Real Canadian Superstore and Extra Foods Now Offering T&T Brand Products-Giveaway

March 28, 2013 by Kathryn 226 Comments

T&T korean kalbi marinade sauceOne of the things I love about shopping at Real Canadian Superstore is the selection. Whether I’m looking for a new dinner option or just a fun snack I haven’t tried before, I know that I’ll find plenty of new items to test out at my local store. Recently I received a package of some of the new T&T brand Asian products, which were tested and approved by the CEO of T&T Supermarket, that the store has introduced and I was intrigued by the new choices available.

Stir-fry is a pretty popular meal choice in our house since the boys love the bite-sized morsels of food and I love the speediness of the dish on a busy day. So I was especially excited to see the T&T Korean Kalbi Marinade Sauce in our package. I combined it with steak, red pepper, carrots and broccoli to create a quick and delicious dinner. The sauce had a unique sweet and spicy taste that all three of us loved and while it paired especially nicely with the beef I’m sure it would be tasty with chicken as well. [Read more…]

The President’s Choice Insider’s Report Has Products to Make Summer Meals Easy-Giveaway

June 26, 2012 by Kathryn 191 Comments

One of my favourite things about summer is always the food. Fresh fruits and vegetables, sizzling chicken and steak cooked on the barbeque, creamy, dreamy frozen desserts…who could resist that? And part of that summer eating for me always means checking out the new treats in the President’s Choice Summer Insider’s Report. I received some treats to test out for myself and I couldn’t wait to dig in.

pc milk chocolate peanut butter clustersThe first thing that caught my eye was the Loads Of Jalapeno Popper Ripple Chips. While the chips sounded a little too spicy for my taste, my husband was only too happy to test them out and he proclaimed them irresistible. The combination of spicy jalapeno and mellow cheddar cheese flavour blended together beautifully in these flavour-packed chips.

My boys, on the other hand, were immediately drawn to the Milk Chocolate Covered Crunchy Peanut Butter Clusters. These crunchy peanut butter candy centres covered in milk chocolate were so tasty and it didn’t take long before we polished off the entire bag. [Read more…]

Fun and Festive Treats from the President’s Choice Holiday Insider’s Report

December 14, 2011 by Kathryn 2 Comments

While I love the excitement of giving gifts and the fun of seeing my boys watching for Santa, what I love most about Christmas is the food. For me, the best part of the holiday season is heading out on a huge shopping trip to fill the pantry with snacks and the freezer with tasty appetizers and desserts in which to indulge over the coming weeks.

PC Winter Blend Dark Roast ground coffeeWhen we take off on that giant shopping trip, I always make sure to check the President’s Choice Holiday Insider’s Report before we leave the house and this year, President’s Choice gave me a fabulous head-start on my shopping by sending me a scrumptious assortment of fun products from this year’s Holiday Insider’s Report in a festive cardboard pantry!

This gorgeous variety of products had my heart singing Christmas carols as soon as I saw it! The first thing that caught my eye was the assortment of hot beverages. Three different types of ground coffee and Chocolate Mint herbal tea provided plenty of options for winter warmth. While I had a hard time choosing between the Candy Cane Coffee, Winter Blend Dark Roast Coffee and Dulce de Leche coffee, I think my personal favourite was the Dulce de Leche decaffeinated ground coffee. As much as I love finishing a festive meal with a cup of coffee, I don’t want to be up for hours afterwards! This mild coffee with a hint of caramel let me enjoy a tasty dessert beverage without the caffeine buzz.

PC mini biscotti trayFor the kids, there was a four-pack of PC 100% Sparkling Grape Juice. I really dislike soda, but it tends to end up in our house over the holidays regardless of my disfavour. The sparkling juice beverages from PC were the perfect compromise; they let the kids enjoy the bubbly fizz of soda, yet I knew all they were really getting was a delicious cup of juice!

My husband, the resident spicy food addict, devoured the PC Loads of Jalapeno Popper Rippled Potato Chips and pronounced them hot and delicious. I wasn’t brave enough to try them out myself, but I had no problem digging into sweet treats like the tasty PC Mini Biscotti Assortment and the PC Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies! And of course, nothing could tear either of us away from the PC Big Box Chocolate and Toffee Collection, a collection of eleven traditional English sweets.

PC big box chocolate and toffee collectionI also received a gift card to try a few of the holiday’s must-haves from the frozen food aisles, so I gave my family a mini-holiday that started with the PC Shrimp Mini Hors D’oeuvres Collection. Then we dug into scrumptious PC Dine-in Tonight Lasagne made of spinach, ricotta and butternut squash. A meltingly delicious and oh-so-easy dessert of PC The Decadent Molten Chocolate Chip Cookies featuring a chocolaty molten centre finished off our festive meal.

I was so impressed by the assortment of festive products offered in the President’s Choice Holiday Insider’s Report and some of our family’s favourites are on our shopping list for Christmas this year. If you’re looking for easy appetizers, sensational sides, bubbling beverages or decadent desserts for your holiday entertaining this year, look no further than the President’s Choice Holiday Insider’s Report! It has everything you need to have a very merry (and delicious) Christmas!

President’s Choice Fall Insider’s Report Products-Review

September 3, 2011 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

Fall is officially here and along with all the other fun things that the season brings, fall also means lots of brand new products from President’s Choice! The PC brand has gradually become a staple in our household and when I got the chance to check out some of the great back-to-school products President’s Choice is offering this year, I was thrilled.

president's choice banana bread little penguins soft cookiesOf course, PC has some fun new options for the lunchbox, including individually wrapped, peanut-free cookies, brownies and cakes. Zackary loved the Banana Bread Little Penguins Soft Cookies and the fact that each was wrapped individually was great for controlling portions.

I also received a selection of PC Organics baby food items. I’ve loved the organic baby food President’s Choice offers since the company’s first canned food hit the shelves and the brand has grown to offer so much more variety since then. I especially enjoyed the toddler PC Organics Mixed Berry Carrot Fruit & Vegetable Snacks. With real fruits and vegetables, they were the perfect sweet treat for my children!

PC Organics fruit and vegetable snacksFall doesn’t just mean a return to school lunches, though. It also means a return to rushed dinners as a result of all the children’s activities that begin once again. President’s Choice is ready with some great options for quick and delicious meals.

For slow-cooker fans, the new line of PC cooking sauces are a great way to feed your family a hot and hearty meal with minimal time and effort. Just pop the meat and sauce in your slow cooker and come home to a tasty dinner! I tested out the Pulled Pork Cooking Sauce one day and it was absolutely delicious! Sweet, smoky and slightly spicy, it was the perfect accompaniment to the tender shredded pork. And for those that don’t have crock-pots, there are handy instructions for traditional stovetop cooking as well!

And if time is really short, everybody will still want to take a minute to dig into one of the President’s Choice frozen pizzas! My personal favourite is the PC Thin & Crispy Spinach Pizza. Loaded with spinach and mozzarella on a delicious crispy crust, it’s a decadent treat that makes dinner seem like a special occasion. And it goes from the freezer to the table in just ten minutes!

When you pop the plates into the dishwasher after dinner, PC is there with the brand-new eco-friendly PC Green Express Cycle Dishwasher Detergent. Formulated with 31% less chemicals and designed to work on the short cycle, it’s the greener way to wash your dishes!

president's choice cosmic soursFrom gourmet whole-bean coffee to healthy single-serving entrees, the back-to-school products from President’s Choice offer something for everyone. My personal favourite was the President’s Choice Cosmic Sours. Since they’re made with pectin instead of gelatine, they’re incredibly soft and chewy. I have to confess, I actually hid these and ate them all myself; the kids will have to wait until we buy another bag to give them a try. Yes, they’re that good!

So whether you’re looking for a tasty new sandwich for your child’s lunch or a fun weekday meal or dessert, check out the new fall products from President’s Choice. You’re sure to find something that your entire family loves!
