This contest has ended and a winner was chosen! Thank you and be sure to enter our latest contests!
All of my regular readers know how much I love menu planning, but it’s not every day that I get to feature a review and giveaway for a company that helps you create and plan great meals! So when Mary Lou contacted me and told me that she is a consultant with Homemade Gourmet I was intrigued. Then she asked if she could sponsor a giveaway for all of you and I was ecstatic!
Before we get to the contest I would like to tell you a little bit more about Mary Lou and the wonderful company she’s part of! Here’s a little bit of my interview with her:
Could you tell us a little bit about Homemade Gourmet?
Homemade is a meal solutions company, not just a food company. We are unlike other companies because we offer more then just ‘party food’. We also have a 100% guarantee all of our products! Dinner time can be stressful without the right tools or planning….Homemade Gourmet is the solution!
I LOVE the 4 Meals in 4 Minutes idea! Could you share a little more information about that?
It’s a quick and easy, value packed collection that allows you to make as few as 4 great tasting meals in 4 quick minutes or as many as 40 plus meals to stock your freezer! Comes complete with FOUR Homemade Gourmet® Pantry Staples containing enough seasoning for 40 – 50 meals depending on the recipes chosen. Each Pantry Staple contains:
~ A sturdy plastic container with easy snap lid for storage
~ Package of bulk seasoning
~ Handy scoop for either one or two tablespoons
~ 15 recipe cards with ideas for entrees, side dishes and appetizers
~ individual mixes allowing for 4 meals and 4 bonus meals
~ 7 side dish mixes
~ Meal Planner detailing recipes and menu ideas and complete Grocery List!
Wow! That’s incredible! What a huge help for busy moms who really need to throw together a quick meal during the week!
Before we go, would you mind telling me a little bit about why you joined Homemade Gourmet?
I joined Homemade Gourmet in October of 2003 after attending a Home Show. I ordered a few mixes and I was hooked! Everything I tried was so yummy and so fast to make! I was looking through my catalog to place a reorder and realized I wanted to try everything! That’s when I knew I had to sign up as a distributor. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would join any type of a home-party business. Homemade Gourmet was different. Everyone has to eat. Plus I would get a great discount on my personal use and maybe make some money on the side.
Four years later and I still love Homemade Gourmet and I love what I do because it allows me to show others how to save time and money! It’s such a heartwarming feeling when busy Moms tell me how much I have helped their family!

I’d never heard of this company and enjoyed looking around their site. I would probably go for the entree sampler if I was shopping today– those all look like meals my family would enjoy. Some of those soup mixes look great, too!
The RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE sounds SO yummy! What a neat concept…I’d love to give them a try! Thanks for such a great and useful giveaway!
are those pics of her food because if they are IM SOLD!
Hello, Thanks for another great contest. I have not heard of this wonderful company! The “side
dishes” sound like what our family would need. That is one of the most difficult items to find where every family member agrees. Much appreciation…..Cindi
I’m not sure if this draw is open to Canadians but just in case it is… I LOVE the 4 meals in 4 minutes! What an AMAZINGLY good idea.
We love deserts here, the basic cheesecake sounds particularly appealing. I enjoyed looking at the site,I had never heard of this before.
Everything sounds delicous, but I’d love to try the Southwest Chicken Strips. Thanks for the great contests.
i have seen this some place befor and well it looks realy goog to me as it did then please enter me in to the contest
I love the 4 meals in 4 min collection. I love to cook a home made meal ever night, and the nights that I am too busy to cook I love to have something home made in the freezer, I have never tried this company, I plan on having a party soon, but I think this is what I would go for if I were to buy something.
First time I’ve heard about this company – all the products look great and I had a hard time picking a favorite. For the contest I’ll say it is the spinach dip, although several of the pantry staples collections were in the running for a favorite!
This is the first that I have heard of this company, but their products look great. Thanks.
I have NEVER seen this and I love it! I really do. I am a mother of 6 and there are 8 of us eating every night (well.. the baby isn’t but, she does eat whatever I eat.) Making dinner fast, tasty, healthy and different is always a task, and making enough for 8 people can get tough as well. Most of her meals feed 8 people. That is sooo wonderful! I can’t tell you how much I love it.
I also have a best friend who is due in July, and one of the things I was planning on doing for her baby shower was to have people pick a day, put a calender in the room, and have them all bring her a frozen dish that she can put in her freezer that day. Then she will have a freezer full of food, and not have to worry about cooking for a while. These meals are the BEST for that. I can do it fast and simple for her.
I will have to say my favorite is the Spaghetti Sauce mix kit. “Homemade” Spaghetti Sauce??? My kids would love me forever!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Warm Blessings
I would love to give this a try the 4 meals in 4 minutes is a very interesting idea. Thanks for one more amazing contest! YAY!
ok so I would love to try any of the chicken dishes. Sounds amazing!
The Soup Sampler and the Snuggle Up With Stew bundle both sound really good! Thanks.
The Black Bean Salsa mix sounds great!
So many choices, but I would have to go with the Tiramisu Cheesecake. YUMMY! Thanks for the chance to win!

What a great idea! I like this idea!! The products that I thought were interesting were: bacon cheeseburger meatloaf mix, garlic lemon seasoning, white chocolate cranorange cookie mix, and strawberry bread mix. Neat mixes!
Oooo, I actually love to bake and cook. The Homemade Gourmet is new to me and she sure has lots of things I really would like to have. How about all those different seasonings (A cook can never have to many spices) and the Chocolate Pecan Cheesecake mixor the Tiramisu Cheesecake mix. Thank you for hosting this awesome giveaway and introducing me to the Homemade Gourmet site.
Well, I don’t think you could go wrong with the chocolate pecan cheesecake mix! I also loved the sound of a number of the seasoning mixes. We really enjoy garlic/lemon combinations in our family. I have never tried Homemade Gourmet products before, but am always on the lookout for dinner solutions on the evenings that I am so uninspired.
Southwest Chicken Strips, strawberry bread mix, and almost everything else listed. Yummy….definitely a site I need to visit. All of this is right down my alley. Quick. Easy. Homemade. If I win, you can notify me at dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
ooh, what’s not to like? I think since my son is on a PBJ kick right now, I would have to say I dig the PBJ Crumb Bar Mix.
What a great idea this is. It would be so nice to have these products and seems like it would make dinner preparation SO much easier! I think I liked the sound of the chipotle steakhouse rub the best, my mouth watered the most, atleast!
I love soup and the Chicken Noodle Soup looks like something the whole family would enjoy. I love the concept of Homemade Gourmet. I had not heard of it until now.
The Tomato-Basil bread mix looks great!
I have never heard of this before. Their soup mixes look super yummy. I especially liked Chicken Enchilada and Taco Soup.
Wow. What a great concept. The food sounds fairly healthy too. I really like the standard containers that the seasonings come in.
I think the Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf sounds pretty yummy.
I would love to try the TIRAMISU CHEESECAKE MIX!!!
I am so hungry now
This one is easy! I LOVE Homemade Gourmet’s Mock Spinach Dip Mix! It’s delicious with french bread or pita chips.
I hadn’t heard of this before but what a great concept and idea. I really liked the italian mozzerella meatloaf.
Looks delicious!
I would love to win this as I’m constantly being told my food is bland or boring. Hopefully winning this will give me the chance to change their opinions and sample products so I can see if I want to buy more.
