Super-fast skillet supper
Ease the summer supper-time crunch with a bagged skillet meal for two, perhaps Chicken Tikka Masala or Butternut Squash & Sage Ravioli, from Evol Foods. The six-item line also includes Uncured Bacon Mac & Cheese and Grilled Chicken Parmesan. Ten minutes of skillet cooking time readies them for the table. The squash-and-cheese-filled ravioli were tasty with tomato-kale sauce plus sage, nutmeg and garlic seasonings. Teriyaki Chicken, with brown rice and crisp vegetables, delivered good flavor, too. Suggested retail price: $7.99 to $8.49. Store locator: www.evolfoods.com.
Now this is a stretch
Struggled wrapping a melon half or grapefruit with, say, plastic wrap or foil? CoverBlubber by Fusionbrands may offer an intriguing solution. Made from a stretchy food-safe, BPA/phthalates-free StickyRubber, CoverBlubbers come in several sizes. They work in the refrigerator or freezer, but must be hand washed and are not microwave safe or heat resistant. Suggested retail price: $4.95 to $9.95. For a store locater or to buy: surlatable.com.
Well-spiced slices
Kick up your sandwiches with some of the seven flavors in Deli Fresh Bold lunchmeats from Oscar Mayer. Thinly sliced meats we enjoyed included Italian Style Herb Turkey Breast, Cajun Style Turkey Breast and Chipotle Seasoned Chicken Breast, all coated with seasonings (garlic plus assorted herbs, chilies and peppers depending on the flavor) before slicing. A 2-ounce serving (about six slices) weighs in at 50 to 60 calories. Suggested price: $3.99 for 8 ounces; $5.99 for 1-pound. At supermarkets nationwide.
