Stouffer's Frozen Lasagna with Meat Sauce is GREAT for an Easy Fall Meal




Who doesn't want comfort food in the fall? I know I do! Kids are back in (home)school and we are busy running here there and everywhere and I just don't have the time or energy to meal plan like I do in the summer. That on top of that fact that I want rich wholesome meals which take much preparation,

That's where Stouffer's comes in. I can always grab a few boxes of the family sized meals, and in about an hour (while I sit with the kids and play a game or relax) dinner is served. I love that the kids love almost all of the meals, their favorite being the Lasagna and the Macaroni and Cheese. I have so many memories of the Macaroni and Cheese. My mom used to be a manager of a 7-11 when I was about 8-10 years old and since I didn't have a dad, most days she worked from 3-11 so after school I would head over to her job and wait with her until she was off.

Every night for dinner we ate Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese. You know, it hasn't changed since then? Not even a bit. It tastes exactly like it did 30 years ago, and I still love it, and I love that my kids like it as much as I did and still do.

So moms, do yourself a favor this fall, pickup a few family sized Stouffer's meals and put them in the freezer, for those nights when you don't have time to make a great meal, Stouffer's will do it for you.

If you LOVE Pumpkin Spice in the Fall, Check out the NEW Kellogg's Pumpkin Spice Mini Wheats!

Kellogg's® Frosted Mini-Wheats® Pumpkin Spice Cereal
I am a sucker for all things pumpkin, anyone who knows me knows that. If it's pumpkin spice flavored, I'll ity it. When I heard Kellogg's was offering a Pumpkin Spice Mini Wheats, I knew I had to get a box ASAP. Luckily, the nice people at Kellogg's were more than happy to send me a box to try.

Frosted Mini-Wheats Pumpkin Spice cereal weaves savory spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice with hearty whole grains, for a frosted biscuit with both fiber and fun. It’s a crunchy, sweet taste of fall that will warm up those cool mornings.

Opening the box, I could smell the strong nutmeg and cinnamon...it reminded me of my PSL from Starbucks that I cannot live without in the fall. What I loved best about the new Mini Wheats is how the cold milk sinks right in and makes every bite so flavorful.

It's also recommended that you add the milk and then microwave for a warm treat, I haven't tried that yet, but it's on my list!

I definitely think if you love pumpkin spice that you will love these.
