Perdue Oven Ready Chicken - So Good Ya Can't Stop Eating It!

If you haven't tried any of the Perdue Oven Ready products, you should! Not only are they easy to prepare, they are moist, tender and delicious! The hardest part about making a meal out of one of the Perdue Oven Ready products, is creating the sides to go with it.

Just open the package, remove the bag that contains the chicken, place in a pan, cut a slit in the top and place in a pre-heated oven! And think about how easy the clean up will be! Totally a cinch! Are you hungry yet?

I took my first taste and didn't want to stop! Once you get a taste of this chicken, you won't even want to eat the sides! Betcha can't take just one bite!

I really want to try the other "oven ready" chicken products from Perdue but cannot find them around where I live. If you happen to live in the Ann Arbor Michigan area and know where I can find them, please leave me a comment. Hope that you enjoy your Perdue Oven Ready Roaster!

 (Make sure you follow the directions regarding thawed and frozen, mine wasn't frozen but looked at the frozen directions and baked it too long but it was still moist and tender and I was shocked!)

I'm a BzzAgent for BzzAgent.com and this is my own personal opinion regarding the Perdue Oven Ready Roaster. BzzAgents have the priviledge of receiving free and discounted products to try as part of a Campaign. I received a coupon for a free roaster as part of participating in the Perdue Oven Ready Products Campaign. Would you like to know what all the BZZ is about?

Kroger Moist & Tender Babybacks - Fantastically Delicious

When I joined the Pork be Inspired Campaign from BzzAgent.com, I had used my discount for a slab of Kroger Moist & Tender babyback ribs which I had placed in the freezer. This past Sunday I decided to take them out to thaw so that I could put them in the slow cooker Monday morning.

Because there was only one slab of ribs, I waited till 10 am Monday morning to get the ribs on. I cut them into two rib portions, rinsed them with cold water and placed them in a colander. My favorite bbq sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipolte but my mom likes the original (honey chipolte too spicy for her). So, I use both. I always put some sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker and then place two or three of the portioned ribs on top of that. (This just depends on what size your slow cooker is.) Pour some more sauce on top of those and place the remainder of the ribs on top. Then pour sauce all over the top and sides until they are pretty much smothered. Turn slow cooker on low and cook for about 5 hours. Turn off and let sit for an hour or so before opening. Yummy!

If you are cooking more than one slab, you may have to cook them longer than 5 hours.

Working on the Private Selection Holiday Campaign from BzzAgent.com

Being a BzzAgent means that you have the opportunity to try products either for free or at a discount. I was invited to participate in the Private Selection Holiday Campaign. In case you don't know already, Private Selection is the Kroger "Gourmet" brand. For this campaign I received Private Selection Costa Rican Tarrazu Coffee and Private Selection Classic Watercrisp Crackers right in my BzzKit. Also included in my kit were "free" coupons for Private Selection Pasta Sauce, Private Selection Olives, Private Selection sliced Cheese and a discounted coupon for the Private Selection Yogurt.

The first thing I tried was the Costa Rican Tarrazu Coffee and I enjoyed it very much. The only thing with this flavor is that if you make it too strong, it will be somewhat bitter.

The Watercrisp crackers are airy and crisp. The problem is that they are very bland. My mother likes them but I don't care for them.

With the coupon for free olives, I chose the Private Selection Garlic Stuffed Olives. Anyone who likes olives will like these for sure. Tasted like a green olive to me and not garlicy at all.

For the free cheese I chose Private Selection Garlic & Herb Monterey Jack Cheese. No one in my household like this flavor at all. If they would have left out the herbs and just made it garlic Monterey Jack Cheese I would have loved it!

Because the Kroger I go to only had two choices for the yogurt, raspberry (only like fresh ones) and strawberry, I chose the strawberry.
I have to say that I did not care for the yogurt at all. I just didn't care for the texture and there isn't enough of the fruit mixture in my opinion.

Now for the Private Selection Napoletana Pasta Sauce that I chose. I was totally impressed with this sauce. When I first opened it the odor was not a good one to me and I thought that I wasn't going to like it at all. With a feeling of disappointment, I preceded to make meatballs to go in the sauce (I cook them thoroughly by steaming them in a skillet prior to adding to sauce). Once the meatballs were in the sauce I let it simmer for about an hour. While they were simmering I cooked the pasta.

When all was done I made my grandson and I a plate. I sat down and when I took that first bite and got a good taste, I knew I had found my new favorite pasta sauce. This was the best spaghetti that I have had in a very long time. In fact, it has made me like spaghetti again! I even ate leftovers twice and not one drop was wasted.

I love being a BzzAgent!

Alexia Foods are Really Good!

Ok, so now I am participating in an Alexia Foods Campaign for BzzAgent.com. In my BzzKit I received three free coupons. One for the sweet potato products, one for the bread and one for the regular potato products. At first I had a hard time finding these products. I went to two different Meijer stores and, also, my favorite Kroger store. The first Meijer I couldn't find any of them,
but the second one I did find the Waffle Cut Sweet Potatoes  and the Oven Reds in the "natural" freezer section. I didn't realize they would be in that section and it made me think of the Kroger I shop at. (I had never seen Alexia in that store) When I got to Kroger I went to the "natural" product isle and, low and behold, in the freezer section, there were the Alexia products! They even carry the bread! I had to laugh at myself because I hadn't thought of looking in this section.

I must say that the Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potatoes are totally awesome! I cooked them in a toaster oven and couldn't let them get crispy due to the fact that I broke a tooth a couple days before. I was very impressed by how good these were. And I don't normally care for seasoned fries. These will be a regular item in my household.

As for the Oven Reds, we didn't care that much for them. I can't really say if it was the olive oil or the herbs. Although, dunked in a lot of ketchup made them much better!






While I was at Kroger I picked up an Alexia Garlic Baguette. We will be trying this tonight at dinner. Our dinner will be left over Moist and Tender Pork roast from Kroger, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes and the garlic bread. Yummy in the tummy!
