Do you often find yourself at loss for what to prepare for you and your family for dinner? Do you end up resorting to fast food or less than healthy meals just to get something on the table? If you’re anything like me, you probably have days where inspiration in the kitchen alludes you and you’d just like to come home to a healthy, prepared meal that you didn’t have to make yourself. Ring a bell?

I do a relatively good job of planning healthy meals for my fiance and I including making it a priority to shop and prep on the weekends. But I sometimes stumble upon days and weeks when I don’t have a plan and I’m scrambling around for healthy food. That’s one of the reasons I love meal preparation centers. They’re fun and festive and you simply show up and assemble a month’s worth of meals in a few hours. And you can bring friends, family or co-workers can take the drudgery out of it. The beauty is you simply follow the recipes, prep the food and cook it at home when you’re ready. And guess what? No dishes to do!

One of my favorite meal preparation centers is Dream Dinners. It’s a franchise and the closest one to me is in Branford, just outside of New Haven. I’ll be heading there on Monday, June 16 at 7 pm for a Sneak Peek. It’s a chance to tour the facility, taste some samples of their food and go home with a 3-serving meal. And it’s all free! I’d love to have you join me and many of my clients. If you’re interested, share your comments here or send me an email at wendy@dontworrygethealthy.com
