Have you ever heard of Fonio? It is an Ancient Super Grain grown in West Africa. The company states “bold Taste. Bold Texture. Great alternative to Oats!” The consistency was not what I expected, definitely similar to cream of rice cereal but thicker. The portion for the amount the instructions require is very small and you will definitely need additional […]

Campbell’s Select Harvest Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta Soup
What do cold wintry days bring? Multiple trips to Starbucks and hot bowls of soup. Well at least for me. The weather was beyond bitter cold and windy the other day, and I thought the only thing to help my winter woe’s was to have a nice hot bowl of soup. In the mood for something new, I tried, Campbell’s […]

Corazonas Banana Walnut Oatmeal Square
I have a confession. I’m obsessed with banana flavored things. Banana bread, banana ice cream, banana yogurt (yes! they make it!). I DONT like fake banana (aka laffy taffy) but real banana flavored things I absolutely adore. Which, go figure, I find weird because I’m not all that crazy about bananas themselves. Hmm. So, I got this free Corazonas Banana […]

Oogie’s Hatch Chili Con Queso Popcorn
First off, I’m already a pretty big fan of Oogie’s Gourmet Popcorn. I REALLY liked the Smoked Gouda popcorn, which if you haven’t checked out already, you can read about it here. Another bag that Oogie’s sent me to try was the Hatch Chili Con Queso Popcorn. I didn’t know what to expect with this popcorn. Would it be spicy? […]

Corazonas Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Square
Remember my oatmeal debate? How I’d love to eat oatmeal all the time since it’s healthy, filling and deliciously versatile. But, I’m, well lazy. I don’t like cleaning pots, or waiting for the oatmeal to cook. Especially if a cold bowl of cereal is ready in five minutes after slciing up some fruit and pouring some almond milk. It’s just […]

Oogie’s Gourmet Popcorn Movie Lovers Buttered Popcorn
What’s a movie without POPCORN? (Hey, I know a few people who go to the movies FOR the popcorn! =P) But the popcorn at movies can be loaded with calories and fat (and I’m just going to go out on a limb here and assume, it’s NOT the healthy fats!). Plus, there can even be trans fats in some popcorns! […]

Kashi Margherita Stone-Fired Thin Crust Pizza
Ever go grocery shopping, with the intent of buying one thing, and then letting your stomach decide what you actually buy? Yea. That’s what happened here. That’s how this Kashi Margherita Stone-Fired Thin Crust Pizza ended up in my cart, then in the stove, and then eaten by yours truly. It sort of happened like this… I figured I would […]

Fabe’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie
Got some free cookies, courtesy of Fabe’s, and of COURSE I had to try the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies first =) Seeing as I love both peanut butter AND chocolate… well, I guess to be fair, there are a LOT of people who love peanut butter and chocolate… So, let’s just say I did the Fabe’s Peanut Butter Chocolate […]

Corazonas Chocolate Brownie & Almonds Oatmeal Squares
I’m an oatmeal kind of girl. Well….. I mean I eat cold cereal for breakfast 6 out of 7 days of the week, but oatmeal is certainly on the top of my list for things I like to eat. I just hate cleaning pots and instant oatmeal is never as satifying as stove top. SO basically, I’m a lazy oatmeal […]

New England Naturals Banana Walnut Granola
New England Naturals combines two of my favorite things in one- bananas and granola. Being the avid cereal lover I am, granola is certainly on top of the list. According to the package, this granola has “Banana Chips, Walnuts & Honey”, as well as “27 grams of whole grains” with “0g trans fats”. Sounds like a winner to me! I […]
