With two children, two cats, a husband, and myself in a house everything is a chore. Every day we have something else going on especially since Baby E has been so sick lately. It makes getting dinner ready a total pain. I admit we have had sandwiches at least two nights of the last two weeks because I just didn’t have time or didn’t feel like cooking after all the errands, breathing treatments, medicines, and chores we have to do when everyone gets home. So when I was asked recently to create a special weeknight dinner, I was worried I could not come through.
I should not have worried because Bertolli came through for me. Bertolli Frozen Meal Soups are so easy to make and super cheap! I chose the Roasted Chicken & Rotini Pasta flavor and within minutes of it being on the stove, my husband was in the kitchen asking me when it would be done. I literally spent less than 30 minutes on dinner. While I spruced up the kitchen and made some crescent rolls and a quick salad to go with dinner, the soup was simmering on the stove. I wanted to make up for not doing as much lately so I also made some quick blueberry muffins for dessert (they were a mix but trust me, I can make some to die for homemade blueberry muffins when I have time and energy). Not only did I do that but I also fully set the table for the first time this month. Usually I just hand out utensils as I hand out plates but I was going to do this right. I would have even brought out the nice bowls but my husband reminded me that we lost one to an ‘accident’ the last time and they don’t make that design anymore so we better not. Isn’t he a keeper?

That is what is so awesome about Bertolli Frozen Meal Soups. It only takes a few minutes to cook and it is hearty and delicious. I was able to do all that other stuff and still have a great meal that everyone liked and still be able to spend time with the family. I know a ton of moms who are going to love this especially on basketball practice nights or Cub Scout nights where you don’t have time to do a lot for dinner but you don’t want to miss out on that amazing family time that comes with a good sit down dinner.
