THE GOOD EARTH

Here's the deal, this dinner in a box is incredible. You literally add chicken and in 20 minutes you're transported to the best restaurant in town with a nice bottle of wine with (or without) your favorite dinner partner 'hmmmm'ing and 'ooooohhhh'ing over the amazing meal.There's a  restaurant out here called The Good Earth known for it's healthy entrĂ©es. Well, I'll be honest, I dined there once, for breakfast, upon arrival to Los Angeles and was underwhelmed. My son gave it a glowing review for the gigantic aquarium that housed a few good fish. 

 
But when I tried the DIY at home entrĂ©es,   I was hooked. This stuff delivers flavor unmatched by any other pre-packaged meals out there. I'm not proud that I've had enough off the others to compare, but this is the real deal. In the package you'll find 100% Whole Grain Angel Hair Pasta, Creamy Sauce with Olive Oil, Mediterranean Seasoning with Tomatoes, and seasoned Whole Wheat Flour. The best part is it truly is finished in 20 MINS!!!


I've also tried the Herb Crusted Chicken with Mushroom Risotto, either is a guaranteed deal maker in the romantic evening arena.   Go to the website and print a $1 coupon now.  Pin It

LUNCH MUNCH

GoodFunSimple

Amongst a growing circle of talented women in my new life here in California is a lovely lady named Rachael.  This woman is a power house, I admire her not only for her never ending supply of fresh and innovative ideas but for her drive. She sees her ideas through until the end no matter how big or small, and so far the important ones usually are inspired by her beautiful kids. 
 I had been packing my sons lunches in an array of containers and ziploc bags, and every day he'd return having hardly eaten anything, and often with apple sauce lining the bottom of his backpack. Rachael suggested the bento box from Pottery Barn Kids would help make lunch appetizing and alleviate the guilt associated with all that plastic. An awesome idea, but sold out and on back-order. So with very little online research I found Laptop Lunches.

The system is an investment at $39.99 with carrying case or $24.99 without. It's worth it for the wasteless lunch aspect alone. 
 The Pottery Barn version comes in at $14, free shipping, grab one if you can. Spencer Bento Box Containers Not only is it more fun to put lunch together, he's eating it all up! The Laptop Lunches website is a fantastic resource for lunch meal ideas as well. Pin It
