Marie Callender's Time to Savor Kit Review (and Giveaway)

November is a very busy time of year for our family. Not only do we have Thanksgiving and are busy preparing for Christmas, but My husband has a busier schedule at work, both my kids have birthdays, and of course, the everyday tasks of being a mom, keeping up on the blog, etc. It's a fun-filled time...but there are those days when I am exhausted by the time dinner rolls around and find myself wishing there was a way I could snap my fingers and have a great meal on the table. Thanks to Marie Callender's it can be almost that simple!

Marie Callender's understands how busy life can get and that sometimes it's hard to slow down and take the time to enjoy the small things. That's why they offer a great selection of dinner options that are delicious and make you feel good.

I couldn't have been happier when I learned that Marie Callender's wanted to send us a special Time to Savor Kit! It included:

• Coupons for Marie Callender's Baked Meals, Fresh Flavor Steamer Entrees and Pies
• Samples of Marie Callender's Fresh Mixers
• Beautiful Green Table Cloth
• Three-month Netflix Gift Card

The thought of being able to sit back, relax and indulge in a delicious meal while spending quality time with my family was a wonderful one and the kit couldn't have arrived at a better time of year for us!

Marie Callender's provides a new Baked Meals line, which offers meals to share in about 15 minutes. The meals contain a new microwavable tray so that the food is heated evenly. We used our free coupon for any one Marie Callender's Bakes and got the Lasagna. I had a feeling this was something the whole family would enjoy, and I was right! I decided to make this on a night when my husband was running late from work. We were all hungry when he got home, and after a long day we thought this would be a great supper. Although I expected it to be good, I didn't know it would be this good! I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't taste like a meal you buy in the frozen isle of a store. It tasted more homemade and was really good! It also made plenty for all four of us to enjoy. Other than the delicious meal, it was great that clean up was such a cinch!
I can't wait to try other flavors, like the Creamy Chicken Alfredo with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Southwestern Style Chipotle Chicken Bake, and Scalloped Potates & Ham in a Creamy Swiss Cheese Sauce! Yum!

I've also tried Marie Callender's Fresh Mixer Classic Stroganoff and thought it was very good as well. The Fresh Mixers deliver convenient meals that store easily in a pantry or desk with no refrigeration or freezing required. With premium ingredients like whole beef strips, authentic cheeses, and savory herb and spice blends...it definitely makes for a delicious meal.

I have not tried the Fresh Flavor Steamer Entrees, but am excited to do so. They include varieties inspired from favorite Mexican, Asian and American cuisines that I know our family would really enjoy.

I have been very impressed with the Marie Callender's products we've tried. I've really enjoyed being able to spend less time in the ktichen some nights and more time with my family...while still being able to enjoy a yummy meal. Every once in a while it's a nice treat to not have to spend a lot of time on a meal or cleaning up afterward.
