bronxmama2 says "we call it fake chicken" about Tyson chicken nuggets

bronxmama2 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:12:35 GMT

The tyson chicken nuggets I bought were a huge dissapointment. I got them for my daughter, who eats very healthy and loves chicken. She can take one bite of chicken that has been created by putting chicken pieces together and knows it is "fake chicken" as we call it. The tyson nuggets were easy, just microwave, but one bite and she would eat no more. I tried them and only ate them because I had paid for them and they were not cheap. there was more breading than actual chicken in the chicken nugget. They tasted like "fake chicken" swallowed in bread crumbs. I could get fast food nuggets and have more chicken than I had here. They sat in my freezer for a while and I tried to finish them but after eating more than I wanted to and fighting with my daughter to eat just one I decided to give up and throw them out. I have since found much better frozen brands that taste great and contain chicken not just bread crumbs....

bronxmama2 says "cheap, fast and satisfying, just the way i like it" about Dunkin Donuts Iced flavored coffee

I dont drink coffe. never really have, but I love DD iced caramel lattes. I drink them all summer long and then switch to the hot version in the winter time. They are my five minutes of indulgence between work, kids, dinner, and cleaning. If you dont like the caramel the flavored coffee, hazelut for me and blueberry for my husband, tastes great and makes a great iced latte as well. They must have whiped cream on top though.

I have had some bad ones, too much ice, or the sugar did not disolve and I was drinking in sugar cristals at the bottom. This is more the fault of the person making it though then the actual product. Generally they are a refreshing, sweet treat. The best thing I can think of on a hot day.

I also like the fact that they are a fraction of the price of starbucks, and quite frankely I like DD coffee better and they are easier to order( have you seen the menue at startbucks latey). I can get a DD coffee and not go home feeling guilty for buing myself something, which...

bronxmama2 says "best thing in the kitchen" about Lipton Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix

bronxmama2 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 16:20:51 GMT

I must say I have used lipton onion soup mix for just about everything, except maybe an actual onion soup. It is great in meatloafs, vegetable soups, beef stews anything can be flavored with this product. Roasting potatoes coated in the mix is especilly good and very easy to make.

I don't have all the time in the world to cook and I like that this product is so versitile and easy. I love that I can use it for so many different things. Instead of having half a dozen different seasonings I can use the lipton mix for a variety of dishes, saving valuable space in my pantry. I even see cooking shows on tv using it!

My daughter loves to cook and she is so excited when we make sour cream and onion dip using this mix. All she has to do is dump the package in and mix, then she gets to eat chips which is always a treat. It allows us some time together and we both enjoy the finished product. She serves it to guests whenever we have paople over and it makes her so proud that she made...

bronxmama2 says "close enough to the restaurant" about California Pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust - Sicilian Recipe

bronxmama2 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 16:07:58 GMT

When i saw california pizza kitchen (CPK) pizzas at the grocery store I was excited, My husband had worked at a CPK a while back and I missed the food. I bought the thin crist kind not expecting it to taste the same as being in the restaurant but looking forward to it anyway. It was very good and very close to the restaurant. I have tried many of the different kinds by now and enjoy all of them. The hawaiian pizza is very good.

I also love the convenience of just popping it in the oven. Microwaved pizzas are faster but the pizza tastes much better, and the crust is much crispier from the oven. I get frozen pizzas a few times a month and enjoy te CPK brand because they have many different combinations of topings that I can't find in other brands. I wish they would make more of their restaurant combinations available at grocery stores.

They are a little on the small side though, they are much larger at the restaurant. I can eat a whole one by myself easily and still want a...

bronxmama2 says "time saving and easy" about Playtex Original Nurser baby bottle

bronxmama2 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:16:02 GMT

my daughter had a lot of gas when she was little. my mother recomended the drop in liners to help prevent her from sucking in so much air. the liners were great. she spit up much less and a lot of the gas problems went away. i am using them now with my second child and while he tends to spit up much more the liners prevent him from sucking in to much air becuase they they retract as he eats. this aspect of the liners also allow him to eat in an upright position besauce the milk is not sitting at the bottom of the bottle but being pushed up by the liner.

they are also very easy. when i first opened them i was excited to see that you simply have to slip one on the bottle and your done. they are simple even at 2am. and they require no cleaning, you simply throw them out and use another. i must admit though i dont like all that waste and i do tend to wash them out and reuse them. they are easy to clean

bronxmama2 says " educational and fun for kids and parents" about Baby Einstein Videos

bronxmama2 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:01:06 GMT

When I had my first child I recieved the baby mozart dvd with the music cd. Once my daughter got older we would watch the dvd and she would be instantly captivated with the sounds and images on the screen.

I loved her reaction and appreciated the fact that the images and characters were not anoying or obnoxious for me to watch. So many childrens videos have characters that are loud or way to corny for adults to watch. As so many parents realize though we will be watching these videaos with our kids over, and over, and over again. I like that when I put on the baby einstein videos I don't cringe at the opening song or the puppets on the screen, I enjoy it every time with my daughter.

The music cd that came with the video was great. We would put it in the cd player and hit repeat and it would play all night nice and low so that if my daughter woke up she would already have it on and go back to sleep and we would not have to go into her room to turn on her mobile which only plays...
