May's Menu now Available

2007-04-21T12:30:00.000-07:00

We have some exciting changes for May including our new "Right Sized" Individual Portions available out of our freezer. These entrees are best for people who live alone or for families with different tastes or picky children. They are also a great option for school aged children that have to prepare their own dinner. Instead of relying on Easy Mac, Ramen Noodles or Chef Boyardee you can feel good knowing that your children are eating wholesome, easy to prepare meals. Our individual entrees are also a good alternative to Seattle Sutton type eating by having a neverending variety to choose from while maintaining portion control.

Our May menu is now available online at our website and some hightlights include: Turkey Pecan Enchiladas, Grilled Salmon with Mustard Dill Sauce, Beef with Spicy Cocoa Gravy over Egg Noodles and a dessert that is to die for.....Layered Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert.

Treat Mom this Mother's Day with a break from the kitchen by giving her a Magnificent Meals Gift Certificate or treat her to a month's worth of our entree delivery service. Choose from 3, 4 or 5 freshly prepared meals delivered right to your doorstep once a week for a month. See our website for details

We Continue to Evolve!

2007-04-09T10:48:00.000-07:00

We are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and demands of consumers here at Magnificent Meals. To compliment our switch to "Walk-In Everyday, No Appoinment Needed" we have also changed our pricing to an a la carte format. Now you can come in and prepare an entree or two that is best within your budget whether it be one of our meals priced around $15.00 or one of our meals that is priced from $20.00 to $25.00. If you do decide to do a large amount of entrees the average will usually fall under $20.00 per entree. Again these entrees are large enough to feed six people.

We also offer these entrees in half portions for pick up for smaller families or families with picky children that do not want to eat what mom and dad are eating.

Coming soon will be "individual portions" for singles that will be available in our freezer only. This will allow a greater variety for single individuals by not having to buy a large entree and thus eat the same meal for up to a week.

We also have delivery services available with packages that will deliver 3, 4 or 5 fresh entrees to your door every week.

As we continue to learn and meet your needs we welcome any feedback and comments as to what you would like to have available or what services you would like to see at Magnficent Meals. If you already appreciate the services, please let us know that too!

Eat Well,

Welcome!

Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog! Here you can find the latest information on nutrition, fitness and the exciting developments at Magnificent Meals. The meal preparation industry is growing but there are still many people who do not understand or see the value in it. I hope that through this blog I can not only answer questions but also clarify misconceptions about the industry.

Misconception # 1: "Boy, it sure seems expensive!"

Clarification: Meal preparation at our store is actually VERY cost effective. First, you will save money by not having to buy extra ingredients that will sit in your refrigerator and spoil. At our store you only use the ingredients that you need to complete your tasty meal. Second, you will save money by not having to dine in restaurants or stop for fast food. While fast food is cheap in theory, the price adds up when it is purchased 3, 4 or even 5 times per week. The average cost for a family of four to have a fast food meal is approximately $16.00. Our meals which can feed a family of four cost on average about $18.34. This price is only slightly higher and the health savings are priceless. The average calories in a fast food meal is about 1200! For adult women, this is an entires day worth of calories in one meal. Our meals use fresh ingredients and are nutritionally balanced with 50-75% less calories than a fast food meal.

Misconception # 2: " Most of your meals are meals that I can make for my family at home, why would I do it at your store?"

Clarification: While it is true that you can easily make a Lasagna at home, the question really is Will you??? Who has the time anymore? Not only does it take time to prepare the lasagna but you also have to shop for the ingredients and clean up afterwards. The entire process can easily take 2-3 hours and this does not even include the time it takes to bake it. Therefore, to save time you will find yourself instead driving through the fast food lane. By coming to Magnificent Meals you can assemble a lasagna in less than 20 minutes without having to shop for any ingredients or clean up after yourself. The meal can then be stored in the freezer or baked fresh that same day. The time savings are tremendous. So, you can still continue your busy lifestyle while feeding your family meals that you can feel good about. It really is the best of both worlds.

Eat well,
