Make your own dinner companies
Does anyone have experience with those companies where you go assemble meals from ingredients that are already there for you?
Such as Super Suppers or Dream Dinners? I am interested in doing one of these sometime, as I think that would help us to have home cooked meals without so much of the daily hassle. I honestly think that the cost would not be much more than buying the ingredients myself, since they get bulk discounts.

Some of my friends have done Dream Dinners before. I plan to go with them next time they have such an outing. It's actually quite fun, from what I hear, to do it with a group.
I'm all about cooking ahead and saving time.

Dream Dinners is very good. The portion sizes are such that we actually get more meals out of it than they advertise. It's a great value and at the same time it's food that I've actually prepared myself (just had some help in prepping ingredients for assembly) so I feel better about doing this than getting takeout or some other frozen meals.

I'm really intrigued by these, but I think I would have a hard time finding free time to go to the place and make them. Aren't they not kid-friendly? (the meal-prep area, I mean, not the meals themselves)

Probably not a great place to take kids, just because there's no supervision for them. I don't know that it's dangerous, because it's my understanding all the food is prepped so there aren't knives and such around, but still, probably not someplace they'd behave at for long.

I've never been to any of those restaurants. I go to restaurants so I DON'T have to make my own food, if I wanted to make my own food, I'd stay home and do it for a quarter of the price.

I have never heard about this type of places. However, I don't think that I would want to go anywhere to make my dinner and then bring it back. It seems simplier just to make it at home. Is there a website or anything? I think it is an interesting concept.
