Our lives as mamas can make it hard to find time just to drag a brush through our hair. But we still have time to read the back of our frozen food packages. And the long list of unknown ingredients makes us queasy.
Wanting to find the perfect balance between fast and healthy, we enlist the help of Wish a Dish. Created by the owner of Simple Simon Pies (our long-time hangout at Calgary’s Farmers' Market), this new booth offers frozen family friendly meals ($5.95-7.95) packaged individually or in single servings. Even when we’re sleep deprived and forget to thaw out dinner, we can still cook a Wish a Dish treat straight from the freezer.
And there’s no novel-length ingredient list on these packages. All have no preservatives, with many products also gluten and dairy free. Our brood’s favourites? The Spaghetti with meat sauce, Beef Stew and Chicken with artichoke sauce.
To reward us for a meal well made, we pick up some of Simple Simon Pies as well. (Hey – we’re never too busy for a Pecan-Coconut pie, $2.85.)
