Has anyone tried Dream Dinners? It was mentioned on the boards recently and had to go look up what it was. From the site it seems pretty fun and easy and a more hands on approach to food delivery services. Further could be a fun girls night if you got a whole group and convinced them to let you BYOB!

Was seriously just googling this at lunch! And thinking about asking if anyone wanted to go with...
I haven't tried this chain, but I did a similar one once when I lived in FL. I liked it, but it was too much food for a single person. I wish more of the items came with a side dish, but we do frozen veggies a lot anyway, so I always have them on hand.

@mrs.shinerbock: @travellingbee: @lawbee11: @Leialou: I was totally thinking this could be our next Houston get together! I'm horrible about making dinner and we eat out way too much!
@travellingbee: That would be great if you could set it up!! Sounds like fun! I bet other Houston mamas would be up for going too!

@HTownMom: I'll look into it later today. Are yall interested in March or April?
GOLD / watermelon / 14076 posts
@travellingbee: I can't do the weekend of 3/21, 3/28, or 4/18.

@travellingbee: so maybe 4/11? Are you free then?
@Leialou: what's your schedule look like?

I'd like to go! but I'm due with baby 2 the end of April so that entire month can be hit or miss for me!

Hooray! I'd love to see y'all again! I think I could do the week of the 11th.

@lawbee11: @rattles: @Leialou: @Mrs. Sunshine: @HTownMom: @mrs.shinerbock: did I get everyone? I have emailed the woman in charge and I'm waiting back to hear. Would only the 11th work? Or anytime that weekend? Like maybe on Sunday? Does a daytime session work? Morning? Afternoon? Evening?
In the meantime, you can go on the website and look at the menu for April. There is a minimum amount of servings you have to purchase, but I find that they last us quite a while. Does anyone have any questions I can answer if you haven't done it already?

She said they have that Sunday available. That would be April 12. Does that day work for everyone?
GOLD / watermelon / 14076 posts
@travellingbee: I think that would work. What time of day? I read on the website that 36 servings is the minimum but I think it said for your first visit you can do 18 as the min. Does that sound right?
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@lawbee11: yeah that sounds right. We don't have a problem finishing or 36 servings, but you keep them in the freezer for quite a while. That usually lasts us a month or two. Of course we're not eating them every night.
So she can get us in on that Sunday at three or four. She will have light appetizers for us and we can bring wine if we want. I can bring the wine. Once everyone tells me which time ( 3 or 4) i'll get it set up. Let me know if you aredefinitely in and I will wall you the info with session password etc.

@travellingbee: Yay!!! So excited! I vote for 3pm!! I will bring wine too!!
So Sunday April 12th at 3 or 4pm. Is it the Bellaire location?

So I just sent a bunch of ladies the info as well by going through the old Houston posts. Hopefully more will be able to join our fun food making and wine drinking!

@travellingbee: 3pm sounds good for me as well. So excited!

This sounds like a great idea! I don't think I could bring my new baby though, so it might be tough for me to make happen. How long would it last?

I haven't done Dream Dinners in a few years but count me in for April 12 at 3pm.

@LAZB: you could wear LO in a carrier, since I think you are just putting food in bags and containers, not actual hot food preparation!

I'm pretty sure that works for me. Count me in! @HTownMom: thanks for the tag

3pm on the 4/12 works for me. I just looked at the April menu and the dishes look yummy. You can download all of the nutritional info on their website as well if anyone is looking for healthier options.

Just wanted to throw in - I've been going with one of my best friends every month for the last 8 or 9 years! I love Dream Dinners! Going with a buddy is the best - we split the meals (so we each get 6 meals every month). Then we grab dinner after - I look forward to it every month!!!
Hope y'all enjoy it!!!
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@CarrieLouWho: I never knew they'd let you split an order!
So I hope I got everyone who was interested. I sent you a link with instructions on your wall if you said that you wanted to come. Looks like we will have a pretty good turn out! Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

@travellingbee: we always put it in my friends name and I pay her every month. That way we get all the credit on one account. It's worked out well for us!

If you are having trouble selecting the date, let me know.

@HTownMom: Thank you for thinking of me again! One of these times it will work out - I have family visiting from out of town that weekend. Looks like a lot of fun though - yall enjoy!!

@travellingbee: do you know if there is a promo code at all? Also is 18 servings min for first trip like @lawbee11: mentioned? Not sure my small freezer could take the full 36 servings! What do you think?
