We did a food review at the request of some of our readers.... Lin's Marketplace located at 1930 West Sunset Blvd was awesome when it came to helping us put together a great meal at a great price. This is what one of our reviewers had to say about the Cheesy Tortellini Dish:
Importance of Spending time together as a family:
 |
| Family Dinner from 1950's |
Bonding: A typical scene from the Fifties. A family sits down to a meal and, in the absence of TVs and mobiles, talks through family issues with each other Psychologist Dr Pat Spungin, a parenting expert, said a family should aim to spend at least 20 minutes at the table to help foster meaningful conversations.
She said there were three phases to a meal, all equally important. In the first, communication is mostly practical as the cooking is finished and everyone sits down. Then comes settling in, where the family members exchange small talk.
She said there were three phases to a meal, all equally important. In the first, communication is mostly practical as the cooking is finished and everyone sits down. Then comes settling in, where the family members exchange small talk.
The final phase is "sweet talk", which Dr Spungin says is crucial to building relationships.Families need to spend significant time together to enjoy in-depth conversations and share their experiences, stories and worries.
The aroma when I walked into the house hit me strong. The meal had been cooking all day long. When I arrived home there were only a few items left that needed to be added in. It was simple to complete for my busy schedule. My husband, not normally a pasta lover, loved the taste and wanted more he even wants for me to make the meal again. My three year old who normally does not want seconds and doesn't usually eat all of his food had all of the food polished off and requested a second plate. The meal overall was delicious, easy and something that I would definitely make again and soon.
Reviewer Two Feedback:
Our family loved this dish and the idea that everything is in one bag. I never tried the Western Family brand and it was just as good if not better then some of the name brand items. Loved the value and flavors. I am hooked on this deal.
Every Monday they offer a special where you can pick up all the ingredients at a discounted price. You are given the recipe and what it takes to cook it up right. They have made it that simple. This is this Monday's dinner...
Lin's Marketplace is one of those stores that is above the rest. Not only are you treated like family, the store is clean and organized. When they say Only the Best, they go by that... Some of the great things about Lin's is that they offer custom made sandwiches in the Service Deli... All the baked goods are made on the spot, not shipped in and frozen. Their store brand is Western Family and they stand behind that brand... Something else that may be of interest to others... Over by the pharmacy they have a section of healthy food options and they have a huge offering of Gluten Free foods...
When it comes to customer service they exceed in that area... The management team of Lin's Marketplace makes it a point to be honest and treat people with respect... If you have a problem, you can talk to any of the management team and they will help you out...

- Non Profits: Lin's Marketplace offers something that many of the other stores don't. If you are a non-profit you can talk to the store and they will allow you to get the word out about what you do, fundraiser and raise awareness from the front porch...
- Pharmacy: You can trust their professional pharmacy team to provide you with the correct prescription at the right price.
- Specialty Orders: Lin's carries thousands of items to meet your needs.However, if you have a favorite product that they don't have on hand, you can typically find it in their special order section. Click the link below to try Lin's online special order service
- Online Shopping List: One little perk I like is that they offer on their website the ability to make up your shopping list... You can click on the items from the flyer, add it to your list and you can add items that aren't in the ads... I love this feature... Then I can print it up and I have what I need...

Lin's is the only place I shop at. The manager Jeff goes out of his way and has helped our group with fundraisers. They make you feel like they are happy to see you. Oh! Turkey Vouchers should be coming anytime too. I never pay for my turkey at Lin's.
ReplyDeleteI wish that they had these family meals everyday. They are simple to make. Quick and convenient. No stress involved worrying about dinner and a healthier option for my family then getting fast food.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have something like this for everyday of the week. I wouldn't have to plan out my meals, only go to the store and pick up the bag filled with the ingredients. Now if they would come to my house and cook it, that would make it invaluable.
ReplyDeleteWhen our family comes to Southern Utah we always make it a point to stop in at Lin's. What we find interesting that they don't do in our area is at Christmas time they have the best holiday open house I have ever seen in a grocery store. They rock the place. We seem to hit it every year and you wouldn't think that going to a grocery store would be the highlight of our shopping experience. We are hoping to make it once again this year. Do you know if they are going to have the holiday open house again this year and when it is?
ReplyDeleteHi David, I'm not sure when it is going to be, but I can find out for you... You can call the store and ask them and they could give you all the information. The number to the store is 435-673-4656
ReplyDeleteThey put alot into the Open House each year... I should have mentioned that in this review...
Hi David, I just got off the phone with the manger and he said the open house is on Friday, November 11th and Saturday the 12th... They will come in and post more information later for that... It's a fun time...
