Once I made the leap back into the workforce part-time after being a stay at home mom for the last five years. This meant I was way from home and doing a lot driving which presented a new set of challenge for our family. Being back in the work force has been such a wonderful change of pace for me and allow me to have some real adult conversations. However it it also meant less time to prepare those regular home cooked meals we had gotten so use to.
After a few weeks of juggling dinner time around homework, bathtime and afterschool activities daily after work. I began to feel the exhaustion and mom guilt really set in. I was being pulled in a hundred directions and our family was not getting that quality time I yearned for at the end of the day. That is why I was overjoyed when Dream Dinners Sunrise reached out to me. The ladies share how much meal prepping can be made easy and how I would get back quality family time.
No brainer right? I was like sign me up, we need this service in our lives today!
When I stopped by the Dream Dinners locations here in sunrise I had the opportunity to try the starter pack of six family-style meals. This starter pack is only $99. If you would like to give the starter pack a try you can use the following link, here, to sign up.

My expereince at the Dream Dinners prep kitchen here in Sunrise was wonderful. The ladies made me feel right at home and walked me through the entire process of how to naviagte each station. The best part is that they even put out bit size snacks for you to enjoy while prepping your family meals.
Another great feature is that if you know that your family had a favorite meal from the previous month or you want some extra sides. There is freezer of pre-packed sides and meals from the previous month for you grab on your way out.
We love pasta in our house so it made sense that one of the first meals that I prepped that night was this Lasagna dish. The dream Dinners prep stations literally put all the ingreadients in from of you with written instructions on where everything should be placed. There is no way you can mess this one up!
Once I was done with all the prep I packed it all up in a air tight freezer container and right into the freezer the ready to go meals went. Before leaving for the day I would take one of the Dream Dinner meals from the freezer and into the regigerator to thaw for that evening dinner. When I got home I didnt have to worry about cutting up veggies,thawing out meat or what to cook. All of that had been taken care of for me by the Dream Dinners culinary team. I just had to get the kids cleaned up and make sure homework was completed while dinner was being warmed up. Then we could all sit down for a warm healthy meal and talk about how our days went. It brought us all back to the table. The best feeling for me was not feeling rushed to hurry through our family meal we could chat and savour each bite. This is why I enjoyed my whole Dream Dinners experience and would defintely recommend that your give this meal service a try.
It is not your regular meal delivery plan that gets dropped off at your door steps. What I like about this is the hands on aspect and that once a month I was getting out the house for some quality time with other women like myself. It felt like a bit of mental self care for a busy mom being able to complete a task without a zillion interuptions. Many of the ladies that I spoke with mentioned that tey would get together with their mom friends and make a whole girls night out of their family meal prep sessions. That sounded like a double mom win! I was getting some quality girls time while being able to feed my family healty meals. If that doesn’t make you want to sign then the deliciously created meals will!
