Romano's Macaroni Grill Giveaway!

Have you been to a Romano's Macaroni Grill? I have and I love their food. Actually, I love Italian food in general. Did you know that they are now making their food available for you to make at home!

Romano's Macaroni Grill and BlogSpark sent me a box to try. They sent me the Creamy Basil flavor as shown above. I am a fan of easy meals and can say that I have tried a great number of different brands. Most of them are really high in calories and saturated fat. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this one wasn't! It only had 1g of Saturated fat!

There were quite a few different packets for the different ingredients which is good in my opinion. This helps preserve the freshness. I had to make 1lb of chicken breast, boil the noodle packet, add milk and the seasoning packet to the chicken, add the sauce packet and sundried tomatoes packet, mix the noodles with the rest & top it with the grated parmesan packet. The taste was wonderful when it was all done. Not to mention my house smelled fabulous! Serve it with some garlic toast and there you have a wonderful tasting dinner for your family of 4!

Now for the best part, Romano's & BlogSpark would like to give 3 of my readers a chance to try the products. The picture below is what I received: Romano's dinner kit box to make, a cheese grater, a colander and 3 coupons for FREE Romano's dinner kit!

Double Coupon Days at Kmart

Kmart is again offering Super Double MFG Days!

Every coupon up to $.75 will be doubled. (Some stores are reportedly doubling all the way up to $4 MFG like last time. I would suspect this glitch will be fixed but it is worth a shot!)
