Dillman Farm - All Natural Plum Butter Fruit Spread

Real Leaf Green Tea Drink ( Lemon Flavor )
After being satisfied with Real Leaf’s Apple flavor, I became curious about their other varieties. This brand has only three flavors yet—-apple, lemon and lychee. They are limited compared to C2. They also do not have unflavored green tea which C2 has. This product is neatly packed and I appreciate …
Parati Minueto Chocolate and Vanilla Wafers

Fox’s Creams Golden Crunch biscuits

Stouffer’s White Meat Turkey Pot Pie

Whopper
The Burger King Whopper is definitely one of my favorites. I get it with cheese because I’m a big cheese lover. With the Whopper, I think it starts with the meat. It’s flamed broiled goodness. When it’s warm it almost melts in your mouth. …
Freschetta Thin Crust Chicken & Spinach Pizza
I mentioned in an earlier review that we bought a couple of pizzas from the Freschetta brand. I was unhappy with the first pizza, a so-called 10-topping pizza, but hoped I would enjoy the unique flavor of the other pizza we bought; a chicken and spinach pizza.
I was wrong …

Albertsons Half and Pieces Lightly Salted Cashews
