Rice cakes, when they first came out, used to be dry and flavourless - something like eating paper. Now, rice cakes are no longer so dry, and definitely not flavourless. The savoury tomato & basil rice cakes from Quaker boast of 0 trans fat, 1.5 g fat, and 50 …

Lipton Ice Tea: Green Tea
I don’t usually drink green tea, either the bottled kind or the one that I would need to brew myself. It seems too bitter for my taste, and instead of quenching my thirst, leaves me wanting something else to drink. I had tasted a selection of bottled green teas, …

I was so carefull in my family’s health. I never trusted any brand of water. When i say distilled it must have to be Wilkins. I definitely understand the process and where it came from, all the minerals that our body needed is found in this bottled of Wilkins …

I�ve tried quite a few brands …

The Snack Factory - Buffalo Wing Pretzel Crisps
The Snack Factory - Buffalo Wing Pretzel Crisps did not impress me all that much. I do like spicy seasonings on foods, but apparently, spicy seasonings do not belong on pretzels, according to my taste buds. From the first crisp that I tried to the last out of the …

Little Debbie 100 Calorie Cookies & Creme Cakes

Steak ‘N Shake Fish Sandwich
I love the Fish Filet sandwich at McDonald’s but my waistline suffered the consequences. It doesn’t have any fresh vegetables and has three artery-clogging ingredients —“ cheese, fried fish, and tartar sauce. I wanted to see if there was a better fish sandwich out there that was …

Blue Bunny Doubles Ice Cream Bar Smores
It is a real shame. These Blue Bunny Doubles Ice Cream Bar Smores could have been a pretty tasty treat, but unfortunately, the ball was dropped by Blue Bunny here. The main complaint that I have is the marshmallow flavor is really not that strong. It is actually on …

I was looking for a quick lunch Saturday afternoon and ended up running up the street to Walgreens to purchase a single-serve sized Stouffer’s Meat Lasagna. I have had these in the past and, for the most part, will confess I’m getting a
bit burned out on them. But, they do …
