Dream Dinners

This last weekend, I was invited to a Dream Dinners party for my friend Amy. If you are not familiar (and I wasn't either) with Dream Dinners, it's a "meal prep" place where you assemble meals that you cook later at home. They do the shopping, the chopping and clean-up-to quote them. It was a lot of fun and a great way to visit with my girlfriends. You put on an apron, assemble your meals, drink some coffee, hang out, gossip. My idea of a good way to spend a few hours. We assembled "Raspberry Glazed Chicken", which was awesome. What I liked about the whole concept was that the meal is already planned and ready to be cooked. I am busy (the whole work and a baby thing) and meal planning and prep is something I don't have the luxury to spend as much time on as I used to. Sunday night dinner causes me a certain degree of anxiety...what to have, do I have everything I need, what time do I need to start cooking, do I need to defrost something, etc., and on and on and on. So this is the perfect solution for Sunday dinner. I signed up for the minimum amount of food that you need to buy as well as for the fact that Amy gets credit. I ordered a bunch of different meals. I'll let you know how they taste!
