Getting dinner on the table for our family of four is one of my least favorite things to do during the week. We make use of a slow cooker, eat out more than we should and during the summer barely cook at all. Coming into fall, we’re going to be going back to our tried and true dinner solutions, getting dinner on the table easier in Edmonton.
Spud.ca
A delivery service for organic produce, groceries and more, Spud.ca has frozen meals that make dinner just a little bit easier – and it’s all delivered to your home. Our favorite? The mac and cheese. It’s delivered to your house, and is only $14.99 for a family serving size that always has leftovers for our family of four. It’s an easy dinner, paired with a simple to make side, and is comforting and cheesey for back to school. Try Spud.ca and get $20 off of your first order.
Simply Supper
What if there was a place where you could go to assemble the meals that you’re going to make for the family, with all of the ingredients, and those extras, like easy to cook sides – all ready for you?

Sunterra Friday Night Feasts
Every Friday night there’s a new feast at Sunterra.

Meal Swappin’
Get together with friends and make four family-size portions of your favourite meal, something that’s easy to serve and has most of the things you need to serve it with, with the meal. Then, you can swap with your friends and get a few different meals to stash in the freezer for those busy nights when you don’t have time for a big dinner.
Costco Prepared Meals
Your favorite store for grocery shopping has a great deli-meal section in portions that are perfect for families. From our favorite chicken pot pie paired with a salad, to the Chicken Kung pao with noodles, served with spring rolls from the freezer – we like to make sure there are at least a few Costco meals in the freezer for the nights that we don’t feel like cooking and want to pop something in the oven.
