Yummy!


Can you believe that this is the only picture I took on Wednesday? I had a coupon for $2.00 off one of these TGI Friday meals. I found them on sale at Wal Mart. The thought of dinner in a bag (Why try cooking gourmet for kids who will turn their noses up? Simple is best these days.) for $4.00 was too hard to resist so I went ahead and bought it. Paul was not excited to be my guinea-pig but finally gave in and decided he would eat it Wednesday.

I had a hard time choosing between the different meals they had. I ended up getting this one because it was the one pictured on the coupon.

I swear some of the fajita kits said they came with 6 tortilla's so I had in my mind that this would feed six. Boy was I wrong. When I opened it and saw how tiny the portions were I decided to not even try to convince Emma she should try it. I just started boiling water for her noodle cup. She was sooo relieved.

Paul, Andrew and I each had a small bowl. If I had had a few sides we would have been okay but really what sides can you serve? It has noodle, veggies and meat all in one meal, what more do you need? Two bags LOL! We did have some fresh pineapple. That went well with it and helped stretch the meal.

Overall I have to say that I really liked it. For a bagged meal it was one of the best I have ever had. I loved the flavor, the meat was good and the veggies were really pretty. I would totally buy it again if I had another coupon, but wouldn't try to serve three out of it. Paul hates red peppers so he didn't care for that part but he said he liked it too. Andrew ate the noodles and meat.

I've been wanting to do this for a while...

so I'm finally getting around to it. I want to do a Product Review every once in a while. I like to try new things and get very excited when I stumble upon something great. I will now be passing that excitement on to you!
This is a dip that Karin had at our BYU party a couple of weekends ago. It is fabulous. Everyone that was there liked it. Paul likes it on a Wheat Thin and I prefer it on a Triscuit. It would also be fab on a toasted slice of baguette. It can be found at Costco near their Mango Salsa and things like that. It cost somewhere between eight and nine dollars. I was asked to go two towns over to get some on Saturday before the BYU game against Tulane. I think it is now going to be a football snack necessity.

Hey, I just noticed looking at the picture that is says great heated. Hmmm. We haven't tried that because it was so dang good cold. I bet it would be awesome warm though. See, now I'm getting all excited again.

I'm not going to pretend that this is good for you. Let's get real, it is mostly cheese in a mayo base. (Don't let that scare you. Paul hates mayo and loves this.) Eat it in moderation, serve it at a party or eat it all but don't get mad at me when you gain a bunch of weight! I hope you that if you try this you will enjoy it as much as we do.
