We purchased a 4 lb bag of Purely Frozen Organic Broccoli Florets to try from Costco. The 4-pound bag came in four 1-pound bags. We cooked one of the bags of broccoli following the microwave instructions. The instructions stated to microwave on HIGH for 5-6 minutes, and we went with 5 minutes.

The taste of the broccoli was fine... just like regular broccoli. However, the texture of the broccoli was a little on the soft and mushy side, and there was a lot of excess moisture from being frozen. The next time we had some of this broccoli, we tried microwaving it for 4 minutes, and it was still a little frozen... so perhaps the perfect cook time in our microwave is about 4 1/2 minutes.

We've noticed that Costco stopped carrying Isabella's Chicken Enchilada Bake a while ago and started carrying Isabella's Chile Verde Enchilada, instead, so we decided to try some.

We cooked it using the microwave instructions on the back.

The chile verde enchilada had a very nice and balanced savory green chile taste and aroma. It definitely made me feel like I was eating Mexican food.

The texture of the tortillas with the chicken was also good, however, I didn't like the texture of the cheese. Whenever I got a bit of the cheese, it was like mush and not in a good way. I ended up having to scrape the cheese on the top off to enjoy the enchilada. If the cheese wasn't so mushy, it would have been pretty good.

REVIEW – Penne all’Arrabbiata from Whole Foods (Frozen)

My boyfriend's parents had bought some Chickenless Crispy Tenders from Trader Joe's so I ended up trying some of them.

My boyfriend's mom bought some frozen Penne all'Arrabbiata from Whole Foods. Similar to Trader Joe's Penne Arrabbiata, the pasta comes combined with the sauce, and it's easy to follow the microwave instructions.

The penne pasta was a little hard and on the al dente side. The sauce was a little on the sweet side for me, and it had a garlic-y taste.

It was OK overall, but I still prefer Trader Joe's Penne Arrabbiata to this one.
