Dinner Drama at The Samples – Dinner Rescued by Seasoned Selects #dinnerdrama $25 GC Giveaway

Dinner drama is almost normal at The Samples’ residence.  I’m not sure if it is because I work FT outside of the house or if it is because my kids are so far apart in age or maybe the fact that they are boys?  Whatever the reason is there are a lot of times where I relied on Barber Foods to help solve my dinner drama.  It never fails  that at least once a week my boys or my husband will forget to take something out of the freezer to ensure it is fully defrosted by the time I get home.  I don’t know how many times our menu has changed at 6pm and I am struggling to find last minute recipes.

Dinner drama can be lots of things to lots of people.  Not only does dinner drama include the process of making dinner but it can also include the mere gathering of the family for dinner.  No matter how you define dinner drama my family encompasses it all.  Once we nail down the actual dinner finding the time to share it together becomes another whole issue.  My oldest son is always busy or off running around with friends, my husband is busy trying to get in his workout, and my youngest is never hungry.  We try to make it a rule that at least 3 times a week we all find a way to join each other at the table for a dinner.  This is getting tougher as time goes by and the kids get older.

Barber Foods rescues dinner.  Their company focuses on family and the importance of sharing meals.  They are a company that I stand behind and that I rely on to help me out when dinner becomes drama at our home.  We have not tried their newest Seasoned Selects, but plan to once they reach our grocer.  We have eaten (see above) the breaded Cordon Bleu in the past and enjoyed it, so I’m guessing we would like the Seasoned Selects even more since they are without the breading.

NEW Barber Seasoned Selects are a savory alternative to our classic Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Seasoned instead of breaded, they’re lower in calories, fat and carbs, but not in flavor. Our Cordon Bleu features smoke-flavored cooked ham, a blend of Swiss and American cheese and just the right amount of garlic, onion and other spices.

Because we are curious what your dinner drama is at your home Barber Foods and I are going to give away a $25 GC to a random reader.

    There is always dinner drama at our house! I have two boys ages 2 and 4. They are picky picky picky! One night we were having noodles for dinner. My oldest refused to eat them. We told him that they were originated from his grandma Lucy…and they are grandma Lucy’s famous noodles.
    He then went to day care the next week and they were having noodles for luch. He said he told everyone that the noodles were his grandma Lucy’s fammous noodles and he said that everyone lauged at him! Poor guy-what we do to get our children to eat!!

    My father-in-law was visiting us for ten days and on his first night here I made him lasagna, parmesan garlic toast, and cheesecake. I had completely forgotten that he hates ALL cheese, so we had to run out to KFC and get a bucket of chicken.

  103. OUr Dinner Drama is that with so many family members, someone is always disappointed.

  104. Fortunately I wasn’t here for this one…but a dinner drama story that I have to share isn’t very nice….my daughter’s step mother once through a metal fork across the table at my daughter and hit her in the mouth, chipped her tooth off all the way to the nerve, which is now dead and hurts her every day…she is awaiting a root canal simply because she thought my daughter broke the lawn mower earlier that day.

    This past winter, with getting so much snow, I missed a couple of weekends of grocery shopping. Coming home from work, I found that we had very little to put a dinner together with and everyone ended up having cereal. The kids thought it was great, but I wasn’t too happy to serve cereal for dinner.

  145. My dinner drama is dealing with a family of 4 with differing likes. My oldest loves meat but getting him to eat anything with it is a choore. The younger one likes the sides but only eats a few vegetables and is much pickier about the type of meat he eats. My husband prefers healthy fair. It is rare that I can prepare something where everyone is happy unless I become a short order cook which I refuse to do.

    I found out one afternoon around 5pm that I would be having company for dinner! I had planned on warming leftovers for hubby and me, and had to race around the kitchen to fix something to feed two more adults and two kids. I made a pot of spaghetti, because it’s the easiest thing we had all the ingredients for.

My (now) husband had to order take out…they thought it was funny…I however didn’t since I spent a pretty penny on the meat! yikes! I will never try to make that again!!!

  164. this is great!

  165. Not to long ago I made a great batch of beef stew and put it in the crockpot before I left for work, but forgot to turn it on. We had frozen pizza for dinner and I cried at having to throw out all that good food!

  166. Jennifer Marie says
  167. My dinner drama? Aside from fighting off three dogs and two cats while we are eating (we end up sending them outside during dinner most of the time), how about this:
    My 13 year old daughter STILL makes herself gag and vomit when I serve mashed potatoes. Which my husband and I happen to LOVE.

  168. There’s only one I can think of. I made mashed potatoes that collapsed, because the potatoes were water-logged.

  169. My dinner dramas aren’t too intense but it usually gets hectic on Sundays when I’m cooking for that night, cooking a couple of nights in advance, prepping breakfast and coffee, and trying to relax.

  170. My dinner drama is working, and having to rush to pick up my daughter from school from track practice. We have to rush home so she can shower and change (in about a 20 minute window of time) and then rush her back for her evening choir performance. Dinner? Needed for sure! Time? Nope, Ideas? Hah!

    Dinner Drama usually consist of “It’s too Salty” because lately, I’ve been really sensitive to salt. My daughter always says it’s perfect. So therefore I go without eating except for the side dishes.

    A few Thanksgivings ago we put the frozen turkey on a high shelf in the garage. We have a big dog who sleeps in the garage and we were sure he couldn’t reach that high shelf. Come Thanksgiving morning, we went to get the thawed turkey. On the floor of the garage were billions of pieces of plastic and a bunch of turkey bones! Our BIG dog ate the turkey! So we just had side dishes for Thanksgiving dinner! lol! 😉

  221. Dinner drama at our place isn’t near like it used to be when the kid’s were home. Then I never knew how many kids I’d be feeding. The kid’s always seemed to get “company” at meal time. I didn’t mind really – at least I knew where the kid’s were and that they all were getting fed.

  222. jessica edwards says

    just having my picky 3 yr old at the table is plenty of drama on its own

  223. i’ve fed my boyfriend raw chicken by accident before and needed a new meal asap, im a vegetarian and suck at cooking meat.

  224. Jennifer Marie says
  225. dinner drama happens all the time, recently we were having a dinner party and forgot to take things out of the freezer, so we had to change everything last minute!

  226. Cindy Merrill says

    Never try to bake anything on April 1st- especially if you have three younger brothers. I decided to make a dessert. Somebody ( this happened 20 years ago and I still can’t get one of them to fess up), switched the sugar with Salt- so the apple pie was horrendous.

  229. my dramas come from my kids who often don’t like what i prepared. so in a pinch, when he requested a lunchables, i put out crackers, cheese i folded into squares, and lunch meat i cut into circles

  230. the Grilled Sweet Potato Fries side dish looks yummy

  231. entered Kraft Product Coupons giveaway

  232. I was very upset Thanksgiving a couple of years ago when my turkey took a lot longer to cook than it should have, we had to keeps everything else warm for quite a while.

  235. made my new boyfriend dinner – and everything that could go wrong did – overcooked the beans, under cooked the meat, and got ice cream for dessert – not yet knowing he was lactose intolerant. luckily, he stuck by me…

  236. I like to experiment with dinner. I don’t usually follow recipes, I tend to toss some things in and see how it comes out. Learning from doing. There have been plenty of times where my experimenting hasn’t worked out, and i usually keep a few frozen pizzas in the freezer for emergencies! This would help me keep something better on hand in case dinner doesn’t work out!

  249. Barber Foods = YUMMY!!!

  250. A few months ago I made pizzas from scratch. I had them all rolled out and topped when I realized that I had forgotten that my oven was broken. Thinking quickly, I quartered them up and cooked them in my George Foreman 360 grill. Made a bit of a mess, but dinner was edible!

  266. There have been many occasions when I have forgotten to defrost something so that we can have dinner. I hate when it happens, and you’d think that I would learn my lesson.

  268. burnt the chicken, went with plan b order a pizza

  269. I would like to win this one!

  270. Every night I can’t work fast enough. I serve the food and before I have a chance to take a bite, the kids want drinks, different ones than I offer, then they want fruit, or it’s too hot. It goes on and on.

  279. I’m not much of a cook and recently my dh has thankfully gotten a job. Unfortunately that means its up to me and my daughter now (we get home earlier) to make dinner.

    The drama is thinking of something to make mostly. I have a hard time planning things like that.

  284. My dinner drama was when my little brother was hiding under the table at Red Lobster, came out, and accidentally startled our waitress, who promptly screamed and tossed the tray with all of our dishes on it. She was loud.

  285. My drama is that I never know what to cook. This would be a great idea for something to cook! Thanks!

  292. My drama is my super finicky husband. He doesn’t like anything but meat and potatoes, and I like variety!

  293. After working an hour at making a stew, I left it to simmer on low while I took a shower. At least I thought it was on low. I came back to find it boiling and burned to the bottom of the pan.

    My recent dinner drama was the night I planned on making tacos. While talking on the phone I added too much salt to the beef. It was inedible. I hadn’t had anything planned as a backup dinner plan. I had to go through the fridge looking for leftovers. It wasn’t a very enjoyable dinner.

  297. I’m the queen of making plans to prepare something tasty but forgetting to buy key ingredients such as starting to make spaghetti without having any spaghetti noodles on hand.

  301. The most drama filled dinner I can remember is the one I blew up as a preteen trying to help mom before she came home from work. It was for a dinner for my grandparents and mom really wanted to impress them. Oops.

  302. My dinner drama has to do with the fact that I’m not the best cook, and my hubby is a great cook. He has a culinary degree and completely knows what he’s doing in the kitchen, whereas I fumble through meal prep. The other night when he wasn’t home, I completely burned the bottom of a pan. It’s probably ruined now. It is a very expensive professional pan, so needless to say my husband wasn’t thrilled. 🙁

    My most memorable dinner drama was when I took chicken from the freezer to thaw. I placed it on my stove. The phone rang, so I went and answered it. When I came back pieces of chicken were missing. I turn around trying to figure out who took it, and there was my cat having a feast for herself. She was working on her third piece. I couldn’t believe it.

    I’ve had this happen a number of times now. Grrrr….. I’d planned leftovers for dinner (usually on one of those very busy days). Just before dinner I’d gone to the fridge to begin reheating the various leftovers only to find that hubby needed a snack earler in the day and devoured most of the “dinner”. Grrr…. I need quick to mak back-up items for these times

    According to their website, the closest place for me to buy them is Walmart
    805 Town Centre Blvd Clayton NC 27520-2179. That’s ridiculous since Raleigh is closer than Clayton, but this isn’t REMOTELY close to being correct, anyway!!! All the grocery stores near me have Barber Foods, and yet not a single store in Cary, NC was listed.

  339. The last time I tried to rush frozen bone-in chicken breast, I turned up the heat high and ended up with burned on the outside, frozen in the middle chicken….

  340. I made a fish that marinated all day, smelled wonderful, but turned out mushy. I couldn’t eat it, but my family ate it so they wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

  341. A drama at dinnertime is when everyone’s hungry and I don’t know what to make. With a $25.00 Visa gift card, I could just run out and buy dinner. Then, my dinner drama would be solved, at least for that day!

  342. reallycool31 says

    My dinner drama was the time I attempted to bake salmon and burnt it. I think we wound up ordering pizza.

    some last minute dinner drama was when i burned the french fries and chicken tenders

  344. Joanne Schultz says

    I am very fond of heating frozen dinners in the microwave. Hard to believe one can mess up there, right? Well hit the keypad to cook for 6 minutes and add an extra 0 accidentally, and you end up with a charred dinner after you realize it’s been an awfully long time without the microwave telling me dinner was done! Fortunately there’s always more frozen dinners in the freezer so I just cooked another, and was very careful setting the cooking time!

    Thanks for the giveaway!
