How great would it be if you could swing by a place on your way home after a long day and pick-up healthy, ready-to-eat meals made from locally-sourced ingredients instead of fast food with overly-processed, antibiotic-packed meat and tasteless, too-greasy fries that just aren’t going to cut it? Thankfully, in Seattle, you can come pretty close with Eat Local.

Eat Local specializes in hand-made, prepared meals using home-style cooking methods and Northwest-grown free-range meats and organic produce.

Each meal comes frozen and ready to heat - but these aren’t your average freezer meals. With menu items such as their delectable Smoked Salmon Pasta (sustainably caught wild salmon from Loki Fish Co., smoked and tossed in a creamy sauce with onion, dill, and lemon zest with handmade pasta), traditional French Coq au Vin made with PNW ingredients, melt-in-your-mouth Braised Lamb with roasted root vegetables, and popular favorite Howe Street Mac N’ Cheese with a crunchy breadcrumb topping - there are plenty of options for every appetite from simple to gourmet. Each dish is frozen immediately after preparation to maintain exceptional flavor, nutrients, and quality—with no preservatives.

You can order meals online which are shipped in dry ice to keep them frozen, or stop in to one of their shops to pick something up for lunch or dinner. They also offer a variety of other local goods and espresso drinks, so you can grab a snack to munch while you heat up your Grass-fed Beef Lasagna (made with their amazingly delicious housemade mozzarella cheese!) at home.

Plus, with their specialty hand-roasted granola, generously filled quiches, and hearty Alsatian crisp bread pizzas on the menu, you can stock your kitchen with great-tasting convenience foods for every meal, knowing you’re not only doing your body good, but supporting a local business and area farms as well. So next time you see those yellow arches, drive on by! Stop by Eat Local instead for good-for-you food that's healthy, easy, and quick to enjoy.
