I just love cashews, they are my favourite nuts ever and I only ever once had the pleasure of trying a Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Granola Bar from a co-worker. It was very delicious and definitely a different flavour from the Cashew Nut Granola Bar.
Well, I was …

Ready Brek has been one of my favourite cereals since I was a child, especially in Winter. The TV advert would show people with glowing tummies keeping them warm because of the warm Ready Brek inside them and that always appealed to me. This is an oat …

I find these Little Debbie Fall Marshmallow Treats to be pretty tasty and even borderline addicting! The marshmallow flavor is quite rich and scrumptious, but because I like marshmallow, my opinion might be somewhat biased. The marshmallow flavor also tastes quite authentic in its flavor, and that is always …

I’ve been a vegetarian for quite a while and because of that I know how many foods contain gelatin. I have learned to check the labels and ingredients lists and it’s crazy how many foods actually have gelatin hiding in them. It’s different yogurts, chewy candie, gummy bears, chocolate desserts, …

Recently I was introduced to my first experience with gelato at a work party. As a treat my boss purchased lunch, plus the gelato from Publix. I was hesitant at first because I had never had gelato and didn’t even know if it was like ice cream. However, I …

I look forward to having these tasty and nutritious waffles for breakfast in the morning. Perhaps nutritious is too generous of a word, but the waffles are a good source of ten vitamins as well as nutrients and minerals as a result of the waffles being multigrain. Ten come …

These muffins are a hit with my kids. Both my one-year-old and my seven-year-old enjoy them, and I have to admit to sneaking some when they are not around.

The taste of the chocolate is …
