Meadowfresh Lemon and Coriander Houmous

Tango Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts

Entenmann’s Cinnamon Swirl Buns
I much prefer the cinnamon swirl buns with raisins compared to Entenmann’s 8 Cinnamon Swirl Buns. The reason for my preference is twofold. First of all, I like raisins, so naturally, I would prefer the variety that actually contains raisins. Second of all, the raisins gave the bun some …

Santa Fe Enchilada Bowl: Amy’s Frozen Dinner

Pop Weaver Butter Popcorn

Oscar Mayer Wieners with Turkey, Pork & Chicken

Buehler’s Gourmet Break ‘N Bake Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cup
