Though I try to provide homemade meals for my children on a daily basis, I am not going to lie and say that I always manage to accomplish that every day. There are some days when we are just to busy for me to find the time to prepare a tasty, well-balanced meal from scratch. And so, on days like those, I turn to prepared foods. Something I can grab and toss in a skillet, the crock pot or the oven with minimal preparation and still enjoy a meal together as a family.I was recently introduced to Banquet home-style meals and I cannot wait to try them. It took us a while to find them in stores, there is only one in town that carries them. Our store carried three different varieties, but there are so many more! We haven't gotten the chance to try them yet, simply because I gave up meat for lent this year and all of their meals include meat. It would be nice to see a couple of offerings for vegetarian meals, but other than that, the selection looks wonderful!As a way of saying "Thanks a Million" to their loyal customers over all these years, Banquet is giving away more than $1 million worth of redeemable cash prizes this February through April. Beginning February 8, look for Banquet frozen dinner meals with the "Thanks a Million" logo on the box. Each of these specially-marked packages will contain a special game piece, either one of over 16,000 redeemable cash prizes worth anywhere from $10 to $100,000, or a Banquet coupon. What's better than that? A quick dinner on the table in minutes and a chance to find the equivalent of the "Willy Wonka" golden ticket! I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
