Don’t have time to make dinner on a nightly basis? Whether soccer practice or homework gets in the way of preparing a meal from scratch or just a non-traditional work schedule causes you to spend more time in the drive-through than the kitchen, Simply Homemade is a meal-preparation service that makes it easy to enjoy home-cooked meals. Co-owners Linda Matthias and Jacquie Jenkins will be on hand during this open house to mingle and discuss their bright idea with those interested. Come for the food samples, sangria, door prizes and live musical entertainment and leave with a plan to sit down and share dinner with the entire family every night. 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Simply Homemade, 1500 Carlemont Rd., Suite C, Crystal Lake. Free; 815-459-3663 or simply-homemade.com.
