Birds Eye Steamfresh Wants to Feed Your gut!



Maybe making seafood is a tad intimidating if you are not a gourmet chef?  Maybe you are single and want a good, fresh, seafood meal for one? Recently, I was given the opportunity to try out a new product by the Birds Eye Company! Birds Eye's Steamfresh brand is a full line of microwavable, steam cooked foods including veggies, pastas, and complete meals.

Our family usually purchases Steamfresh veggie bags and the new Lightly Sauced Steamfresh bags, so I jumped at the opportunity to try this new product. Steamfresh Premium Frozen Seafood Meals for One come in several different varieties and are all fresh, raw seafood that must be cooked before eating! They are cooked in a neat parchment paper bag instead of plastic that allows the taste to stay in the bag and not float out with the steam!





I tried the Garlic Herb Shrimp variety. The package describes the meal as "Large, Succulent shrimp and a blend of broccoli florets, red and yellow peppers and onion strips o a bed of linguine pasta with garlic herb sauce." I have had frozen meals with shrimp in them before and they seem to either come out over cooked and rubbery or undercooked and yucky! Not the Steamfresh shrimp though! I am thoroughly impressed with the whole meal! My shrimp, pasta, and veggies where perfectly cooked. I really am not a broccoli fan so I was not sure that I would enjoy it, but I was wrong. The Garlic Herb Sauce has so much flavor that the broccoli was awesome. Honestly, probably the best broccoli I've ever had. The pasta was good to. What really impressed me is that the herbs in the sauce look as though (and I'm sure they are) actually fresh herbs and not dried, spice can kind herbs. You can actually see the herb pieces in the saw. See the picture of the finished product below!



I would definitely purchase Steamfresh Seafood Meals for my family. They are soo good! Lucky for you pig, Birds Eye is generously offering 2 readers coupons to try out the new Steamfresh Seafood for One meals for FREE! Thanks to Steamfresh for being such a great sponsor!

I would like to see more healthy products, like vegetables without sauces, available in single serving sizes.

Traumajunky said...

I hate carrots and it really irritates me to buy a frozen meal (from any company) and it is full of carrots. They are cheap and filler, I get that but paying $6 for a frozen meal and it's full of carrots and not other veggies really steams me! Thanks for letting me vent!

clynsg said...

I really like the steamfresh line of foods. Between the 2 stores that I shop in, I can find most of the ones I like. The biggest problem is that because I use coupons, and many of the ones I get now are printed from my computer, one of the stores does not accept computer printed coupons.

these products are great but for a family of five there isnt enough in one pouch and there is to much waste doing two bags so coming up with something in between would be great

I'd love to see meals like the steam fresh that are kid friendly. I'd love the shrimp...but I don't know about my little ones. Thanks!

Kimberly L said...

My family and I love Birds Eye Steamed fresh veggies, and all the different varieties offered. One thing that we would like to see - is some pasta,roasted garlic and eggplant type of dishes.

I am a soccer mom of 6 and we are always on the go. I like to see products available in the super market that do not take too long to make, because we don't have a lot of free time for that, but also that don't take away from the nutritional and appetizing aspect of the foods as well. I don't like to have fast food too often so these fresh meals seem like the way to go for my family and I. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

ky2here said...

I like their products however I would make two changes:

- decrease sodium content, WOW!
- change number of servings per package, this isn't more of a problem for Steamfresh but I'd love to see people's faces if that is all they get for dinner.

I love to buy healthy vegetable products for my family. I hope Birds Eye will promote healthy food items. It is hard to get children to eat vegetables. I don't know what Birds Eye can do to get children to eat their vegetables but children need alternatives to the same bland vegetables that are being marketed. garrettsambo@aol.com

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.

The Parlay System is one of the most famous of betting systems that are commonly used in horse racing. Many have said that contrary to other sports betting systems, the Parlay System has a pyramiding effect on your profit which means your winnings are played on successive wagers.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]free sports betting[/url]
It appears that the United States legal system is closer than ever before to cutting off ties with any type of online gambling within its boundaries. This includes poker, casinos, and sports betting among others. Generally speaking, anything that has to do with transmitting money via the internet as far as gambling is concerned is being cracked down on quite harshly.

From the above, therefore, you can see that finding a good Selection System and sticking to it is the only way to go if you are truly serious about making money at sports betting.
