I had the opportunity to try Kroger's Private Selections delicious line of specialty foods, recently. I sampled a pizza, an appetizer and a dessert.
The cost of all three was a little more than I was initially comfortable with - 9 pieces of appetizer ran about $5, the small (probably enough for 2 people) pizza was about $6 and the dessert (2 servings) was about $4.
In all - my impression of the products was excellent. I always start with a thorough read over the ingredients list on the side of the box - it was a short list for all three products... which is a sure fire sign that they were like something I might make at home. The ingredients for the apple dessert was my favorite "apples, oats, butter, salt, sugar, brown sugar... " etc... and it tasted just that fresh - like I had sliced the apples, poured the oats and brown sugar over top with a dab of butter... It was the same for the pizza and the tortilla cup appetizers - a short list of ingredients that were natural and from what I could tell, preservative free!
I wanted to get my kids' take on the foods too, so I cut the pizza up into appetizer sized pieces, and we shared all of the "appetizers" together for our weekly Family Fun night. My husband LOVED the pizza - it was fresh with little balls of mozzarella and the crust was crispy. The flavors were fresh and delicious.... my family cried out for more! The tortilla cups weren't such a big hit with my kids - but they had great flavor that my husband and I really liked - they tasted like I had slaved over them in the kitchen - when all I did was heat them up!
All told, these are fine for the family, but better for "adult food" - so all my single lady and guy friends who might want to entertain for the New Year - these are DELICIOUS and easy to prepare... and they are made from the kinds of things you would cook for yourself - not packed full of nitrates and preservatives - and they taste great!
I received these samples because I am a Bzzagent - Bzzagent gives me the chance to try products and tell everyone what I think. Thanks Bzz agent and Kroger for sharing Private Selections with me! Loved them!
