Year of the Dragon with P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Dishes and Bistro

PF Chang’s celebrated Year of the Dragon with new prosperity peace and happiness. Why? Prosperity, peace, happiness and longevity all symbolize the Chinese New Year, one of the most important and festive Chinese holidays. And they make great Chinese food. If you’ve been a reader of MomStart long then you know that I enjoy their freezer meals like the Pepper Steak with Chow Fun Noodles. This is a yummy steak with a sweet and peppery sauce, bell peppers, onions and chow fun noodles.

Pepper Steak with Chow Fun Noodles

In this “Year of the Dragon” that actually began January 23, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and P.F. Chang’s Home Menu want to ignite your good fortune and share the spirit of this holiday. They want you to enjoy some of their different varieties while experiencing peace and longevity. So relax and create a masterpiece in less than 20 minutes or try you local PF Chang’s local bistro.

I received a Red Envelope Kit, the Red Envelope itself represents another significant tradition in Chinese culture. Red Envelopes, filled with gifts, are presented to family and friends during the Chinese New Year. The color red symbolizes good luck, and this kit was filled with festive items that our family was able to use to get in the Year of the Dragon mood, like cute red lanterns. Love them!

There are a wide variety of P.F. Chang’s Home Menu noodles for you to enjoy!  The flavors of Home Menu noodle entrees include Pepper Steak with Chow Fun Noodles, Grilled Chicken Teriyaki with Lo Mein Noodles, Garlic Chicken with Dan Dan Noodles, and Firecracker Shrimp with Yakisoba Noodles.  Yum Yum Yum.

PF Chang’s Home Menu Giveaway

At BlogHer 2010 I had the opportunity to visit with Unilever and try out their PF Chang’s frozen meals. I tried two different flavors and have purchased two more flavors to try out with my family. I love Asian food and these are so easy to make. There are 8 different flavors to try from the PF Chang’s Home Menu. The Beef with Broccoli was at the Unilever event. The smell, I can remember it now and it’s making me hungry. You just open the package and place it in a skillet and heat it up. Delicious dinner in a bag in less than 20 minutes.

PF Chang introduces new kids meals and wants to give you a 100.00 Gift Card #Giveaway

PFChangs_KidsMenu_Page1_HighRes.jpg Hi-Res -- P.F. Chang's Kid's Menu - Page 1 image by pfchangskidsP.F. Chang’s recently introduced a new kids menu.  This is the first time the restaurants have offered a menu specially designed for children. P.F. Chang’s is very interested in getting feedback from moms like us about the menu, including the items featured, the price and any other thoughts /suggestions we might have on the family dining experience. I love P.F.Chang’s but my husband doesn’t so we don’t go eat there. I think they have quite a few options and it never bothered me that they don’t have a kid’s menu.  Now that they do I wonder if I can convince my husband to give it another try?

The kids menu includes:

· Four meals all priced under $5

· Food designed for children’s palates

· A kid-sized drink in a take home cup

· The same fresh, high-quality ingredients featured on the regular menu

 

Kids can enjoy Kid’s Chicken served with honey or sweet and sour dipping sauce, Kid’s Lo Mein, Kid’s Chicken Fried Rice or Baby Buddha’s Feast, a feast of steamed or stir-fried veggies.

In honor of their new menu they are sponsoring a 100.00 Gift Card giveaway to one of my lucky readers. I would be very jealous but I’m pretty sure my husband will not want to eat there even though they have a new kid friendly menu.
