Do you ever have stay-at-home date nights? I know I often equate going out on a date with eating out.. But, in actuality, you can have perfectly romantic dates right in the privacy of your own home! Dinner for two, dim lighting, candles, soft music.. sounds like the perfect date to me! AND – the best thing of all is that stay-at-home date nights are so much more affordable than going out! 🙂
Wanchai Ferry and Romano’s Macaroni Grill are making at-home date nights super easy. We can experience an Asian escape with Wanchai Ferry restaurant-inspired dishes by simply adding your own meat to delicious entrees like Cashew Chicken, Spicy Garlic Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Kung Pao Chicken. Or we can bring the romance of Italian cuisine to our kitchens with Macaroni Grill favorites such as Chicken Piccata and Angel Hair Pasta, Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta, Chicken Alfredo with Linguine, Garlic & Herb Chicken Penne, and Chicken Marsala with Linguine. YUM.
We’ve made Romano’s Macaroni Grill Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta and it is really good. It is simple to cook and yet tastes like it was an elaborately prepared feast! You can obtain information and dinner tips at WanchaiFerryHome.com and MacaroniGrillAtHome.com. And, be sure to follow Macaroni Grill on Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date on Macaroni Grill news! You can also print out a $1.50/2 Wanchai Ferry and/or Macaroni Grill Dinner Kits coupon HERE! (My coupon printed out as $2.25/2 so maybe yours will too!?!)
And now for the fun stuff! Wancahai Ferry and Macaroni Grill through MyBlogspark provided me with one Wanchai Ferry dry dinner kit, one Macaroni Grill dry dinner kit, and a $25 Visa gift card to give away to one Addicted to Saving reader so that you can create a romantic dinner at home too!

My husband and I had our first date at a restaurant called J.C. Garcia’s.
Kelly says
We were both going to be in the same wedding the weekend of our first date. We were set up by the bride to be. We went to a seafood resturant in Fort Lauderdale. I was sure it was a one time date since we didn’t live anywhere near each other. We have been married together 30 + years, have 4 kids and 1 grandchild.

My husband and I met at a party at his house for my friend in March of 2007. He had a girlfrien but she left early. We talked after everyone left. That was a Saturday night. We visited together for the next few nites until I left Wednesday night for FL to visit. My Aunt wold not let me call him until he called. I missed his call on Thursday and she let me call him back. That Friday he flew t FL for the rest of my trip. We were married in FL this past April. We just moved to FL just over a month ago with what we could take on a plane. We are looking for help to get on our feet here an this would help greatly, both mentally and physically.

My girlfriend and I had our first date at Romano’s Macaroni Grill. It was such a great night. We didn’t even realize that when sharing a conversation that NBA Legend Allen Iverson was sitting right behind us. When he heard us talking and how great things we going he decided to turn around and tell us that we sounded like we were together forever and when we told him it was our first date he couldn’t believe it. He was so shocked he insisted on buying our meal. That was a great night. Now we have been together for 2 years and have a new friend also A.I.
We shared this story with him on facebook.

We were still in high school so we didn’t have a lot of money but we still had a great time! 🙂 Now, 9 years later we’re engaged and planning our wedding. We’ve been stressed over saving money lately so it would be nice to be able to go shopping, cook, and eat these nice meals together!
