We all know that finding time to cook dinner can be challenging. Well Kraft is making this a little easier on all of us. It’s not your ordinary shake-n-bake, there is some flavoring to this mix. A blend of Kraft cheeses, and seasoned bread crumbs brings your chicken, fish or pork to life. It only took us 5 minutes to prep the meat before we put it in the oven!
- Thaw your meat.
- Open the Kraft Fresh Take package and mix the seasonings together.
- Coat your meat. (Kids loved doing this part)
- Bake your meat in the oven on 375 degrees.
We coated some tilapia filet’s in the Italian Parmesan mix and added a mix green salad with a raspberry vinaigrette and lunch was ready in under 20 minutes.
Kraft Fresh Takes comes in the following flavors:
- Southwest Three Cheese
- Rosemary Roasted Garlic
- Cheddar, Jack Bacon
- Italian Parmesan
- Savory Four Cheese
- Chili, Lime & Panko
You have a variety of flavors to choose from. Be sure to check the blog for a coupon. You can find Kraft Fresh Takes in the dairy aisle next to the cheeses.
Here are a few more ideas on way to use Kraft Fresh Takes:

- Season your mashed potatoes
- Coat your stuffed shells
- Spice up shrimp cocktail
- Kick up your salmon patties
- Coat your zucchini then bake instead of fry.
- Create a new spinach and artichoke dip.

I absolutely enjoying cooking, especially baking. The kitchen is a safe haven for me. My creativity begins to flow when I think about food and all the options that are available. Over the past few years I have been fortunate enough to have a kitchen that I can explore in. Which has left with the thought of ‘What to do?’ What should I include on my blog? This is my culinary journey and Lord willing the beginning of my bakery.
I have been asked to try out recipes and write a review, test out a new cake pan (Thanks to a member of the BRC) and even come up with a weekly menu. They are all great ideas that I am planning on doing in the very near future, but what else would you like to see on my blog?
