Winn Dixie King Cake GIVEAWAY {and Tiff's Deals Review}

Local New Orleans Winn Dixie stores are baking KING CAKES for the Mardi Gras Season and the TASTE is great!

So in my quest to try out King Cakes this Mardi Gras season, I was given the opportunity to try a King Cake from Winn Dixie!  And I am doing a KING CAKE GIVEAWAY for one too (scroll down to enter below)

When browsing for the perfect king cake, the first thing I had to decide was which flavor to choose.  There were soooo many options to choose from:

Cinnamon (regular) - Cream Cheese - Chocolate - Strawberry - Apple - Praline Pecan - Blueberry - Lemon - Raspberry - Pineapple - Bavarian - Cherry - and more!

AND THEN they take those flavors and combine some of them - like STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE and APPLE CREAM CHEESE! Although I am sure the combined flavors available vary by store - they seem to always have cream cheese combined with something amazing!

When I visited the Winn Dixie in Mid City, I was in for an extra special treat that day as CHEF STALLONE was in town and I was able to talk king cake and groceries with him!

 One of the most interesting facts I learned was that Winn Dixie does not bake King cakes in a central location and then drop them off at stores - EACH store bakes and makes their own king cakes DAILY! So they are truly FRESH baked in store!

Chef Stallone also explained how Winn Dixie selects QUALITY ingredients for not only their king cakes, but all the items made for the store brand groceries! We also talked about drive-thru daiquiri shops and beignets (he was visiting from Florida so the necessities of a NOLA trip), but then we got back to business and got to picking out KING CAKES!

With Chef's help, I selected two of the NEWEST flavors that Winn Dixie offers this year - BOSTON CREME and STRAWBERRY BRIOCHE! See below for my taste test reviews!

TIFF'S DEALS KING CAKE REVIEW

STRAWBERRY BRIOCHE - This king cake is cut in half and filled with A LOT of strawberry filling! If you are the time of person that likes the end piece of cake with all the icing, then this king cake is for you! And the fresh strawberries swirls on top is the icing on the cake (pun intended!)

******************************

BOSTON CREME - This king cake is for the CHOCOLATE lover...in lieu of regular icing, its chocolate with a creme filling - super moist and great tasting! As a choco-holic this is my favorite! I It was a great breakfast treat (no judging - it's Mardi Gras so calories don't really count!)

So now you can ENTER TO WIN your own WINN DIXIE KING CAKE - see details below! LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER!

INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Containers {Tiff's Deals Product Review}

The below content is sponsored by US Family Guide.  I received a complimentary nesting food storage container set for Product Review.  My opinions listed below are 100% my own and 100% honest of my actual review of this product.

Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set  - Now you won't forget when to throw away leftovers and they won't spoil in your fridge anymore! Here is why:

• Instant vacuum freshness without pumps, motors or confusing parts; Simply press down on the lid and air is forced out via the one-way valve.  This is a cool feature.  However, if you drop the container onto the counter with a little force, the vaccuum seal opens...so just need to make sure to gently place the item in the fridge or the seal gives out and you have to reseal again.

• Patented valve removes excess air to reduce naturally occurring bacteria; It also releases pressure to prevent spills and splatters in microwaves.

• Wave pattern on bottom of each container keeps cut fruit and vegetables elevated from water and juices.

• Handy date dial allows you to record when food was first stored and monitor days kept in the refrigerator.  I do love the date dialer - super easy to use and saves me from eating old leftovers!

• BPA-free, stain-resistant, shatter-proof and as transparent as glass; Freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe; Satisfaction guaranteed.  Overall, I am satisfied with these containers! I like the sizes - they are perfect for a family size portion of leftovers!
