Hello readers and may we apologize for our lack of recent blog entries. While there is always time for dates, sometimes with the busy lives we live its hard to get a chance to write them down to share with all your keen eyes! Again, we apologize and will try to update more frequently! (we also have several other dates to share!)
This is actually a common idea that most people have shared with us, but really its simplified. Many people are in agreement that sometimes they enjoy staying in with their significant other on a Friday or Saturday night, and leaving the hustle and bustle to everyone else. Sometimes winding down with a nice dinner and a bottle of wine at home is more than enough couples to keep that spark in their realationship fresh. But lets face it, not everybody can cook, or enjoys it. Luckily Sunterra Market takes all the hard work out of the cooking for you, yet leaving you with an incredibly satisfying meal. For those who don't know Sunterra Market is a small community style grocrey store, which excels in fresh prepared ala carte, fresh meats, and organic fruits, dairy etc. while still supplying household essintals of canned and dry goods. In among all this, Sunterra prepares ready to go meals for two every Friday night to the tune of $30.00 total. Included with our meal was fresh made roasted red pepper soup, a HUGE mixed green salad with balsamic curry dressing, 2 LARGE portions of chicken pot pie, and two apple crisp desserts. All prepared fresh in store. All the work you have to do is heat and eat while you're sipping on a glass of fine red. Check out the Sunterra Market Website for more information on what they offer and locations across both Calgary and Edmonton! www.sunterramarket.com
Craig's Review:
I feel like I am bias towards this date review, mostly because I LOVE roasted red pepper soup and I LOVE chicken pot pie. I have only ever been to Sunterra off Elbow Drive in Britannia once before, and it was a rather quick visit, so I don't have much to say about the store itself (Katie was the front runner on this one) but the food was very delicious, and quite generously portioned. It was nice for Katie and myself to enjoy a good meal in the comfort of her own condo instead of in a busy restaurant on a Friday night. The one thing I like about this as well is that you don't have to be a good cook to enjoy a good fresh prepared meal. Considering its dinner for two, with the food quality and portion size is well worth the price of $15 per head. One disadvantage is Sunterra Market is limited in its locations throughout the city, or the world. Not every city has a Sunterra Market so the prepped meal may be hard to come by for other daters if this is what they are looking for. However, maybe try other local markets and see what they have to offer!

Katie's Review:
I loved this date. The food was great and I thought it was a great idea for staying home without doing much work by cooking. The part I like most was that we had no idea what we were going to get. I would highly recommend not looking at the website prior to picking up your dinner. It's a fun surprise.
If you're not a fan of the unknown then check out the menu in advance. They post several weeks at a time. You could even pick your favourite meal and work your date around that.
