Kroger Spring Dinners

I was able to receive free coupons for an entire Kroger's Dinner. It included Kroger's cake mix, rich and creamy icing, crescent rolls, mashed potatoes and pork tenderloin.
Lets start with the pork. I used a recipe I received from my Aunt. Put pork tenderloin in crock pot, pour 1 can of coke over it. Let it cook on high 4-5 hours. Add Kroger's BBQ sauce and shred pork last 1/2 hour. It turned out gorgeous. Very juicy and delicious. The pork was not fatty or tough.
The rolls and mashed potatoes were a wonderful addition to the pork. I saw no difference between the Kroger brand and the pricier name brand.
I have always enjoyed Kroger cake mixes; so it was no surprise that I liked this one. Their cakes are always so rich and buttery and the icing was sweet and creamy.
My family enjoyed our Sunday dinner and we plan to definitely purchase these items again.

*I received free coupons for these items from Bzzagent in exchange for my honest review.

New Products from Quaker

Quaker Up
 
 

I had the opportunity to try 3 of Quakers new products: Perfect Portions instant oatmeal, Big Chewy bars and Quaker Chocolate Chip Cookies.
 
Perfect Portions instant oatmeal- I have always loved Quaker oatmeal. I remember eating from those instant packages as a kid. I loved the multi flavor packs, because I could have something different every day. Quaker did not disappoint me. The taste of their perfect portions were the same great Quaker  taste I have come to love.
 
Big Chewy bars- What can I say but LOVED THEM. The texture was wonderful, so soft and chewy that my daughter(who has braces) could eat them with no trouble. The drizzle of milk chocolate across the top was an added bonus. These made great on the go snacks for my busy family of 6.
 
Chocolate Chip Cookies- These were my least favorite. Although they had a wonderful taste, the texture seemed grainy. The cookie was a little hard and dry and fell apart just trying to get them out of the package.(and if you have kids like mine...broken cookies are not acceptable) 
 
Overall wonderful new additions to Quaker and they can be found in your local stores.
