This time of year is incredibly busy for most families. Your family calendar is most likely overflowing with pick ups, drop offs, games, rehearsals, and that’s just regular stuff! Throw in holiday parties, decking the halls, seeing friends and family, and about twenty million other small tasks and you’re certain to forget something. Luckily we as moms have a few tricks up our sleeves, and that includes grab-and-go dinners.
We’re here to help alleviate some of the stress of the holiday season and have found the absolute best places to pick up a quick and easy dinner for your family.
Grab-and-Go Dinners In + Around Detroit
Olga’s Kitchen
Olga’s Kitchen is making this holiday season so much simpler by offering their Take & Bake Kits! They are super easy for a quick weeknight meal. With the food already prepped, it really allows us to be present and enjoy the company of our family. Take & Bake Kits serve between four and ten people, so families of just about every size can enjoy a delicious dinner without the hassle.
The beauty of the Take & Bake Kits is that it’s everything you love about Olga’s but you get to make it right at home. Take & Bake Kits are now available to make Olga’s Snackers, The Original Olga, and Olga’s Spinach & Cheese Pies. The best part is that everything tastes just the same as dining in or ordering carry out, but with the added convenience of being in your own home. You can pick up Take & Bake Kits at an Olga’s near you or order online by clicking here.
