Cardenas Offering Fully Prepared Holiday Dinners
Cardenas Markets’ fully prepared holiday dinners are once more available to order. The hispanic grocer’s Cocina department has created five convenient options for up to 12 people: Turkey Dinner, Spiral Ham Dinner, Rib Dinner, Pork Leg Dinner and Almond Pork Loin Dinner.
Each meal comes with 2 pounds of mashed potatoes, 2 pounds of stuffing, 16 ounces of gravy, 12 dinner rolls and a 22-ounce pumpkin pie. Customers can choose ready-to-heat dinner packages or, for an additional charge, heated dinners.
“The holiday season centers on family, friends and amazing food,” noted Adam Salgado, Cardenas’ chief marketing officer. “Cardenas Markets is committed to providing convenient options for our customers so they can spend less time cooking and more quality time with their loved ones and friends this holiday season.”
