Macaroni Grill Review and Giveaway

When I was out of town for a couple weeks I bought my husband a bunch of frozen meals so that he would have to resort to eating out for two weeks straight. (Although he probably wouldn't mind as much as our wallets). I bought things like lasagnas, perogies, pizzas, stir fry mixes, etc. One delicious meal that we actually ate before I left was a meal provided by Macaroni Grill's new Frozen Entrees. First I have to say, I don't usually eat frozen meals for a few reasons: 1 - they always say they "serve two" but my husband and I go hungry. 2 - they don't contain as meany veggies as the packaging shows. 3 - they usually aren't that tasty.

But since we were able to try this one out - we would totally buy it again. We had plenty of food for the two of us and extra for Lou. Plus, it had plenty of veggies (if I was being even more lazy I probably wouldn't have made that salad). The meal was quite tasty. I was very impressed. It was their Basil Parmesan Chicken. Mmm.

Well, Lucky ducks - one of you gets to try one of their meals out too! They will send you a Macaroni Grill prize pack that includes one frozen sample of the Grilled Chicken Florentine variety, in addition to a serving bowl and pasta tongs (Which I happen to love - covered ends so they don't scratch your pans! Hallelujah!) Sorry young readers - you must be at least 18 or older (have your mom submit for you!)

Product Review: ePicnicBaskets

As I said in the last post, today is National Picnic Day! So I hope you are all planning on having a picnic. If it is stormy where you are, lay a picnic blanket in the family room and sit on the floor. Your kids will probably eat more because it is a fun environment!
ePicnicBaskets sent me this basket a few weeks ago and we were so excited when the weather got warmer. The first day possible, I packed up dinner and we headed out the door!

This basket was perfect. It held all our food with plenty of extra room. For dinner I packed declicious hoagie sandwiches (if I do say so myself), oranges, and a Picnic-Friendly Potato Salad. I love that the basket comes with silverware, plates, and a salt a pepper set. That way we don't have to use paper and be a little harder on the environment. If even comes with those adorable napkins. I can't wait to use this with my husband for a romantic date up in the canyon this summer.

ePicnicBaskets have a great selection of traditional baskets, picnic backpacks (great for summer hikes) and tons of other cool picnic accessories - check them out!
