yep. delicious
The Whole foods fish sticks with Toady’s tartar sauce is pretty darn delish.
LOL!! You know it’s lent when even WF is out of Fish Stix.
I just checked and they are out in my area too… but this is what they look like…
I was very pleasantly surprised with Portos Bake at Home. Ordered on a Monday, received on a Tuesday. Was able to have portos baked goods on Easter with zero line hassles. I hope this stays post-pandemic.
The cheese rolls look excellent. You only ordered 6 dozen items?
Did you freeze any? I was actually looking at this the other day.
I froze them all with the intention of them lasting several weeks.
It has been 6 days and I’m all out of Portos.
Shipping was $13.
It looks fantastic
Was there a noticeable difference between the end result versus what you would get there?
They are immaculate at the store but some of mine were broken as seen in pics. I served the good ones to guests and ate all the busted ones.
I imagine I could get the time/temp dialed in after a while.
Taste wise? 100% identical.
I like these okay, thought they’re nothing like Detroit-style, more like focaccia.
Trader Joe’s steak & stout pies are pretty good.
I’ve bought Vicolo’s at Costco, Trader Joe’s, and various other places. They’re sold refrigerated but I throw them in the freezer. The sausage one is the only one that I like as is, the others I want to doctor them with more toppings and cheese.
We did the Portos pickup last weekend. I considered the bake at home option, but we ended up at Ikea to pick up a desk, so I ordered online and it was ready for pickup by the time we found our way out of Ikea. Took about 15 minutes to pick up – they have an efficient system in place.
I am now a big fan of Amy’s frozen mac & cheese (all flavors) and mail order top shelf bbq.
My friend, Peter Reinhart, developed Amy’s frozen pizzas so that is probably a good bet as well.
Amy’s frozen spinach pizza is my favorite frozen pizza.
That’s really frozen food. But it is not healhful
Grocery Outlet has had some great vegetarian frozen food options lately. I tried Yaya’s Garden vegetarian Pastitsio for lunch today and it reminded me of Stouffers macaroni and beef which I used to love (don’t judge ) with an addictive bechamel top. It came out of the microwave looking like the photo on the box! Very impressed I also picked up the moussaka, which I have yet to try. $2.50/each at GO. Don’t know the typical price.
My store also had the Vicolo cornmeal crust pizzas (only one kind: roasted mushroom). I think is was $3.99, which is much cheaper than usual.
They’ve also had different varieties of Nancy’s quiches come in which are one of my favorite quick meals. $1.49 at GO.
My store is in Davis, CA and selection changes so much. But I’ve been happy with their frozen meal choices lately
Actually was craving these, the Posada burritos. On my way home stopped at Costco. Sold out. All they had was El Monterey burrito variety pack. Yeah, not a fan.
So I got the only other “Mexican-ish” thing they had… these…
(Different packaging and quantity, same product)
Yeah, I pretty much hate everything this company makes. If I didn’t know better, I would think that the word Monterey is Spanish for tasteless.
Yuck!
Yeah these are great for what they are. Not stingy on the meat/cheese and not too salty.
But they’re tasteless I’m so lucky that I had an industrial tub filled with hot sauce packets from Jack in the Box and Del Taco.
That is indeed what the hot sauce is for - 3 packets minimum.
