My Single Mom Life

When we went shopping the other day, after making my way through the store getting the cheese, milk, cereal, bread, shampoo, body soap, the acne skin treatment for the teens, and some more ground beef, I made my way over to the frozen food section because I had brought with me a coupon for the new Stouffer's Easy Express Skillet meals.
The coupon was for $1.50 off, so I figured I would at least check out their price.
Publix had them on sale for buy 1 get 1 free, and the price was only $2.99, so with my coupon, that would make it $1.49 for 2 packages.
That's a heckuva deal, so I picked out 2 bags of the Chicken Alfredo flavor, and I cooked them up Friday night for dinner for just the 3 of us because Dustin and Stacey were unable to make it due to an emergency with his grandmother.

Anyway, I do a lot of cooking in my electric skillett year round for a few reasons.
It doesn't heat up the house, it can cook a pretty good amount of food, and it uses less electricity than the regular oven does.
I don't like using a frying pan on a burner on the regular oven, because it heats up the kitchen even though it's just a single burner, and the heat isn't distributed evenly over the pan.
Electric skillets distribute the heat evenly, are also very easy to clean too.

As for the Stouffer's Easy Express Skillet meals, the Chicken Alfredo flavor at least, was very tasty.
It had huge penne pasta, large chunks of white meat chicken, a lot of thick and creamy alfredo sauce, peas, broccoli, and carrots.

I cooked up both packages because it says right on the package that it's meant for just 2 servings, and there are 3 of us, so I dumped both packages in the skillet, (I did read the directions, that's what it said to do) and then started reading the directions again to see how much water I was supposed to add like almost every other packaged meal like this says to do, and it didn't tell me to add any water.
It didn't tell me to add anything as a matter of fact, it was so simple!
Open the package, pour contents into skillet, cook on medium-high heat with the cover on for 8 minutes stirring occasionally, and serve.
That was it, just that easy to do.
After 8 minutes, it was totally done, so I served it up by dividing the contents of the skillet between the 3 of us, giving the teens more because they can eat more than I can, and they gobbled it right up.
I'm not even sure if they actually chewed any of it.
When Mark finished, he asked if there were any leftovers, I told him no, and he was all bummed out and told me that he really liked that one, that it was better then the other chicken alfredo one that I usually buy.
Sebastian said the same thing.
I enjoyed it a lot too, the sauce was creamy and smooth, and the pasta mixed with the veggies was a good mix, so the whole meal had a very nice flavor and texture.
I would buy these again for sure, especially if Publix keeps them at a good price, even more so if I come across more coupons.
