Stouffer's Sautés for Two review and BlogHer giveaway!

***This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for your participation!***


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



When there's a rainstorm in Los Angeles the city can basically shut down – a 20 minute drive can take over an hour.

So when I heard on the news last Friday that a late winter storm was coming our way and saw the weather looking like this in afternoon, I told my husband that instead of doing Friday night date a restaurant like planned, we should a fun date night at home and make an ordinary night a little more fun!

(For those of not from LA, this is ominous weather in our city).

I decided this would be a great night to try a new Stouffer’s Saute for Two. It’s a great gourmet meal for a couple – perfect for after a long week where you don’t have the energy to cook but still want a delicious meal.

The whole entree comes in a one bag. So simple!

To set the mood for our romantic date night at home, I set the table with our crystal wine glasses and silver chargers.

(You know, the stuff you get for wedding, but don’t use too much)

Then I decanted a bottle of our favorite cabernet sauvignon.

Then I put a Steak Gorgonzola Stouffer's Sauté on the stove. It cooked in less than 15 minutes and was so easy to make without over or under cooking it. Even a culinary novice like me couldn’t screw this up. Seriously.


It was perfectly portioned for two people.



We loved every bite! The steak, pasta, and sun-dried tomato were a perfect combo. And the creamy cheese sauce was delicious. (Warning: this was not a low calorie dinner, but it was worth it!)

We lingered at the dining room table, taking and listing to the rain fall outside, and being cozy – making an ordinary night at home extraordinary. I can’t wait to do it again!


So tell me, how do you make an ordinary night with your significant other extraordinary?

Netflix, wine and takehome pizza is our answer to a romantic night at home!

Sara said...

We sit in the dining room and use the good china and crystal. And, we might be inclined to open a better than usual bottle of wine.

We turn off the computer and our phones and just focus on each other!

I make a fire, cook dinner and then we force ourselves not to jump up after the meal to do the dishes. I just soak them in the sink, and we relax for the entire rest of the night.

Miss Sweet Tea said...

Usually our ordinary nights are the most extraordinary because there is no pressure! We put on our pajamas, watch movies, drink some wine (beer for him), and make dinner together! That's a perfect night...really, that's every night in our house!

J. said...

I make an ordinary night extraordinary by going on a walk with my husband and our doggie. My dog loves being outside so much that it always puts a smile on my face.

The Fam said...

Ordinary nights are extraordinary when you're aware of what's actually happening. Children are growing in front of you, your husband and you are growing old together - it's everything you've ever wanted - happening every day!

Katy K said...

We re-visit places where we had great dates and talk about what we did there and what we talked about...and laugh and giggle and talk about the future and where we've come and where we're going. It's almost always a hilarious yet romantic trip down memory lane. :)

Shoshanah said...

We rarely ever sit down at the table and eat together, so actually making an effort to do so definitely is a little extraordinary for us.

Amy said...

To make an ordinary night extraordinary, I usually will prepare a fancy dessert for a sweet ending. With the easy of Stouffer's help on dinner, I can have more time to make dessert and still have time to share with my loved ones. I'm love it! Thanks for a chance to win this giveaway!

Head out for a walk around the neighborhood (or through nearby parks). Hand-holding while strolling is the best.

Creating something new in the kitchen together is a fun way to spend an otherwise boring evening. We'll do 'Top Chef'-like challenge in that we'll specify a few ingredients that must be used, set a time limit, and then let our creativity guide us to a dish.

I make an ordinary night with my husband extraordinary be making up a nice basket of foods. Could be as simple as sandwiches and chips and drinks. (HOT chocolate in winter) Then even in the winter when we have a couple feet of snow we go to a picnic table that overlooks the river and forest and eat! All bundled up. It is really fun!

When we have a bit of extra time, I like to make a several course meal, and I let him pick whatever movie he wants to see. It's a treat, because I am usually the one dictating what the evening entertainment is! LOL. And I like to end the evening with a nice desert!

B. Wilson @ Windy {City} Wilsons said...

Girlfriend, you have so many blogs! Of course I didn't know about this one, but love the idea of separating from the rest.

Anyway, I want to enter. :)

Hmmm... ordinary to extraordinary?
Well, a little wine always helps. But I usually make something homemade in the midst of frozen/canned/refrigerated. Like, I'd probably make a fun veggie saute or veggie skewer with that meal. Something to add a little extra zing. I think the meal you tried would go great with asparagus (with butter, salt, pepper).

Hope you're loving your ski trip. Excited to read about it when you return.

We turn off the TV! Sounds simple, but after a long day, sometimes all you want to do is veg. I love how much better my night feels after we just talk and enjoy each other.

I have two boys, and sometimes, I let them help me plan.....decorate the table, set the table, and sometimes they even "serve us"...very fun!

Cooking a meal from scratch always makes it special! And to make sure to eat at the dinner table with the tv off.

For special times, I love dining with candle light and a nice linen table cloth...making some of my husbands favorite foods. It is also just as special, being alone and curling up on the couch together to watch a movie...with popcorn!

We usually pop open a bottle of wine with dinner and have some fancier drinks after dinner... like root beer "floats" made with whipped cream vodka. :)

My older kids are living with us temporarily (ages 30 and 24) and let me tell you, they are worse for romance than little ones cause they stay up and are not as easily entertained by a stupid dvd. So I tell them to beat it, light candles and open a bottle of our favorite wine.

A special night is when we can crawl in bed and snuggle before 11pm and have some alone time. Doesn't matter if we are watching a movie or just talking. Those moments together make it special.

We make meals special by sitting at the table and talking about our day. We have two young children so it is hard to have a romantic meal at home.

Cooking together as a family makes dinner extraordinary in my household. Especially when the weather is warm and we can all participate in the backyard family bbq dinner.

We go out on most Wednesday's without Kiddos have supper, a drink sometimes, and just talk...this way we have time for each other!

We usually enjoy some adult beverages and cook dinner together...it's even better when it's nice and we can sit on the porch!

My significant other is an 11 lbs cutie named Rex. He doesn't care much for fancy dishes or linen tablecloths. But I have a glass of wine while he licks the plate.

We love Italian food, so when we get to have a romantic dinner together, we like to have some wine and some spaghetti or homemade pizza.
