How often the work day is long and  I wish think to myself, “if only I had a chef in my kitchen.”   At the end of a day, if I is one of those days that I actually did not plan a d prepare ahead(yes I have those days)I just would love to open my freezer and find a chef prepared meal, The kind that is good tasting not traditional frozen food products.  As a busy mom of three I am always trying to stay prepared ahead of time and plan the week, but there are weekends that just have me so busy that I can not stay ahead of everything going on!  It seems to be when I least organized that I need that Chef in my freezer the most!

What I look for in prepared foods, are healthful combinations because I am careful with my diet and my family’s dining habits.  It is true that what you eat definitely affects your weight.  I love nutritious meals that are delicious and convenient but I petty much feel that unless I prepare food myself nutrition and taste will lack. I was given a gift, a chef in my kitchen. Not really but you sure we’re considering how to get one too right?  Seeking out delicious, frozen, prepared meals that are shipped nationwide  has become very easy if you have met The Magic Kitchen!

I received a few prepared meal pieces from Magic Kitchen and they arrived on Dry Ice!  My sampling was all vegetarian style and products that I tasted were:  Rosemary Potatoes, Panna Cotta, and Fire Roasted Vegetables en Croute.  I was really wondering how they would taste.  Often, I find that frozen foods either taste frozen, are not really fresh or have a lot of sodium in them which makes them taste great but takes away from the overall real taste, so my curiosity was really going at hyper-speed to see what these would taste like!

We ran into our first Monday where school sports, met working, unorganized, dinner planning mom!  I am so glad that we had this meal delivery in our freezer and I put it to the test!

The croquettes had fresh grilled eggplant in them, roasted peppers, zucchini, and lentils with a mix of cheese and sauce. The outside shell was butter crisp and light. It was amazing.  The inside was like dining on hidden treasure as each mouthful danced in my mouth as was succulent.  There is truly no other way to describe the taste of this special meal — Vegetable en Croute.   Obviously this won big marks with my daughter and my husband because they both love dining on foods that offer vegetables in them rather than always meat!

The Rosemary Potatoes were very good, cut in little cubes and seasoned to perfection, in their own little container.  The container is a single serving, so do not expect more than a serving out of each, but this serving added to fresh veggies and a piece of fish made a meal a dining pleasure and cut my time in half.

I think this service is wonderful and I believe you can use it as a straight service to just have your meals all cooked(FAMILY SIZE) or you can use it as I did and incorporate other parts of your meal into it and use the portions(SINGLE SIZE)  to add to your meal.  This is all in how little work you want to spend getting dinner ready!  All of the ingredients are delicious, and the meals are nutritious and quick to prepare.  The meals come to your doorstep frozen, you can leave them frozen or get them ready to serve by  defrosting, heating and serving!  When you are done, the clean up is easy, you throw away the little paper pans that the meals come in or clean up the dish you baked in! Easy, Peasy, 1-2-3!

My favorite part of the meal was the fact that all I had to do was go to my freezer and place it into my oven, there were no pots, no pans, just a magically prepared meal and a break for me . If you want to learn more you can check out the Magic Kitchen’s Facebook Page.
