2008 Teacher Appreciation Packages

We will once again be offering special packages for Teacher Appreciation Week

This year, we are offering something even more special for our teachers...a gift certificate good towards any Petite Entrée (serves 2-3) or Two Side Dishes from our retail freezer.  The gift certificate will be included in all Teacher Appreciation Packages and may be redeemed during any kitchen session or upon pick-up of any ToGo order.  (Approx value $10).

The Blue Ribbon Package:  Family-Size Entrée plus Side Item or Dessert - $ 22.95.  Serves 4-6.

The A+ Package:  Family-Size Entrée - $ 18.95.  Serves 4-6.

The 110% Package:  Petite Entrée plus Side Item or Dessert- $13.95 .  Serves 2-3.

The Gold Star:  Petite Entrée - $ 9.50. Serves 2-3.

Choose from 4 of our most highly-rated dishes!

Chicken Parmigiana:  This is a dish your entire family will love! Chicken breasts are lightly breaded in seasoned breadcrumbs, then baked and topped with marinara sauce and plenty of mozzarella cheese.    Tofu available upon request. (Freezer to oven)

Pecan Bourbon Salmon: A highly requested dish here at DinnerDone!   Fresh Atlantic salmon filets are topped with a delightful blend of brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider and crunchy chopped pecans. (Freezer to Oven).

Gorgonzola Beef Filets: This is another customer favorite! Flavorful gorgonzola cheese, freshly diced onions and a touch of chopped bacon top two tender beef filets. Invite some friends over, open a nice bottle of red wine and enjoy this elegant dish. (Freezer to Oven)

Asian Pork Tenderloin:  From The Junior League of Tampa's Life of the Party cookbook, here's one we've had requests to bring back! Pork tenderloin marinates in a soy-honey sauce with added touches of citrus, sherry, ginger and Asian spice. A homemade Sweet Mustard Sauce is served on the side for that finishing touch. (Freezer to Oven)

Side Dishes offered include Corn Souffle, Spinach Souffle, Roasted Red Pepper Mashed Potatoes, Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes and Sweet Corn Mashed Potatoes.

For Dessert, we are offering our delicious Tres Leches.

National Teacher Appreciation Week is the first full week of May.  Please place all orders at least one week in advance, especially if placing a large order.  If your school celebrates its teachers at some other time, please let us know and we will do what we need to in order to accommodate you. For large school orders, we will  deliver free of charge within our standard delivery area.


May Kid-Friendly Variations

No need to worry about what the kids will eat this month, especially with our super-kid friendly menu options/variations:

  • Aromatic Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Maple Sauce.  This pork is very tender and tasty.  The kids will certainly eat this one, just serve the sauce on the side.
  • BBQ Chicken w/Corn Bread Bites.  A great family favorite!
  • Beef Filets with Mushroom Roquefort Sauce.  If your kids eat beef, they will enjoy these tender beef filets.  Simply serve without the sauce or on the side.
  • Cajun Shrimp.  Our kids love shrimp, so they will eat this one provided I omit the red pepper flakes.  Plus, you can always serve them the linguine that comes with the entree.
  • Chicken Braciolletine (BT Chicken!)  To make this dish super kid friendly, omit the proscuitto and mushrooms and simply stuff the chicken with monterey jack cheese!
  • Crab Cakes with Caribbean Mango Salsa.  Try these without the green onion and pimentos for the kids.
  • Dijon Buttermilk Chicken Breasts.  Kid friendly as is!
  • Filets of Beef with Tuscan Salad. If your kids eat beef, they will enjoy these tender beef filets.  Simply serve without the salad or on the side. 
  • Greek Chicken Pasta.  Our kids loved this one during the test trials.  You can reserve the artichoke portion of this dish for the grown up dishes and keep the kids' servings to just chicken and pasta if you desire.
  • Kid's Choice Sampler.  The kids will love it all!  You will too, because we've added "nutrient boosts" of pureed veggies to all of the cheese and marinara sauces. Choose from Macaroni & Cheese,  Crispy Parmesan Chicken Fingers with Marinara Dipping Sauce, Shepherd's Pie, Spaghetti Pie (with or without Meatballs) Honey Drumsticks, and Classic Stuffed Shells with Marinara Sauce.
  • Pork Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Mojo.  This shredded pork is so tender, the kids will devour it!  Serve without the sauce or serve it on the side.
  • Ropa Vieja.  This is another tender, crock pot dish that your kids will enjoy!  They may push the onions and peppers to the side, but they will enjoy the beef.
  • Vegetable Lasagna.  We can substitute sliced meatballs for the veggies if you would like.  If ordering this ToGo, please let us know if you want meatballs in place of veggies for the entire order or just for the kids' half.

May Vegetarian Selections

We will provide tofu as a protein substitute upon request. When requesting tofu or a protein change, please let us know by placing a comment in your session reservation when reserving online. That way we are sure to have the protein substitutions that you are requesting available for you when you arrive!

Kids in the Kitchen!

We are often asked if a parent can bring an older child to Dinner Done.  As parents ourselves, we love to see kids learning how to prepare healthy meals!  Bringing an older child to work with you in the kitchen is no problem, provided the following safety guidelines are met:

·         Your child must be able to work with you the duration of the 2-hour session.  We also ask that no more than two people (per reservation) be working in the kitchen - your child will be your partner!

·         Your child must be tall enough to work with you.  Our counters are standard kitchen-counter sized.  For safety reasons children may not stand on stools in the kitchen, nor are strollers allowed in the kitchen.

·         Your child must follow all normal guidelines in the kitchen – thoroughly washing hands between each table, using spoodles and spoons to work with ingredients, etc.

·         Your child must not be allowed to touch or work with any items that may be dangerous to him or her.  Dinner Done is a working kitchen. It is up to you to ensure your child is with you at all times and is properly supervised. 

As always, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.  We hope to see you in the kitchen soon!


Dinner Done Named Best of Washington!

The prestigious Washingtonian names Dinner Done as Best of Washington.   In a comparison of six professional kitchens, Dinner Done was awarded top honors - 4 stars! 

“I wanted to steal the recipes and run away with the chef!” jokes Goldfarb. At Dinner Done, ingredients were fresh—“veggies were recently chopped and looked great”—and it was hard to choose among the appealing recipes. The meals turned out to be as good as they sounded: Chicken Marengo “tasted and smelled like homemade,” and pork loin with chipotle sauce was a hit with her family.   Rating: **** (four stars)
