Disneyland in Anaheim California has some excellent counter service restaurants. Redd Rocket Pizza Port in Tomorrowland is one of my favorite places to eat at Disneyland. I’ve been to many of them and when I go back each year I tend to go to the same places since they …

I have enjoyed Batchelors Super Noodles since I was a kid, although I am convinced there is probably not much nutritional value to them. The other thing about them is that they are not very filling and I am sure to be hungry again an hour after having …

I’m not a complete stranger to the brand So Delicious. I was introduced to it by Aunt when she was visiting one summer, and she brought some of their products. She’s a real health nut and tends to stay away from dairy products. She’s not allergic but she tends …

Applebee’s riblets are small ribs that actually taste pretty good. The ribs are tender and easy to chew. That is important to me because I hate to chew tough meat. However, since I live in a town known for its tasty barbeque Applebee’s riblets are not the best, not …

Land O’ Lakes Cocoa Classics Hot Chocolate Supreme, for me, is the tastiest and most satisfying hot chocolate mix that I have come across in the grocery stores. In the dreary and cold winter months, this hot chocolate really does wonders for my spirits. The cocoa flavor is rich …

This is by far the best canned tuna fish I have ever purchased. It’s on the expensive side — the can I have is stamped $1.98, but I’m sure I didn’t pay that much. You can often get it on sale for $1.00 to $1.25 a can, which isn’t …

I used to buy these waffles before I switched over to the Kroger Multi-grain waffles. The reason I switched is because the multi-grain waffles are a little healthier for me. There really isn’t though any taste difference that I can notice between the buttermilk and the multi-grain waffles. Once …

Actually, when you look at the label for this food product, it says Mott’s Natural Apple Sauce & Vitamin C. I like to call it a more simple “apple sauce.”
For me, apple sauce goes back to my childhood and one set of my grandparents. When visiting them, …

It’s not always easy to find time to eat during the day. Some, more than others, find themselves rushing about day in and day out, and just need something quick to eat in between going from one point to the next. Hormel has a line of simple wraps designed …

While I definitely prefer the Oscar Meyer XXL Beef Franks over the Oscar Meyer Premium Beef Franks, these hot dogs are really not at all bad. By no means is this a perfect or near perfect hot dog, but I have definitely had much worse, like Nathan’s brand hot …
