Suddenly it feels like you’re cooking 400 meals a day (and what’s with all the dishes?). Just say no to meal prep tonight, and pick up a dinner that’ll feed the whole fam from one of your favorite local spots instead. One meal. One price. Does it get any easier? Read on to simplify your life.

When cooking isn’t on your to-do list, check out FrogLegs’ Family Meals. The menu changes weekly, but you’ll always find two tasty options to choose from, that are available for curbside pick-up on Wednesdays and Saturdays from the U Village shop or the Kirkland school. In the past few weeks we’ve seen banh mi sandwiches, Greek chicken gyros and chicken piccata pop up on the menu. Items are heat-and-serve and you can easily add in a bottle of wine, Happy Hour Nosh Board or dessert to make your meal complete.

Good to know: They’ve got breakfast to go (think: quiches, cinnamon rolls and muffins) for families too, and specialty meals that pop up when you need them (hello, Mother’s Day!).

West 5

Koji B. via yelp

If comfort food is what you’re after, there’s no better spot than West 5. This West Seattle staple has been serving up piping hot mac ‘n’ cheese that makes everything feel better for as long as we can remember. And now they’ve got it (and other options) available for pick-up in family-size servings. In addition to the mouthwatering mac, families can order Cabin Fever Meals (in large or small sizes) that include a hummus platter, salad, mac ‘n’ cheese and a huge slice of coconut cake, and other options that rotate and still feed a brood. We love the add-ons you can select for each meal that help make sure parents get something their kids will actually eat. Plus the order ahead option means you can plan pick-up days in advance. One more thing checked off your list!

Le Coin

Anran L. via yelp

Say “oui oui” to Le Coin’s family Cassoulet ($60), a staple on the take-out menu, available Wednesdays through Sundays from 4-8 p.m. Although the menu changes daily, this unchanging item feeds four and includes a simple salad. Families should also consider ordering a whole ($62) or half ($42) fried chicken dinner on Sunday night. All it takes is a call to the restaurant to reserve yours for the following week (these dinners go fast so call early!). The chicken can be breaded with Le Coin’s traditional herb breading or ask for gluten-free, and it comes with potatoes, green beans and buttermilk biscuits.

Gracia

Vick P. via yelp

Turns out tacos aren’t just for Tuesdays when you order a Family Meal for pick-up (Thursdays through Saturdays, from 4-8 p.m.) from Gracia in Ballard. Mix and match from their selected entrees that include chicken enchiladas, pozole, burritos and more, plus chips, salsa, rice and beans all for just $55. Add on extras like guac, a margarita kit or mix-n-match sodas for four, and you’ve got everything you need for a weeknight fiesta. Our favorite part? That parents can add a kid’s rice, bean and cheese burrito for free.

Maggiano's

Maggiano's Little Italy via yelp

Pass around the table family meals have always been a staple at Maggiano’s, so it’s no surprise you can pick up yours curbside or have it delivered when going out isn’t an option. The Family Meal comes with a choice of pasta and salad to go with one of Maggaio’s classic chicken dishes, enough to feed four. Pair chicken marsala with fettuccine alfredo, and a tossed salad or chicken picatta with spaghetti & meatballs and a Cesar, whatever flavor combos your crew’s after. Adding on extras is easy too—bring on the tiramisu. Orders can be picked up curbside at Lincoln Square or delivered.
