Nutrisystem Chicken Alfredo


Not going to waste your time.

It looks bad.  It smells bad.  It tastes worse.

If I had more thumbs, I'd give it more than two thumbs down.

Let me borrow yours...point them down...

*shudder*

Gu Chocolate and Vanilla Cheesecake

Okay...so while I am working on eating healthier...one still needs something real good for dessert every once in awhile...

I found these:


A little on the pricier side, BUT, you also end up with two glass ramekins.  So.  Work that into the price and it actually isn't expensive.

I have tried the chocolate and vanilla cheesecakes.  Which is the box above.

The name may be a bit misleading...because there isn't any chocolate cheesecake there.

It's a chocolately, buttery biscuit base covered in a smooth Madagascan vanilla cheesecake and our signature 53% cocoa Belgian chocolate ganache.

Oh...heaven.

My husband didn't think so.  He thinks the layers by themselves are great, but he didn't care for them together.

I think he's wrong, but I won't tell him so.  Since it comes two to a package, it means that a few days later, I can have the other one.  I don't have to share.

They also have: hot chocolate souffles...hot chocolate molten lava cakes...key lime pies...mango and passion fruit mini cheesecakes...and mini pots of chocolate ganache.

Which I thought was funny at first...but after tasting it on top of the cheesecake...yes please!  (oh, and you can make hot cocoa out of them...yup...i'll be doing that...)

You can check out their website HERE.

Giant thumbs up.

Quaker Popped Chips - Salsa Fresca

So...while trying to find some "healthier" munchies...I decided to try these out...


And I am so happy I did...because they hit the spot.

17 chips made a serving and I was happy with that.

Big thumbs up.

Crazy Apples Review

Here's a food review to make my daughters smile.

While in the grocery store, getting apples and grapefruits, I noticed a new product.

New to me...don't know if it's new to you.

And when I saw what it was, it made me raise my eyebrows and shake my head and wonder what in the world is next.  When on to get our apples, and then, went back, because I thought it would humor my children if I bought it and tried it.

Because they know I'm a bubble gum lover.

So I bought it.


And after it had properly chilled...and I remembered I had it...I ate it...


My verdict?

It was a hard crisp apple (how they all ought to be).

Every so often, I caught the essence of bubble gum, but in no way did this apple taste like bubble gum.


It tasted like a good apple.


No artificial taste...so I'm not quite sure what they did to this apple...

I wouldn't buy it again...even though I thought if I liked it, I might try the pomegranate/grape one.


But I'm not going to pay extra for the essence of pomegranate/grape.


Good apple.


Not worth the extra price.
