It's been pouring rain for the last couple of days here, giving me a major case of the 'rainy day blues'. The last thing I want to do in a heavy torrential downpour of rain is fuss with an elaborate meal after a busy day or go out to a restaurant and brave slick roads and dangerous driving conditions. So the best solution is to have the restaurant come to me!
Literally, the restaurant came to me thanks to my friends at My Blog Spark and the new Romano's Macaroni Grill frozen entrées, I got to have an Italian Dinner at home and not have to brave the storm outside, or face the extra expenses of delivery or take out!
I was sent the Basil Parmesan Chicken entrée. Grilled white meat chicken, broccoli florets and tomatoes with cavatappi pasta tossed in a creamy basil parmesan sauce. Is your mouth watering yet?
I greatly enjoyed it. It was very easy to prepare and I was very grateful not to have to cook and deal with multiple pots and pans and a big clean up afterward or even have to go out and brave the rain storm. I will admit I did 'doctor' it just a bit, because that's just who I am in the kitchen, and I did add a bit more of my own cooked chicken to it because it was more than just me eating it, and I didn't feel it was enough chicken. And I also added just a pinch more fresh Basil to it.
This frozen entrée definitely piqued my curiosity and I plan to buy a few more and stock up so I have some on hand for those nights I don't feel like coming home and facing the kitchen after a long hard day. Read on to find out how the Restaurant can come to you too!
