My sister-in-law and I were trying a couple of brownie mixes, and we had already tried Betty Crocker’s Hershey’s Supreme Brownie Mix with Walnuts, and they were the most delicious fudge walnut brownies I have tasted in my life and get this —“they’re only a mix and that delicious …

It has the same ingredients with all other Beng-Beng variant, with one biggest difference. As it is called, this new product …

Aunt Jemima Frozen Buttermilk Waffles are just as good as Eggo waffles. In fact, if I were served one plate of Eggo waffles and one plate of these waffles, and I was not told which was which, I would not be able to tell which was which brand. As …

I first bought this brand of banana chips thinking that it was actually the brand “Nices.” Thinking about it now,the company who makes “Extra Nice Banana Chips” has a pretty good marketing strategy since their packaging and name is very very similar to “Nices Banana Chips.” However, it is …

These crisps aren’t bad, but they really don’t stand out in any significant way. Sure, they’re real crispy, but the crispiness of the Wheat Thins isn’t as important to me as the flavor is. These Wheat Thins are supposed to offer a blend of onions, red peppers, celery, tomatoes …

The Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips Salad is easily my favorite of the Chick-fil-A salad offerings. A main reason is because in this salad comes my favorite kind of chicken: the kind that has a crispy, seasoned, exterior. At least Chick-fil-A prepares these strips in peanut oil, so they are a little …

This is a very simple frozen meal, to be sure. I can’t even really say that it’s a meal even because just the amount of pasta that comes in a package isn’t sufficient to fill me up. When I had this frozen meal, I added a salad that I …
