Impulse Buy

Giada, Giada, Giada. 


Target always puts the gorgeous Giada stuff on the end of the aisle because it's all wonderful, beautiful, and expensive. 

We saw this pasta and the girls really wanted to get it so we did.


The verdict? 

It's tasty, extremely easy to twirl on a fork (even for kids), and every bite was full of sauce.

It's not whole grain, but it's good.

I will buy it next time, no impulse needed.  It'll be on the list.

yeah, the end caps at TAR-jay...DANGER ZONES.
I agree, that Giada stuff is GREAT. I stalked one of her bakers like I never stalked a baker before...I guess I never really have.
Anyway, I finally bought it. I had a great little red baker from Crate and Barrel that I loved but broke a handle off of months ago when I dropped an ENITIRE SHELF of glasses onto it, WITH the dish that was ready to be cooked in it. Chards of glass everywhere. IT was a total bummer.
aIt was $ well spent as I use it ALL the time.
All that to say, WOOHOO for fun pasta!!

Funny ... I impulse-bought this same pasta about a week and a half ago, and you're right -- it's fun! And tasty! And also on my regular-purchase list now.

I can't decide if that makes Giada friend or foe at the moment...
