Pasta Night Gift Baskets Giveaway


GIVEAWAY SATURDAY
*** Thank you to so many of you for entering! It was great to see that everyone struggles with getting dinner on the table. Random.org selected comments #346, 112, and 51 as the winners. Congrats to Nanana, Laura, and Bridget3420! ***

I am normally a pretty big cooking snob when it comes to mixes and prepared foods. I just prefer to make my own sauces and put my own dishes together. But I do like to have some quality mixes on hand for when life gets too crazy.

When I received this box of Macaroni Grill creamy basil angel hair pasta to review, I opened my pantry and tucked it away. I didn't think about it again until I was ransacking the fridge and pantry at 8PM a few weeks ago trying to come up with a good side to have with shrimp. I grabbed the box on a whim, whipped it up in fifteen minutes, and was sorely tempted to pass off the final product as my own creation when Steve devoured it.

I've since replaced that sample box with a few more in my pantry... just in case.

Today for giveaway I have three "What's for Dinner" Macaroni Grill Restaurant Classics at Home gift baskets. Each winner will receive a box of Creamy Basil Angel Hair chicken to try along with some great cooking utensils to make their dinner: a colander, a spatula, and a slotted spoon. I received the same gift basket and the three utensils were so nice that they made the "decluttering" cut to keep in our kitchen for our last month at home before the big move.

To enter to win, just leave me a comment here by Friday, May 29 with your biggest struggle when cooking dinner for your family. I'll select the three winners at random that night. As usual, you can get extra chances to win by:
  1. Linking to this contest on your blog.
  2. Subscribing to my feeds for Chefdruck Musings.
  3. subscribing to my feed for Chefdruck Reviews.
  4. You can also Tweet about it for an extra entry.
Please make sure to leave me separate comments for extra chance to win.

My biggest struggle is definitely buying the right amount of food; I usually get too much and it goes to waste.

Developing menus that have variety with many of the same basic ingredients. After years of cooking it hard to come up with something my family hasn't tasted and really likes. Especially summer meals when everybody's appetite is light because of the heat. Me I can do a huge fruit salad and call it a meal but they look at me like I've lost my mind...like where's the beef?

The hardest thing for me is to make everyone happy. I have a picky 5 year old and I want her to get all of her nutrients. I am very proud that she does love brussel sprouts and asparagus. We just had her try one every time I cooked them and now she loves them too.

I love to cook, but my biggest challenge is getting it done with a child who likes to "help".
