Mile Hi - New Things

As a  King Soopers   MyMagazine Sharing Network  Community Member, I'm going to write a short review of products I recently tried (samples were provided to me free of charge for being a community member). I tried: Kroger Brand Baking Nuts Kroger Brand Measuring Spoons Kroger Brand Canned Pumpkin I told my co-workers I was making some new fall pumpkin recipes. We had a potluck for the holidays where I made Pumpkin Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies. All the canned pumpkins taste the same to me. I like the baking nuts since they are chopped and easy to cook with. #MyMagazineSharing #FreeSamp

AL  - October 2018 Moe's Original BBQ (701 Spring Hill Ave, Mobile AL 36602) - A chain but different regions sell different foods. Pork Rinds Basket appetizer, Pimento Cheese n' Chips appetizer (to go), and Southern Fried Catfish Sandwich Meal. A very fried meal but tasted great! Original Oyster House (701 Hwy 59, Gulf Shores AL 36542) - A bit of a wait to get a table for 3 but well worth it. Fried Green Tomatoes, Homemade Seafood Gumbo, and Salad Bar Other snacks & gifts - Alaga Syrup, Pimentos, Pilleteri's White BBQ Sauce FL - October 2018 Red Fish Blue Fish (5 Via De Luna Dr, Pensacola Beach FL 32561) - Right on the water and live acoustic guitarist so a great ambiance Snapper dish and Mahi Mahi dish, corn on the cob, very delish. MS - October 2018 The Reef (1749 Beach Blvd, Biloxi MS 39531) - Another restaurant right on the beach, up on the 2nd floor deck overlooking the water; Gator and Pickle Bites appetizer, Catfi...

NOLA  - October 2018 The Old Coffeepot Restaurant (714 St Peter St, New Orleans LA 70116) - Coffee Pot Calas & Grits and Eggs Sardou. The calas were different but good, eggs benedict was great! Nice ambiance in the courtyard area.

NOLA  - October 2018 PJ's Coffee  (5432 Magazine St, New Orleans LA 70115) - Goal was The King Cake Protein Velvet Ice but apparently that was only seasonal around Mardi Gras. So I got a PJ's Original Cold Brew Iced Coffee instead. A chain but good stuff. Royal House (441 Royal St, New Orleans LA 70130) - Crawfish Benedict with a side of grits was very tasty. Parran’s Po-Boys & Restaurant (3939 Veterans Blvd, Metairie LA 70002) - Seafood Trifecta (1/3 fried shrimp sandwich, 1/3 fried oyster sandwich, 1/3 fried catfish sandwich *best*) dressed (mayo, lettuce, tomato). Chilly's Snoballs (3940 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie LA 70006) - Sampled a few and then ordered 8oz Douberge and 8oz Wedding Cake from the drive-thru. Toups Meatery (845 N Carrollton Ave, New Orleans LA 70119) - Boudin Balls to go Mother's Restaurant (401 Poydras St, New Orleans LA 70130) - Ham, Jambalaya, Red Beans & Rice Other snacks ...

NOLA  - October 2018 Café Du Monde (800 Decatur St, New Orleans LA 70116) - Café Au Lait and Beignets, only a 10 minute wait with some live music and well worth it! Commander’s Palace (1403 Washington Ave, New Orleans LA 70130) - Soups 1-1-1 (Turtle Soup, Creole Gumbo du Jour, Soup du Jour), Commander's Crisp Romaine Salad, and Creole Tostada; and, of course, a 25¢ Martini (does it really matter what kind!). No wait for lunch today. All of it was delish and worth the dress code.  Pat O'Brien's (624 Bourbon St, New Orleans LA 70130) - World Famous Hurricane! Antoine's Restaurant (713 St Louis St, New Orleans LA 70130) - Oysters Rockefeller - baked on the half shell with the original Rockefeller sauce created by Antoine's in 1889. Central Grocery & Deli (923 Decatur St, New Orleans LA 70116) - The Original Muffuletta Sandwich on a 9″ round Sicilian sesame loaf stuffed with ham, salami, provolone, and olive salad filled...

New Orleans  - October 2018 Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar  (739 Iberville St, New Orleans LA 70130) - 1/2 dozen Char-Grilled Oysters as an app (very good!), Crawfish Etouffee (good but wish we could see and taste these more), Fried Soft-Shell Crab Platter (good but weird eating the shell and guts). The intent was also to get Boiled Crawfish, but they were not in season since the waters were still too warm.

As a  King Soopers   MyMagazine Sharing Network  Community Member, I'm going to write a short review of products I recently tried (samples were provided to me free of charge for being a community member). I tried: Dove Dry Shampoo Garnier® SkinActive® Soothing Facial Mist with Rose Water Maybelline® Eyestudio® Master Precise All Day Liquid Mini Eyeliner Love Beauty and Planet™ Shampoo and Conditioner Dove Dry Shampoo is good for freshening up your hair in the morning or at night. Garnier SkinActive Facial Mist felt nice before or after makeup application. Seemed a bit unnecessary and felt nicer in the summertime than wintertime. Maybelline Eyestudio Liquid Eyeliner is dark and lasted all day. Love Beauty and Planet Shampoo and Conditioner left my hair feeling clean and smelling good and felt good being better for the environment. #MyMagazineSharing #FreeSamp

I tried: McCormick® Grill Mates® Bottle Blend Seasoning Keebler® Chips Deluxe® Cookies Lays® Jalapeño Chips Kleenex® Wet Wipes  I love summer and bbqing. McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning is good for chicken, steak, pork, or fish. I prefer steak with this type of seasoning. Lays Jalapeno Chips are a bit spicy but good. The Kleenex Wet Wipes are nice to wipe down my body after a hot day to clean up quickly before bed without showering. #MyMagazineSharing #FreeSamp

I tried: Kroger Kettle Cooked Nashville Style Hot Chicken Potato Chips  Kroger Frozen Naked Potato Skins  The Kroger Kettle Cooked Nashville Style Hot Chicken Potato Chips were flavorful and crispy. They weren't too hot for me but possibly for others. I might buy them again sometime. The Kroger Frozen Naked Potato Skins were good and didn't taste like a frozen product. I would buy the snacks again for a party or game at our house. #MyMagazineSharing #FreeSamp
