When I first heard about the concept of making “4 Meals in 4 Minutes” I thought it was too good to be true. Then, I went along as a consultant with Homemade Gourmet visited one of her clients. Now I know lightning-fast meals are a real possibility.
I call it “cooking for dummies”. Homemade Gourmet has formulated dozens and dozens of premixed seasoning packets that make fast meals possible by using what you already have in the freezer. And if you buy HG’s prearranged meal plans it’ll take all the brain damage out of planning and preparing meals. The menus even come with a shopping list of fresh ingredients you’ll need to buy to complete the meal.
The HG meal plans spell it all out for you, from recommended side dishes to desserts that compliment the dinner’s theme. It starts with a Homemade Gourmet consultant coming to your home to perform a “freezer makeover”. Once she sees what kind of meat you already have she can show you how to whip up quick meals by adding to it.
You put your meat into a zip-lock bag, pick your premixed seasoning flavor and pour that into the bag, along with any other vegetables or ingredients the HG recipe calls for. You pop it into the freezer, and when you’re looking for your next meal, your marinated meat is ready to go. All the meals are meant to be either baked, grilled or thrown into the crock pot.
