Our Dr. Oetker experience and a giveaway

*****Giveaway closed*****


Well, we have decided that we like Dr. Oetker!  Until December I had never really tried them; I never bought them from the store, so if they came to the house it was by another method (probably a gift).  I never took much notice.  However, I will be on the look out for good sales and coupons in the future!

My girls love to bake and create and serve our family.  The three oldest girls are 9, 8 and 5 years of age.  K (9) can follow almost any basic recipe with verbal directions and help.  She finds baking from a box really easy, too easy almost.  So these weren’t really a challenge for her.  However, she thought they were really cool.

Some of the things we tried were a pancake shaker, muffin shaker and a number of flavors of mousse.  Our #1, top of the list, super duper favorite was the Chocolate Mousse.  To. Die. For.  The other mousses were good but Dr. Oetker did something amazing with the chocolate one.  I liked the pancake shaker because even though there wasn’t quite enough to go around for a supper, the pancakes were a great afternoon snack for my kids that they could make themselves.

I love to foster independence in my kids and Dr. Oetker allows for that.  I guess the “slogan” in our house could be: “Dr. Oetker: The Do-It-Yourself Food”

So, can you tell that we liked these products?  Well, we think you will too and Dr. Oetker is offering a giveaway for one lucky Canadian reader.

My favorite would have to be the Lava Cakes. We have so much fun making them and my son just loves to use the whipped topping to make them extra special for dessert!
