Dinners Design By You!

                                           Fix and Freeze Dinners Made Easy

You assemble homemade take-away and ready to the freezer meals from fresh ingredients for quick and easy dining all done in home.

Clients can assemble any scheduled fresh meals, such as orange and garlic chicken ($11.00 for three servings; $21.00 for six servings), fried chicken and red skinned mashed potatoes  ($20.00 for three servings; $29.00 for six servings), or seafood pasta ($18.00 for three servings; $36.00 for six servings).
Mj Creations founders Chef Marie want to help families gather around the table for delicious meals. Like many parents throughout the country, she tried to coordinate a family dinner, but their efforts were often thwarted by hectic schedules. As a dinnertime strategy, Chef Marie began to prepare meals with fresh, raw ingredients and then freeze them so they could be quickly thawed and cooked during the week. This tactic became popular with her family and friends.

Each month Mj Creations will features a new menu of fix-and-freeze dinners that can be made for up to six people, providing customers with numerous options for planning quiet meals at home or dinner parties with friends. All ingredients are precut and measured to ensure an error-free fixing.

Indian-Style Gnocchi

  • Gnocchi:
  • 3 large Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of pepper
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  •  
  • Mushrooms:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 3 cups thinly sliced mushrooms (use a mix including shiitake, oyster or cremini)
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • A pinch of salt
  • A large handful of arugula
  •  
  • Parmesan shavings, for garnish
  • Freshly ground pepper, for garnish

Directions

For the gnocchi: Put the whole potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool slightly, remove the skins and put them through a food mill or ricer directly onto a floured work surface. Add the Parmesan, fenugreek, garam masala, paprika, salt, pepper and egg and gently begin to knead, adding flour as you go. You may not need all the flour, so add it in increments. Continue to knead until a loose dough forms, taking care not to overwork it as it will become tough. Cut the dough into 3 or 4 big pieces, and then roll each piece into a long rope, about 1/2-inch in diameter. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces and gently roll along the tines on the back of a fork to create a ribbed appearance. Cover with a cloth until ready to cook.

For the mushrooms: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it begins to foam, add the onions and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and stir. Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in the wine and stir and cook until it has reduced slightly. Pour in the cream, stir well and season with salt. Allow to reduce until the cream has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the arugula and let it wilt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
