And no secondhand smoke!<br />The frozen turkey meatballs are my favorite emergency dinner ingredient-with marinara and melted provolone on a roll they make the best meatball sandwich, or I'll slice onto a frozen TJ's cheese pizza or a la IKEA served plain with mashed taters.<br />Also, for mama's special night cheese moments, there's a new aged cheddar (called something like "really special cheddar"?) that's a cross between aged cheddar and really good parmesan.

My younger son isn't a big sandwich guy, so he eats the cereal bars at lunch. They love the granola bars as well.
