Time for a giveaway!



Who loves Macaroni Grill?!?!  Well I hope you all do because MyBlogSpark has contacted me once again to host a giveaway and this time Macaroni Grill is providing the prize package!  


The winner will receive a Macaroni Grill frozen entree, serving platter and tongs!

The frozen entree we received, as will the winner, was Basil Parmesan Chicken which contains white meat chicken, broccoli, tomatoes, pasta tossed in a creamy basil parmesan sauce.  To be quite honest I was a little nervous when making it for dinner for a couple of reasons.  One, I do love basil but have experienced too strong of basil in recipes too many times that I'm always nervous to try something basil anymore.  Secondly, Brandon has a thing against vegetables so when he took one look at it, he immediately commented on the broccoli.  But once the meal was all cooked up, which was extremely easy by the way (literally toss into a skillet, pour in a little milk and let it cook away for about 15 minutes, stirring here and there), we really enjoyed it, broccoli, basil and all.  Brandon even said that it was pretty good even with the broccoli.  I could not taste strong basil at all; it was just perfect!  I do have a funny thing about meat so I picked all the chicken out but Brandon thought that it was good.  We really enjoyed it and you can't beat having dinner on the table in 15 minutes!  It says that it serves two but for our family it actually served the three of us (Jordan doesn't eat much) plus Brandon had some leftovers the next day in his lunch.  It could probably be stretched even farther if served with french bread and a salad.  Now, onto the serving platter, holy moly this is a heavy duty dish!  I was quite surprised to lift it out of the package and feel the weight of it.  I was quite impressed.  I have used it multiple times since the initial use with our Macaroni Grill frozen entree.  Same goes for the tongs, which have also gotten a lot of use!  And the tongs start at 10 inches but can be extended to 14!  

Anyway, onto how to enter the giveaway!  

The Macaroni Grill frozen entrees are available in four flavors:  Basil Parmesan Chicken, Grilled Chicken Florentine, Roasted Garlic Shrimp Scampi and Spicy Italian Sausage Pomodoro.  

To enter, please share in the comments which frozen entree you would most like to try or if none of them strike your fancy, share which Italian meal you would like to see added to the lineup. Please also leave your email address so I may contact you if you are the winner.  

The contest endsl Tuesday, Sept 7th at midnight MST.  No comments after that time will be accepted.  The winner will be announced Wednesday, Sept 8th.

Good luck!!

  12. I'd probably start with the spicy italian sausage pomodoro. I'm guessing Abi would get the basil parmesan chicken. We'd probably get them all eventually.
