Doing Dinner

Thursday July 24, 2008
Although I enjoy cooking, I simply dread the chore of fixing dinner for my family. It has always felt like a burden to make exciting, tasty meals that both of my twins will like, while still providing food that is nutritious and healthy without spending a fortune. Sometimes I feel like I just can't win.

But I think I've found a solution. Instead of cooking dinner, I started making meals at a local meal preparation center. I go in about once a month and prepare twelve meals that I store in the freezer. Then, come dinnertime, it only takes a few minutes to put supper on the table. This has been an especially efficient solution in the summer months, when I'd rather be at the pool, on the boat, or at the beach than in the kitchen. Read all about my experience and get tips for finding a meal preparation center in your area.
