Here's all about Dream Dinners, straight from their web site: "Do you ever come near the end of a busy day and wonder, "What's for dinner?" At Dream Dinners we answer that question for you. Our monthly menu includes over 14 different recipes each month, along with additional pre-assembled dinners, sides, breads and desserts ready for purchase while in one of our stores. A wide variety of options means there are plenty of meal preparation choices to satisfy everyone in the family. We provide everything you need to assemble delicious dinners from easy-to-follow instructions to fresh, pre-cut ingredients."

From what I've gathered from checking out ther web site further, you find a location near you, sign up for a session, and then go and concoct your meals in an assembly-line style, then bring them home, stick them in the freezer, and pull them out and heat them up when you're ready to eat!

The price of meals for December range from $13.49 for a meal for 3, to $35.98 for a meal for 6, with pricing options in between as well.

And...right now you can get your first dinner FREE!
