This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Stouffer's.

This giveaway has ended, thanks for entering!

When Stouffer's offered to send us a sample of their new Sautes for Two, we were kind of excited. Obviously we love to cook, but sometimes when we've got a half dozen projects going on at once, dinner time can get just a wee bit stressful. What? You want me to put down the paint brush and cook dinner?

The most stressful day of the week for us is always Friday. It's my busiest work day; I usually have to be at my desk extra early just to be able to finish work at a reasonable hour. When S gets home for work he's ready to take the weekend by storm, but I'm usually not done with work, we're both starving and it just makes getting excited for the weekend's projects a drag. So a couple of weeks ago we decided to make Friday night special (and a whole lot less stressful) by treating ourselves to Stouffer's Grilled Chicken & Asiago Tortelloni Sautes for Two.

The meal was tasty and definitely better than the cheese and crackers I usually resort to when I'm starving and just don't have the time to cook. To make things a little healthier we used about a third of the sauce, which was packaged in a separate pouch making adjusting the "sauciness" level a cinch. I topped it with a little fresh parmesan and paired it with a green salad. Delicious.

I wish I could say that we ate at the dining room table while admiring the new paint on our walls and trim, but we didn't. We sat in front of S's laptop and researched windows and basement contractors.

Some people save for years for a great vacation, we save for home improvements, so sharing a meal while checking out windows was our version of a special night.

Now it's your turn; leave us a comment telling us how you make an ordinary night extraordinary for a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card from BlogHer. I promise we won't judge you if you don't use it for home improvements!
