This giveaway has ended. You can check out the winners here.
Quick, easy, and tasty. I don’t buy these boxed pasta dinners often but I do like to have at least one in the pantry for a quick meal. Normally I buy the store brand because it’s the cheapest but if these Macaroni Grill kits were competitive price-wise (sale and coupon combined) I’d be interested in buying it again.
Manufacturer’s description: The dinner kits include everything needed to create a high-quality meal in one box including premium ingredients such as such as vine-ripened tomatoes, select cooking wines, specialty herbs and 100% semolina pasta. All you have to do is add one pound of chicken or your choice of proteins such as shrimp or Italian sausage. Varieties of Romano’s Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites dinner kits include Garlic & Herb Chicken Penne, Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta, Chicken Alfredo with Linguine and Chicken Marsala with Linguine.
Three readers will win a What’s For Dinner? Gift Basket courtesy of Romano’s Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites and myblogspark.com. The basket contains a sample of Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken Pasta variety, three coupons for you to try the other varieties the next time you visit your local grocer, a colander, serving spoon and cheese grater.

My biggest struggle of preparing dinner, is figuring out what we’re having.

My biggest struggle is having really picky kids and a husband who eats his own diet food.
My struggle is finding something healthy that everyone will eat.
One of my biggest struggles with making dinner is the mess it leaves behind! We don’t have a dishwasher so it can be overwhelming to see the amount of dishes that need cleaning after working so hard on dinner. Thankfully my husband is willing to help!

The biggest challenge is trying to find new easy recipes so I don’t make the same stuff over and over.
My Biggest Dinner Struggle with Dinner time is figuring out what to make. I’m a vegetarian and Hubby eats meat and still after 25 years we cannot “meat” a common ground… but its gettin’ better! hahha

If someone would just give me a Menu that EVERYONE would eat, I would FIX ANYTHING!!!

My biggest struggle is having enough time to cook dinner. I never know what time I’m going to get out of work so it’s often a rush to get something on the table.
My biggest struggle is coming up with different meals each week and not just serving the same old things

at the moment my biggest struggle is 24 hour a day morning sickness that prevents me from even thinking about cooking without wanting to puke. Add to that a husband whose most successful culinary skills include boxed mac ‘n cheese and take-out… and we’ve got a recipe for disaster over here.

I tutor after school, so it’s hard to get dinner started. I either have to start it earlier in the day, or have something around for my husband to prepare.
Making sure it’s healthy, the kids will eat it fairly well, and it takes less than an hour to prepare.
Thanks for the chance,

My biggist struggle with making dinner is notto trip over a dog or have the dogs fight. Also having to find which kid is suppose to set the table.merebear@cfl.r.com
My biggest struggle is time. After picking the kids up from school and getting them happy, I usually have about 45 minutes to get it all together.
My biggest battle is such a silly thing…I am constantly forgetting to thaw the meat. I hate thawing it in the microwave but have to nearly half the time.
My biggest struggle is planning ahead..I always get caught in…”let’s have this, oh wait, we don’t have that ingredient…”
Deciding what to make is the biggest challenge. Sigh. My poor husband; come 5 PM I’m always IM’ing him at work… “so what should we have tonight?” Really organized of me, huh? I really need to learn how to menu plan! And have quick and easy fallback meals!
The hardest part for me has to be trying to make healthy dinners using what we already have in the fridge.

My biggest struggle is having the time to fix a good nutritious meal.
