Rana 5-cheese Lasagna


 

I had planned on just having a noodle cup for lunch today but had to stop by Kwik Trip on my way to the office and saw they had this product by their take-home meals. Since it was on sale today (for $4.99), I decided to give it a try. It didn't disappoint.

There were a couple things I really liked about this product. First, it only took 4 minutes to make in the microwave. This is considerably faster than many other single-serve lasagnas I've picked up in the past. In fact, it was quick enough where I think even my wife (who only gets 30 minutes to eat lunch) would find it convenient.

I was a little concerned it wouldn't be very filling because it didn't look very large or thick when I took it out of the box. However, there was quite a bit of cheese on it and that did make it a lot more satisfying than expected. I didn't even find myself needing an afternoon snack as a result of this (something that probably would have been the case had I gone with a noodle cup).

I even enjoyed how this product tasted. A lot of lasagnas like this one are either tasteless or have way too many seasonings. This one fell somewhere in between those two extremes. I wouldn't say it was good as homemade, but it was one of the better boxed brands I've purchased.

Final Opinion: I don't know if I would pay the full price for this product but, when it is on sale, it would be something I'd consider for lunch again.

My Grade: A

Synopsis: After being raised in Kenya and homeschooled by her mother, high school junior Cady Heron is given the opportunity to attend classes at an American public school.

Despite her friends, Janis and Damian, warning her about Regina and her fellow clique members, Karen and Gretchen, Cady tries to see the good in Regina. That changes when she falls in love with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron, and sees just how cruel Regina can be. Her acts of revenge, however, result in Cady assuming many of Regina's less-than-desirable traits and ultimately becoming a pariah. All while breaking out into song and dance because this is a musical. Who's in it? The movie stars  Angourie Rice ,  Reneé Rapp ,  Bebe Wood ,  Tim Meadows and Tina Fey . Review: I've seen the original Mean Girls multiple times, first when it originally came out then again with eac

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

Image
  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
