Kroger Deli Fried Chicken

I am a bzzagent so I got this product free.  I was so excited because I love fried chicken and I love Kroger products.  This chicken is fresh, not soggy, the meat is juicy, the seasoning is perfect. Serve it piping hot from the deli, or let it get cold and take on a picnic. We served it with cheesy mashed potatoes and broccoli, we also got some Kroger Kettle Chips in this campaign which were great, and a Coke product 1.5 Liter. This was the perfect meal for us on a hot summer night. My girls were swimming all day so when they saw Kroger Deli Fried Chicken being served they were excited. Why? I never make fried chicken myself or usually never think of picking it up. But now I'm hooked. It's really easy to pick up from Kroger stores and it's reasonable. I can see picking some up for July 4th celebration and for picnics or just for when I don't want to cook. The price was right even without the free coupon. It was $7.99 for 8 pieces, enough for our family of four. We actually had 5 of us eating and it was plenty. Very pleased. I also think it's way better than KFC.

Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I'm a Bzzagent for Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In my bzzkit I got a 8.4 oz bottle, a substitution chart to show hot to replace butter, margarine and other oils to make things healthier and some coupons. The first thing I made with this was chicken. I baked it the way I always do with a little olive oil and lemon pepper. Now I normally use a generic olive oil. I am always on a budget. Anyway, what I wasn't expecting was a big difference in flavor! Hands down the Filippo blew away the generic olive oil. The chicken was so yummy, fresh tasting. I am seriously in love with the flavor. I mean it took my chicken up a notch from ok to spectacular. I love to make air popped popcorn and drizzle with olive oil, parmesan cheese and salt, so instead of generic I tried Filippo Berio Extra Virin. So good. I am replacing my generic with Filippo from now on. Not only is it a rich luxurious tasting oil, but it's good for you. Heart healthy. It'll be great for salad dressings, dipping bread and other recipes. I am going to use the chart to find new ways to incorporate it into my diet.

Pennington Smart Feed System

I am a Bzzagent for Pennington Smart Feed System. I was very excited to try this product. This is an easy way to fertilize your garden. There's an all-purpose, tomato and vegetable and flowers and blooms. I tried all purpose and flowers and blooms. I sprayed cucumbers, cantaloupe, tomatoes and zucchinis. Sprayer was easy to attach and it's all pre-measured and ready to go, I liked this a lot, no mixing, no measuring. It was easy to work and does cover about 300 sq feet of area per canister. So that is quite a bit. If you want it to come out slower turn the hose down. Easy! My yield on the tomatoes and zucchini was incredible after the first application. Cantaloupe leaves turned yellow around the edges so I think I put on too much fertilizer on them. But overall I really liked this product! I will use it again. I want to try the flowers and blooms one next.
