Submarine Sandwiches Custom Made

January 13, 2010

Submarine Sandwiches Deli Made – after our comparison test we prefer the Publix brand.

The comparison test for the submarine sandwiches was a complete collaboration that involved quite a large group, the responses were generated on Facebook by a single question posted.  The question – “whom do you think makes the best sub?”  There were many comments and hands down the preference of most were subs custom made by the Publix Deli.  Way to compete Publix…

Holiday Updates 3

December 28, 2009

Wow can it be that Christmas has come and gone oh so quickly?  I hope you enjoyed spending time with those who matter to you the most and that you kept the real meaning of Christmas the central focus of all you did.

We had a wonderful Christmas day and really enjoyed the fun of turning gift cards given, into a complete guessing game, filled with clues and laughter.  Brunch unfolded with my father arriving on time, which is close to a miracle if you know my beloved father.  The menu this year had some old favorites as well as two new recipes, both were a huge hit.  The new entries are; Sausage Leek Casserole from the Food Network and a Nectarine Shortcake from Martha Stewart.  Both were wonderfully delicious and they will be requested repeats next year.  Also, there is one more recipe that I must share with you – Cidar Glazed Turkey Sausage from Martha Stewart.  This recipe has apple cidar, sausage and only takes about 10 minutes of cooking.  It is amazing, you really must give it a try.

Many hugs and thank yous go to my Mom, Dad, and brother, because of their generosity, I was able to purchase one of my kitchen dreams – a Cuisinart Die Cast Metal, 12 cup food processor from Williams Sonoma.  I have looked at this particular machine for over a year and I am truly blessed to now be able to add it to my cooking arsenal as I begin to explore the recipes made famous in Indian cooking.

In closing let me hear from you and how you are doing as the new year so quickly approaches.

Cranberry Juice Cocktail

December 28, 2009

Cranberry Juice Cocktail – after our comparison test we will switch to the Publix brand.

Our family does not usually drink cranberry juice, except for some reason during the holidays.  Thanks to a friend of mine, I have now become hooked on a combination of orange juice mixed with cranberry juice.  Don’t knock it until you try it, it is really tasty.  I think now we have perhaps turned the cranberry juice corner, since in just 2 days we have finished an entire carton.  It looks like this will become a regular grocery store item…

Greetings Faithful Readers,

My Mom and brother arrived for our annual Christmas celebration.  This year was one of the best and we made many wonderful memories and laughed constantly.  A Disney Christmas Party, gift exchange and gift purchasing, cookie baking at midnight, Princess and the Frog, lots of new recipes and then more shopping were some of the many highlights.  Hope you are enjoying your family and every tradition you have created within your home and your community…

Publix Store Brand Sighting

December 12, 2009

Greetings Faithful Readers,

I thought it would be fun to let you occasionaly know of any Publix Store Brand sightings on television.

I am sure each of you know that Paula Dean of the Food Network often uses the Publix Store Brands on her show, but last evening I also noticed that Alton Brown of the Good Eats show also had some Publix items he was using in one of his receipes.  Even celebrity chiefs appreciate a tasty bargain.

Are there any other sightings?

Chili Mix Mild

December 10, 2009

Chili Mix – after our friends incredible recommendation we will purchase this Publix store brand.

This trial test comes from our friends, Jordan and Kristin. They had a “Chili Dinner Night” with friends and purchased several Publix brand items that helped bring this dinner together.   Afterward they told me their chili had a great flavor thanks to the season packet.  Give it a try we certainly will…

Holiday Updates

December 3, 2009

Good evening, it has been a while since we last talked and I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Our family Thanksgiving Day was filled with watching parades, expressing thankfulness, consuming great food and of course partaking in the much loved afternoon nap.  In keeping with our family tradition we introduced a new, never cooked recipe and this years entry was an incredible hit.  The new favorite appetizer – roasted shrimp.

Another one of our most cherished family traditions is to occasionally dedicate one of our holiday menus to unusual food choices.  The creation of a special and unique, yet non-traditional holiday menu is always filled with fun and laughter.   This year we have decided that our Christmas Day dinner will be based on Seafood.   I will keep you posted on the recipe choices as we approach Christmas Day.

As you prepare for the Christmas holiday baking and cooking, remember to watch the BOGO specials and the Publix store brands.

They will enable you to continue your goal of Smart Shopping – Leads To Steady Savings!

An excellent Earl Grey tea bag flavor.  I hope to see more tea entries by Publix.

Honey Mustard

December 3, 2009

Honey Mustard – after our comparison test we will switch to the Publix brand.

O.K. I must confess I had another brand in my cart and then noticed this one and paused after realizing that the Publix brand was over 2.00 cheaper than the brand in my shopping cart.  Guess how fast I removed the other brand, deciding to try the Publix brand?  I am so glad I did.
