Welcome to DIY Day! Are you ready to share your latest project and maybe win a fabulous prize?
This week, we have a fabulous prize that’s going to make your mouth water! And you DON’T have to link up to win! So make sure you read the “How to win” section!
Today’s prize is coming to us from my friend, Jen at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. If you know Jen, then you know that she is the Queen of Frugal Living…and with 5 kids to feed, she’s become an expert at feeding them well on a tight budget.
For several years, Jen has been a distributor for Homemade Gourmet. In her own words, “After years of staring in the fridge with everyone asking “what’s for dinner,” I have found the answer! 4 MEALS IN 4 MINUTES.” The prep work for these meals is lightning fast. Then they go into your freezer for you to grill, bake or slow cook any day of the week!
One of Jen’s passions is showing you how to get a delicious, healthy dinner on the table fast, so you can have more time to share with your family. Jen has a great vlog on her blog (say that 5x fast) that will get you thinking about easy ways to meal plan.
I know that Jen would never claim to have all together, but she inspires me to be more purposeful in my homemaking and in how I spend the time with my family. And dinnertime is one of the most important times of the day. So I’m thrilled that Jen is offering a Homemade Gourmet assortment that includes 4 meal mixes, a side dish mix and a dessert! YUM!
Each recipe mix comes with a recipe plan and shopping list. It couldn’t be easier! The meals, sides, desserts, and appetizers can be whipped up in minutes and are DELISH!
So how can you win? There are a couple of ways…
- Visit this post at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam for some quick mealtime ideas, then come back here and leave me a comment telling me which meal on her menu sounds delish to you.
- Link up a post to DIY Day!
Easy, right? And you can do both for 2 entries!
Now let’s see those projects! Please…
- Include a description of your DIY project when you link up . This helps people browse the HUGE number of projects. And you get MORE clicks!
- Link to your specific post, not the main page of your blog. I HATE having to delete these. It makes me feel like a big meanie.
- Link to this party from your post so everyone can get in on the fun.

mandy, http://www.craftedition.blogspot.com
I love the Parmigiana Chicken or the Italian Mozzarella Meaballs. Of course, I love Homemade Gourmet so I really like them all. I haven’t bought it in a long time though.
Several sounded good…like the apple walnut porkchops. I have some pork chops in my freezer, I might need to try that!
The Chipotle Chicken with Chipotle Orange Sauce sounds like an amazing combo! What a fun giveaway!!!

oooh, the chicken ceaser salad sounds good and is super easy!!!
They all sound great. Was courious about these products, it would be great to win and be able to try them out. Thanks-
I’m intrigued by the one-skillet pasta dish. Less dishes to wash AND dinner is made? Sold!
Joining your linky party for the first time since I do quite a few projects. Glad to have found you and am adding myself as a follower. Wow, you have a lot of participants!
What great ideas! The Chipotle Chicken sounds yummy.
Hi Kimba!
I love your blog! Thank-you for hosting this party–and all the effort it takes to do so.
I am so happy to be a part of it today!
love, kelee
I am all about the spaghetti and meatballs…that sounds awesome! This is a great idea!
pecan porkchops -but all the foods sound wonderful –This happens to be the hrdest part of our budget to control -by eating out or wasting food that we forget we have in the refrigerator.
The taco soup sounded interesting to me as we love soup and tacos.
Jen is great. I love my Mom’s taco soup but never have all the ingredients to make it! ….must plan meals, must plan meals, must plan meals…:-) Homemade Gourmet sounds great and I think I had some dip of theirs years ago – either way it was really good!
The recipe for Cinnamon Apples looks wonderful!
Hi Kimba,
Thanks so much for hosting this week!

The Chicken Breasts with Chipotle Orange Sauce sounds delicious!
I think either the Italian Mozzarella Meatballs or Homemade Spaghetti Sauce. As much as I like Italian food, I don’t prepare it often enough – haven’t found the right go-to recipes.
I’ve had a thing for bbq lately, so bbq on a bun sounds wonderful! Great giveaway!!!
