Entenmann’s 8 Crumb Donuts

Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar
I do not have very many good things to say about Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar. About the only positive quality that this Lean Pocket has to offer is quality chicken. The chicken was pretty flavorful and tender, too. It was in very small pieces, but …

Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Racing Chocolate Cupcakes
Like with other treats made by Mrs. Freshley’s with a special seasonal name, pay no attention to the name because there is nothing special about the treats.

Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice
Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice is, quite frankly, terrible. Everything about this meal is incredibly mushy and, well flavorless. About all I tasted was salt and peas. This meal is positively loaded with salt, so if you are watching your sodium intake, watch out for this meal! The chicken …
Goldilocks Fresh Lumpia

Patio TV Dinners
I’ve had Patio frozen burritos before, and they weren’t bad, so I thought that the Patio TV dinners might be a good buy. They’re pretty cheap, considering that they only cost a buck a pop, so I figured, what have I got to lose?
Well, it turns out that …
