How supermarkets are reimagining meal prep

Most recipes offer general guidance on ingredients, but to get the nitty-gritty, I asked my friendly grocer for specific suggestions on noodles, ground beef, and spaghetti sauce.

Wade at the Greer Harris Teeter offered these friendly tidbits. “Any noodles will do, but to spice things up, mix the tomato basil sauce with the onion and garlic sauce.

We walked over to the produce section.  There, Dante suggested buying the mixed pack of ground beef, port, and veal. “This mix will give you an added punch to the flavor,” Dante said.

My 48-year-old son was in town and offered to cook dinner for his parents. So, he whipped up these ingredients, which were so good that I forgot to take a picture of the finished dish.

Fortunately, you know what spaghetti and tomato sauce look like. Besides, you can’t taste a picture. But you don’t have to take my word for it.  Try it yourself and send me a note at sources@whatsupnews.online.
