Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage


This wasn't my original plan for dinner last night. However, the store happened to have this product on sale ($2.99) and, out of curiosity, I ended up buying it.

I have had other turkey products before and my opinion has always been a bit mixed. Some are OK but plenty of others just don't taste quite the same, either because of the turkey meat itself or because of over compensating by adding too much salt and other seasonings. As a result, I did wind up covering my basis by also purchasing a kielbasa to make with this. After trying it, I will say I was much more impressed than expected.

I had both some of this particular product and the regular kielbasa (both from Hillshire Farm) and have to admit, if I didn't know this was made from turkey, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the two. This sausage had a good flavor to it that wasn't overseasoned and I found I enjoyed every bite. In fact, even my picky children probably would have enjoyed this had they tried it (they didn't know it was turkey but wound up picking the regular kielbasa mostly by accident.

It's something that I would definitely consider purchasing again.

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when my wi
