Where to Find Prepared Thanskgiving and Holiday Food in Salt Lake City, UT

The holidays are upon us, and if you are the usual cook responsible for meals you're probably dreading it more than most. But don't worry because there is a way to have well made banquets without having to put on the spread yourself. Here are some places in Salt Lake City, Utah where you can find prepared holiday meals.

HoneyBaked Sweet Treats is all that its name implies. It can be found at 1915 E. Murray Holladay Road, and offers quite a bit of mealtime options. There are many different sandwiches and sidedishes available for take out, but the desserts are the best part. Here you can find a southern pecan pie, key lime pie, or turtle cheesecake-just to name a few. Premium platters of snakes, meats, or cheeses can come to you already made and designed for use in large holiday gatherings. You can order at the store, over the phone (801-272-5588) or through their Fax number (801-272-2761).

Another option is the Pinon Market and Café located at 2095 E 1300 S, Salt Lake City. You can get food to go that is usually sold in one-pound increments. The great part about the Pinon Market and Café is that their menu choices change daily; with this type of market you need to call ahead so that you can find out what's available on the menu on any given day. But be assured that you'll always find something savory and interesting here. They prepare just about any cuisine from Thai to Italian, and have a variety of desserts to choose from, including fine pastries. If you need some side dishes, desserts, breads, or main courses, this is the Café to visit. You can eat in the café if you like, but most people get it to go anyway to spice up their holiday meals.

And last but not least you can visit Alberstons supermarket. They are currently advertising for dinners to go. These dinners come completely cook and only need to be reheated when you need them. A classic turkey holiday dinner, which will feed about 6-8 people, is only $39.99. This includes an oven-roasted turkey with all the trimmings (i.e. mashed potatoes, vegetables, and rolls). You can upgrade your dinner to the Ultimate turkey holiday dinner for about $15 more. This meal has a larger selection of sides and desserts. If you want a Ham, rather than a turkey, you can get a complete dinner for $44.99 that will serve an 8-10 crowd. Also available is Prime Rib for $64.99, if you are looking for something less traditional to feed your family this holiday season. To order your meal to go you can stop by at the store on 1638 S 900 E and go to the deli counter. If you aren't sure if it is what you want, you can visit their self-named website and see what your options are. For those of you that don't have the time to run around before the meal, Albertsons will deliver to your door in certain cities (including Salt Lake City). There are a limited number of meals that are prepared each season, so get your order in early to ensure a stress-free holiday meal.
