Thanks to to people at General Mills and MyBlogSpark, I was able to finally sample the new Romano’s Macaroni Grill Entrees! Last night we had the opportunity to try the Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken Pasta dish and my notorious family of picky eaters gobbled it up! Preparation was simple; the only thing I needed to add was chicken and a little bit of butter and milk!
There are also 3 more coupons for a free box so I can try the other flavors: Garlic & Herb Chicken Penne, Chicken Alfredo with Linguine and Chicken Marsala with Linguine. Also included in the gift basket was a pasta spoon, a cheese grater and a nice-sized colander!

My biggest struggle is finding the time to make dinner. My one year old is very needy around that time of day!
My biggest struggle is figuring out what to do with my 2 1/2 year old and 9 month old while I cook. They seem to always get into trouble if I’m not paying close attention!

My biggest struggle is trying to keep my four young children occupied while I’m cooking. I have a 5 year old, a 3 year old, a 2 year old (in full blown “terrible two” stage), and a 5 month old. Can we say BUSY?

My biggest struggle is trying to find something creative to make with food other than just chicken and ground beef
Time is the toughest part about getting dinner ready. We get home about 5:20, and my son’s bedtime routine starts at 7:00. An hour and 40 minutes for him to have a bath, for us to prepare dinner, eat dinner, and hopefully have a little time to play together.

Thanks for the giveaway!
Our biggest struggle is coming up with new menu ideas. We are sooo tired of eating the same old things each week, but we can’t seem to find new recipes we like that are quick/easy to make.
By 5:00, I’m running on empty, so it’s a real struggle to try and throw something new together every evening. That’s where these dinners are a life-saver!
Thanks for the Coupon
one of my biggest struggles i have found when cooking is that my boyfriend’s little girls are quite picky eaters. They enjoy pasta but after so many days of it, i’m tired and would like to have some variety. I don’t want to cook two separate meals and i don’t want the kids to waste the food i do cook. I’ve seen that i’ve gotten into a rut with food and need new ideas to help find things that the kids will eat.
My biggest challenge is finding new recipes and new things to feed them. Meal planning is not my forte

My biggest struggle with dinner is time. I never seem to have enough to get everything done.
I get your feed.
My biggest struggle is to plan ahead.
Not knowing how to cook meats. Thanks!
I struggle with finding time during the day to get dinner prepared. It seems like dinner time just sneaks up on you.
My biggest struggle used to be figuring out what to make at 4:30pm. Now that I meal plan for the week I feel so much less dinnertime stress. My other struggle is entertaining my 18 month old twins long enough to make dinner. We do lots of crockpot meals!
My biggest struggle is find something quick, nutritious and easy.
Great giveaway!

My biggest problem preparing dinner occurs on the nights life throws unexpected curve balls at us. I’ve been trying hard to avoid ordering out and I found my biggest problem occured on nights when things didn’t quite work out how I had planned like one of the kids getting sick or getting stuck late at work.
I run out of things to make! I love to come up with new recipes, but I sometimes have trouble finding something different and tasty.
my biggest struggle is my lopsided schedule… four 12-hour+ work days in a row then three off to menu plan and cook. for those four days I need to have everything divided into tupperware to grab and go. also, I don’t own a colander!
my biggest struggle is feeding my super hungry husband!
My biggest struggle in preparing dinner for my family is the constant juggling of life with a busy 18-month old, working full-time, attending graduate school part-time, keeping up with my house, and supporting my work-aholic husband’s schedule (working 50-60 hours a week and attending college part-time). Whew! Just writing it makes me tired….
I come home every evening from teaching a room full of very active first graders totally exhausted! The best nights are when we have left-overs. Then we’re sure to get a real meal. Other nights I can barely get a meal together. Think it’s my age… I’ve been teaching those little ones for 33 years now. I try to find easy and delicious things to make – hubby is rather picky, and often my grown son “drops by” at dinner time for a visit. I’d love to try Romano’s Macaroni Grill entrees. It’s my favorite restaurant, and the flavors you mentioned are making my mouth water…
My biggest struggle is finding a variety of foods that everyone will eat. My husband will not eat seafood-my son and I love it. My kids won’t eat soups or some of the casseroles I like to make, which my husband and I love.
Finding the time AND finding something that everyone likes (while keeping it healthy!) There’s usually some compromise in at least one of these areas…

Mac enter–My biggest struggle is finding time to make myself healthy (hitting the gym) and finding time to get healthy dinner on the table. I know I can feed my kids the usual kids food and they will gobble it down. However, I like to control what goes into our mouths and bellies. So, I spend extra time to make simple things even healthier.
Just doing it…the energy, the lack of want to.
My biggest struggle is cooking something special for my son with milk, egg, and peanut allergies. I am always making two meals.
My biggest struggle is deciding what to cook Night after Night after night after night! I have been married for 25 years and to add to the problem, I am a vegetarian and Hubby is a Carnivore! That is still a problem after all these years!
We have a picky daughter and Lord Knows I am at my whits end! Give me a Menu or let them eat Cereal! I love to cook but Lord if they are gonna be finicky Let ‘em eat Cake!

my biggest challenge is finding something that EVERYONE will like… i dont know how i ended up with such picky eaters!!!
I just have a hard time figuring out what to eat and make. I like any new ideas and I love to cook, I just need an idea to start.
My struggle is when I don’t plan ahead, and then everything falls apart. If I plan, we eat at home. If I don’t it’s money out the window.
