Best of GFS - part 3 of 3

And now,  the highly anticipated final installment of the Best of GFS.... GFS Sweet Yeast Dinner Rolls!  You will find these fully baked but frozen dinner rolls in the freezer section of GFS Marketplace.  Just pop them in a 350 degree oven for about 5-7 minutes to warm and lightly brown them up just a bit.  I like to keep a bag of these slightly sweet dinner rolls in my freezer to fill out a meal - perfect with a hearty soup and a nice change from garlic bread with pasta.  They are delicious!

Old way to make Spaetzle - boiling hot water, messy dough covered grater thing to clean up....

New way to make Spaetzle.... Marzetti's Frozen Spaetzle Dumplings from GFS Marketplace!  

I am so excited to find this item.  My family's favorite recipe is Chicken Paprikash - served over Spaetzle.  But honestly, as much as I like Chicken Paprikash, I limited making it to just a few times a year.  The Paprikash is easy, and actually making the Spaetzle is easy, it's just a big mess to clean up.  Now, I am happy and my family is happy as I have found these frozen Spaetzle, just cook in boiling water for a few minutes, drain and you are done!  Ta-Da! 

PS  My spell checker is having a hard time with this post!  Heehee!

PSS  Don't tell me you've never had Chicken Paprikash?!  It's delicious, and I would be happy to share the recipe.  Spaetzle are also a delicious side dish to many other dishes, too.  Try them sometime!

Thank you!

Just a quick note to say "Thank You!" to those who commented on my last post.  I'm having fun with this blog, and I'm happy to know there are at least a few people that read it!

Woohoo!  Does it get any more exciting that this?  Minor's Chicken Base!  But with this item in your fridge, making soups and sauces is very easy.  I rarely, if ever, buy chicken broth - just use the measurements on the side to make your own quickly and easily.  This chicken base is made from real chicken, contains no MSG, and is full of real chicken flavor, not salt.  It is so convenient!  Look for it in the refrigerated section at your local GFS Marketplace.

The Perfect Christmas Gift....

....for Me!

If you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift for me, I know just the thing.  You see, I've been doing this blog for awhile now, and having a good time at it, but I would love to know if anyone ever reads it (other than my loyal readers ~ my daughter, mom, sister and niece!).  So if you are a regular, or even just a sometime reader, please leave a comment.  It's not hard to do, just click on the "comments" link below. And, if by chance, you have tried something I've written about, I would love to know about it!  Just when you thought your Christmas shopping was done, I'm adding one more thing to your list.  But the good news is the price is right and the shipping and handling is free!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Sweatshirt Ease...Jacket Polish

This French Terry Jacket with Ruffle Trim from the Nine West Vintage America Collection offers the best of both worlds...sweatshirt ease, but jacket polish.  The soft fabric (in black or charcoal gray) is 95% cotton, 5% spandex.  The jacket has a gathered back with ribbing "belt" and the sleeve is trimmed with a bit of canvas and a metallic button for a bit of extra detail.  I think this will be a great addition to my wardrobe as you can dress it up or down, and stretch it through several seasons.  I found it at Macy's - regular price was $69 but I had a coupon, of course!

Perfect Swiss Design

It doesn't look like much, but this Zyliss Silicone Stir Fry Spatula is tops in design and function.  A tapered edge on the spatula gets under foods quickly and easily.  The angled silicone head and rigid silicone core make this spatula perfect for vegetables, omelets, sauces and more.  The high grade silicone is heat resistant to 600 degrees F.  The bright red color (or orange or lime green) makes it easy to find in the drawer and basically it just feels good in your hand.  It's about $8 at specialty kitchen stores or on-line.  Trust me, you will reach for this over and over again.
