Time for another giveaway. This one is sponsored by Pillsbury for their Honey Butter Biscuits.

If you’re craving a more fulfilling breakfast to start your day Pillsbury says these easy to bake biscuits are a great new option for a warm, hearty breakfast that you and your whole family will love!

So after a generous donation (coupons and a butter dish) from the Pillsbury people we gave these biscuits a test drive one morning.

First the details…

For the allergy conscious these biscuits are not soy, milk, or wheat free. Hence I myself could not eat them and had to rely on my only too happy family for the results.

My little four year old and husband easily laid out the 8 biscuits to bake in the oven. They baked up very quickly but not very high. If you ever make biscuits by hand you know how high they can rise. These maybe gained half of their original height.

I had also received some Peach Melba jam for my birthday (another post) so we decided to pull that out. Mistake…

The name of the biscuits are Honey Butter so anything else that is sweet (such as the jam) is not needed nor recommended. My daughter loved them. Bread is her forte. My husband thought they were a little sweet. Since I bake most all of our breads from scratch they could of course taste the difference.

We also pulled out the butter dish, a gift from Pillsbury, that was also not needed. The biscuits had a butter taste (and it is listed in the ingredients). My family relayed this information to me.

My husband thought they were okay.  But he felt that some meat (he’s a meat man) inbetween these would be a good thing. He said they were sweet but they tasted okay. He’s not a bread person but he could eat these with some meat. His words.

Since I could not taste them I had my aunt stand in for me. She felt they were too sweet and did not want sweet in her biscuits. She also immediately put butter on them and then regretted that as they already had butter in them. All in all she passed on them.

As I said my daughter loved them. She ate her’s plain and wanted more. She also wanted them the next day. Hmph! So much for my baking from scratch!

All three testers are sweet tooths. My husband likes things that most people usually don’t like sweet, sweet (rice, broccoli ick). My aunt likes candy, cake etc. My daughter likes cake and cookies as much as the next child, we’ve never fed her candy and she will pass up all of the above for fruit especially a banana.

Giveaway

So one lucky winner will received a prize package containing two coupons for free cans of Honey Butter Biscuits along with a butter dish and knife (see pic) from Pillsbury.

Good grief! Aren’t they cute?!!!

Do you wait all year to some big shopping the day after Thanksgiving? I don’t. Seriously I do not but sometimes it happens that I need to buy something and I’m thinking of buying the thing and where I’m going to get it when I notice that, “Oh wow! I can get it at a great cost as such and such a shop!”

Here I have lovingly listed for you, using my affiliate links, some places where I shop for the men in the family. I find them to be without a doubt the hardest group of people to shop for. We do not exchange gifts this time of the year but I still find it a great time to  take advantage of the sales for future Father’s Day and birthday celebrations.

Sears: This is the place I get my husband’s tool gifts. You know Craftsman. I’ve been focusing on the storage aspect. This time of year you can get some great deals on Craftsman Tool Storage. For me Sears has always meant tools and the nice thing is you can order some items online and pick them up in the store.

ThinkGeek.com: Okay some of the stuff has been over the top but I pick up nifty little gadgety things for the men folk. And by the way I do my Father’s Day shopping here. Right now at you can get Free FedEx Home Delivery. Use code: DEALNEWS
