Well after being told about this fabulous way of preparing suppers I finally put it higher on my priority list and made it happen.
A few weeks back on a Friday night I took my oldest son with me on a special date.
We attended Simply Supper in Edmonton, AB. We made 12 suppers in 1 hour and 15 minutes!
I chose from a long list of possibilities for the month that were being offered through their website. They had a great list of meals with an explanation of ingredients listed beside each. I narrowed my choices down to 6 and decided to double each one.
I came home with 6 different meals to prepare 2 times.
They were all transferred to the freezer and on those rushed evenings of activities I am not preparing food all day I simply need to spend 30-45 minutes of cook time without the preparation. With 4 little boys at my feet, any time not needed in the kitchen is wonderful.
I am very happy to have made the time to go and discover for myself what I had been told about.
The meals have been wonderful and there is only one yet to sample.
The price did scare me a little bit. My budget is to stay inside of $15.00 for a supper which will feed 3 adults and 4 children. I even try to go as low as $10.00 per meal. The price per meal when broke out in the same manner is $25.00. After, thought and tasting the great meals, the price is not expensive. I am not spending time to plan what I am going to make, creating the grocery list, shopping, or prep time for the meal each day at home and I can turn the attention to the boys instead.

The other wonderful thing is that my son had an awesome time being one on one with Mommy. He even made a little video at a restaurant afterwards to tell me how much he enjoyed being on a date with me and not having to share me.
More than the time I have saved in the kitchen my children are made the priority and that brings a very large smile to my face.
Thanks for visiting,
