I am new to TV. Don't cook & want to find sources of tasty fresh food for one. Used to buy it at specialty grocery stores. I realize they aren't here.

So I am hoping to get creative and re-create having good things to eat. Will check out Sweet Bay but Publix didn't have much.

Yesterday I discovered I could buy soups to go from Sweet Tomatoes. Thought I might ask for help discovering other sources. Ideas? Thanks.

If I can't find ready to go -- are there personal chef services that operate locally? Costs more - but I am not kidding about being unable to cook. LOL

Sweet Bay and Sams have entrees prepared to heat and eat.

I love...LOVE Michael Angelo's frozen entrees on a busy day and Stouffers too. You can invite friends over on a whim and feel comfortable feeding them Stouffers Italian Lasagna with garlic bread and a quickly tossed salad.

LOVE TooJays take out soups and Carrabas has take out soups too. It is almost worth getting a cold to bring home their chicken soup.

Bon Appetite!

Don't forget Fresh Market. They have a fairly wide selection and it's good.

check Publix out also - you might be surprised. At Colony Plaza, I think that section is located near the front - between the entrance doors and the bakery section.

Doesn't Redsauce at LSL still do the 2 for $15 'dinners to go' - includes salad, bread and entree' - used to be available 7 days a week. And Fresh Market used to have complete dinners from the deli - never seen it advertised except at the store.

i don't/ can't cook and rely on picking things up from toojays, crispers, first watch or even subway depending on where i am as dinner time approaches.
but these are more soup , sandwich and salad options. so i keep "good quality" frozen dinners on hand also. one of the home help, grocery shopping companies does have a service to do meal prep but i haven't used it and i think it's fairly basic.
also try Settle in Style for their services. regarding restaurant pickup.

Try Sam's....you can find Panera soups there and they have other entrees too. Look over in the cases by the meats.

Fresh Market has a terrific selection of prepared foods and also many "throw in the oven" dinners. Their frozen quiche lorraine is wonderful. Throw it in the oven, add sliced tomatoes on top and you'd think you were a master chef.

Red Sauce opened up a takeout store next door. Now, instead of one entree a day to choose from, they'll have 7-8 for the 2 for $15.

Well I don’t care to cook too much either so I like to use take-out. I order from one of the many great restaurants in TV and get 2 or 3 dinners at a time. I’m not a big eater so that will last me 3 or 4 days.

As you probably can guess, the greatest invention for mankind (or at least this mankind) was the microwave oven. God bless you Raytheon.

[villager99]

now i can't stop thinking. the relatively new italian deli at mulberry plaza says they will deliver

Thanks so much for the great info & suggestions. I will check them out. This message board is the greatest!!

Red Sauce closed the take out section to add more seating for the restaurant. They now have a refrigerated case inside the main entrance with full dinners, including bread and salad. We pick one up once in a while and they are very good.

Fresh Market, has lots of good things prepared every day so easy to pick up a nice meal.

Can and do cook holiday means, beyond that how I long for something delicious I don't have to cook.
