Dr. Praeger’s samples were received for review.
Easy to prepare foods are not only a sanity saver for me, but a necessity in order for me to maintain good eating habits. As a business owner, if I don’t have food options that are quick to prepare, I’m likely to wait all day to eat anything and end up famished and feeling awful. I tackle this problem by making sure I have no-brainer meals I can throw together, preparing ingredients ahead of time, and utilizing pre-made food items. So when I received a big box in the mail from Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods, I was so happy! Dr. Praeger’s is a line of frozen foods that create meals in a snap, and it’s been a great addition to my kitchen this week!
We’ve really been enjoying Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers – both the California Veggie Burger and their brand new Asian Veggie Burger patties. They’re both great and heat up quickly in the microwave – I was out of buns when I first got the shipment, so I actually ate a few of the California patties just by themselves, and they’re tasty that way too! After we had a chance to get to the store, we picked up some Kaiser hamburger buns and paired the burgers with red onion, iceberg lettuce, avocado, Jalapeño pepper, and mustard. Oh so good!! The Asian Veggie Burger patties are easily my favorite; they have such a delicious combination of flavors with ingredients like water chestnuts and soy sauce.
I also receive a couple of boxes of Lightly Breaded Fish Sticks, which were the first item I cooked and the first item to completely disappear from the freezer! These are really nice and were quickly devoured by Jai and I. The cooking temperature of 450 degrees that was recommended seemed a little hot to me, but although they browned quite a bit, they didn’t seem to burn the way I thought they would.
As a big SpongeBob fan, I thought this box of SpongeBob Broccoli Littles was just too cute! The box contained Broccoli Littles in the shape of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Gary – maybe Dr. Praeger’s can introduce a line of Krabby Patties next?!
These were yummy – a little like tater tots with broccoli inside. These are cooked on broil and they definitely do burn so just keep an eye on them. Ovens can be pretty variable so I’m sure it’s different in every kitchen.
Jai and I also enjoyed these Spinach Pancakes, which are basically a potato pancake with a heavy dose of spinach. They heat up really fast in the microwave so they make for a super fast snack or meal addition.
All of these products have so much flavor and quality even when cooking in the microwave – I was really impressed and thoroughly enjoyed everything I tasted. To find these products, check Dr. Praeger’s store locator to see if any of your local stores carry them; if not, you can order them directly from DrPraegers.com.
I’ve never even heard of these before. I love the Spongebob shapes! My boys might even try those with them!
Spinach pancake? wow sounds good and healthy too. Haven’t tried these yet.
This is the first time I have heard of this brand. I would really love to try the Spinach Pancakes.. Great review
I’ve never tried veggie “burgers” and I’m not big on meat but those actually look kinda tasty.
Hmmm! I’m really loving the Spongebob Brocolli! I think it would be a great way to get my boys to enjoy it instead of throwing it across the room.
interesting frozen foods. would love to try that spinach pancake.
I had never heard of this brand. Going to have to check into it – that Veggie Burger looks delish!!
Wow! I want to try the Fish Sticks, looks good!
I want to try those spinach pancakes!
Going to try.
I love Dr Praegers, but cannot find them here 🙁
I’ve never heard of this brand, but all of this looks so yummy! I love the little broccoli patties, such a neat idea!
My kids love broccoli and Spongebob and they would probably love the Dr K’s Broccoli bites. Too cute. I imagine the spinach pancakes would taste great with some hollandaise sauce.
I’ve never had a veggie burger, but I have to admit those look pretty good. The broccoli littles are adorable.
Will look for these, they look yummy!
Those spinach pancakes do look good. So do the fish sticks. Are they gluten free?
I haven’t heard of this one either. Daughter is a huge fan of Spongebob and she sure would like this as well. Thanks for sharing.
