My mom’s dog turned five today, and we got a few friends and
family together for a little party. I had some Christmas shopping to do today, so
I didn’t have much time to cook the dinner. Thank goodness for Kroger Skillet
Meals and Sides. I made a couple bags of chicken fajitas, chopped some
cilantro, and onions and tomatoes for pico.
Of course we couldn’t feed the dogs fajitas, so they got some special gourmet
food for dinner.
What do you say when you’re boyfriend tells you, in front of
everyone, that it’s the best meal you made all week. And, I’m thinking, this is
the only meal I didn’t make from scratch this week. Easier is sometimes better!
Luckily, I’m not a bashful person and I had no problem giving him a hit on the
arm.
I told him, as well as the rest of the table, that I couldn’t
take credit for the meal. I explained that I am a BzzAgent and received coupons
to try Kroger Skillet Meals for free and loved them, so I stocked up. Everyone
got a laugh out of the experience, but I think most importantly, they got a
full tummy.
One of our friends commented that she makes fajitas from scratch
all the time, but that she actually liked the Kroger fajitas better than her
own. My mom liked that I made homemade
pico and added fresh cilantro. She said that it is fun to take something and
add your own twist to it. My cousin added that she really loved the chicken in
it. I was happy to share that to buy the fajita ingredients separately probably
would have cost more than the Kroger meal itself, and that it only took ten
minutes to prepare.
I love sharing deals and ideas with family and friends. When
it comes to me, I know I am much more likely to trust a friend or family member’s
opinion than a commercial. I think other people are like that too. With the
short amount of time these meals take to prepare, sharing such a secret can
help others to free up their time to enjoy other things in life too- like
spending time with loved ones.
