I am a perpetual dieter and a person who loves to eat out. When they advertise healthier, low calorie meals at restaurants, I am one of the first to try them out. Recently I’d seen several ads for Applebee’s new menu items that had 550 calories or less, and …

I’d like to think that I am making an effort to follow a healthier diet but sometimes I crave chocolate like you wouldn’t believe. I fear that one day I will be caught red-handed and covered in chocolate like the tubby kid in Willy Wonka’s factory.

I just tried the new SouthWestern Crush Burger from Baker’s Square in Newark CA and I must say this burger is good it’s very good. I didn’t believe the hype at first, I was not expecting this burger to be this good. I was actually impressed. The SouthWestern Crush …

I’m not a huge hamburger helper meal lover. I’ve tried the no name hamburger helper meals and decided in the future I would pass. This one the Family Size Lasanga Hamburger Helper by Betty Crocker was actually pretty good.

To me, this spaghetti sauce almost tastes just like the Hunt’s …
