Much like the original Pringles chips improved the quality of potato chips by introducing non-greasy chips, Pringles has now once again improved the chip even more by enriching the crisps with multigrain.

I have tried several OnCor frozen food products, and our family likes them all: Lasagna, Salisbury steaks, and now these “barbeque ribs.” They are not real ribs, of course, which is clearly stated on the box: they are pork patties, shaped in the form of ribs, but they taste …

A few days ago I bought a container of this cereal from Target. I say container because it does not come in a box but in an oval stiff-sided contraption with a hard plastic lid. I admit to being attracted to the image of the cereal on the front …

My wife and I had leftover steaks last night and, since we didn’t have any sides leftover, decided to make some new ones.
One of the things we made was a bag of Birdseye Steam Fresh Vegetables; mostly because we are getting bad about not eating enough vegetables at dinner …

I’ve always loved pork. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals because there’s pork sausage, pancakes and scrambled eggs to be eaten. That’s definitely one of my favorite meals.
The big problem is that I don’t like making breakfast. This takes time, which I don’t always have. If it’s …

While these cookies are relatively tasty, I’m not really that wild about them. Oatmeal cookies are not my favorite kind of cookie, and so I don’t snack on oatmeal cookies as often as say peanut butter or chocolate, but there are times when I’ll be ready for something a …
