We have had Butterball turkey breast roasts during the holidays in the past, and they have always turned out great! The last couple of years we have bought Butterball turkey from Costco, which is where we got this 4.75-pound turkey breast from. The Butterball turkey usually isn't very dry (at least compared to other turkeys I have had.. but that could also be due to the way it's prepared).

When we cook the turkey, we usually just season it with sunflower oil or olive oil, and it comes out pretty tasty and tender!

The little gravy packet that comes with the Butterball turkey also works as a good gravy. It isn't the most delicious gravy ever, but it isn't lumpy or watery, and just using the directions on the packet works out fine.

We usually cook our turkey on a gas grill, and it takes about two hours to cook.

The 4.75 lb turkey is a good amount for 4 of us (four adults), and we usually have enough leftovers for a few more meals afterward.

REVIEW – Don Miguel Chipotle Chicken Flautas from Costco

Although the box says to refrigerate these chipotle flautas, we tried freezing them so they would last longer.

The flautas have chipotle seasoned chicken inside of a nice flour tortilla. The chicken has a light, somewhat salty chipotle taste. My favorite part is the tortilla. Even though the box says the tortilla is crispy, the tortillas are actually pretty soft after warming them up in the microwave. The only crispy parts are the ends of the flauta.

Even though there is sauce on the chicken, the chicken can still get dry very quickly, especially if you microwave one flauta for more than one minute or two flautas for more than two minutes (if they are warmed up from frozen). However, they are still a nice, quick food to have on hand.

REVIEW – Kirkland Signature Pepperoni Pizza from Costco (Frozen)

When I went to visit my dad this past weekend, we tried Costco's frozen Kirkland Signature Pepperoni Pizza because that was pretty much the only edible food in his house.

Although the box didn't say to put the pizza on a baking sheet or anything when placed in the oven, we decided we didn't want to put the pizza directly on the oven rack, so we put aluminum foil underneath it. Unfortunately, the aluminum foil bent under the weight of the thawing pizza and allowed the oils to seep out into the oven, resulting in lots of smoke and setting off the smoke detector.

So the next time we cooked another pizza (which happened to be the next day... since there was still nothing else edible at my dad's house) we were sure to put a baking sheet under the foil to make the pizza stay rigid so that the oils wouldn't seep out.

Both times we cooked the pizza, the pizza turned out pretty much the same. The second time it was more oily so we had to pat the top of the pizza down with paper towels to remove some of the oils, but it was still fine.

The frozen pizza tasted pretty good. It wasn't one of those disgustingly sweet frozen pizzas that I have had in the past. And I also really loved the little pepperoni bits!
