We all realize how important it is to sit down with your loved ones and share family meals. In fact, it’s so important that the Food Marketing Institute Foundation has called attention to it by declaring September National Family Meals Month™ in an effort to bring families together at the table not only to share good food, but to make connections with one another. We see it as a good time to focus on what DLM and you do best together—feeding your family with foods that we are all proud of. With that in mind, we’ve pulled together meal ideas for “7 Days of DLM” to offer easy ways to bring breakfast, lunch, and dinner to your table so that you can enjoy more time with your crew.

Share What’s on Your Plate!

With National Family Meals Month™, a nationwide movement encouraging families to eat one more meal together at home each week, in full swing, we want to see how you bring your family together at the table with food from DLM. What are some of your favorite DLM tips and tricks to ease meal prep so you can juggle it all? Tag us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and use #FamilyMealsMonth.

7 Days of Family Meals
Monday

Breakfast: Start off the week with the best intentions. Top whole grain oatmeal with some seasonal fruit or a touch of brown sugar. In the mornings, you’ll find hot oatmeal in place of our Soup Station. You can also grab pre-made Overnight Oats and Chia Bowls from our Grab ‘n Go.
Lunch: We’ve done all the salad prep with an assortment of ready-made salads pre-packed with even the dressing included, such as Salmon Niçoise and Classic Cobb.
Dinner: Back to work and after school activities with no time to prep dinner? No worries! Skip the drive-thru and grab a pre-assembled What’s for Dinner bag (available at DLM Washington Square&Oakwood) featuring fresh-cooked veggies, an entrée, and a side dish.

Tuesday
Breakfast: Grab a Frittata made at our Naples-Style Pizza station (at DLM Springboro and Washington Square only).
Lunch: Get a sandwich hot off our press at the DLM Sandwich Station. Try our best selling Little Ed’s Big Reuben. For the kids, grab our pre-assembled lunch box featuring a sandwich, apple, string cheese, raisins, and snack crackers.
Dinner: Racing to get it all done? Have Jack’s Grill do the cooking while you shop for other things. Pick your protein from the Meat or Seafood case, and we’ll grill it at no extra charge.

Wednesday
Breakfast: For a quick morning treat, indulge in an almond croissant with your favorite yogurt.
Lunch: Eat like a Parisan with a French-style Ficelle sandwich. Round it out with our Snack Packs, featuring pre-portioned cups with things like cut vegetables and hummus, cubed meat and cheese, and more.
Dinner: Craving a healthy dinner in less than 30 minutes? Grab a Crispy Dijon Tilapia Fillet from our Seafood department and simply sauté or bake. Skip the chopping and pick up prepped veggies from our Produce department, like shredded Brussels sprouts.

Thursday
Breakfast: Steve Evans Country Breakfast Sausage and a few of Dale Filbrun’s Morning Sun Organic Farm Organic Eggs with a side of toasted Farmhouse Bread.
Lunch: Every day, we cut the fresh fruit and vegetables found on the DLM Salad Bar, so come bring your salad creation to life.
Dinner: It’s pasta night! Simmer some of our pre-cooked Momma Mia Meatballs, located in Gourmet Takeaway, in DLM Pasta or Original Marinara Sauce. Top with a little shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano and grab our ready-to-bake DLM Garlic Bread from our Bakery.

Friday
Breakfast: Pop a slice or two of DLM Classic 10-Grain Bread into the toaster and slather with DLM Organic Peanut Butter and a drizzle of local DLM 100% Pure Honey.
Lunch: A steaming bowl of Made Right Here soup from the DLM Soup Station is just the ticket, like fan favorite Curry Turkey.
Dinner: Fire up the grill and head over to our Meat department where you’ll find Gourmet Burgers like the Palmer Burger, Buffalo Blue Chicken Burger, and even a Black Bean Burger for a flavorful twist.
