Fresh & Easy Saves the Day!

This week is maybe the busiest week of my entire summer.  We had all the end-of-the-year assemblies and ceremonies at the beginning of the week and Girls Camp on the back end.  I have been spreading myself pretty thin trying to get everything done.  It was like an answer to my prayers when I was given the opportunity to shop at Fresh & Easy and try out some of their delicious family-friendly meals.

I have shopped at Fresh & Easy before so I knew what a treat this was and I was really excited to share it with all of you.  Brent, however, had never been inside Fresh & Easy before.  {How is that possible?!}  We took a while to just browse the store and check out all the goods.  We were looking for something to feed our family for dinner that evening, but it was hard to decide what to get because everything looked SO GOOD!  And {to beat a dead horse} FRESH!  And EASY!

The first thing that caught Brent's eye {and has always been one of my favorite things about Fresh & Easy} was the packaging.  The design is simple and clean, making the food inside the star of the show.  I love their 98 cent produce packs.  Absolutely perfect!

Here's what we finally decided on for our easy family dinner:

This pasta salad was so yummy.  The little balls of fresh mozzarella cheese and grape tomatoes were delicious.

Rotisserie Chicken with Mac & Cheese.  This is one of the family-size Kitchen To-Go meals in the refrigerated section.  {We must have been craving carbs!}  There were huge chunks of rotisserie chicken on top, but the bacon in the mac & cheese was what made the dish.  Can you believe that this only takes 7 minutes in the microwave to prepare?  Better yet, these meals are all made without artificial colors or flavors, added trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup.

We also got some Carnitas to make burritos and the Cheese Tortellini Kitchen To-Go meal with a side of Garlic Cheese bread for a couple other dinners.  {This week the garlic bread was free with the purchase of a family size meal.  Can't beat that!}  Our kids loved everything we bought, but their favorites were the mango lemonade and the mixed berry cheesecake.  Not together.  

I can't wait to get home from camp and make homemade pizzas with the Whole Wheat and Garlic & Herb pizza dough we also picked up while we were there.  I'm telling ya' -- we really had trouble deciding on just one thing!  Luckily the prices are so reasonable that you don't have to settle on just one thing.  PLUS, here's a great printable coupon for $5 off of a $20 purchase so you can try a bunch of their delicious meals, too.

Let's face it -- we're all busy and it's HOT outside!  I would do just about anything to not turn on the oven for the next several months.  Fresh & Easy is going to save my summer!
