Basically, the Grilled Breakfast Sandwich consists …

Hot chocolate is one of the few things that makes the harsh, bitter cold of winter almost bearable. Snuggling up on the couch with a great big mug of hot chocolate is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Many of us have grown painfully accustomed to generic brands of gingerale that are essentially composed entirely of sugar, water, and molecules that may have once, at some point in their physical existence, resembled something that might have been classified as ginger.
Reed’s ginger ale (achohol-free), though slightly more expensive, …

Another of my favorite cereals is Kelloggs Honey Smacks Cereal. This was one I always loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult. About the only bad thing about this product is that I like to eat it more as a snack, and it’s messy …

I don’t like cooking much. As a matter of fact I don’t even know how to fry or how to cook rice (so much for my womanly duties). I always stay away from the kitchen but I do watch alot of cooking shows both local and international (I especially …

While looking at the ice cream aisle this week, I saw Snickers Minis Ice Cream Bars, a product I didn’t even know they made. Well, I knew they made or used to make full size bars, but I haven’t bought those in a very long time and haven’t …

Trails End popcorn is something my son’s boy scout troop sells every fall. It is how they make most of their money for summer camp and other scout functions during the year. It is very good popcorn. My favorite is the chocolate caramel crunch. The only thing I don’t …

I had not even heard of peanut butter cheerios before but must admit that the thought has crossed my mind that there should be more peanut butter flavored cereals. So, when I walked in to Wal Mart I was so excited to see that my dream came …

So nothing special this time. Just the most popular peanut butter in the US. Maybe the second most popular, oк the third, I haven’t really checked the ratings. But for me, this is the best creamy peanut butter from the store so far. A few weeks ago I got on …

I like green tea very much but not the one you can make for yourself from tea bags because that one never tastes good, it is just too bitter and if you put a lot of sugar it becomes very sweet but still has that bitter after taste. I …
