Melanie Inspired Stories

You are a nurse, your husband is an engineer and you have two young children. You both work full-time so you split the cooking duties. It’s your turn and the kids made it home from day care 10 minutes after you, but it’s time to cook. The four year old is pulling on your pants as you season the chicken yelling “I’m hungry”! The seven year old has gum in her hair and is crying trying to pull it out. By the time you get the gum out of her hair and give the four year old a carrot stick you forgot what seasonings you’ve already used, so you use them all again. The rice is boiling over and there is no time to make another pot. You go to the fridge for dinner rolls to go with the meal.

Dinner time! Dad can’t eat the over seasoned chicken because of the salt content, the girls don’t like the sticky rice and the dinner rolls never made it into the oven. Kara (the seven year old) don’t like bread crust, which you also forgot to cut off. All you want to do at this table is pull your hair out.

Let’s replay this story, but this time we will add Grandma Maud’s products into the mix and see the difference.

You are a nurse, your husband is an engineer and you have two young children. You both work full-time so you split the cooking duties. It’s your turn and the kids made it home from day care 10 minutes after you, but it’s time to cook. Four year old Jessica is pulling on your pants as you season the chicken with Grandma Maud’s Southern Seasoning yelling “I’m hungry”! Seven year old Kara has gum in her hair; she’s crying trying to pull it out. By the time you get the gum out of Kara’s hair and give the Jessica a carrot stick you go back to the pots. The chicken goes into the oven because you only needed Grandma Maud’s Southern Seasoning and that is done. The water for the Grandma Maud’s Premium Red Beans and Rice Bean Meal is boiling and ready for the bean and rice mix! You go to the fridge for dinner rolls to with the meal.

Dinner time! Dad loves the chicken and praises you for the taste. The girls love the Grandma Maud’s Premium Red Beans and Rice Bean Meal and ask for seconds. Instead of regular dinner rolls you had time to make the Pillsbury crescent rolls, which was also a hit. Dinner was a success, you are your family’s kitchen hero and there is minimum mess to clean up in the kitchen! Mom, sometimes you deserve a little help in the kitchen and Grandma Maud’s is helping people prepare delicious meals, not just servings of food! Grandma Maud’s bringing families back to the dinner table!
