Catelli Healthy Harvest Penne Rigate

I'm not the biggest penne fan to begin with, but this version definitely needs some improvement to compete against regular pasta - or even other whole wheat versions.

This product is made with five green vegetables and whole wheat and is a great replacement for regular pasta.
Whenever I find a product that only has a few ingredients on it, and all of them I can pronounce, I know I’ve found a winner.
The added vegetables provide small amounts of nutrients that aren’t in other pastas, like thiamine, riboflavin, folate, and magnesium.
If you’ve got a kid who loves a bowl of Mac and cheese and not much else, this would be an easy, unnoticeable swap to get them some added nutritional value.

Dole Classic Coleslaw Blend
The coleslaw mix saves me from buying a huge head of cabbage on taco/burrito night. We like the crunch of cabbage over lettuce in our burritos and tacos, but never seem to need a whole head of cabbage so it ends up getting wasted. But with this mix... +

Annie's Classic Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese
I liked this version of Annie's better than the shells because the sauce powder doesn't clump up inside the shells. The sauce was good, although I had to add a bit of milk to make it creamier. Over all, my kiddo enjoyed it and I would buy them again.

I've made this box of noodles the exact way the instructions tell you to (with just the milk) and it makes the sauce a bit too thin. I've tried the suggestion of adding butter, but that made the powdered sauce all clumpy when I mixed it all together. The one way that I have had the most success is starting with a couple tablespoons of butter, melting it, then adding a dash of milk and then the powder. Then I add a bit more milk if it needs to be thinned out a bit.
Once you figure out the way to get the sauce perfect, these noodles are an easy, quick meal for my little one and great to have on hand for the days you can't be super mom and make a meal from scratch! Love that they contain organic ingredients.

Munchkin Miracle 360* cups
I don’t know whether I was doing it wrong or what, but after my daughter was struggling with this cup I tried it and I had to suck so hard to get any water to come out. We didn’t use it again. Wasted our money.

Bought this on a whim, trying to find something to use for my bikini line that isn’t shaving... This stuff works pretty well, a little uneven. You do have to put a decent amount on so the fact that it comes with only one of the little sponges isn’t ideal. I would recommend buying a loufah to use with it.
The plus side is I don’t get red bumps on my bikini line, like I do after using a razor with any soap or cream. Another bonus is that the regrowth of hair on my legs seems to have slowed only after a couple times using it.
