Meal Planning Made Easy with Blount's Family Kitchen

As Back to School is getting closer, I’m feeling my anxiety start to increase daily. This year will surely look different with distance learning on our schedule. How will I balance the learning? How will I balance my own work? How will I balance the household chores? On a non-pandemic day, I dread figuring out what’s for dinner. Now I have three kids home, a husband working from home, teaching them and entertaining them all day long-dinner is the last thing I want to think about!  

I’m already organizing my thoughts on how dinner is going to go.  We’re going to have to have at least two to three nights a week that I’m not cooking. I need to take the pressure off myself a little bit and know there are a couple of nights per week that I don’t have to think about what’s for dinner.  

One night a week will definitely be reserved for Blount’s Family Kitchen refrigerated meals. These meals are not frozen and are made with fresh, quality ingredients and ready in just THREE minutes. They create home-style meals that we all crave but don’t always have the time to cook. They come in a great variety of options: 

  • Beef Stroganoff with Noodles: Tender stew beef in a decadent sour cream sauce with egg noodles.
  • Macaroni and Beef in Tomato Sauce: A classic American comfort dish with ground beef and elbow macaroni in a chunky tomato sauce. (Previously American Chop Suey)
  • Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo with Penne: White meat chicken and broccoli with penne pasta in a parmesan-garlic alfredo sauce.
  • Chicken with Noodles in Marsala Wine Sauce: White meat chicken and penne pasta in savory mushroom sauce with sweet Marsala wine.
  • Chicken with Noodles: White meat chicken and noodles in a hearty sauce with sweet peas and carrots

Our personal favorite is the Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo with Penne and my kids CHOW down on the Macaroni and Beef in Tomato Sauce! They are made in small batches and taste just like they were made with love in your own kitchen. 

Blount’s Family Kitchen is a 5th generation, family-owned business based in New England.  Quality is Blount’s highest priority and their highly-trained culinary staff and nutritionists continuously experiment with the highest quality ingredients to create intensely satisfying dishes. 

Our activities will look a little different this fall.  We won’t be running from activity to activity each evening.  But we’ll sure be worn out from teaching and working all day.  Blount’s Family Kitchen will be on regular rotation weekly in our meal plan!  They are a great choice and you can grab them right from the refrigerated deli section at Food Lion today!
