Gorton's Seafood Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Winners# 74,82,41

Growing up my Mom worked a lot and my Dad ended up cooking for us most of the time.  I loved it when he would make fish sticks, they always tasted really good.  As an adult I have not been a big fan of fish sticks. I have bought them a few times for the kids and I have been really disappointed. So when Gorton's gave me the chance to try their large variety of frozen seafood's I knew fish sticks would be number one on my list.

According to the Dietary Guidelines we should be getting 2 servings of fish a week. For people like me who live in Alaska that's not very hard but where I grew up in Idaho seafood was quite the luxury. With Gorton's selection of fish you can get your fish and not get tired of the same thing all the time. They have a several products to choose from that are quick and easy to make.

So like I said to start off  I bought the Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks. I wanted to see if they tasted like I remember fish sticks tasting, and I am pleasantly surprised to say "yes they did". These were really good and even better,  my daughter and husband liked them too! What an easy meal, fish sticks with a side of homemade french fries!

Second I tried the Beer Battered Shrimp. This was a great little appetizer to have on hand. I was making dinner for some friends one night and it was running a little late. I popped these into the oven and made a little cocktail sauce and they were a hit with everyone. These are great to have on hand for a last minute meal or snack!

The third Gorton's product I tried was my favorite. The Potato Crunch fillet was really good paired with a side dish and it was also great in a wrap. I got the idea from Gorton's website they put the Potato Crunch Fillet in a wrap with lettuce, tomato, cheese and a little ranch dressing it was quite good.

Gorton's is giving 3 of GGG readers the chance to win 2 FREE product coupons as well as a Custom Gorton's Dinner Plate.

FuFu Review

Fufu Products

My favorite part about the holidays was and still is cooking with the women in my family. Most of my memories of past holidays involves some sort of cooking with my Mom and my Grandma. I cherish those memories and now it's my turn to pass those memories and create new ones with my own daughter.

My daughter who is almost four is already very excited to get in the kitchen with me any chance she gets. She is even more excited now that she has her very own apron, a Fufu apron. She was so excited when I gave it to her and what made it even better, it matched Mommy's! Fufu aprons are made beautifully and the best part is that children love them because not only do get they get to be part of something exciting but they get to look the part too! Every Mother that loves to cook wants to pass that same excitement down to her children and it's wonderful that Fufu aprons can add a little pizazz to your kitchen.

Fufu Aprons are the designers passion as she grew up wearing an apron in the kitchen. These aprons aren't your typical boring apron but they have a stylish retro feel to them that makes them so adorable. Their clean lines and colorful patterns are sure to excite any cook and with several style choices you are sure to find the perfect match for you and your budding little chef.
