I love the Dreyer’s brand of ice cream. It tends to be rich and creamy the way I like it. Recently, I was in the mood for sherbet. I love orange sherbet, but only have it as a treat from time to time. I saw …

I tried this little jar of stir-through pasta sauce from the Sacla Italia range and whilst it is of a good quality and it is good value, it is not to my taste when it comes to tomato sauces. Whilst I find tomato is a lovely flavour, I …

OK, I admit I am a big sucker when it is about raspberry, I just adore them and I automatically think that everything with raspberry will be good too. I don’t have to tell you that I am wrong very often because mostly products on the base of raspberry …

I’ve eaten similar products to Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches, but not this exact one until now. Specifically, this is the ‘Meal Size’ version, which contains four croissant sandwiches to a box. These croissants are a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich.
