With my wonderful husband’s permission, I went to Dream Dinners last night. I made twelve different meals, but since I did two three-serving portions of each, I ended up with twenty four. My bigger freezer is stuffed to the gills and that’s after taking out two roasts (to take to mom’s next week), two backs of cooked chicken (chicken pasta salad!), two ice packs, half bag of coffee beans and two bags of chocolate chips.
Dream Dinners is kind of like doing once-a-month-cooking only all of the planning, shopping, chopping, prep and, most importantly, clean up is done for you! Yes, you can do it for cheaper at home, but it sure is nice to go and do it the “easy” way. It was like a two hour vacation and I was productive to boot!
I actually did it twice between ^Bun’s^ hospital stays two years ago but then after a bad c/s experience, never went back. (It’s amazing how one store owner can ruin your opinion of an entire chain!) We have since moved away from the area near the “lame” store and when Kim mentioned going to dream dinners a few weeks ago, I figured I’d give it another try. I was not disappointed! This place is amazing!
When I walked into the store last night, they actually treated me like they were really glad to see me! Everyone was super helpful and spoiled me rotten, even when I managed to tip an entire container of oregano over! LOL. When I was finishing up my last meal, one of the girls started packing my coolers up for me and then they put it on their nifty cart and rolled it out to my car for me! Now THAT is service.
I don’t think I’ll go in April since their menu seems a bit boring and easy to make at home, but I’m anxious to see what they will offer in May.
