BzzAgent- Buitoni!

I recently received a coupon to try another Buitoni product and let you know what my family thought of it, courtesy ala BzzAgent. The Buitoni Riserva Chicken & Mushroom Ravioli, and we paired it with a marsala wine sauce!
This meal is make with all natural--minimally processed ingredients. It was super easy and quick to make AND you only need one pot. Once the ravioli is cooked to perfect (160 degrees F internally), you simply mix in the sauce and toss to coat--it smelled absolutely wonderful (in my opinion)!  As for taste--my husband's exact comment, as he was getting up from the table after eating, was "Mmm, that was good! I'd get it again."  with a vegetable on the side, we had broccoli, and a glass of milk and we all left the table well satisfied!
Our family eats Buitoni products regularly, and we will continue to do so, especially after trying this great one for free!

Thanks BzzAgent and Buitoni!

I received this product for free from BzzAgent but it did not affect my opinion
I was fortunate in receiving a package of Buitoni Riserva Wild Mushroom Agnolotti to try. I held off for a while because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. After seeing other foodies post fabulous recipes using the pasta, it only made me ponder what I wanted to do with it even further. Well, it is a beautiful Sunday morning and I "need" to make some soup and I want it to be somewhat light (not as in calories...as in not heavy) and I want to use my pasta, so I decided to combine all of my efforts into one tasty bowl. Agnolotti is a sort of ravioli. This one in particular is large, half moon shaped with scalloped edges wrapped around an ABSOLUTELY, AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS mixture of fresh portobello & crimini mushrooms, Grana Padano & Parmesan cheeses and fresh roasted garlic; and the Buitoni Riserva pasta line is All Natural (minimally processed with no artificial ingredients). I decided to float some in a hot bowl of broth made chock-full of garlic, herbs and mushrooms. Garlic, Mushroom and Herb broth w/ Wild Mushroom Agnolotti by girlichef serves: ~4 Parsley Sprigs, small bunch Thyme Sprigs, small bunch Bay Leaves, small sprig (3 or 4) Garlic, 1 head, peeled Dried Shiitake Mushrooms, 3 ea. 6 c. Vegetable Stock, Broth or Water 1 pkg. (9 oz) Buitoni Riserva Wild Mushroom Agnolotti Combine all ingredients except Agnolotti in medium pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and allow to cook for about 20 minutes. - See more at: http://www.girlichef.com/2009/05/its-souper-day.html#sthash.c3QG2lCu.dpuf

Bzz Agent- Comforts for Baby



Loved the free diapers I got from Bzz Agent and Kroger!  They were great for keeping my baby dry, fit him well, and moved with my very mobile baby!

Okay, so of course it is hard to give up the name brands and go generic. There will always be name brands that just far out beat the generic. I have an 8 month old. When he was first born I used pampers over huggies because in my experience the huggies would leak, mostly overnight, sometimes during naps. I used pampers with him up until we discovered Comforts for Baby because of being a BzzAgent, so now we dont use pampers, because they were ridiculously priced.  After giving the diapers a shot I found they were great. Of course some nights they may have a little too much liquid right before bed, and the diaper and pull up can only handle so much, but overall I have not had many issues with leaking. I am currently buying the size 2 diapers. The diapers are not much cheaper but when you buy them often the little that I do save adds up. The pull ups however are drastically cheaper and Ive heard, just as efficient, which will be good when I need to start buying those too. I am satisfied!
