Marie Callender’s Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce

Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls
I did not find anything all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls. I simply found them to be satisfactory and pretty much identical to the other pecan swirl treats sold by other companies. That is both a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because I …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Balsamic Garlic Chicken

Clancy’s Pretzel Rings
ALDI Food Market stores stopped carrying Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks a couple of months back and replaced them with Clancy’s Pretzel Rings. Now I liked the sticks because they were always fresh and salty, and I figured that although these pretzels were a different shape, they were still sold under …

Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar
These Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar variety are much, much more tolerable than the downright hideous chocolate variety that I simply could not possibly stomach. While I did just say they are much, much more tolerable, I did not say they were excellent, or even great. The powdered sugar …
Warm Delights
Since trying the Betty Crocker Warm Delights that first time, I’d have to say our family has gone through about 20 so far! And my hubby and kids are picky when it comes to baked treats!

Hunt’s Thick and Rich Original Premium Pasta Sauce

I find the Ragu sauce to be very watery and it tastes just like mushed up tomatoes, with little in the way of spice and flavor, while the …
Marie Callender’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Chewy Bars
I like having granola bars (or something similar) on hand in our house. This is both because they work great as part of school lunches and because it’s always nice to have something like that within easy reach if I don’t get time to have a big lunch and …
Sunnyside Farms Vanilla Sandwiches
You know, back in the day, I really loved a good ice cream sandwich. That’s because they really were wonderful. I’m not sure what brand they were back then. Maybe Crystal made them, or perhaps some other company, but somewhere in the last 25 years, sandwiches …

Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal
What’s not to like about Honey Bunches of Oats cereal? I love it! We bought Almond and Strawberry and both are delicious! The Strawberry was a little sweeter than the almond, but a bowl of half and half is amazing.
What I liked about it was the honey flavour accenting …
Bauducco Triple Chocolate Wafers

That said, the filling to wafer ratio of this biscuit was just perfect. …

Favorini Crispy wafer
When you like sweet stuff as much as I do people usually think that it is easy for you because you like everything that has chocolate or some kind a sweet cream in it. But it isn’t so. I like sweet but not too sweet and I like cookies …
Gerber Graduates lil’ entrees for toddlers
While I avoid the isle in the store with the specialized individual sizes for toddlers I will gladly accept them when someone else buys them for me. I’m afraid they aren’t something that regularly fits into my budget. Recently I was given two for my daughter because a friends …
