Ragu Mom's The Word - $20 Visa Card Giveaway


As Moms, deciding whats for dinner can be challenging sometimes.  You have so many factors in deciding what to cook.  Some kids can be very picky eaters and husbands too.  Most moms would agree that spaghetti is a meal that almost everyone will eat.  It is a favorite dish in my house and I use Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional pasta sauce to prepare it.


"Mom's the Word on Dinner," an online community from Ragú® where moms go to laugh, learn and share their take on what really happens at dinnertime. Whether you need some advice on getting your picky eater to chow down on veggies or just want to vent about last night's dinner disaster - this is the place where you can do it all!

With the help of some of the fabulous ladies of Momversation™, the Mom's the Word on Dinner community has featured various videos, photos, polls and dinner ideas with quick and easy recipes since its inception. Starting August 9th, you can tune in to the latest video and join the conversation about the compromises we make when dinner gets tough! One of the great tips you'll learn is from parenting expert and author, Dr. Michele Borba, who says "Give a little leeway. You can use compromise as a tactic to your favor, e.g.: 'Do you want to eat your spaghetti or salad first?' 'Do you want your vegetables cooked or raw?' Just offer choices that you feel comfortable with."

Giveaway:

1 Lucky Reader will win a $20 Visa Card to help prepare a great meal using Ragu sauce.

Hello! We bake our spaghetti, we pour the spaghetti sauce in the drained noodles then fold in Ricotta cheese and cover the top with mozzarella, sometimes we add pepporoni.

I would eat spaghetti 3 times a week, if my husband would let me (he likes more variety). LOL. If it is not spaghetti, then it is some type of Italian food.

Stephani said...

We probably have some type of spaghetti about twice a month. Yum!

We have something akin to spaghetti about once every week or two!

Hmm... We don't have regular spaghetti very often, but we do enjoy 3-Cheese Baked Spaghetti regularly. :)
