With many people recently jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon(myself included), there have been more gluten free options down the grocery aisles.

As one of the more common brands of instant ramen noodle, Maruchan’s main selling point is its low cost and great convenience. If you are on a budget, this will be the perfect meal. If you’re looking for something higher-fare then you’re probably better off looking elsewhere.

Moe’s Joey bag of Doughnuts Burritto
I’m not exactly sure why moe’s calls this burrito a joey bag of doughnuts. I somehow imagine it is some sort of inside joke, of refrence to a song or movie that I just dont understand. This burritto however is by far one of my favorites.
What it is is …

Healthy Choice Café Steamers Chicken Marinara
Who doesn’t love Chicken Marinara? That’s only if you’re not of this earth. Who doesn’t the combination of fried chicken breast with meaty spaghetti swimming in savory marinara sauce? It also seems like a travesty to “healthify” this satisfying dish but Healthy Choice has dared to …
