The Burger King Whopper is definitely one of my favorites. I get it with cheese because I’m a big cheese lover. With the Whopper, I think it starts with the meat. It’s flamed broiled goodness. When it’s warm it almost melts in your mouth. …

They call it the original — Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal. It’s certainly the most recognizable and purest of the Kelloggs family of cereals. My father loved this product tremendously. It was pretty much a staple in our cupboards as I grew up.
As for me, I wasn’t …

There is something about a Girl Scout cookie that I find highly addictive. In all honesty, their cookies are probably one of the few cookies that I will allow myself to indulge in on a yearly basis. Perhaps it is the fact that I can only purchase …
