Ten Minutes to Meal Time


 
Kroger Skillet Meals and Sides
 
My fridge will continually be stocked with Kroger Skillet Meals and Sides after trying the Tuscan Style Penne. Ten minutes to prepare, when it would have taken me at least two hours to create from scratch. Yet, it tasted just like the penne my friends order to go from a restaurant around the corner from work. Ten minutes, ideal quality, and budget friendly is the perfect way to describe this meal. Yum.

So my family has a wide diversity of people in it- vegetarians, world-traveled, and just plain picky. It's hard to settle on just one meal idea and make them all happy. So, when we have family gatherings, it always seems easier to make several types of things in order to please everyone. Normally I spend hours preparing multiple small dishes, but now that I know about Kroger Skillet Meals and Sides, I don't have to take the time.

For our Sunday weekly gathering, I made Tuscan-Style Penne, Sausage Rigatoni, Shrimp Lo Mein, Chicken Stir Fry, and Chicken Fajitas as the main dishes. I also prepared a few of the House Salad with Bacon kits and Classic Caesar Salad kits and a few loaves of Kroger Garlic Bread.  My family loved it. 

My cousin asked how long it took me to get it all together. I said that although I would love to take credit for making it all from scratch, it was all from Kroger. I told her that they were specifically called Kroger Skillet Meals, Fresh Selection Salad Kits, and Kroger Garlic Bread. I explained that I am a BzzAgent and received coupons to try one of each of the items for free and loved them. Now I use them at least once a week. I shared how inexpensive and fast it was to prepare everything. An aunt asked where it was in Kroger, and I explained where each type of item was located. Although they called them tacos, the kids especially liked the chicken fajitas. I especially like the Sausage Rigatoni and the Tuscan-Style Penne was the first skillet to be emptied. A few of the women joked that it sounded so easy, it would be a great thing to stock the guy’s fridge with when we take our all girls family trip in the spring.
