"Homemade" Meals For 21st Century Families

This concept interests me not only because I think it's a great idea, but because it is so keenly tuned to the modern family's needs and desires; it's so "of the moment."

Several stores around Charleston offer to do all of the planning and buying for you, set the ingredients out on their storefront kitchen counters and let you make nutritious, gourmet meals for your family – as many as 12 in an hour. Then you go home, and they clean up. Anytime in the next 45 days or so, you pop one of your meals out of the freezer into the oven, and you can bring your family together around a delicious dinner just like your mother used to make. That is, if your mother was a trained Cordon Bleu chef like those preparing the menus and recipes you follow at Sociale, Dream Dinners and the Original Take and Bake.

How cool is that? It's like equal parts Mayberry homemaker and New York City executive, which sounds like the right combination for so many of today's families!
