Michael Angelo’s “Tasty Tips” Mother’s Day Giveaway – Win A Year Supply of Food! #giveaway

My daughter after her first bath - this is one of my favorite pictures of us!

The best thing about being a mother? My beautiful children. Those wet, sloppy kisses. The chubby kid arms wrapped around me in the 100th hug of the day. I love everything about being a mother.

The next best thing about being a mother? Being honored on Mother’s Day! Having someone else cook for me and take care of me for the day.

We learn almost everything from our moms, from how to apply lipstick to how to roast a Thanksgiving turkey. Michael Angelo Renna, founder and CEO of Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods, also learned everything he knows about cooking from his mom Sara, who in turn learned it from her Grandmother Foti. These Italian moms believed that the key to a great meal was the quality of ingredients that went into it.

Today, this time-honored Italian tradition has been passed down through the generations and is the cherished philosophy behind Michael Angelo’s delicious frozen Italian meals.

My own family is very food-centric. We almost always gather together for meals around a dinner table. We talk. We share. We bond even more as a family. This is what we do. We are building a family tradition and teaching our kids that family is important.

I revel in the things that I teach my children. And I often learn something from them as well.

Last night we enjoyed a meal together. One of our favorite Michael Angelo’s meal has got the be the Chicken Alfredo although the Four Cheese Lasagna is definitely a close second. We had the Chicken Alfredo last night and I even added broccoli to it. It was wonderful!

Michael Angelo’s meals are delicious, hearty and made with “the finest, high quality ingredients: 100% premium meats – fresh, never frozen; authentic Italian cheeses made using Old World methods, 100% durum wheat semolina pasta, fresh herbs and spices; fresh vegetables and specially selected, vine-ripened tomatoes.”

I especially love that they “never include artificial colors, artificial flavors, fillers, chemical preservatives or other unnatural additives in our foods.” This makes me feel good about serving it to my family.

Now you get the opportunity to serve it to you family. One lucky reader of The Divine Miss Mommy will win a year of Michael Angelo’s meals (52 family-sized vouchers, almost a $500 value)!
