Picky kids pick Kidz
I'm just gonna say that my kid doesn't eat anything that's not white or yellow. PERIOD. Let's just say she's been quite a challenge. Even my chef friends have tried with her, with mediocre results. I'm obviously super concerned about her not getting enough nutrition, so I try and sneak it into her food. To be honest, i realized pureeing everything works pretty well. Just tell her its split pea soup and she's happy. (I know, its green, but whatever)
So I brought home this Kidz Chocolate Drink expecting her to be super grossed out by it, but figuring I'd give it a try. She didn't wince when I told her it was full of "healthy stuff," so that was a good start. She stirred some up and CHUGGED IT. Yep, she gulped it down like there was no tomorrow.
First thing next morning, she made another glass. I asked her what she thought and she said "I think its way better than Nesquick!"
Score 1 for Mommy!

No butter? Really?!!
Yeah, really. I thought I had caught a vegan pie in the act of using butter! but alas, I did not.
This is a super yummy completely vegan cherry pie. It also had a nice tart to the cherry filling, so it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The crust was cooked perfectly and basically, I was pretty darn happy eating it.
Try with vanilla ice cream.

kinda sorta perfect
I'm sure I've mentioned in a previous review that I am a cheese connoisseur, but what I did not mention was that I am also an ice cream expert, too. I'm good with dairy.
This stuff is brilliant. I think they must have an ice cream cow, because its so damn god. It has great consistency and isn't overly sweet. Awesome with chocolate cake or pie.
Go ahead, indulge yourself.. you know you want to.

Just like Ma' used to make
I'm very weary of frozen food, but decided I needed some easy lunch items to help in my "not spending too much money" effort.
I grabbed only one of Amy's Veggie Pies to make sure I was going to like them. These are REALLY good. I microwaved it, so it wasn't crispy, but I really didn't care. The inside was savory and perfectly cooked, and the outside was durable and equally tasty. I felt like I was eating a chicken pot pie (san chicken, of course).
Amy's continues to surprise me with their sounds-bland-at-first-but-really-tastes-kick-ass food.

I forkin love this spork!
It cost me $2.50, I can carry with me wherever I go, I can save plastic, use it as a hair pully-backy thinggie, AND probably save mankind with it. Ok, maybe thats a teeny bit extreme, but this is just super duper cool.
It looks cute, easy to carry around, has a fork and spoon, and made out of one of the most sustainable materials known. Granted, it's not great to eat a steak with, but its perfect for almost any kind of food you'd need it for. (salad, rice, etc.) It's darn-tootin' cute, too!

Almost perfect
This stuff was extremely tasty, there's no doubt about it. My biggest problem with it, is the packaging. First off, the honey (all natural!) comes in a separate section of the container, making it super difficult to mix it in. It wasn't easy to stir it into the honey, either. Secondly, I have no idea if its recyclable because its imported and doesn't have recycling numbers on the bottom of the package. I'll throw it in there anyway and hope it gets processed ok.
The taste: very very very good. Nice a creamy, not too thick, and well, natural.

i'm so much cozier now!
I've been griping about my collection of cardboard accessories that come with my morning cup of coffee. I griped so much that my co-worker Netty offered to create a knit version of one. (she even monogrammed it!) It's really perfect, actually. I can waste one less cardboard cozy, but I can also use it on my kleen kanteen, my glass cup at home, and I bet I could use it to pick up a hot skillet with!
It's very cute and probably easy to do yourself. Best part is, I can wear it around my wrist and act like Wonder Woman.
It's a really cool, very fashionable, and a super duper easy way to be conscious about your actions.

I forgot how much I love Saltines
These were so much better than the name brand I grew up with. Saltines are a kind of food item that you can eat when you're hungry, when you're sick, or when you need to scrape the bottom of your bean dip. You'll truly notice the upgrade in taste from your old stand by, with Back to Nature.

eh, not for me
I can see how someone would like this, but I was a bit grossed out by it. It was verrrrry very gelatinous, which turned me off from the get go. Secondly, it was too tart. I actually love tart food items, but that combined with the texture didn't work for me.

I'd eat this on meat it's so good
This stuff was far out. I knew the second I looked at the color that I was in for something special. I think there may be an ounce of heaven in this jar. The texture was perfect and there weren't too many strawberry seeds to get stuck in my teeth. I think you could eat this on ice cream and be blissfully happy for the rest of your days.
