Autumn Dinners in a Flash with Schwan’s!

October 23, 2012 by Momstart 9 Comments

By Christine:

For over 55 years Schwan’s has paid visits to households like ours, delivering delicious, easy-to-prepare meals and friendly personalized service.  Schwan’s offers over 350 restaurant-quality products, all of which come with a 100% quality guarantee.  They are constantly searching to new ways to help busy families enjoy mealtime together. 

IMG_1184Unlike other frozen foods, Schwan’s are flash frozen and kept at a constant temperature until it reaches your door to eliminate the freeze/thaw cycles that can affect food’s taste.  All their items are easily prepared, and go right from the freezer to the microwave, oven or grill.  Schwan’s also features handy meal kits, and many items can be prepared under 30 minutes, and feature convenient packaging with individual wrapped portions so that there’s no waste.

As times and technology have changed so has Schwan’s, evolving to keep up with the demands of today’s consumer.  Now you can place your order online, in person directly from your Route Sales representative during your regular visit or over the phone.  Your food arrives via convenient home delivery, freezer bag drop off or UPS mail delivery.

I was given an opportunity to order a few items from the vast Schwan’s menu to try out an review.  Since my husband and I have worked very hard recently to loose the last of our respective "baby weight" I opted for items from the LiveSmart line Schwan’s offers. 

LiveSmart offers the following advantages:

  • Delicious, real, better-for-you food
  • Minimal additives or preservatives
  • Moderate calories, sodium and fat
  • Zero grams trans fat

We enjoyed the following items for several meals:

Oven Roasted Chicken Bites #494
Roasted Sweet Potatoes # 774
MicorSteam Baby Broccoli Florets # 870
Oatmeal Raisin Frozen Cookie Dough # 652

In particular I love how you receive food for more then one meal in each package.  We received enough for two complete meals for our family of four, and a third meal’s worth of broccoli.  Also, the cookies are break and bake style, so you can bake as many, or as few as you want.

The chicken was great, very tender and juicy with a little seasoning that didn’t require any sauce or additional spices. The sweet potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft inside with just the right amount of sweetness.  The broccoli featured mostly the florists, which is my favorite part of the broccoli with the best taste.

Since I work part-time we saved these meals for days both of us were working.  We really enjoyed our Schwan’s meal(s) and appreciate the quality and ease of preparation.  Also, the delivery was simple & straight forward.

Treat Your Valentine with a Schwan’s Dessert Delivery Giveaway

February 4, 2011 by Momstart 250 Comments

I love Schwan’s! I’m not really sure why I haven’t looked into getting a delivery from them. They have so many great options to choose from. We had their Pot Pies last Fall and now we’re eating our way through their dessert menu. I even told them I would put together a video of us trying out their desserts and while I was away, my husband ate almost all the ice cream. It was my fault really, I didn’t tell him I was going to do a video review, and I don’t like fruity ice cream. I’m just not a big fan of seeds and Raspberries are full of seeds.

The night after I got home from my trip, he asked me if I wanted any ice cream. I asked him what we had, and we had Peppermint, Spumoni and Raspberry Rumble Premium Ice Cream from Schwan’s, I wasn’t so excited about it but I said that I needed to have a bite because I needed to write a review. So, I had a bite…. and… I wanted another… and I wanted another..

Dessert Trio from Schwan's

My husband got up and took the bowl with him, he said, you can have your own bowl I don’t want to share anymore with you. So we each had our own bowl. And I was really sad to find out that was all that was left. It was delicious! Oh So Delicious I want MORE. I wish it was sold at the grocery store because I want it right NOW!

I was shocked because I’ve never liked fruity ice cream before. MMM

But that wasn’t all they sent me. They also sent me microwaveable brownies and a bag full of frozen berries the Triple Berry Blend. My kids adore fruit!!! When I told them they get to have a brownie and fruit they were so excited. Bouncing off the walls excited.

schwan's desserts

Again, I wasn’t disappointed in the outcome. The kids had half of a brownie each and a bowl full of fruit. Me, I just had an entire browning to myself, because of all those seeds looking  out at me. So treat your Valentine to a Schwan’s Dessert Delivery Giveaway!

The ice cream $5.36

Mother’s Day Meal by Schwan’s Giveaway

April 11, 2010 by Momstart 642 Comments

Schwan’s is a well known food delivery service. I used them years ago when I was living on my own before I went to college. They have such delightful food to choose from. They recently contacted me about a review and giveaway and they sent me some Chicken Pot Pies to cook for dinner.

Schwan’s Home Service, America’s largest direct-to-home food delivery business, offers approximately 400 great tasting dishes like ice cream, pizza, fruits and vegetables, choice meats, seafood, breakfast items, desserts and more.  Since 1952, the company has delivered frozen food orders door-to-door to households across the country and now ships nationwide, too.  From the freezer to the dinner table in less than 30 minutes, Schwan’s meals provide a quick, convenient and pocketbook-friendly way for busy moms to serve their families delicious meals – and eliminate time spent at the grocery store.  Ordering is simple at www.schwans.com or by calling 1-888-SCHWANS

The magazine, Good Housekeeping, has named Schwan’s Chicken Pot Pie a winner of a recent taste test comparing various brands’ takes on one of the ultimate all-American classic comfort dishes. I have to agree that it is wonderful. It doesn’t matter if you cook it in the microwave or the oven it comes out flaky and evenly cooked. I’m quite impressed with the quality as most pot pies you cook at home do not come out well unless you cook them in the oven.

I made them in the microwave too but I forgot to take a picture, it’s not quite as golden brown out of the microwave but it is evenly cooked. There wasn’t any cold spots or really hot spots. I’m very happy with our service. Thank you for the review!

 

Enter To win:

One lucky reader will receive a full family dinner (serving up to six members) featuring Chicken Pot Pie and their preferred dishes courtesy of Schwan’s Home Service, shipped right to their door!
