Private Selection Frozen Foods - Great for Entertaining or Anytime! (BzzAgent)

This month I was lucky enough to have been selected by bzzagent.com to taste test the Private Secetion (R) Frozen Food line which is available at the Kroger family of stores.  I was pretty excited to try these people I love to cook, but often don't have time to - especially during the holidays.  On first glance these really seemed like they would be great candatites for easy appetizers for holidays or cocktail parties this holiday season, and they were!

The first thing I tried were the spanakopita.  These are an indulgence in my house - we tend to buy them once or twice a year from Sam's Club or Costco for special occasions so I was excited to see how well they stacked up to the ones we usually buy.  When I first picked them up in the store I was actually pleased by the box size (the boxes are smaller then average) and the price which reflects the packaging.  Each box holds 12 size spanakopita (for 3.99 here in louisville at the present time,) which means I can easily pick these up more often to make a weeknight or date night extra special.  Taste wise we thought these were on par with the other frozen spanakopita we've bought in the past so we will certainly be buying them again. We also purchased the pepperoni and garlic pizza which we thought crisped up really nicely and had a great spiciness from the pepperoni and garlic.  (We do love our garlic though, so if you aren't fans of garlic this might not be a good thing for your family.)  We also happened to pick up the vanilla cream puffs, another rare indulgence for our family.  We thought they thawed out night and quick and while the box seemed a tad small for what we paid they were some of the creamiest cream puffs we've gotten out of the freezer section so we found we didn't miss the larger package.

We were quite happy with the selections and we thought all of the products we tasted were on par with the brand name pizzas and appetizers and deserts we usually buy at higher prices.  Since these of course are still "gourmet" frozen fare they are still a little more expensive then some of your other options out there (and more expensive then some of the other things I highlight here in my coupon blog) they are great products for those extra special nights or when you are looking for something easy to make for entertaining for the holidays or any other time throughout the year!
