Long overdue review - I highly recommend this local service. Great value for the busy F/T working mom looking for healthier and convenient alternatives. I've been using Dream Dinners since February right before everything with COVID-19 exploded. I was skeptical but a teacher friend referred me and I haven't looked back since. I have used Blue Apron and otherwise used to eat/take out 95% of the time even with a young family. Here are the biggest factors for why I appreciate Dream Dinners: 1. Time = 15-30minutes prep at most. Sometimes 5min. - my dinner is usually on the table in 30-40min depending if I decide to do more variety of sides. Usually 30minutes. - time saver since I'm not having to figure out what to cook, and what ingredients to buy compare to making it on your own and answering the every-mom-hated-question "what's for dinner" - Blue Apron used to take me a good 1hour prep and cooking at the same time like a mad woman. It was stressful when you have little ones running around the same time so I said no more to that after a year. 2. Flavor/Quality= There are some items better than others and I have some favorites like the Kentucky Pork Chop and the Chocolate Chip cookies. My family gets varied dinners daily. I hate eating the same thing every week. I can't tell you if they use organic ingredients but good quality = good flavor and I like majority of the items I get. 3. Cost = not outrageously pricey but not cheap. You're getting a service so, yeah, you should pay for it and it's worth it. if you love cooking and that whole creative process, this is going to be more expensive than if you went and bought ingredients yourself and create your own dishes. Back in the day, I used to try cooking new things; it was a pain for planning and buying ingredients that I may use once in a year or I'd end up throwing out excessive ingredients. It was such a waste. This place has been a big win in my book and when things got crazy with COVID-19 in March, I was relieved that I had a local service like this. Staff is great - Sam is really nice. I can text message them which is convenient.

Thanks for making dinners so easy and delicious - especially during a time when supplies are scarce at the grocery stores. Tonight was (pan) grilled chicken with seasame honey butter and we all loved it.

Dream Dinners has saved me time, health and money. I have a chronic illness that makes simple things like planning a meal very difficult. Because of this illness, I was not able to shop at the store and when I did I would double/triple buy things we already had and forget the things we needed. (yes, even with a list.) Since starting dream dinners I have cut my monthly food bill in half. We no longer waste food and I always have an answer for "what's for dinner?". My 14y daughter, 10 y son and husband come with me to do the prep. We can do the 12 meals in about 30 min. The workers are so helpful and patient. I work with my son so he can help me remember what step we are on. My hubby and daughter select the dishes they want to make and away we go... Each prep station has the dish with a list of steps/ingredients. It is so easy my son could do it by himself, but I like to have him help me. They put a * next to the spicy ingredients with options on how to make it less spicy. So you can adjust it to your family's preference. We take the meals home and put them into the freezer. As we need them, we defrost them in the fridge for a day or two. Some can be put directly from the freezer into the oven, which I love these! The recipes are so easy to follow, my daughter cooks most nights for us. She takes one look at me and tells me to lay back down. "she has this" and she does! Sometimes we add some veggie/salad to complement the meal. I don't know what I would be doing without this service. Yes there are many food in a box delivery service, but this one allows us to work as a family and everyone has a say in what we choose the next month! I would even say it is way cheaper than the box delivery when you break it down per person. The 3 person meals range from 12 to 20 (depending on chicken or shrimp) and it is enough food for all 4 of us, with the occasional leftovers. Money - I figure we save at least $300 a month in wasted groceries by switching to dream dinners. Time - is a no brainer. I no longer wonder around a grocery store hoping something good lands in my basket. Health, well it is priceless to me to have 12 meals ready to go and not have to worry about shopping. Thank you dream dinners!

Fantastic store! Amazing concept! It's hard enough figuring out what to have for dinner, but then add on top of that juggling a family and always being short on time! Having Dream Dinners in my freezer saves me.

I love coming in and making 13 dinners all at once. It's so easy to pull a meal out of the freezer the night before and know what's for dinner tomorrow. My husband and I work long hours and its extremely hard to buy/prep/cook/clean. Now half of the job is done, which means we can try new things without the hassel. Even my 2 yr old enjoys most of the meals.
