Discovery: Corner Cuisine!

This morning my wife and her friend went to "Corner Cuisine." In an hour and a half, my wife made dinners for the next 24 nights. Corner Cuisine is a local version of a chain called "Let's Dish." My wife and her friend decided to go to Corner Cuisine instead of Let's Dish because it is A)Closer to our house, B)Cheaper, and C)Local Small Business.

In case you have not heard of the concept of these types of places, let me explain. First you select your menu, then you schedule your day, then you take a cooler to the company's location. Next, you go from station to station preparing your meals. At each station are the ingredents, instructions, and packaging for the meal. Ingredients are already prepared so the onions are already diced, garlic minced, etc.

The cost for my wife's visit was about 200 dollars and 1 hour and a half. The best part. There is no extra ingredients to go bad, no dishes or clean up to do, and its fast. With a two year old and a twin infants my wife said, "I could NOT have completed the grocery shopping for this many meals in a hour and a half."

One additional point:
Corner Cuisine also allows you to call ahead hand have them prepare individual meals that you can pickup on your way home from work.

I'll let you know how the food is at the end of the 24 days.
