Simple Dinner Time Solutions

Simple Cooking for my family…

If you know me, you know that I like to cook, but I like to keep it simple. The whole Semi-Homemade trend is so my style. I’ve got a big bunch of family living with me right now- {4 adults, 3 kids, and 5 dogs- it’s a full house!}– and we all have crazy schedules, with tons of coming and going- so I think it’s so important to gather everyone up at least once a day, and eat dinner together. Good thing I have a HUGE dining room table, right?

Cooking for such a big bunch, on a budget, is a challenge. Finding something that they ALL like is sometimes an even bigger challenge! But one thing that everyone does always agree on is pasta. ANY pasta is a hit. So when the awesome ladies from The Motherhood asked me to try out the new Marie Callender’s Three Meat and Four Cheese Lasagna, you bet your buttons I said yes!

The problem with lasagna…

Remember when I said I like simple meals? Well, putting together a homemade lasagna is NOT a simple meal. It’s super time-consuming, and {for me at least!} it’s super-messy! But we looove lasagna. So of course, I’ve tried a bunch of different frozen lasagnas- and there are some that are good, but….

How do you ever get them to cook right?? You know what I’m talking about- If we cook them in the oven, it takes for-ev-er. We check it after the stated cooking time- but there are always still frozen spots. So we cook it longer. And then they end up with burnt edges. The boys will NOT eat any piece that is burned or hard- they won’t even allow it on their plate. *Sigh*

What makes Marie Callender’s NEW Bakes different…

The new Bakes from Marie Callender’s -there are a bunch of other great varieties too- check ’em out- are different than other frozen lasagnas- And what makes them so cool is that they have a brand new type of baking tray that guarantees you won’t get burnt edges or frozen spots! They’re so good that Marie Callender’s even puts a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE on every package.

Making Family Dinners Simple and Delicious…

A picture is worth a thousand words…

But since the Three Meat and Four Cheese Lasagna got eaten too fast for me to get pic’s, I’ll have to tell you about it. But I’ll try to keep it under a thousand words :) The three meats are pepperoni, sausage, and beef- love the addition of the pepperoni! Then they add 3 great Italian cheeses- ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano. The meats and cheeses, combined with perfectly cooked noodles and a great zesty sauce, are just perfection. This is, honestly, the best frozen lasagna that we’ve ever had- for reals. {Or whatever term kids use these days to mean that they’re super serious. I’m over 30 now, so I’m getting outdated…} We paired the lasagna with a great salad, and this AMAZING Gorgonzola Garlic Bread from one of my favorite food bloggers- Plain Chicken! So yummy.

A few more quick facts:

  • You can buy these in 2 sizes- either the single serve (19oz) or a family size multi-serve (31oz).
  • These cook right in the microwave, in only 19 minutes- which is waaaay faster than anyone else!
  • NPD says more people are eating frozen lasagna than homemade these days- and Marie Callender’s Three Meat and Four Cheese Lasagna is preferred over Stouffer’s 19 oz. Lasagna with Meat & Sauce by consumers two to one in taste tests!

So, what are you waiting for?

Check out the great coupons on MarieCallendersMeals.com, print ’em out, and head to your favorite grocery store to put together a great-tasting, easy to make, dinner for YOUR family tonight!

{Marie Callender’s and The Motherhood provided me with a sample to review and I will be compensated for my time. Even so, my opinions about the awesomeness of this lasagna are honestly shared.}

Learn How to Save 75% off Household Products- Without Clipping Coupons!

Have you heard of Yaysave Yet?

I kind of consider myself the master of freebies and deals, {check out my profile on Cheap Sally to vote for me as a savings-master…} and am always shocked to learn that there is something that I DON’T know about yet!! {Lol, but only kind of…} So of course I was surprised to learn about Yaysave yesterday— It is amazing, and I don’t know how I didn’t hear about this sooner!

Yaysave Basics:

Here are the main points you need to know about why Yaysave rocks my socks-

  • Yaysave helps you save on your “everyday” type of items. Prices up to 75% less than Amazon, Walmart, Soap.com, Drugstore.com, and Alice.com. And since you KNOW that those sites have awesome deals, you realize quickly how great the prices are at Yaysave.
  • They show you right on the site how the prices compare to other sites, so you can be sure you’re getting a great deal. Example: Luv’s Diapers, $7.99, 37% less than Diapers.com.
  • They are PayPal certified, so you know that your information is safe.
  • They have two great ways to use their service, depending on your needs- You can upgrade to the paid membership {SOOO worth it, and that’s what I did} or get a basic membership for FREE!!

Difference between the Memberships:

  • The basic free account is great if you just want to try out the site, but I could tell right away that I’ll be using this a TON, so I wasted NO TIME in upgrading to the Premium Membership.
  • Usually the Premium Membership is $29.99 per year, but right now {and I have NO idea how long it will last} it’s only $19.99 to join.

Here’s what you get:

  • All accounts get FREE Shipping on orders $100 bucks or more. PREMIUM Members get FREE Shipping on ALL purchases.
  • Everyone saves on products- 10-70% off other sites prices. But the PREMIUM Membership gets you an additional 2-15% off on many products, on top of the low prices, as a bonus.
  • Everyone gets their products shipped in 1-2 days. But the PREMIUM Members get it shipped FREE every time.
  • AND… One of the coolest parts- Yaysave has partnered with another great frugal-freebie site, so you get 500 BONUS FREE Swagbucks when you join as a premium member!! Since 500 Swagbucks is enough to get a $5 Amazon gift card {with 50 points left over!} that makes your paid membership even cheaper!!! And my friends tell me that they do special promo’s pretty often, where you get bonus Swagbucks with purchase. And you know I LOVE me some Swagbucks!

Love it, right?

You are guaranteed to find the lowest prices, since you can see the price comparisons right on the screen. If you sign up as a premium member, you’ll get bonus discounts on top of those savings. You can get FREE shipping, and it’s lightning fast.

Even if you only sign up for the FREE Yaysave membership right now, you’ll still be saving… It’s just a few lines to fill out, and BAM, you’re in, and can start checking out the sweet deals. So it’s easy to see more, and decide if upgrading is the right choice for you too.

This is how I’m using it:

I’ll check it out a couple times per week, and just check for items at a rock bottom price. When I find one, I’ll order a few, if I know we’ll use them. Since I have the FREE SHIPPING with the PREMIUM Membership, I can order just one item if that’s all I find, and it’s still free to ship. That way, I can slowly build a new stockpile of household items, at a SUPER discounted price. Plus, you can sign up at a site like Deals.com to get alerts sent to you with new Yaysave Coupon Codes, to save even MORE.

To get started, sign up for Swagbucks if you haven’t already, so you get your bonus points. Then head over to Yaysave and get YOUR Premium Account today too!

Are YOU using Yaysave?

I’d love to hear any great tips to using this site, or info that you have. Like I said, I’m a brand new member… And I like to know the best tricks to maximizing my savings on any site that I use!

Be sure to use the social buttons to share this with your friends, because remember….

Friends don’t let friends pay full price!

How this FREE Post-it Sample Helps Shattered-Brain-Syndrome…

Get a Super Sticky Notes Sample from Post-it!

I. Love. Post-it’s. And today you can get a sample of a cool new style by filling out a request here- Free Post-it Request.

I might even be addicted to Post-it’s…. My brain is so scattered, and runs a million miles an hour all of the time. And I’ve learned that having a baby just takes what little focus I had, and shatters it into a million more pieces.

Example of Shattered-Brain-Syndrome:

Ok, I’m going to write this review now. Let me see, where is the email with the information I need…. “Hey, Abby, don’t eat that quarter!” Ok, where was I? Right, find the email… “But Auntie Meagan, that’s MY quarter Abby was trying to eat!!” – “It’s ok honey, she didn’t eat it.” – “But now it’s SLOOOOOBERY!!!” – *Ignore the cries of a 4 year old over his slobbered on quarter* Back to work. Found the email. Write a couple lines. Hear more crying- surely not still over the quarter still? Nephew runs in with a lump on his head. Ask questions. Remind him- “How many times have I told you no doing front flips on the bunk beds??” then wonder, why is this something that even comes up so frequently Back to work… See my baby sharing her sippy cup with the dog. Again. Decide that this is ok, she is learning to share, and that’s a good thing right? Back to work…

You can see why I need Post-it’s…

Every time I get a thought that needs to be remembered, it goes on a Post-it, and is placed where I’ll need to remember it!

Does anyone else have Shattered-Brain-Syndrome too?

It’s not always CAUSED by children, but I am completely sure that they are a major risk factor….

{And, get $12 in additional coupons on the Post-it site: Post-it.com, and more back-to-school coupons by loading them from Cellfire directly onto your store cards.}
