Kellogg’s Eggo Bake Shop Swirlz
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008
Hmmmm – doesn’t a cinnamon pastry with filling and icing baked inside sound delicious? I was sold when I brought home Kellogg’s Bake Shop Cinnamon and Swirls – the latest frozen breakfast selection to hit the market. The size of the pastry looked decent, not as small as other breakfast items I’ve encountered. To cook […]

Emerald Wasabi Flavored Oven Roasted Peanuts
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
I love wasabi…with its tingle-your-throat flavorful vapors that burn the nose with random rushes of intensity. So, when I happened upon wasabi-flavored peanuts by Emerald, I was excited. However, the product falls flat. About every fifth nut, a taste bud teaser that reminds you of wasabi is detected, but nothing like the real thing. The […]

Licorice Root Tea
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
My first time sampling licorice root tea and I am pleased! Thanks Culinary Teas for a wonderful first impression! The brew is sweet yet sassy - if that makes any sense. Out of curiosity, I took a piece of the tea and chewed it. Wasn’t too bad but definitely tasted like it would give […]

Tomatoes – A Lesson Learned
Friday, September 26th, 2008
So, I decided to use an assortment of ingredients found in my refrigerator to create an impromptu salad. As I gathered a cucumber, two apples, carrot, green onions, and tomato – I noticed on the package of tomatoes that it said “do not refrigerate.” I never noticed that before. I called up my father to […]

With hints of honey jasmine and ginseng, Arizona Mandarin Orange Green Tea is a fruity hot tea treat that comes sealed in one of the most attractive packaging get-ups, don’t you think? A sniff of the tea bag before brewing will get you in the right state of mind to enjoy the uplifting oranginess. Usually, […]

Pom Tea – Pomegranate Lychee Green
Sunday, September 21st, 2008
While on the hunt for tasty, low-calorie beverages, I came across Pom Tea and was curious as to just how a pomegranate green tea tastes. Pouring my first sample, I noticed a shade of light cranberry liquid dash into my glass. My taste buds soon encountered a tarty yet refreshing mixture of gently brewed green […]

Splenda – Flavors for Coffee – Hazelnut
Friday, September 19th, 2008
I’m always looking for new ways to enhance my coffee and cocoa, so when I saw Splenda – Flavors for Coffee, I decided to give it a try. The packets are extremely small, yet deceiving because they do deliver a pleasant taste. I chose Hazelnut to sample because it is one of my favorite flavors […]

Quaker Rice Cakes
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
Quaker Rice Cakes seem to have been around forever, and I vaguely remember turning my nose up at them as a kid. What’s a child to do when Oreos are calling your name? However, as an adult – I’ve grown to appreciate the low-calorie, filling snack that helps tide me over until lunch or dinner. […]

Pumpkin Soup
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
Doesn’t the name just pique your curiosity? Well, I found this recipe in Holly Clegg’s Trim & Terrific book and decided to test out the concoction. I must admit, before the ingredients were allowed to simmer – I thought I had wasted my time. An early sample of the unheated soup proved unappealing. However, in […]
