Nutcracker Reception

My daughter dances in the Nutcracker performance every year.  There is always a reception for the dancers and their families.  This year I was so thrilled to share some of my new favorite things at the reception.

Everyone loved the Private Selection jalepeno stuffed olives.  I served them along with Private Selection sharp cheddar cheese on Private Selection branded cracker/wafers.  I also picked up my absolute favorite which is the Private Selection marinara sauce and served it with some warm breadsticks from Olive Garden LOL.  I know it sounds like I keep repeating myself BUT these are my new favorite things :)  I can't stop eating them LOL!

I've had so many people comment on how much they love them too :)  I enjoy the shocked look on their faces when I tell them Private Selection is a Kroger brand.

I'd like to thank BuzzAgent for hooking me up with the campaign.  It has made my holiday entertaining and participating in holiday parties/events so much easier.  I know exactly what to take.

Private Select Products & the Holidays - a friendly reminder

Don't forget to pick up some Private Select goodies for your holiday parties.  I'm in love with these products which you can find only at Krogers.  Thanks for BuzzAgent for turning me on to a great thing at just the right time :)

Private Selection Review

I received a very nice buzzkit from BuzzAgent to review some of the Private Selection products from Krogers.  Included in the kit was a delightful aromatic med/dark coffee and a box of wafers and some coupons good for FREE pasta sauce, olives, and cheese.  (I used my pasta sauce coupon on Marinara YUM).

Anyway, put of these great items together and you've got yourself a nice little spread for a few guests.  We enjoyed the marinara with some breadsticks and I do believe this was everybody's favorite!  The coffee was so delicious and smelled so good.

I highly recommend that the next time you are in Krogers that you check out their line of Private Section products as I believe that you will be just as satisfied with the quality of the products as I was.  I know you will be pleasantly surprised to find that you can buy top notch quality products as a great price.

The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.  I did receive the trial kit as part of a buzz campaign courtesy of BuzzAgent.

Reminder !
