While juggling a busy schedule, it is a lifesaver to have nutritious, tasty, and filling meals with minimal effort. Whether you have your hands full with littles at home, are putting in full days at work, playing chauffeur for older children, or just trying to stay on top of the ever-accumulating list of tasks, we don’t always have the time or margin to meal plan, go grocery shopping, and prepare the meals that we and our families need. This is where pre-made meals enter the scene! We have some amazing local businesses that offer pre-made meals, and it is hard to beat their convenience and flavor. I want to highlight a few local places on the blog today!
- Grace Catering Company. Pre-made meals, but with that unmistakable homemade taste and quality. Grace Catering Company is one of Peoria’s gems that you don’t want to miss. They offer baked goods, salads, and sandwiches, as well as their “grab and go” pre-made meals. Their menu items are consistently nourishing and comforting, but most of all, delicious! Their reputation precedes them as a high-quality establishment serving our community with amazing food. I love stopping here monthly and stocking up!
- Braker’s Market. Located in Eureka, this is one of my go-to places as well for pre-made meals – breakfasts, dinner casseroles, pizza crust, and more. They have so much available in their freezer section – stock up for a while and pull meals out as you need them! I also enjoy shopping here for the holidays when all my children are home.
- Eat and Evolve. Eat and Evolve is a local business, delivering pre-made meals to your door. They offer meals that align with a variety of different eating styles and diets and are committed to top-quality meals that are free from antibiotics and preservatives. Their meals are never frozen, meaning that they are not only delicious, but also ready to heat and eat within just a few minutes. With an emphasis on clean eating, their meals fuel you and leave you feeling amazing as well.
- Kooler Nosh. The aim of Kooler Nosh is to provide effortless and great tasting meals for you and your busy family. Their frozen meals are so convenient, as they are ready on demand whenever fits your family’s schedule best. Their meals provide the taste of homemade food, but with the perk of delivery right to your doorstep. And as a bonus, if you live locally as well, there is no delivery fee!
- Peoria’s Neighborhood Chef. Anyone who has the opportunity to taste food from Peoria’s Neighborhood Chef can see their passion for excellent food. And just a quick scroll through Peoria’s Neighborhood Chef’s photo album is enough to convince you of their commitment to quality and beautiful food. Not only are their pre-made meals a time saver for you and your family, but the attention to detail and flavor profile of each dish is truly impressive. You won’t regret giving them a try!
I love that we have local businesses who are meeting our busy family’s needs with pre-made meals! How cool that we can nourish and fuel our families with minimal effort, while also supporting amazing local businesses?! It’s a win-win situation. 🙂
