I have to admit that I tried the Wanchai Ferry® and Macaroni Grill® Dry Dinner Kits kits this past summer and absolutely LOVED them! I buy them a couple times a month.
As a single parent, I don’t go out to eat and these truly give you the taste of having just gone out to dinner. Their motto “stay in and go all out!®” really fits these meals.
The goal for this opportunity was to create a date night and use the meal as a focal point. Well, as a single parent (who’s still married), I don’t do the dating scene.
I thought it’d be fun to have a nice sit down dinner with my boys. Unfortunately, they don’t enjoy the same foods I do. LOL Truly, I’ve tried, but when it comes to food reviews my boys opinions need to be taken with a grain of salt.
When I had the Wanchai Ferry® Orange Chicken, I was left at the table eating it on my own. Worked for me because that meant I got to eat the rest. So much for having a “date” with my boys. My youngest doesn’t “do” rice and my oldest isn’t a huge fan of chicken.
How did these children come out of my body? I digress…
Then when my oldest daughter came home I thought I’d cook a nice meal for her and myself. She said, “You know I don’t like spaghetti” in reference to the Macaroni Grill® Creamy Basil Chicken. Ugh, I told her to just trust me. I’m happy to announce we had a lovely dinner today and she ate every last bite!
So, a date. I have to be honest with you. I would totally try to pass these meals off as my own on a date if we were coming to my house. I know, I’m bad, but this stuff is good! My favorite is the Creamy Basil. It’s the one I buy most often.
Who knows, maybe one of these days, after I am divorced, I will make one of these meals and let everyone know if I really did keep the secret or if I fess up!
Now’s your chance to win a Prize Pack from Wanchai Ferry® and Macaroni Grill® Dry Dinner Kits and have a romantic dinner in the coziness of your own home.

ReplyDeleteCashew Chicken for us. My husband isn't very fond on Parmesan anything (I, on the other hand, like it very much!), so I avoid foods that call for that ingredient in any great quantity. So, yes, the Cashew Chicken.
