CLOSED. Giveaway: Good Earth Restaurant Favorites

By

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

The winner was Kari.

I have to tell you right off the bat that this is in no way an unbiased review. I worked at the Good Earth restaurants when I was 17 and it always brings back such lovely memories, I am very partial to their products. Especially the tea which is my favorite.

Anyway, I was very happy to check out the new restaurant favorites meal kits which should be hitting supermarket shelves in the next few weeks. The kit we received was Mediterranean chicken and included whole grain pasta, creamy sauce, seasoning, and you just add the chicken.

I was thinking this would be dry and taste cardboardy for some reason and we were surprised that is was actually pretty tasty. The pasta came out well and the sauce was nice and rich. We actually added a few extras to the pasta to jazz it up a little more- like sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese but you can easily serve it on its own.

Overall I think this is terribly convenient and these are very easy kits for people with smaller families especially.

If you want to check out the Good Earth Restaurant Favorites as well, you can! I have a complete kit available with a recycled tote bag, bamboo serving pieces and one of the entrees.

    My first job was vacuuming at a local bookstore. I was about 12 years old and would always find myself spending *extra* time vacuuming around the Agatha Christie mysteries (looking at titles and later purchasing many of them). Haha. Good times!

    My very first jobs was at a donut shop. I don’t know if it really counts since I got paid with donuts. I was a kid who really loved donuts.!!! As for a real job with an actual paycheck, I’m actually still there. I really enjoy my job, especially the people I work with. They rock!!!!

    My very first job was going door to door selling garden seeds. I loved that job.. I was a whole 8 years old I think I was always doing something for money.. babysitting, selling lemonaide, or anything else I could.
    I also worked in a BBQ Beef Sandwich (trailer) shop one Spring Break on South Padre Island when I was about 10..(almost 40 years ago)
    My dad & his partners owned it.. We ran it. That was alot of fun and before SPI became the tourist trap that it is today.

    I worked at a gift store when I was 14 that my parent’s friends owned. This was in the ’80s when spin art was really in and I got to make t-shirts and run the stuff-a-balloon machine. It was such a unique and fun job!
