Just Add Heat- WHAT'S FOR DINNER

Just Add Heat- WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

By 4pm on any given day, many families do not know the answer to that question. We all need to eat and we all want to make the best food choices, so why not stock your freezer with a variety of delicious wholesome meals? The award winning Just Add Heat at Ford Drive and Cornwall provides a solution to this age old dilemma. They provide a wide range of meal selections - 16 new choices each month - and most of their meals are available in portion sizes for two, four, or six people. You can make an appointment in their professional style kitchen and assemble your own meals, customizing the recipes to your family's likes and dislikes, or if you're really strapped for time, let their staff assemble your meals for no extra charge. Just Add Heat meals are affordable, easy to prepare, and they certainly spice up your family's meal repertoire. Anyone can make meals like "Pork Roast with Balsamic Fig Glaze", "Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Mushrooms", "Shrimp & Pea Risotto" and so much more. A home cooked meal with your whole family seated together should not be a special occasion.

Just Add Heat recently expanded to include Kafene, a gourmet coffee shop with espresso based coffees, grilled panini, soup, breakfast sandwiches, homemade muffins, pastries, and more. Drop by Kafene, either before or after your assembly sessions for a snack! Both Just Add Heat and Kafene are open daily.

Host a private session with 4-8 friends and receive a $20 Just Add Heat gift card (to be used towards a future purchase) for each new person you refer! And your friends will receive a 25% discount as first timers. You may take the referral gift card OR the 25% discount if this is also your first online order.

SPECIAL OFFER: Oakville Moms subscribers receive a 25% discount on first time online bookings for a session or pick up order. If this is your first online order, use promo code P9E228 to get your 25% discount.
