Marie Callender's Delights

   When Kroger's #FreshIdeasFromTheFreezer and #MyMagazineSharing offered me a #FreeSample of Marie Callender's Delights I just couldn't choose one.  So I used my coupon on one meal and bought the other.  I opted for Baked Turkey Meatballs in a Crushed Tomato Basil Sauce  along with Baked Country Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potato  and I thoroughly enjoyed them both.  Marie Callender's is notorious for not using any artificial flavors and their meals are a great source of protein.  You can choose between microwaving or putting in your conventional oven.  Meals are low calorie between 240 -300 calories and very filling.  I prefer to #OneUpped the meals with small side salads.  Will definitely be purchasing again soon!  Anyone interested in joining Kroger's exciting program can do so here http://h6.sml360.com/-/x215 .

Satisfy That Craving With Devour

Kroger's #FreshIdeasFromTheFreezer from #MyMagazineSharing offers consumer another great #FreeSample to try before you buy and Devour becomes a hit.  Devour meals promises to curb your cravings whether you want something sweet, creamy, crispy, cheesy, smoky or spicy.  For those concerned The Tender Angus Beef with southwest style corn potato hash is 400 calories.  The taste is awesome and definitely filling.  I did however add a small chef salad on the side.  In less than five minutes...your meal is ready.  Just put in the microwave for less than five minutes and enjoy!

Michael Angelo's Renews Spark in Romantic Relationship

 

Men really don't want a lot, they just want to know that you are thinking about them.  Michael Angelo made this extremely easy for me last night.  My husband got the munchies for a hot snack while watching The Detroit Tigers Ball Game on tv.  I decided to surprise him with the Michael Angelo's Sausage & Mushroom Flatbread I had bought at Walmart.  You get two flatbreads with Carmalized Onions, Mozzarella Cheese & Arrabbiata Sauce.  Now that's Italian and for those who are watching their waistline they are only 270 calories per serving. It only took this cook 15 minutes to prepare these tasty treat baking in the oven.  Now the best part, my husband was so impressed that he showed me special attention for the rest of the night.  So when your loved ones tire of potato chips and nuts give them Michael Angelo's...they will love you for it~

Shauna Niequist's Bread & Wine

Shauna Niequist's Bread & Wine A Love Letter to Life around the Table With Recipes really hit home for me.  In my younger years, our family lived upstairs from my Grandmother DiFalco who spent the entirety of her days making pasta and meatballs from scratch to serve to family and friends come dinnertime.  Cooking and sharing her meals was her way to show love and there was always plenty to go around the table no matter how many people showed up.  Everybody looked forward to dinnertime where we all enjoyed the meal and sat long afterwards sharing stories of our day.  My uncles always told hilarious jokes and nobody would miss out on being around the table. Of course being raised the way that I was, I followed in my Grandmother's footsteps.  I enjoy cooking and inviting a lot of guests over.  In this way the author won over my heart.  She speaks of the importance of being together and enjoying even a small meal (bread and wine) or whatever you feel to create.  Shauna shares her experiences as well as delights us with many recipes.  The book spoke to me while conjuring up warm memories of many pleasant evenings.  I recommend this book highly to anyone who enjoys entertaining as well as housewives and hostesses.  It was my honor to read this book in exchange for my review for the Handlebar Network.

 

Now That's Italian~

Product – Red Pepper Sauce | Progresso Frozen Foods

Progresso Foods offers a delicious shortcut to warm bellies with the cold weather upon us.  I was fortunate to receive free coupons for their new frozen sauce and specialty pastas after becoming a fan member. Within these choices of sauces:  Red Pepper Sauce; Marsala Sauce & White Wine Sauce I purchased the first.  Coming from a large Italian family, I learnt to make both spaghetti noodles and sauce from scratch from my grandmother which was an all day affair.  Thanks to Progresso a family can enjoy the great taste of an awesome pasta meal which the cook can prepare in less than forty five minutes.  Imagine how elated I was when my spouse gave me kudos for the angel hair pasta and garlic bread meal I had made.  Progresso's Red Pepper Sauce just needed to be warmed up because it is not necessary to add anything.  I boiled the noodles and baked garlic bread yet the family had praised me as if I spent my entire day in the kitchen.  Better yet, this specialty sauce was so unique that we all were happy to sample something new and different.  Looking forward to the marsala sauce and white wine sauce to enhance supper meals.  If grandma were still alive I would have to explain to her that Progresso is truly Italian.  Give yourself a break...try Progresso now~
