Do YOU Eat Dream Dinners?

Sometimes customers ask us, "Do YOU eat Dream Dinners?"

That's an interesting question. Of course we do!

Before I even ventured into this business, my husband and I were devoted customers. My brother Frank and I live, run and breathe Dream Dinners. We have direct access to the ingredients, so why wouldn't we? And with so little time to cook, Dream Dinners meals are so easy!

Dream Dinners allows me to try food that I normally would not make at home myself. For example, I'm not usually a huge fan of Gorgonzola cheese, but those Gorgonzola Burgers this month are delicious!

Trevor is walking!

Some of our first Dream Dinners customers knew me when I was only three months pregnant with Trevor. Now, he is already almost 15 months! He is walking so fast and climbing on things that I can hardly keep up. Am I really that old or is really that full of young energy? I'm taking him to CCSF's Child Observation class in the morning to let out some of that energy!

Dream Dinners vs. DIY

With so many people concerned about the rising food prices, I was curious about how much our dinners cost in comparison to buying the ingredients at a major supermarket. So, I recently conducted some research and did price comparisons on a few Dream Dinners from the July menu. Here are the results:

Coconut Shrimp (Comparison #1)

Panko Bread Crumb $2.39
Coconut Shredded $2.00
Corn Starch $1.49
Egg Liquid $4.00
Flour $2.50
Buttermilk $1.19
Diced Pepper Red $2.89
Baking Powder $1.55
Chili Sauce $2.32
Sweet & Sour Sauce $1.49
Shrimp $14.98
Chili Powder $2.09
Cayenne Pepper $0.99

Total Cost at Safeway*: $39.88
Total Cost at Dream Dinners: $29.00

Emeril's Fish Provencal (Comparison #2)


Cod (1.5 lb) $9.99
Italian Seasoning $3.99
Chili Flakes $5.75
Tarragon $3.99
Fresh Lemon $1.50
Olive Oil $7.99
Chopped Garlic in water $4.99
Diced Onion $0.74
Zucchini (Fresh 3 whole) $1.86
Diced Tomatoes $1.95

Total Cost at Safeway*: $42.75
Total Cost at Dream Dinners: $31.00

*The lowest possible cost was used in this research. Dream Dinners on average costs 27% less than buying our own ingredients at the supermarket. And we may end up tossing out the spoiled unused ingredients. That's like throwing money down the drain...we don't want to do that!

Even if we assume that we have some of the basic ingredients in our pantry, Dream Dinners still costs less and we haven't even considered the time saved!
