I’m still trying to get newer dishes so I can get a good understanding of which dishes work for me. There were some hits and misses as it goes, and I’m slowing learning their menus so I make selections suited to me.

Power Supply is around $9.50-$15.50 per meal (when you sign up for a recurring plan – single orders are 5% more) and offers a variety of ready-made meal types, all gluten- and dairy-free. Boxes are sent once or twice weekly (depending on your plan) and you have total control over customization of which meals you get. You can easily switch between plans or choose to skip some weeks. They offer a referral program that earns free meals for referrer and referree.

Apple, Potato, Turkey Sausage Frittata w/ Side Salad

I’m not sure why I decided to try another frittata, given that I find them to be too dense.

This one was decent, but still not something I’d want again. The sauce helps and the salad was too light with little flavor.

Boeuf Bourguignon

I can’t pronounce this for the life of me, but I know I like this sort of thing.

I found it to be delicious! The portion was nowhere near enough and I could have eaten buckets more.

Jerk Chicken w/ Garlic Spinach, Brown Rice & Coconut Sauce (reorder – see the original review)

Apparently I got this before, but I didn’t quite remember so I ended up getting it again. It was alright and I might get it again, but it’s not the top of my list.

Bok Choy, Carrot, Mushroom & Tofu Stir-fry (SPICY)

When I see bok choy, I am always intrigued.

It seems like the vegetarian dishes are actually more to my taste. I loved the flavor here and it was a good portion.

Here’s the first set of meals I got upon returning from the break. I tried a mix of new and old dishes for the first time, now that I’m starting to get familiar with some of the options.

Mushroom & Beef Bolognese over Spaghetti Squash

I like beef bolognese and I was curious about the spaghetti squash, so I got this dish.

I like the flavors, though I would have liked either more food or spaghetti squash that was thicker so it’d feel more hearty.

Chicken Enchilada w/ Cauliflower Rice (SPICY)

You know, they say dishes are spicy but I never feel they are.

I quite liked the wraps they used and the sauce gave it good flavor. The cauliflower rice was a lot more ground up than I would have preferred.

Turkey Pot Pie (reorder – see the original review)

I feel like this time around the portion size was a little better, though I could still go for more! I like this and will probably get it again.

Thai Chicken Curry w/ Jicama, Carrots & Green Beans

I’ve found I gravitate towards dishes with rice, zuchinni, or carrots.

This was a decent meal. I could have gone with a bit more curry and thinner slices of jicama and carrot.

Blackened Mahi Mahi w/ Herbed Mashed Sweet Potatoes & Sautéed Kale (reorder – see the original review)

 

I ended up sharing this with Panda because I decided I didn’t want to eat it anymore. I still would consider it again, but maybe not the next time I see it.

The week we went off to the holidays, it was a short one so they only did a delivery that Monday. The Thursday that week was already Christmas so there was no second delivery and it became a 3-meal week, which worked out since we left Wednesday anyway.

Tagine Chicken Salad w/ Peppercorn Dressing

I have no idea what tagine means, yet somehow I decided to try this dish because of the name.

The salad was decent, but I’ve found I’m not much into their style of salads. I’d rather have more veggies and stronger dressing.

Roast Beef Brisket on Gluten Free Almond Bread w/ Apple Sauerkraut

This intrigued me because of the sauerkraut.

I think I got a poor cut of meat – it was all tendon-y or something. I cut out quite a bit because it was difficult to chew. If they had softer meat, I might try this again.

Cuban Pulled Pork w/ Mexican Spiced Carrots & Parsnips

I’m always willing to try pulled meat, since it’s likely to be more of the texture I like.

I liked the meat, but the veggies were a bit too crunchy after awhile. Not too much flavor either.
