Kirk had picked up the combo pack of Go Lean’s Crunchy! Bars at Costco awhile back and recently I gave them a trial run. The box has 3 of the 5 flavors they make. Chocolate Caramel is my favorite so far: The Chocolate Peanut is also very tasty: The box also has Chocolate Almond in [...]

I found these recently in the cream cheese section at Safeway – while not shelf stable, cream cheese carries well in most temperatures – in summer try to use up within the first day. In cool weather you can get a couple days out of it. Philadelphia Cream Cheese Minis come in four flavors that [...]
