Betty Crocker Shake N Pour Dessert Mixes Giveaway and Review

I've been baking with Betty Crocker the easy way.

The fall season always makes me think of baking. And that’s just what I did with the new Betty Crocker Shake-N-Pour Dessert Mixes. These mixes make dessert baking simple and fast.

The name “Shake-N-Pour” says it all. What could be simpler than adding water to a jug. There’s no bowl and spoon to clean, no eggs and oil to add!

It comes in 2 cupcake flavors, Chocolate Cupcake and Confetti Cupcake. Plus there’s also a Chocolate Brownie Shake-N-Pour Mix.

In my opinion, these would be nice to have around for a fun baking project with the kids and grandkids. Less steps, Less ingredients to add and less to clean up. It’s a win-win for a fast dessert.

Pillsbury Baguette Chips Giveaway

Do you ever get tired of the same old snacks.  Heck, even the same old dinners.  I know I do and even though Neil never complains he does too.  Even when we go shopping, we stand there and say "It's the same old stuff".

Now I've found something new on the snack shelf thanks thanks to Pillsbury.  Yeah, the same pillsbury in the baking aisle.  It's called Pillsbury Baguette Chips.

These crunchy chips are cut from oven-baked bread and then deliciously seasoned.  Enjoy them on their own, partnered with dip, or in a varity of other ways.  Best of all - with 130 calories per serving (21 baguette chips), and 50% less fat than regular potato chips*, Pillsbury Baguette Chips are delicious snack chips that you can feel good about eating.  To see more nutrional information you can visit Pillsbury's website here.Last night I thought it would be a nice change to have a game night with dinner.  We hadn't done that in so long.  So I sat up the game table for a change of pace. Sunday nights always seem perfect for soup and salad or a sandwich.  We went with salad since it's been hot outside.  The Baguette Chips went perfect with both.  It's like adding little cruetons to your meal.

I loved the Cheddar Sun-Dried Tomato in my Southwest Chicken Soup and the Italian Cheese and Herb went perfect with the salad.  The food didn't last long but the game did.  You know, I'm so glad we did decided on a game with dinner. It gave us a chance to spend quite time just talking and laughing.  No T.V., no computer, we just sat and played.  Truth is we were still snacking on the chips way after dinner, all through the game.  I think we'll be doing this once a week now.

I can't wait to make some dip to eat this with. They have a really nice thickness and will hold up to dippng great. Try a bag for your family.

If that’s not enough to get your mouth watering, then check out these delicious chips for yourself. To download a printable coupon for $0.75 off one package, you and your readers can visit http://bit.ly/PBCcoupon today!

I can still remember what a big deal it was to go to Burger King with my parents and sister as a kid.  Like I said before it's still one of my favorite restaurants.  Neil and I tend to always get the same thing every time we go.  A Whopper with cheese for Neil and a Whopper Jr. with no onions, no cheese for me. 

Thanks to this Burger King review we took the opportunity to try out a couple of new items and it won't be the last time either.  I ordered the Chicken, Apple and Cranberry Garden Fresh Salad ~ made with crisp apples, dried cranberries, bleu cheese and Ken’s® Apple Cider Vinaigrette.  It was just as good as it sounded.  I've always been a big fan of Ken's dressing but this was the first time I'd tried this flavor and loved it!  Neil tried the  Ranch Crispy Chicken Snack Wrap ~ A flour tortilla filled with crispy, marinated white meat chicken, a three-cheese blend, and a combination of spring mix, romaine and iceberg lettuce, all topped with Ken’s® Ranch Dressing and he wasn't disappointed.  It got us out of our rut.  Now, there's no telling what we'll try next.
