The L.A. Dime

Having two working parents in the house and a 1-year old that’s now walking and climbing all over, all the time, finding time to make healthy meals every night is a challenge. While we do treat ourselves to dinner out, we try to cook at home at least 5 days/week. We used to take turns since Brad is a better cook than I am and I am usually doin other chores like paying bills, laundry or cleaning at night, we recently decided to give DreamDinners a chance. My company started this program where you pick dinners (just the meats, no sides) from a menu and those meals are then delivered to the office. They come frozen so I can take them home, keep them in the fridge overnight and make them for dinner the next night. It’s a pretty cost-effective way to eat healthy (both in ingredients and portions) and it sure cuts down on shopping and preparation time.

We’ve learned a lot about prioritizing this past year, and while eating healthy & together as a family is stilll at the top of the list, spending a lot of time in the kitchen is not. If you’re interested, check out www.dreamdinners.com — you can go to your local location, cook the meals you want (they have all the ingredients prepped for you) and then take them home to have in your fridge.
