Blog Anniversary Party: Stouffer's VIP Coupons (5 Winners) (Closed)

Just for the Blog Anniversary Party, my friend Julie at Stouffer's rounded up a big batch of prizes! That prompted me to take a look around the Stouffer's website and see what's new.

I knew that Stouffer's made lasagna, but I didn't know about their line of EASY EXPRESS meals, most of which serve two to four people.  Some of these are ready to be popped into the microwave oven, and some are skillet meals, but all are quick to prepare.  I'm a fan of anything with Alfredo sauce, so I'd have to try the EASY EXPRESS Skillets Chicken Alfredo.

Another new product line is the Toasted Sub. These are single-serving packages which promise Bakery Fresh Taste in Minutes.  I'd have to try the Philly style Steak & Cheese, partly because they made it without mushrooms (the right way to serve a steak sandwich!) and partly because it looks so gooey and delicious:

While I was there, I started reading about Stouffer's Let's Fix Dinner campaign, through which they're encouraging families to eat dinner together as often as possible.  I'm all about that, anyway, but here are some statistics on how it can help our kids:

Studies show that kids who eat 5 or more family meals a week are:

• more likely to get As and Bs in school
• more likely to think their parents are proud of them
• more than 50% less likely to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or try marijuana
• less likely to feel depressed or suicidal

Pretty compelling reasons, right? Stouffer's is even offering prizes to families who take the Let's Fix Dinner Challenge. What more incentive do you need? :)
