It happens all the time.
You’re out there feeling like a rock star, when all of a sudden you wonder, what’s for dinner?
Life flashes before you: groceries, traffic, homework, deadlines, allergies, your budget, capacity, health goals.
It hacks your calm. One moment, you’re planning supper, and next, you’re evaluating life choices!
What if you could trade the “work-life balance” seesaw for help, guilt-free?
Now you can, because we just expanded our lineup of hearty, homemade meals to give busy parents and professionals a hand in the kitchen.
If you find yourself weighing the benefits of cooking over homestyle catering, here are ten great reasons to stop by our new Marketplace today.
1 - You’ve run out of time
When your daily list outnumbers the hours in a workday, you need help. Save time with a balanced take-and-bake meal that’s ready in the time it takes to set the table.
2 - Too hot to cook
Your family is famished, but it’s too hot for the oven. A stovetop special like Hidden Veggie Wagu Bolognese with our Garden Salad and signature Dressing works every time.
3 - Options
You want something light + you feeding a picky eater + your spouse is starving.
How do you serve up something affordable and convenient? The Marketplace stocks single servings, family meals, and brilliant bowls to quickly assemble a satisfying supper for everyone. Our menu always includes tasty choices for vegans and vegetarians.
4 - Try new flavors
Lean on us to tantalize the palate with new flavors.
You may not want to buy a bottle of smoked paprika without sampling it. You’d like to taste-test the quinoa before replacing a white rice diet.
We’re always developing creative new recipes so you can try something fresh, any day.
5 - A portion, not a pan
When you want a slice, not a whole lasagne, stop by for a three-portion pan.
6 - Homemade costs more!
Hold the thought about lasagne and ask yourself what you’d like more…
homemade, or a simple evening?

Grocery run for lean beef, mozzarella, good Parmesan
Will the store even have fresh basil, cottage cheese or ricotta this week?
Did we have any more of that good Greek oregano?
What can the kids snack on while I’m simmering the sauce?
What will they overcharge me for bags of over processed cheese?
We turn out legendary lasagnes with trusted recipes you love to taste.
7 - Nostalgia
Craving some savory meat, bubbling under a hot crust? For a traditional homestyle supper, stop by for one of our hot bakes, like Shepherd’s Pie or Chicken Pot Pie.
8 - Nutrition
Our homestyle recipes are thoughtfully crafted for nourishment, using trusted ingredients like organic meat, local seafood, and our plant-based, powerhouse salad bowls.
We’re always delighted to discuss how you can boost your family’s nutrition with healthy ingredients.
9 - Done vs To-Do
What could you do with a little more time?
Choose a meal that’s already “done and delicious” instead of ingredients you don’t have time to shop for, cook, or clean up.
Sometimes it’s that simple.
10 - That “je ne sais quoi”
You can’t quite put your finger on it. There’s a dish you keep coming back for, and you actually don’t need to know how it’s made.
It’s right here at the Marketplace, waiting for you.
If you’re not sure about what to serve for supper tonight, remember: there are at least ten great reasons to pick up a delicious prepared meal, and take a break that replenishes you, body and soul.
