Ore-Ida Original Butter Homestyle Mashed Potatoes

Ore-Ida Original Butter Homestyle Mashed Potatoes don't taste very buttery or home made. Then, I'm not sure you would want home made tasting potatoes. My mother wasn't that great of a cook to be honest. 

Anyway, these are okay mashed potatoes. I think the point of them is just to exist and fill the void we need to fill with mashed potatoes. Most people put things on them anyway and do not scoop them up with artichoke leaves like I did here.

Bob's Red Mill Homestyle Granola Lemon Blueberry


 Bob's Red Mill Homestyle Granola Lemon Blueberry is as good as it should be. It is not so good as you cannot stop eating it, and it is good enough to be welcome when hungry. 

Granola is often too sugary and so not good for you. This is just good enough. The blueberries add flavor without being overwhelming and the seeds add texture. 

If this where in my bag on a hike I would be happy. I have always trusted Bob's Red Mill, but now that I think of it I should likely look deeper into them as a company. I hear they are a good company to buy from, and their products have never let me down. Still, I should be sure.

I'm a fat dude, I should know where my food comes from.

Southgate Homestyle Sausage Gravy

Southgate Homestyle Sausage Gravy could use a few lessons in gravy. For one, there is not enough sausage in that gravy. This gravy should be lumpy with sausage, or else it's just white gravy, and no one really likes that so far as I know. I mean, when was the last time you saw white gravy without sausage?

So, yeah, this stuff is under whelming. I'm not a big fan of biscuits and gravy, and this didn't turn me on to the idea. If you got really good biscuits this will work just fine. If not, then you need to add a little spice and sausage to this to make it work.

Farm Rich Flame Broiled Homestyle Meatballs

I'd like to see what home the maker of Farm Rich Flame Broiled Homestyle Meatballs because these are funny tasting for home style and have the texture of chicken McNuggets. Are they bad, no, they are passable, but not good. The meat is to, um, not meat like for that. 

These are meatballs for poor people and so you should be happy to have food if you're eating them. Otherwise, pay more for better meatballs, don't just put anything in your mouth.

Idahoan Au Gratin Homestyle Casserole


 Idahoan Au Gratin Homestyle Casserole is the kind of thing that sits in the back of your cabinet and then you make it and ask yourself why you got it in the first place. 

The potatoes are tough and the whole thing just isn't that great. I wouldn't get this again. I didn't know you could screw up potatoes until I had this, but I guess if you work hard enough you can screw up anything.

Banquet Family Size Homestyle Gravy & Sliced White Meat Turkey

Banquet Family Size Homestyle Gravy & Sliced White Meat Turkey is the kind of thing you buy and plan to have with other stuff. The gravy is a good thing, I guess, but that really means you need to have it with mashed potatoes.

The meat is low quality and there isn't that much of it for the size of the pack. As you can see it's sliced like cold cuts and small for a normal cut at that. 

All and all, I wouldn't go getting this again, but it tasted okay.

Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes


 Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes are,well, mashed potatoes. They don't taste much like butter. On the one hand, I love mashed potatoes, it's the Irish in me. Nothing is better to me than some colcannon and corned beef. 

On the other hand, the butteryniss of these leave much to be desired. If you're going to put the word on the pack then put the flavor in the food.

Ore-Ida Garlic Homestyle Mashed Potatoes

Ore-Ida Garlic Homestyle Mashed Potatoes are an interesting addition to my vegetables. For the most part that's what I do with them. I put them on steamed vegetables to make them more edible. You know what? It works. I can put those vegetables in the refrigerator, and eat them the next day without issue. With this I can steam more healthy food.

Jack in the Box Homestyle Ranch Chicken Club

It is hard to find nutritional facts on this Jack in the Box Homestyle Ranch Chicken Club, but as it is good old Jack they must be depressing. 

All in all this is okay. I mean, you add bacon to anything and it becomes okay. This isn't as boring as a Subway Wrap would be, but it's not as full of vegetables so it sucks for my body way more. 

Eat in moderation.

Foster Farms Homestyle Turkey Meatballs

These Foster Farms Homestyle Turkey Meatballs say '100% All Natural'. Well, let me have a look.
Wow, I can recognize all the ingredients! Hold on, I need a moment! 

Okay, these natural turkey meat balls are a solid buy, seasoned enough to be eaten on their own but light enough to take seasoning of your choice. 

The down side is one: saturated fat, and two: you're eating balls, but in this world it's better to know that you're eating them than be blissfully unaware.
