Wanchai Ferry & Macaroni Grill Boxed Dinner Review and Giveaway

Who doesn't have trouble coming up with something to cook for dinner?  Seriously.  Is there anyone out there that finds making a family dinner easy and exciting day after day after day?  Nope.  I didn't think so.

I am most certainly guilty of the last-minute fast food run because I don't have anything planned for dinner.  And while we're coming clean I guess I should admit that cereal for dinner is a weekly event in my house.  That's why I was really excited when I was contacted by MyBlogSpark about trying out some delicious dinner kits.  Wanchai Ferry & Macaroni Grill have made it super easy to make a homecooked meal in a short amount of time without shopping for a million different ingredients that you can't even locate in the supermarket.


These handy, affordable dinner kits allow anyone to enjoy an Asian escape with Wanchai Ferry restaurant-inspired dishes by simply adding your own protein to delicious entrees like Cashew Chicken, Spicy Garlic Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Kung Pao Chicken. Or perhaps you are more in the mood for a tasty Italian meal, in which case you might want to whip up one of the Macaroni Grill favorites such as Chicken Piccata and Angel Hair Pasta, Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta, Chicken Alfredo with Linguine, Garlic & Herb Chicken Penne, and Chicken Marsala with Linguine.



These kits are a great way to have a special meal at home and create a "date night" atmosphere without going anywhere at all!  I've personally tried several of the kits and our favorites include Orange Chicken and the Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta.


Want to try these to make an easy dinner for your family?  Great!  Wanchai Ferry & Macaroni Grill are giving away a prize pack containing 2 dinner kits and a $25 Visa Gift Card to one of my special readers!
