Guide Picks - Top 5 Convenience Foods
These excellent food products are ones your guide relies upon to make delicious meals fast.
1) Bean Cuisine
Bean Cuisine mixes make wonderful, healthy dishes. The only limit to the recipes is your imagination. Four varieties and recipes for each mean you don't have to serve the same dish twice, unless you want to. Make sure to click on the 'Recipes' link when you visit this site for lots of great ideas. Make French Gemelli Skillet or Chicken, Beans and Peppers with these versatile mixes.

2) Buitoni Refrigerated Pastas
I always make sure I have several of these refrigerated pasta products in my refrigerator and freezer. They cook in minutes, can be mixed with pasta sauce and baked without boiling, and are wonderful in pasta salads. Many different varieties are offered, including vegetarian and some fabulous flavor combinations like Cheese and Roasted Garlic. Try Red and White Tortellini with these great pastas.

3) Mrs. T's Pierogies
If you have never tried pierogies before, you are in for a treat. These large pasta turnovers are filled with potatoes, cheeses and vegetables. They reheat in minutes, work beautifully with pasta bake sauces, and kids love them too. They also make superb appetizers served with fun dipping sauces.

4) Tyson Diced Chicken Breast
I adore this frozen, fully cooked chicken. It is tender, flavorful, and ready in seconds. Try it in Santa Fe Chicken for a meal your family will love. It takes only 5 minutes to prepare. And you don't have to worry about food contamination, because the chicken is thoroughly and completely cooked then safely frozen. Try it soon.

5) Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry
Sure, you can make puff pastry from scratch - and I have. That's why I love Pepperidge Farm products. Their puff pastry is reliably good, so easy to use, and makes wonderful recipes. Use this fabulous product to make Tapenade Tartlets and Minute Apple Tart.
