Ignite the Night with P.F. Chang’s Frozen Meals!

“Hotter than the A list…”

A few weeks back, I was contacted by the makers of P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Meals to see if I wanted to “ignite my night” with their new meals for two. I must admit I was skeptical at first – the adult movie sounding tag line wasn’t really convincing me to switch out my usual dinners from the Whole Foods salad bar – but then I thought, “Why not? It’s time to mix it up a bit (and maybe, as PF Chang would say, ignite the night ;)!”

And what did I think? Surprisingly tasty! Let’s be real here – at $9 a bag, this ain’t no Ad Hoc at Home, but this was definitely much better than the standard cardboard-y frozen meal (remember Kid Cuisine? – yeah I try to forget too). Out of the eight flavors, I recommend the Orange Chicken – the chicken pieces were nice and tender and I liked the addition of the crispy water chestnuts and edamame. But the best part? The meals are super easy to prepare – just throw in a non-stick pan, sauté for 10 minutes and volia! – dinner is served!

As someone who grew up with my mom’s authentic and homemade Chinese cooking, I usually don’t eat a ton of Americanized Chinese food. But I’ll be the first to admit that I do have cravings for this “Chinglish” cuisine once in a while – and I’ll know just where to turn when the next craving strikes!
