Winning at Dinner on the Busiest Night of the Week

April 21, 2016 · by Tiffany Merritt ·

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson® . The opinions and text are all mine.

Which night of the week is the one where you are most likely to dial it in or drive-thru to handle dinner? Since my kiddos aren’t in a structured after-school activity at the moment (I know…I’m such a rebel) it varies from week to week, but there’s always, and I do mean ALWAYS at least one night where time gets away from us and I find myself panicking about dinner when I realize that everyone’s hungry and all my meat is frozen. Fortunately, there is a solution!

I have a new favorite item that I like to pick up at Publix. Have you seen the Tyson ® Meal Kits? Here’s what they look like and where I found mine, in the ready to cook section of the fresh meat case:

These meal kits are honestly one of the best things I’ve found in the grocery store lately, and they come together quickly enough that I can prepare them faster than I can get to my nearest fast food restaurant and back. And it tastes a heck of a lot better, too.

Tyson Meal Kits offer a one-stop solution for a super quick meal your family will love. They have a really nice selection of flavors, too!

  • Beef & Cheddar Melt
  • Beef Marinara Penne
  • Home-style Beef Stroganoff
  • Beef Skillet Lasagna
  • Creamy Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo
  • 3 Cheese Chicken Carbonara

​We especially love the 3 Cheese Chicken Carbonara because it’s a really quick way to enjoy the flavors we love so much in this Italian-inspired family favorite (our own recipe takes about 45 minutes to put together!).

The kit comes with fully cooked pasta (no boiling required!) and the chicken, I was delighted to discover, is already cut into thin slices, which really helps make the cooking process lightning fast. I used my kitchen shears to quickly cut the thin strips of meat into bite-sized pieces after it was cooked. Then you simply need to add your pasta noodles and your sauce back into the skillet to warm up. I sprinkled a little parsley on top because I learned long ago that a sprinkle of fresh herbs can make anything look fancy. 🙂 All done!

The day I prepared and photographed this meal, I very unexpectedly had both of my girls home sick with Strep Throat. I made this for our lunch because I had absolutely no plan for the girls; they normally eat at school! I was delighted by how easy and fast it was. It had a generous amount of food included (it was intended to serve 5) so we had plenty of leftovers for dinner, which was even easier than lunch because I just used the microwave!

If you find yourself hitting the panic button on dinner plans and yielding to take out more often than you would like, get over to Publix and pick up a Tyson Meal Kit. FYI, there will be a $2 off promotion running from 5/5-5/11, so definitely don’t miss that! I’m trying the Beef Marinara Penne next. What will you try first?
