Kraft Foods Gift Basket Giveaway

I recently received samples and coupons of new products from Kraft Foods. I received samples of the new Kool-Aid Fun Fizz Drink Drops, New Kraft Homestyle Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese and Ritz Crackerfuls Filled Crackers along with gratuity coupons for New DiGiorno Pizza & Breadsticks, Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Shaved Meats and New Kraft 100 Calorie Packs Cheese Bites. Kraft will also send the winner of this giveaway the same gift basket I received, first let me tell you about all of these terrific new products!

Kool-Aid Fun Fizz Drink Drops are a tablet of kool-aid that you drop into 8 ounces of water. It fizzes up, then turns into kool-aid! Kids think it’s magic! Fun Fizz Drink Drops come in Partyin’ Punch, Gigglin’ Grape, and Laughin’ Lemonade.

Kraft Homestyle Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese is a delicious new variety of the traditional blue box Mac & Cheese you’re probably familiar with. You mix the cooked noodles with a packet of four cheese sauce – parmesan, asiago, colby and cheddar, YUM – and then top it with a crunchy crumb topping. You can either eat it just like that or bake it for a few minutes in the oven to get the topping really crunchy. My kids loved it so much we bought some more at the grocery store.

Ritz Crackerfuls Filled Crackers are made with real cheese and come individually wrapped for a perfect snack any time. They come in four flavors – Four Cheese, Classic Cheddar, Garlic Herb, and Cheddar Cheese & Bacon. I was lucky to get one for myself since my kids gobbled them up so quickly!

DiGiorno Pizza & Breadsticks is a great alternative to pizza and breadsticks delivery! We have pizza every Friday night and we alternate between takeout and DiGiorno depending on how much money is left in the checking account :)   I’m being totally honest here, we tried different brands of frozen pizza and unless I’m doing a review for a different brand, DiGiorno is the only frozen pizza my husband will eat. I picked up the Four Cheese variety to make for lunch this week, but it’s too hot to turn on the oven :0 Maybe next week!

Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Shaved Meats are DELICIOUS and I really do always have them in my fridge for sandwiches or homemade lunchables. I buy either the turkey or ham depending on what the kids are in the mood for.  I appreciate the fact that there’s a family size package available so that we don’t run out after two days!  Kaitlyn likes the Deli Fresh Shaved Ham so much, she eats it right out of the container!

Kraft 100 Calorie Packs Cheese Bites are a great way to have a cheese snack without eating too many calories. They come in four varieties – Cheddar, Cheddar & Monterey Jack, Three Cheese Blend, and Mozzarella Garlic & Herb.  I picked up the Mozzarella because it sounded like a unique flavor, and it is so good! I recommend eating these with a few crackers to temper the garlic flavor. Click the link to go to the Cheese Bites website and print a coupon for $1.00 off!

    How MomReviews Manages Morning Mayhem

    It was great timing that Parent Bloggers Network teamed up with Kraft Bagel-Fuls for this Blog Blast this weekend, because I just got two boxes of them and wanted to tell you how much I like them anyway!

    Kraft Bagel-Fuls are the first bagel and Philadelphia cream cheese all in one. You know those mornings when you would really like to have some breakfast, but you’ve got a baby on your shoulder and a toddler purposely dumping Cheerios off of their highchair tray onto the floor for the dog to eat, and as much as you’d like to toast a bagel and spread some cream cheese on it, you just don’t have a free hand? Well, with Bagel-Fuls, it’s all rolled up into one!

    But first, Parent Bloggers Network wants to know how I manage getting everyone fed in the morning. One thing that makes it really easy for me is the fact that my oldest son, who is 11.5, gets himself up in the morning and makes his own breakfast. School just got out for the year, but because his bus came at 6:45 AM, Ryan was actually out of the house before I even got up in the morning! So all I had to do was drag Nathan’s slow-to-wake-up heiney into the kitchen, put a bowl of cereal or some toast and milk in front of him, and then get Kaitlyn up and into her highchair for her own breakfast. So for me, mornings are generally mayhem-free, fortunately.

    To give you an idea of size, here’s a Bagel-Ful sitting on a lunch-sized plate. It’s a good thing I have a wide-slot toaster, although I still had to push it down into the slot and it stuck up at the top.

    Here’s the inside-it kind of looks like a Twinkie, doesn’t it? We’ve tried the original with plain cream cheese and the original with strawberry cream cheese, and both are delicious! It really does taste just like a bagel smeared with cream cheese, great job, Kraft! I plan to keep buying these for sure.

    Now, what I’m really hoping and crossing my fingers for is that I get picked by Parent Bloggers Network to be one of the two winners of the Blog Blast “morning saver” prizes, each featuring coupons for free Bagel-Fuls, a Bagel-Fuls branded wide slot toaster, a Tassimo hot beverage system, commuter coffee cups and more. A toaster that specifically holds the Bagel-Fuls PLUS a Tassimo which makes coffee, lattes, and hot chocolate? Oooh, pick me!

    So remember, don’t let mornings turn into mayhem in the kitchen! If you like eating bagels with cream cheese for breakfast, keep a box or two of Kraft Bagel-Fuls in your fridge for a quick meal or snack! This post was written for Parent Bloggers Network as part of a contest sponsored by KRAFT BAGEL-FULS.
