Dinner kit review- Good Earth

When our local Vons closed for a remodel, everything Was 50% off and they were still honoring coupons. There were $2.00 off coupons in store for good earth dinner kits, and they were $2.00 before being 50% off. So after the coupon, I got paid to take it home, which around these parts seldom happens.

We bought the mediterranean chicken with angel hair pasta kit. I used pork tenderloin instead, since all of the chicken breasts we had were frozen like a brick.

Our over all impression was... Meh. Per the package info, it was supposed to serve 5, but, in reality, it would have served 2 dinner sized portions, maybe 3. I made extra whole wheat spaghetti to bulk it up, and added cooked green beans. I also added some parm. to the top.  Cheese makes everything better!

I don't think I would spend the $6.00 that is the usual price, but for free, it was.... Ok.  We don't eat a lot of kit dinners, I prefer to cook from scratch.  Next time we want Italian food, I'll be starting from scratch!

Cost- 5 stars (it was free)

Easy to make- 5 stars

Taste- 3 stars

portion size- 2 stars
