It's in the Bag!!

As a BzzAgent, I was recently asked to try something new at Kroger!  I had never tried Kroger Skillet Meals before and I was excited to see all of the varieties I could pick from!  I chose the Sorrento-Style Gnocchi!  As usual, I was in a hurry and I was tempted to prepare it in the microwave (directions are on the bag) but decided to go with the skillet method since it said it was only 10 minutes and the recommended way to prepare it.  When I poured it out of the bag, I was skeptical of two things right away.  One, that there was enough sauce and two that it would actually be done in 10 minutes.  Well, there was and it was!!  The frozen sauce cubes melted into just the right amount of sauce and after EXACTLY 10 minutes, I had it on the table.  The sauce was good and the gnocchi were a good consistency.  I do feel that it could have used a little more spices or salt.  The price was fair and it was just the right amount for the two of us.  I wanted a couple of sides that were just as quick and easy so  I used the Kroger Fresh Selections Caesar Lite Salad Kit for our veggie and it was really good. The greens were very crisp and fresh and I just love when everything is in the bag!  I also made the Kroger Classic Frozen Garlic Bread.  First of all, this thing is HUGE!  You get a lot of bread for the money.  It was very good and was perfectly done at the exact time of 10 minutes.  If I have one complaint, it's that it is so much bread, that I only used 1/4 of the bag for our meal and the bag is not resealable.  Also, it is hard to fit a bag that size in a side-by-side freezer.  In fact, they didn't even bag it at Kroger and the gentleman bagging the groceries stated that he never knew what to do with them!  I also really liked that both frozen products, the Skillet Meal and the Garlic Bread, had the preparation time very easily displayed on the front of the bag so it was easy to plan my prep time.  I will definitely be making this delicious and quick meal again…especially during the busy holiday season! 

BTW:  I received this product free but it did not affect my opinion.
