Banquet's Thanks a Million!

First off, in this post I am going to make a confession. Yes, yet another. I do love frozen meals. I make them and serve them to the family. I have said before and will reiterate, Betty Crocker I am not. So throw stones, raise the eyebrows, and please feel free to cluck away. But, yes, my freezer has frozen dinners in it.

My kids love to eat. Love. Like every half hour. Or every 15 minutes. And having a frozen Mac'and Cheese (or a variation thereof.)  to pull out of the freezer is just fine with me. And the kiddos.I do not serve frozen dinners all the time, of course, but I will never give up the convenience of them, that's for sure!

So when Banquet asked us to review some frozen dinners, I had no problem jumping up and down saying yes! Since all three of my kids will agree on one food, and pretty much one food only, I got the Mac and Cheese. And all three enjoyed every bite of their meals. And I again loved the ease of serving the dinners, and the very little clean up I had to do! I also added some soft rolls w/ butter, and a salad (which only my 12 year old daughter ate. Shocking that my five and three year old refused the green stuff!) and some cut up apples. Easy peasy.

What I really wanted to share about however, is that Banquet is giving away more than $1 million worth of redeemable cash prizes this February through April as part of their "Thanks A Million" promotion.Through February and March, 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. Yep-- spend a $1 on a Banquet frozen dinner meal, and maybe win $100,000 dollars! (which I'm sure you will agree should be shared with yours truly as I did share this contest with you.)
