I received my pasta yesterday and wasn't sold on the recipes so I went to their site and found one I thought my family might enjoy: Crockpot Steak Italiano Spaghetti. I was right to do so because it was quite the hit. Although I found the pasta a bit underdone after following the box cooking instructions, overall you couldn't really taste the difference between the veggie and regular white pasta. The sauce masked any difference but when I tried it without any sauce I wasn't too fond of the product. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the pictures but when I make it again, which I most certainly will, I will upload them then.
My problem is the price; I feel like in order to eat healthier, we have to pay far more. I like being able to provide my family with healthier substitutes but due to much higher prices on these items, I find myself reverting to the white pasta alternatives. When you pay almost double for the healthier version your restricting many Canadian families on which "healthier" options they choose. Pay double for pasta or buy some grapes, kiwi or other fruit for my kids? Which option will many choose... the fruit.
Like the product, hate the price.
Will try the Fusilli next week.

Your family will certainly enjoy these and many others amongst the McCain family of products. -
McCain Sea Salt Crinkle Cut Wedges
Great as a quick treat on a busy night and love the quality. Unfortunately, in my opinion... the quantity is lacking for the overall price. But the kids enjoy them and I like the choice of flavors that allow something for everyone.

McCain Tasti Taters
My family enjoys these alone or with some Graham Masala seasoning. We serve them with homemade battered Alaskan Pollock as well; makes a quick & tasty meal.

I would buy this every week but sometimes the price goes through the roof and I'm forced to find an acceptable substitute. This is great toilet paper except for the fact that my husband and kids have yet to grasp the concept of less is more. I like when a product is a good price for good quality, and is long lasting... when used right. I like the thickness of this product except when the kids/husband think they need a fistful to finish the job, and clog my toilet. Even a spare square will do. -

I find this product is not for me. every time I've ever used it all it manages to do is cause the skin on my lips to flake, dry up, and become so annoying that I end up pulling it off. Others swear by it but this product is a big no for me...and it's far to expensive for my liking unless they run personally run out and make me a fresh tube before I buy it, forget it. -

I am always buying these in bulk when on sale. the price can be a bit high regularly but I have to have them on hand for sticky messes, which always seem to find me on a daily basis. They're great for use after the old "paper towel mop". I use them for everything from small spot cleaning on the floor, to counters, fridges, and stoves. I definitely recommend this product. -
Dairy Queen Blizzard Cakes
I absolutely love these cakes! They are better than any gift you could buy me. I look forward to getting one for my b-day every year but of course I always have to find a reason to buy one or two before that too. Unfortunately, the price of these... +
I absolutely love these cakes! They are better than any gift you could buy me. I look forward to getting one for my b-day every year but of course I always have to find a reason to buy one or two before that too. Unfortunately, the price of these things is outrageous... I can never buy one with my husband around or he's talking me out of this expensive indulgence. -
Dove White Beauty Bar
I love the original Dove beauty bar. I love how soft my skin feels when I use it; this soap leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.

We Bought a Zoo (2011)
As with "Good Will Hunting", in this movie you see Matt Damon in a new light. This is not only a great family movie but one that inspires dreams. It reminds us that even in the bad times if we reach for our dreams, we can overcome.
