THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
For several years now, Ben and I have made it a point to set aside at least one evening per week to spend together on a date night. We usually always go to The Cheesecake Factory because we just love it there but on occasion we'll head to other restaurants for a change of scenery.
To be honest, I've never really considered eating in to be something of a date night. I'm not sure why that is but our date nights have always consisted of going out. So when a few weeks ago I was offered the opportunity through MyBlogSpark to try a date night in I decided to give it a try!
I was given a fun prize pack consisting of two delicious dinners to try out at home along with a $30 Visa gift card to help add to the ambiance of a date night at home!
The first meal kit I received was Wanchai Ferry's Orange Chicken and that's what I decided to make first. All I needed to add to it was some chicken breasts which was taken care of with my gift card!
While this orange chicken doesn't have the taste as the one at The Cheesecake Factory (which I love!) it was actually really really good! I was also happily surprised at how incredibly easy it was to prepare. To go along with our date night, I purchased with my gift card some sparkling apple cider, candles for the table and a pretty red table cloth. I would have taken a picture if the battery in my camera hadn't died! Honestly, I'm horrible with remembering to charge it even when it's practically screaming at me to do so! I was really bummed about that!
For the second meal kit, I'm setting aside another date night in to give that one a try so I'll be sure to post about that when we do it!
So now, I was given the opportunity to offer up a second prize pack to one of you!! How would you like to have a date night in with your significant other for free? Well here's your chance to!
Your prize pack will include:
One Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken meal kit
One Macaroni Grill meal kit

ReplyDeleteWe dated long distance, so we love to argue about what our first date was (now mind you, Mike had already told me he loved me and wanted to marry me before we had our first "real" in person date- even though we had spent lots of time together before when we were just friends.) Mike says going to a movie. I kept telling him he had to make our first date "good" and I wouldn't let him call anything a date until we did something really fun! And now all I can remember are all the times of me saying, "This isn't a date, this isn't a date."
ReplyDeleteWe went bowling for our first date.
ReplyDeleteThey just opened a new AMC movie theater by us that serves a full restaurant menu during the movie - I can't wait to try that out!

ReplyDeleteWe worked together, so after work one evening we went on a romantic drive together and parked and watched the stars with some sparkling cider (I was 19!).
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy building a nice campfire in the backyard after the kids go to bed when we plan an at home date night.
