing it; I may have just waited too late in the day to eat breakfast, though.
Lunch - Top right photo - This was a huge portion size. My husband loved this meal. I liked the ravioli but thought that the marinara could be spiced up a bit to make it taste less like canned sauce. I didn’t eat the broccoli part of this meal since my son has been suffering from gas and I need to watch my diet since I am breastfeeding. So, that’s one side of broccoli for the freezer.
Dinner - Bottom photo - This dinner was also a huge portion (what you expect to see in a chain restaurant), so my husband and I split it. I was concerned that the steak would not reheat well and taste rubbery, but it was originally cooked on the rarer side and thinly sliced which reheated surprisingly well. The rest of this meal was tasty and did not taste like leftovers/reheated food. That’s another full meal for the freezer since we shared.
By the end of the day, we were both well fed and just snacked on a few of the snack items GMM sent with our order.
Thinking about how well these meals reheat reminds me of the Delta Airlines competition where 4 chefs had the opportunity to become part of Delta’s culinary team. A big challenge in the Cabin Pressure Cook-Off competition was to create meals that reheat well on a Delta flight. I would prefer Good Measure Meals to any meal I have had on a flight! Time for a rematch?
