Alfredo Chicken from Birdseye Voila®

Ok, I admit, I'm not one to buy a pre-packaged meal from the freezer section of the Supermarket. I have guilt issues. I am one of those women who shop in the market peering at other young women's carts and commenting on how they are shopping in a supermarket yet they buy frozen Prepared food! Well, I was one of those women yesterday, and after eating a really good dinner last night...my opinion has changed!!
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program®, I agreed to sample a Free package of Birds Eye Voila®.
I know I tout a mantra about fast food, but this truly is Fast Food with Slow Food Flavor. I equate this "Meal in a Bag" to what I would get if I had made Chicken Alfredo and frozen it for a later date. The spices, flavor and content were definitely satisfactory.
Here's what you get: I got the 23 oz package..here's a pic of the actual bag:

I received a Coupon from Birds Eye® for a FREE 23 oz package. Coupon value was for $5.99 My Grocer's price was $5.49. So I was straight. There were probably 8-10 different flavors to choose from. Flavor choices were Italian, American and even Asian.The Birds Eye website lists 17 different flavors in this package size. I brought the package home and read the instructions. It said to pour the contents of the bag, the sauce package and 2 tbsp of water into a saute pan and heat covered on med high for 10 minutes. (There are microwave instructions also) I have to admit, for college kids who have a microwave handy, this would be a treat!

I opened the bag and find a "block" of sauce in it's own little package. I removed the block and poured the contents of the bag into a saute pan. (I was surprised by the amount of chicken in the bag. Nicely done.) Opened the sauce package and chopped it up into little pieces so it would melt evenly in the pan. I heated it on medium until it warmed through, then lowered to low for 3-4 minutes longer.
The contents of a 23 oz package is enough for 2 servings. Served aside a fresh salad and nice crusty bread, you have a substantial meal that took literally 10 minutes without the sacrifice of a Take Out price tag or the fast food guilt. Thumbs up Birdseye!

My New Kodak Photo Book

I have exciting News! 

I was a chosen  Foodbuzz Tastemaker this month.

We were given the opportunity to create and receive a FREE Kodak Photo Book!

I had made one previously when the books like this had first come out. I had gone to the Florida Keys for my 40th Birthday and wanted to make a scrapbook, but wanted it to be especially nice. 

The process for this Kodak Photo Book was similar.

You simply choose the photos you want to include in the book and

 insert them into the Page Layout of your choosing.

I have to admit, This book is more than I ever expected!

As my Cookbook, is an E-book, I don't have a Hard-copy.

So I chose this time to create a book about my Cookbook Journey.

It was so much fun. The photos came out Fantastic! 

I have the simplest Point & Shoot Camera,

 and was so afraid of "Low Resolution" problems.

This book makes my photos look beyond professional!

The Quickstart Program lets you choose the Book Style 

then Upload any and all Photos you might want to include.

Can you believe this???

Thanks to Kodak and the Tastemaker Program I can now

 not only see my Cookbook, but hold it and thumb through it!

I now have a Hard Copy Cookbook!

I am over-the-moon thrilled!

With each turn of the page, I am happier and happier with the outcome.

The process was painless and the turnaround 5 days!

I created the book in 2 days, ordered it and it was in my hands in 5 days!

I think my Hunny was disappointed that I didn't do a "Vacation Book",

 but the expression on his face when he saw this book

 lets me know I made the right choice.

You will love Your book!
