Weight Watchers Smart Ones Chicken Carbonara Frozen Dinner

This dinner basically combines linguine, chicken pieces and turkey bacon bits and a sauce made with Parmesan cheese. …
Knorr Pasta Sides Cheesy Cheddar
“Cheesy Cheddar” is just another name for macaroni and cheese, in my opinion. That’s essentially all this Pasta Side is. The rotini pasta is simply soaked with a rich, cheddar sauce. That’s all I taste in this pasta side is the cheddar sauce, and it’s a mighty strong sauce …
Yum Yum All Dressed Chips

Applebee’s Riblets
Applebee’s riblets are small ribs that actually taste pretty good. The ribs are tender and easy to chew. That is important to me because I hate to chew tough meat. However, since I live in a town known for its tasty barbeque Applebee’s riblets are not the best, not …

I must say, I do not care for Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Chunk Cookie as much as I do for the other premium chocolate varieties made by Blue Bunny. The reason is I do not like the chocolate chunks used in this ice cream. It is not …

Like many of us who could stand to lose a few pounds, I’ve always been on the lookout for a new exercise routine or weight-loss alternative. However, I’ve always been a bit sceptical about diet fads such as protein shakes and bio-yogurt, so I wasn’t expecting much when a …
