They are a perfect amount of super flavorful food with a whole-word and recognizable ingredient lists. I've tried some other backpacking meals that have way too much sodium and end up making me sick so I was really happy to find a more natural and delicious option. They do take a little longer to re-hydrate but those minutes are very well worth the wait and I use them to set up my tent :). Love Good To-go meals and will definitely buy and gift again! Keep making more vegetarian options :)!

The staff is friendly and very helpful and will guide you along the way. A few months ago, I had obtained a $50 gift certificate from a local radio station to Dream Dinners at the Sebbins Brook Marketplace in Bedford. Last month, I decided to give Dream Dinners a try and booked my meals and night session online. By all means, the food here is not cheap with a 36 serving minimum required and up to 12 people per session, no young children allowed during the sessions. However, there is a competing meal assembly place that allows young children and all I can say is it's located in Manchester in a strip plaza with a very popular Mexican restaurant and a Japanese restaurant with a hilarious hostess. Be sure to bring a cooler or laundry basket to carry your meals away. I arrived here on a very chilly night and the staff let me in (doors are locked at night). I was given my assigned meal label stickers and given instructions by the staff. I had to put on an apron and wash my hands (very often between food stations). Each food station has recipe cards (3 or 6 servings) with the raw ingredients, spices & measuring cups/spoons/scoops all in place. Much of the food is prepared in Ziploc bags and/or aluminum pans. Most of the ingredients used are restaurant quality, but the meats including the chicken breasts, beef, and steaks are frozen, just average cuts of meats. When I was done putting together each dish, I put each labeled meal in the cooler, on the racks with my name. If a food station for one of my items was occupied, I had to move onto an available station for another item. There were also some stuffed shells to snack on during my short breaks. I had a great time putting together my awesome meals with very little effort and thought. It felt like I was Rachael Ray in Home Ec class. I was the only guy here and all of the others here were women, mostly wives (mid 20s to mid 40s). I finished assembling my 39 servings, in just under 2 hours. The staff gave me a cheat sheet with preparation methods/times and serving suggestions for my meals and helped me pack up my freezer-ready meals. The actual preparation of the meals at home was very simple and I just followed the instructions on the labels, whether it's prepared in the oven or by stovetop. The meals I had were very tasty including the Oven Baked Almond Chicken, Beef Pasta Bolognese, Creamy Tortellini with Bacon, Pork Paprika, Caribbean Jerk Chicken, White Chicken Lasagna, Arroz Con Pollo and New Orleans Jambalaya. The only meal that disappointed was the Grilled Steaks with Caramelized Onions since the grade of meat was not premium and I could buy a nice cut of steak at the market at a lower price. Dream Dinners did save me a lot of time, no hassle and no cleaning up the kitchen. I spent a total of $177 on 39 servings, less than $5 per serving.

I waddled into this chicken pie restaurant with the confidence of a man who had absolutely no…read moreintention of leaving hungry, and the second I pushed open the door the smell of buttery crust, roasted chicken, gravy, and herbs smacked me right in the face like a warm delicious cloud, and I could practically hear my stomach celebrating like it had just won the lottery. I sat down in the chair, opened the menu, and realized almost immediately that ordering just one chicken pie would be an absolute tragedy and a personal failure, so I began carefully planning to try as many different pies as possible like some kind of overly dedicated chicken-pie scientist conducting extremely serious and important research. Naturally I started with the classic chicken pot pie because tradition must always be respected before you begin making ridiculous food decisions, and when it arrived the crust was perfectly golden and flaky and the steam rising out of it smelled so incredible that I actually leaned back in my chair for a second just to admire it like it was a beautiful work of art. The first bite nearly made me emotional because the creamy filling, the tender chunks of chicken, and the perfectly cooked vegetables all blended together in a way that made me wonder if this might secretly be the greatest food ever created in human history, and right then and there I decided I absolutely had to order another pie immediately just to confirm that the first one wasn't a lucky accident. After finishing that one at a pace that probably worried nearby customers, I confidently ordered a garlic herb chicken pie which smelled so amazing when it arrived that the table next to me actually stopped talking and turned around to look at it like I had just been served treasure. The crust shattered perfectly with every bite and the garlic and herbs made the entire pie taste so rich and comforting that I found myself nodding slowly like a judge on a cooking show who had just discovered enlightenment through baked poultry. At this point the waiter began giving my table the kind of cautious glances usually reserved for people doing something extremely questionable, mostly because the growing stack of empty pie dishes was starting to resemble a small pastry skyscraper, but I simply smiled politely and pointed at three more pies on the menu because clearly I had not yet completed my important culinary investigation. The next one to arrive was a spicy buffalo chicken pie which somehow managed to combine comfort food with complete chaos in the best way possible, and even though my forehead started sweating a little from the heat I refused to slow down because the flavor was so good that stopping would have been disrespectful to the chef. Not long after that I ordered a barbecue chicken pie because apparently my brain had decided that this entire meal was now a personal challenge, and the sweet smoky filling mixed with the buttery crust so perfectly that I briefly forgot how many pies I had already eaten and started thinking about ordering two more immediately. The waiter returned to the table and cautiously asked if I wanted anything else, and before he even finished the sentence I enthusiastically pointed to several more pies on the menu and said yes, because clearly this restaurant had not yet shown me everything it was capable of. Soon a mushroom chicken pie arrived and it was so rich and creamy that I had to pause for a moment and stare up at the ceiling while chewing, not because I was full but because my brain needed a second to process how unbelievably good the flavor was. Then came a chicken bacon ranch pie that honestly felt illegal in the best possible way, because every bite tasted like comfort, happiness, and the kind of decision that would absolutely confuse a doctor during a future checkup. By this point my table looked like the aftermath of a pie tornado because empty tins and plates were scattered everywhere, but that didn't stop me from continuing to scan the menu and point at more items like an explorer discovering entirely new lands made of chicken and pastry. The kitchen eventually sent out a special chef's chicken pie that I'm fairly certain was originally meant for multiple people to share, but I accepted the challenge with incredible enthusiasm because it smelled far too good to refuse. The crust was thicker, the filling was absolutely packed with chicken, and every bite tasted unbelievably good in a way that made me lean back and quietly whisper "wow" to myself several times. Around this time several employees casually walked past my table pretending to do other tasks but clearly just trying to observe the rapidly growing pile of empty pie tins, and I could feel the concern slowly spreading throughout the room as if everyone had realized they were witnessing some kind of historic chicken-pie event.

It is very difficult to get good chicken pot pies in the grocery store and this store was worth a try. The business was clean and the woman working there was helpful once we explained that it was our first time there. You can buy chicken pies with or without vegetables. They come in warm, cold and frozen. You can also order side dishes with the pies. We purchased two frozen pies with no vegetables. My wife likes to cook her own vegetables. At home, we cooked it according to the instructions and added mashed potatoes and vegetables. We thought the pie itself was very good. The crust was crispy and the pie was filled with a large amount of white meat. The gravy was very good too. We have already returned to this business for more of their frozen chicken pies. They are so much better than the grocery store brands. We just wish the store was closer to where we live.

The Southwick Food court on the first (basement) floor of Southwick Hall, offers a make-your-own Salad Bar which is charged by the ounce, specialty grilled sandwiches and burritos to order, daily soups, and fast foods like pizza by the slice, chicken tenders, burgers, breadsticks and fries. Fountain drinks, fruit smoothies, coffee and bottled specialty drinks are all available as well as grab and go snacks and sweets. I usually go for the salad bar because it has a good variety of greens and toppings. There are two large dining rooms with seating so you can stay and eat if you don't mind college students or you need to plug in and work at a table (thought outlets are limited.) This is also a popular spot with faculty members as well since it's convenient to their many offices nearby. Hours are generally until 7pm on weekdays, however the best food selection is usually during lunch between 11am- 3pm daily.

I've had quiche in the past but this one takes the cake. It was filled with salami, egg cooked to perfection and topped with a lightly seasoned tomato. I thought it couldn't get any better, but alas! There were pieces of broccoli hidden within the confines of the cheddar cheese blend that was melting on the inside, but golden brown atop this incredible dish. The crust was the perfect combination of crunchy, moist and soft. I highly recommend this place and will be back again I'm sure.
