My Shake ‘N Bake Tofu! (Giveaway – 5 Winners)

CONTEST CLOSED!

COngratulations Darla, Rachel, Susan, Kelly, Emily!

When I was approached to give Shake ‘N Bake a try, my reaction was “What?”. Now, crucify me if you like but I had never heard about Shake ‘N Bake. Maybe it had something to do with me not being born here or maybe the fact that I am a vegetarian may have something to do with it. Either way a product with a picture of a chicken on in was not something I would have even considered. Though the product is vegetarian it is aimed at being a coating for chicken. Knowing full well I was vegetarian I was asked whether I could make a vegetarian dish out of it and I was certainly up to a challenge.

It was a little more difficult than I anticipated:

What I liked:

• easy. really it was.
• It expected baking so slightly healthier option.
• It was vegetarian so I could use it for anything.
• It came with 2 separate packages, so less wastage.
• It comes with the plastic bags for doing “Shake ‘N Bake”
• It actually tastes good.
• I used a grilling oven and it worked just great.

What I didn’t:

• Maybe I am not used to using something pre-spiced but it felt saltier than I would make something.
• The item to be coated needs to be quite moist to hold the “crumbs” together. They do note to wet the “chicken” but since I was using tofu I did not think I needed to (it being pretty “wet” for those not familiar with tofu) but I did need to.

Want to win the Shake ‘N Bake? Actually you can win 2 boxes of the product. Hmm, let’s make it exciting and have 5 winners (2 boxes each)
