Even though I am all for eating low fat foods, I have found that ice-cream is one treat that just does not taste good in a low-fat form. I have tried low-fat, fat-free and calorie-reduced ice-cream, as well as frozen yogurt, and they just do not taste remotely the …

I have tried Great Value Mandarin Oranges for the first time, and I am surprised at how good they are. I expected an okay dessert, but these are simply delicious. The whole segments of mandarin oranges, nicely peeled, taste almost like fresh ones, only they are more tender. None …

I tried Simply Orange for the first time recently. I’m not a big orange juice drinker. I never liked pulp, but my parents did, so that’s probably why I shied away from it. Unless they purchased the pulp-free variety, which wasn’t available really until I was …

When you live in the Gulf Coast of the US (or even more specifically for me, Southeast Texas) you come to realize bread is important. From Poboys to Muffalatas and everything in between there is a “sandwich culture” here like you wouldn’t believe. That being said, you still can …

Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry/Banana is a simply scrumptious variety that could be even better if one thing was done: the banana flavor needs to be intensified a little bit and the strawberry flavor needs to be reduced a little somewhat. As it stands now, the flavor combination is a …

I saw an item on the menu at taco bell. The item was called the Cheesy nachos. I figured with the word cheesy, they have to be at least somewhat good. I was wrong completely. When I got the nachos, it wasn’t even nachos. It was some tortilla chips …

Wendy’s 3/4 lb. Triple Burger with Cheese is just too much meat for me! I tried this burger just once and after I was done, I just felt so bloated. I even had a little trouble taking bites into this sandwich because it was so thick. I also found …

Another item my wife and I ended up buying at Save-a-Lot (well, actually, I was the one who picked them out when she wasn’t looking) was Dianora’s Mini Pizzas.

Green tea is said to help people lose weight. I drink three to five cups of hot tea a day and have never seen this statement to be true. I am not sure how many cups you are supposed to drink but I would think if it worked I would …

I’m probably a rarity in that I actually like instant coffee. I don’t have a coffee maker, so if I want coffee I have to use instant. I think that non-instant coffee is certainly better than instant, but in a pinch instant will definitely do.
I liked that this instant …

This cake mix makes a delightfully moist and pleasant tasting cake. It’s a cake mix that’s specifically designed for the Fourth of July holiday. The cake itself is white, but it has little colorful dots throughout the cake. The dots are red and blue, and the cake itself is …
