The last few weeks have been extremely stressful. From work deadlines to blogging campaigns, sick kids and a house that's a mess, I was thinking I needed a break. Zach and I had planned a date night but our sitter canceled at the last minute so we had to improvise on what we could do and what we had in our house. I wanted to make it somewhat special because we haven't been able to spend too much time alone the last few weeks so I proposed a few things for us to set up a date night in ( and that was budget friendly ! ).
The first thing I thought of was needing to have a few minutes to set everything up for just the two of us. Zach offered to bathe both kids, read a few books and put them to bed while I got to work downstairs. #Winning! I set the table but not just with ordinary utensils and plates-- I found our wedding china to make it a little more elegant. Add a few candles and voila, a romantic setting just for two!
Since I didn't have a lot of time to figure out what to prepare for dinner, I needed something that I knew we both would enjoy and could help us out in a time crunch! Tai Pei Frozen Foods to the rescue! Often times when I think of a "quick meal" like this, I realize that it probably isn't going to be the healthiest of meals. Tai Pei actually uses pure and no preservatives which include great tasting entrees with each single serving!
While I grabbed a Tai Pei out of our freezer, I loved that I could just put it in the microwave for a few minutes thanks to their new packaging. Tai Pei Asian Food entrees has a variety of choices made with flavor-infused rice such as Beef and Broccoli, Chicken Fried Rice and Orange Chicken.
Once the entree was heated up, I place them on our plates, lit the candles and poured a glass of wine for us to enjoy. I forgot how nice it was to enjoy just a delicious meal in the comfort of our own home after a busy day. Although we adore being parents, it's important to us to find time along ( which we end up chatting about the kids still ha ) and stay connected.
We loved the idea of enjoying an easy meal in our home! The best part is you can save $1 using the coupon here. Don't forget to check out more information about these yummy meals and how you can plan a fun, easy and delicious date night dinner in minutes
