Betty Crocker Potato Buds Review & Giveaway

October 29, 2010 By Mandy

Spread the love

With the weather getting cooler, there is nothing better than comfort food.  One of my favorite comfort foods is mashed potatoes.  My grandmother always made them homemade and they were so good.  Like many women, I don’t always have time to make homemade mashed potatoes, but Betty Crocker’s Potato Buds are just as good when I need a quick side dish for our meals.

Right now you can print a coupon for .55 cents off one package of Betty Crocker Potato Buds as well as visit www.bettycrocker.com and www.liveglutenfreely.com for some great recipes, like this Cheesy Broccoli-Potato Soup or Beef Pot Pie with Potato Biscuit Crust.  Those definitely count as comfort foods in my book!

Be sure to follow Betty Crocker on Twitter and “Like” the Facebook page to keep up with all of the latest news on your Betty Crocker favorites

    My grandma clipped a recipe from the newspaper YEARS ago (in the 1950’s), and the headline is “When you have the ladies for lunch” which is funny to me because it sounds like you are eating ladies for your lunch, but it’s creamed chicken on cornbread. It’s simple and I love it.
