Momma was home all day, every day, attending to the family's needs- we were her 'job' as she lightheartedly called it. Even so, the demands on her time were ample with the balancing of her multiple doctor's appointments and my own extracurricular activities. Since Pop worked as a traveling technician his hours varied and we seldom knew if we would see him in time for dinner on a weeknight. While the vast majority of our dinners were home cooked, or make ahead portions from Momma's own kitchen, she sometime had to rely on frozen goods to get her through a bind when the schedule unexpectedly changed.
Regardless, Momma was always sure to inject a little extra love into all she served. She always plated frozen entrees, to make them more palatable, and filling. Did you know that we eat heavily with our eyes, and when portions appear bigger we feel fuller quicker? She also always added at least one homemade side to the mix, whether it was some canned corn with fresh garlic and parsley, or her famous garlic bread.
Momma's Garlic Parmesan Bread recipe was a simple one, which took less than 10 minutes, and could easily be made in the time it took to heat 2 frozen entrees. While the type of bread varied, she usually had a Sourdough or French roll in the bread box on the counter for such emergency occasions. She also always had, in the pantry or fridge, a jar of Alfredo sauce- the secret ingredient to her delicious side.
I love Momma's Garlic Parmesan Bread recipe for it's flavor and simplicity; it's so easy I've
You can buy single-serve Healthy Choice, Marie Callender's and Bertolli meals and desserts for $1.49 each when you buy any SIX! These prices are so low you can stock your freezer for the entire Summer- I know I've already filled our stockpile in the garage! The wide range of health minded entrees in the Healthy Choice range, and the delicious home-style inspired selection of Marie Callender's entrees make for a great variety to satisfy the entire family. I was especially excited to see the newer Bertolli single serve entrees and desserts in this promotion, so I could indulge on a dime, too!
We don't eat frozen meals every day- but I'm always glad to have them on hand when we need them, it certainly beats skipping a meal due to lack of time! The best thing about frozen entrees is that they won't go bad- so hurry on over to Kroger stores, such as my local Ralphs, and take advantage of this amazing frozen must buy deal before it goes away on May 19th! Oh, and I almost forgot, you can print Momma's super simple, and delicious, Garlic Parmesan Bread recipe here. Now, tell me, how do you dress up a quick meal in a pinch?
What Daughter Says: Stock up on your favorite frozen entrees and serve Momma's Garlic Parmesan Bread the next time you're in a bind for time!
I always have these in my freezer. They taste amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have never had one Bertolli or Marie Callendar item that I didn't love. And those chocolate cakes, I mean come on, those are Wedding shower worthy! Loving your garlic recipe to go with that.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that is an amazing sale. I love to have some frozen meals available for the nights when the hubby is not home 'cause I don't tend to cook for myself. I love Marie Callendar's. Your momma's bread recipe looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe were just discussing tonight that we haven't had garlic bread in a long time. Your Parmesan version looks even better!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great sale! You can't beat $6.00 for a two person meal. Thanks for the garlic bread recipe, too. That is fancy!
ReplyDeleteI really need to take a look at the ingredients when I get groceries, next week. I try to avoid prepared meals because of all the extra ingredients, but this is a really good deal, and we're trying to find ways to tighten our belts financially without resorting to the same food every day (rice, rice, beans, more rice). This might be a nice once a week thing.
ReplyDeleteI love keeping frozen meals like this on hand. there are some nights that are just crazy.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm headed to Kroger. You can't beat that deal! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh man, you always make the yummiest stuff! That cheese bread looks wicked good and is similar to what I try to make my family to "beef" up meals!
ReplyDeleteThat cake - I NEED it! And the bread recipe sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love frozen meals- but such a good idea to put it on a plate and add a side! That bread looks SOO good! And so simple!
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks delicious.... I could eat a whole loaf, hehe!
ReplyDeleteThis Garlic Parmesan Bread recipe is so simple, and looks good too. I just love garlic flavours in my every dish. I am going to try this recipe. You know when I went to Chicago wedding venues last week for my party, I ordered garlic flavoured foods only.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog loaded with so many information. Stopping by your blog helped me to get what I was looking for. Greatpeople me
