I love Justin’s Nut Butters, having been a long time fan of them…I have to say it was embarrassing to realize I had not tried any of the 3 chocolate flavors. Like how did that happen? How did I pass over chocolaty goodness? Well I made sure to remedy that this week I picked up [...]

I have long loved Annie Chun’s products – they can be found in many grocery stores, often in the “ethnic sections” or the “Asian” section. The Noodle Bowls in particular are easy to prepare and taste great with 6 varieties to choose from. The Korean Sweet Chili bowl is a fun one to try, mildly [...]

Out shopping in an upscale grocery store I came across Near East Pasta – which I had seen before but had never tried. Consider it a fancier version of say Knorr/Lipton side dishes. I picked up the Roasted Garlic and Olive Oil flavor to try out. Easy to prep, this meal only needs water for [...]
