    I've tried Dream Dinners and it was just so-so. Everything tasted pretty much the same--mostly because it was all based on processed/packaged foods. There wasn't anything we got really excited about.

    Thank you for the tip, MommaFoley. I was skeptical about those places, though I'm sure they're great if you want to get ahead of the game. That is a wonderful recommendation on the book as well! I'll have to try it with my family.

    The meals from those stores are great, but get pricey $$$
    Last Summer, I lucked upon Rachael Ray's 365 No Repeats cookbook. There's a different recipe for every day of the year (plus one extra for leap year). My family rarely complains. Why would they? They don't have to eat it again for a year - HA! Every recipe takes 30 minutes or less to make. The variety is amazing.
    Hope this helps.
