Seeds of Change Organic Red Beans & Brown Rice with Corn & Peppers


 Seeds of Change Organic Red Beans & Brown Rice with Corn & Peppers is one of those products with a long name that I dislike because it makes writing a review harder. 

Past that, it's a fairly complicated rice dish that makes sense to be prepacked like this. This is any easy way to add some spice to a meal without a lot of work, and so I have to say it's a buy.

Pasta Roni Buffalo Chicken


 If the sinus clearing sting of buffalo chicken is what you're looking for look elsewhere. Pasta Roni Buffalo Chicken is not the bold flavored pasta equivalent to buffalo wings. Again, this is not to say that the dish is bad but rather that it is dumbed down to a taste that everyone can tolerate. 

I have to say, this stuff is okay if a bit of a disappointment.

First Street Chocolate Chip Muffins


 First Street Chocolate Chip Muffins are the kind of thing that fills the need but goes no further. I'll grant the ones I got were listed as 'reduced price for quick sale', but these were flavorless. 

This is not to say they were bad but rather that they just were. They fulfill the definition of Chocolate Chip Muffins, but go no further. I would say these needed more vanilla, yes you do put that in muffins, or perhaps some more salt. 

The point is that if you are having these with coffee it better be good coffee.

Inked Winter Wolf Keto White Bread


 With a good amount of fiber this Inked Winter Wolf Keto White Bread is still white bread for the most part. It's just white bread that is way better for you than normal white bread which is a good thing. 

I have to say that it is hard to go wrong with Inked Bread. You get what it says on the, bag and what it says is honestly impressive. This kind of quality does come at a price, however, so be prepared to pay more for this bread if you do find it for sale.

Frizil Tiger's Blood


 A gas station by my work sells these Frizil Tiger's Blood things and they are best had with a spoon. The top has the right blend of flavor to ice to chill you out of a hot day but the bottom is a bit rich. I'd say they don't taste like tiger blood, but I've never had tiger blood so for all I know it could taste like strawberry coconut.

In any case, I think these things rock. I will totally buy more of them. The are a burst of cold relief in a hot world that is burning itself to death.

Annie's Cheesy Rice Pizza


 Annie's Cheesy Rice is some kind of hippie product that is supposed to be good for you. Their Pizza flavor tastes nothing like pizza. I mean, pizza can take a lot of forms, and I guess there is some pizza that tastes like this. I think you could even spread this over pizza  and so make pizza taste like this. Still, if you are hoping for a cheese pizza taste you will be disappointed. Annie's Cheesy Rice Pizza is not bad nor is it very good, but rather something to make your meal a little more interesting. 

 Good try, now try harder Annie's.

Brainiac Kids Smart Smoothie Mixed Berry


 Brainiac Kids Smart Smoothie Mixed Berry is another flavor of yogurt that should help your brain. I think this is the better one for you containing both red and blue pigments that represent more nutrients but I can't say much for this stuff.

It probably is part of a good diet, but will not replace hard work for brain power. Just my thoughts.

Aunt Jemima Hotcake on the Go Buttermilk and Maple


They are retiring Aunt Jemima because she isn't woke enough for  the modern world and every time I talk about that I'm going to point out that this will not feed children. In this case, we should be feeding children who have really great tans, but that's not the point. 

In any case, her 'Hotcake on the Go Buttermilk and Maple' tends to settle a bit with all the flavor going to the bottom, and the top tasting like dough. This is still a fast way to get something hot in your guts for those pressed for time. 

I can't say it's great for you, and this should be had with fresh fruit or vegetables, but it is passable. I have to say I would not get these again unless I needed something fast and found them at a good price, but that's, because I need to try new things for this blog.

Izze Cherry Line Sparkling Juice


 Izze Cherry Line Sparkling Juice is very tart. I mean, you would never think this was soda because of the tartness and it has the same calories as some sodas. Not many, most of them have a good deal more, but this is very tart. 

I wouldn't try to get smashed adding vodka to this, but if you like your drinks dry it will very much work out for you. I don't find it refreshing, but I should be drinking water anyway.

Hamburger Helper Potatoes Stroganoff


 Hamburger Helper Potatoes Stroganoff features some of the worst potatoes I have ever had. They are tough and hard to eat. I have no idea how they made potatoes that nasty but they did.

Fail!

Applegate Black Forest Uncured Ham


 Applegate Black Forest Uncured Ham does not have the black forest look that is normal of the ham and it, well, hasn't much flavor. Not to say this is bad, it's just a bit mild for black forest ham. I mean, disappointing, yeah, but you won't think of it that much.

Dunkin' Breakfast Sandwich


 I was over at Dunkin' and tried a Breakfast Sandwich. I'm not sure which one because they didn't have the right stuff to make it but lets just say I paid five bucks for this thing and I feel a little let down. I wouldn't call it good or bad. It just kind of is.

 

I think Dunkin' should stick to the doughnuts, but I don't think they do any longer.

Birds Eye Five Cheese Lasagna


 Birds Eye Five Cheese Lasagna hasn't the cake like texture of lasagna and is a bit, well, American. The cheese is fine, what cheese there is, but there just isn't enough of it to make these a real five cheese lasagna. 

This is what happens when you try to take something indulgent and make it good for you. The result is a disappointment all the way.

Armour Potted Meat


 Armour Potted Meat looks like baloney you can spread over crackers. It tastes more or less salty and I would say makes an okay thing to drop in your lunch bag and take to work. 

I don't know about making it into a sandwich like on the can. I mean, that feels like a waist of time. This is the kind of thing you eat on the go, or have for a party.

If you have this at a party I would think you need to add something to it, but I don't know what.

Dunkin' Shamrock Macchiato


 Dunkin' has the 'Shamrock Macchiato' a mint flavored coffee drink that looks nothing like it's pictures online which are darker and greener. Moreover, what you get with this Macchiato is a big cup of ice. I mean, after I drank this bland brew of fattening goop I had so much ice left over I saved it for another day and another coffee drink. 

I meh at you Shamrock Macchiato.



M&M's Key Lime Pie


 M&M's Key Lime Pie is an acquired taste. These white "chocolate" things are not the kind of candy I would eat, but some folks who like Key Lime Pie would like them. So, there it is, do you like Key Lime Pie? If you do you should try these, and if you don't you should not.

JJ's Bakery Chocolate Pie


 JJ's Bakery Chocolate Pies are like any pie on the go option. I can't tell you why I love them so but I do. This is bad because I shouldn't eat them. 

Being the man blob really stinks. I need to lose some weight.

Colliders™ HERSHEY’S Mint Refrigerated Dessert


 Colliders from Hershey's are a yogurt sort of thing. I mean, I thought they were yogurt but it's not saying yogurt. 

Anyway, this is the mint version which looks much like, but is not as good as, mint and chip ice cream. 

After you get over the first disappointment these things kind of grow on you.  They were on sale, and so I got a stack of them and I kind of miss having them around. 

I can't say this is a must try, but this is a fine thing to toss in your bag for lunch at work.

Maplehurst Dream Bar Pie


 It's pie day and there is no more interesting pie than Maplehurst Dream Bar Pie. This thing has pecans, chocolate, coconut, and lots and lots of sugar. 

I have to admit that if I'm going to eat pie I would rather have good old pecan. Some folks really like this pie but it's rarity defines it in my opinion.

Birds Eye Riced Cauliflower Savory Herb

Birds Eye Riced Cauliflower Savory Herb is nasty vegetable slop. I mean very much that I can't taste any herbs unless by herbs they mean that some man named Herb left his mark on this blob of old vegetables. 

These are only okay if you mix them with something that doesn't taste like crap. Otherwise, you've got the nasty taste of vegetable burps on your plate.

First Street Swiss Sliced Cheese


 First Street Swiss Sliced Cheese is what one would expect from Swiss cheese. I would even go a little further and say that this is a little sharper than some of the Swiss I've had, but not as sharp as some of the deli Swiss. 

Good stuff, would buy again.

Twisted Peach Punch


 It's hard for me to express the size of one of these three hundred Calorie monsters, but when I drink a Twisted Peach Punch it feels like I've eaten a meal.

It's not like drinking a peach if that's what you're looking for, but I do have to say this is an interesting drink. I find it palatable, but I would chill it first and use ice.

Coca Cola Starlight


 They say they found a chemical cloud in space that tastes like raspberries and smells like rum, and that's what Coca Cola Starlight is supposed to be like. 

Yeah, the big thing about this is the odd gram cracker after taste which stays with you for a few seconds.  

Look, this is an odd product and I have to say it's worth trying. I do not have to say it's better than good old Coke, but then you should give it a try just to know what it's like.

Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies


 The Oreo Cooke has gone down hill since it's move to Mexico so I almost never have anything good to say about them. These peanut butter Oreo Cookies are not bad. I can say that after leaving them open in my kitchen I ate them all. 

This is no big thing because I'm a big fat dude, but I review so much junk food that I normally give my cookies away. Stop laughing, I do give my cookies away, honest.

McDonald's McCafe Blueberry and Cream Pie


 The McDonald's McCafe Blueberry and Cream Pie is a blueberry jelly cheesecake pie. It has no blueberry purple to speak of ... it may well have no blueberry to be honest but its' fine. I wouldn't say rich or even all that great but fine. 

Fat disgusting slobs like me should give this a no but if you're not fat like me it's a fine addition to your meal. Unoffensive and mild, I can recommend this.

The Conqueror Angkor Wat Virtual Challenge


 You too can go to majestic Angkor Wat and get bitten by bugs or eaten by tigers. Then again, you could just get The Conqueror Angkor Wat Virtual Challenge and plant some trees as you walk in the safety of places you know are safe. 

Look, tourists destroy things but virtual challenge takers plant trees and save thing so unless you have a really good reason to see this monument then stay home and get this thing, plant five trees like I did, and save the world just a little each day.

Sweet Smiles Swirly Pops


 Sweet Smiles Swirly Pops taste like pink bubblegum. I honestly got these to ship them to an orphanage in Mexico where I am told the children don't get much candy. I'm a fat monster who buys candy for orphans and these ship well.

McDonald's Surf and Turf


 McDonald's Surf and Turf is another of the menu 'hacks' put out to make you spend more money at the clown house. I really can't get my head around the idea of fish on a double cheeseburger, but maybe someone is trying to kill themself with salt. 

If you're not a fan of tarter sauce you will likely find this on the dry side so if you try it without the tarter sauce add more ketchup.

Still, I just can't recommend this.  

Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggie Made Spaghetti Style Marinara


 Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggie Made Spaghetti Style Marinara isn't bad. It isn't great, but it isn't bad. For something you can pop out of the microwave and onto a plate I think it's fine but you get that big bag with few noodles in it. Dinner for one.

Hormel Compleats Roast Beef & Mashed Potatoes with Gravy


 Hormel Compleats Roast Beef & Mashed Potatoes with Gravy doesn't feel all that complete. It feels like it needs pees or something. I don't know, perhaps corn. 

Well, aside from that this is a fine thing to keep around when you don't have time to make your lunch or for an emergency when food is not available. They came up in my search for MREs.

I'm not saying these are great but they are a solid addition to your cabinet, easy to open, and eat with a fork ready.

Fatso Almond and Seed Butter Classic


 You know you have a problem when your food is calling you Fatso. That problem is drugs and you need to seek help. 

Fatso Almond and Seed Butter Classic has a separation problem, and so I spent a good amount of time shaking this and moving it around before using it. I would recommend this for smoothies, but it will be messy in sandwiches.  

Then again, the bread I use here has all kinds of holes in it so it took the nut butter well. Stuff tastes okay, but is kind of a mess.

Brainiac Kids Smart Smoothie Strawberry Banana


 Brainiac Kids Smart Smoothie is not made of brains or kids. This is a disappointment, but then brains are fattening and kids are disgusting. Seriously, they would put anything in their mouth.   

Now the Strawberry Banana version of this just doesn't have much banana to go round. I find this to be okay, small, but they are made for children, and they are okay.
