Our Picnic Dinner with Stouffer’s Satisfying Skillets

As you all know, we just moved. Needless to say, there have been a lot of pizza and fast food dinners going on in our house recently. It’s so hard to prepare meals when you don’t have anything unpacked. I barely got the kitchen boxes emptied and our dining room table set up yesterday!

I missed not having a WalMart nearby when we lived in Santa Cruz. Three years ago, I never would have dreamed that I would say those words! But it’s true, I missed it. The Santa Maria WalMart has a new grocery addition, where Linens-n-Things used to be. It is so bright and new, and was empty when I went shopping at 8 PM! Matt & I put the girls down to bed and decided to have our own little picnic dinner in our new house. We got crazy and even busted out some sparkling cider! It was fun to toast to this new chapter in our lives, talk, laugh, & eat a simple meal uninterrupted.I was impressed with the food! When I thought of Stouffer’s before, I thought of squishy lasagna and single-serve freezer meals. These are different. They are in the frozen section, but in a bag. You just have to place it in the pan on medium for 8 minutes then stir, then cook 10 more minutes stirring frequently (there is also a microwave option). I thought they tasted fresh and flavorful, and were perfect for us. Each package serves 2, so we had more than enough food with leftovers for lunch. These would be a welcome meal for a new mom, busy family, or new neighbors!
