Dream Dinners in Granada Hills is GREAT!


You get 18 servings of dinners for ONLY $74.95! My solution to “What am I going to make for dinner?”! The facility is clean and the recipes and prep were a sinch! It was like “dinner for dummies”. 6 healthy delicious dinners for my family made in ONE hour! No chopping, no cutting, no running around & no mess to clean! The cheat sheet is a list of all meals I prepared with their baking/cooking times, ideas of what side dishes to serve (they sell those too as well as breads and desserts!) & a little space to make a market list for anything else. The owner, Romy is very helpful and at $4.50-$6.00 pp, per meal, there is just nothing like it. It makes dinner a DREAM!
