Influenster RoseVoxBox - Dr. Scholl's® Cozy Cushions Insoles

I recently received Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions Insoles to try.  Overall, they did a good job.  I put them in a pair of old tennis shoes that the sole has come out of - the pair that I just can't seem to part with.  I am really impressed! They are so soft, yet don't make the shoes feel bulky or tight on my feet - and they keep my feet warm. Sometimes a little too warm, but as the temperatures get colder, I will appreciate the warmth even more.

*I received this product complimentary from Influenster.

BzzAgent: Kroger Skillet Meals



Recently, I had the opportunity to try some free products through BzzAgent - which are available at Kroger stores.  I tried a garlic bread, a salad kit, and a skillet meal. 

Overall, the salad kit was very convenient.  But, I think that there were not nearly enough of the toppings.  I had to add extra cheese to mine.  Also, I didn't like the dressing that was included, so I had to add my own - but my husband used the entire packet that came with the kit on his salad, so there wouldn't have been enough dressing if we had both used it.

I liked how the garlic bread came cut in half - so I was able to cook just part of it for this meal, and save the other half for another meal.  But, the flavor wasn't as strong as I typically like it to be.  I did enjoy how much bread we were each able to get with just half of the loaf though.

Overall, the skillet meal was really good.  There were a lot of varieties in the store to choose from, however, there was only one that I thought I would like.  Lots of the other ones sounded good, but each had 1 or more ingredients in them that I did not like, and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to "pick them out" of the meal.  So I chose the Chicken Alfredo skillet meal.  Compared to similar products, this one actually had a lot more steps.  Usually, you just put the whole bag in the pan and let it cook, covered, for a certain amount of time (while stirring occasionally).  However, this one I had to melt butter in the pan first, then add the bag of chicken, broccoli, and noodles plus water, and let that cook.  Then I had to add the sauce and cook that.  Even with all the extra steps, I still preferred it over other products.  The flavor was good and it didn't burn after only cooking for half of the time.  I would definitely recommend trying all of these products - and checking out bzzagent.com if you're not already a member!
