Our client Tracey Christiansen recently opened a Dream Dinners store in the Northeast corner of town near Powers and Research. I finally visited them a couple weeks ago and gave them a try. What a neat concept!
I went online and viewed their monthly menu items and selected the ones I wanted, picked a day and time to assemble the food, and paid. Then I showed up at my designated time, put on an apron, and got to work. Keri, the very nice store manager, showed me how to assemble each menu item. Say you're making Shrimp Creole. You go to the Shrimp Creole station, get your ziplocs, and read the recipe, adding each ingredient to your bag in the quantity that they specify. When you're done, put the cooking instructions label on the bag and pop it onto your designated refrigerator shelf. Then you just move on to the next dish. When you're done, you have 12 meals that are ready to freeze and then defrost as you need them (or if you have a small family and are splitting them in half, you have 24!).
Best thing is that they taste great. Even my 5 and 9-year-olds have been happy with the meals. Kaya actually got up from her chair and danced around the dining room because she thought the rice tasted so good.
