Review of Kirkland Signature 5-Cheese Tortellini with Parmigiana


Even though I don't buy fresh pasta very often (because of the price), I do like to have it on special occasions. So, when I had an opportunity to buy this product at Costco a few days ago, I did. And, overall, I have to say I was happy with this purchase.

My decision to buy this product was based partly on the price. I thought $9.99 for 6 pounds (two 3-pound packages) of fresh tortellini was a pretty good deal, especially since it normally costs me about $3.50 for a one-pound bag of frozen tortellini. But, after having it, I would purchase it regardless of price.

One thing, in particular, I like about this product is the size of the tortellini. They aren't huge. But, they are definitely larger than the frozen ones we buy. This helped make them a lot more filling.

Also, the tortellini were filled with cheese. This probably shouldn't have surprised me. But, I've had plenty of other similar products that promised to have a lot of cheese in them that didn't. So, purchasing something that lived up to what it was advertising on the package was definitely refreshing.

It was a big hit in our house too. I made one of the packages a couple nights ago and everyone enjoyed it. We didn't even have any leftover. Considering my kids can be kind of picky, that's not a usual occurrence in our household.

Final Opinion: This was a good purchase, both because of the cost and the overall quality. It is something I would definitely recommend as a result.

My Grade: A

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
