Quick Meal Ideas for Busy FamiliesIf you are anything like me, you struggle with the idea of what to serve your family at mealtime. The day seems to get away from me and I look at the clock.. 5:15!!! I have not even thought of dinner. With kids' activities, housework, taking care of the animals and who can forget "work", planning meals can really be a challenge. Actually, it was a huge challenge until I became acquainted with Gourmet To Go. These food mixes are simple to prepare and only require one or two ingredients (ex. cream cheese, canned tomatoes, sour cream, or water). I always have something to make AND I now have a use for left-over food that nobody seems to want to eat. These mixes are delicious on their own when prepared as directed. I have been able to "change things up" a bit and put together my own variations on some of the popular mixes. Jambalaya (aka the PERFECT left over maker) Cheesy Potato Casserole Peanut Butter Pie I have been able to put together some quick meals for my family with these wonderful gourmet mixes. However, I can't forget to mention many of the other great ways I have been able to use Gourmet To Go. These food mixes make fantastic gifts for friends, neighbors, and teachers. Put together a few mixes (Chilly Weather Chili, Corn Fritter Hush Puppy Mix, and Spiced Apple Cake Mix) and have a perfect fall gift pack or holiday gift. At Christmas time, I like to put together a little gift bag with some of my favorite pie and dessert mixes. I get comments and questions about the products all year long! |
