E-mealz Meal plan Day #2

Ok..so day #2 of the E-Mealz menus has been completed.  Tonight's menu was Shrimp in garlic butter sauce over pasta with steamed veggies.

I melted butter in a pan and added shrimp and let it simmer, as per instructions. Actually, the menu called for cooking wine & cornstarch which I didn't have so I improvised!  Then my husband tells me that our friend who is a chef said shrimp should be cooked fast and not simmered. Oh well.  Veggies were the Steamfresh Asian Medly.  the veggie blend was OK but the baby corns in it were nasty. Not sure why.

This meal cost me about $9 for 4 people. Again, not too bad, but still not convinced I couldn't have done it cheaper by eating something different. However, again, I was sooooooo happy to not have to think about what I was doing for dinner. That was so nice!

As of now I'm still thinking it is a good move to have joined.  I'll keep you posted.

Scoring on a 10 points scale I give

menu plan - 10

recipes - 9

cost of ingredients - 7

So, it's a 26 out of 30 score so far!
