I wasn't sure what I was going to think about this product. I just discovered (after much bloating and horrible discomfort) that I had become Lactose Intolerant. I was so scared that I was going to hate the taste of soy-milk and that it would taste "beany". I can tell you that NOTHING could be further from the truth! The first thing that came to mind when I took that first sip was that it tasted just like raw rolled oats with milk and a little sugar. I'm sure that some people might find that a little off-putting, but if you like oatmeal, you'll like the taste of vanilla Silk. I mean, if you're...

I am more of a salty/savory kind of snacker, than a sweet one.  I would much rather snack on chips, crackers or cheese than candy, chocolate or desserts.  One of my favorite snacks are Sunshine Cheez-It Hot & Spicy Baked Snack Crackers, but the last time I was at the grocery store, I came across a flavor I haven't had before - Sunshine Cheez-It Parmesan & Garlic Baked Snack Crackers.  I love cheese and garlic, so they seemed like they would be a perfect fit.

When I first tasted these, I immediately picked up on the garlic.  The parmesan flavor was definitely secondary, but slightly noticeable. ...

Lost Coast Brewery's Tangerine Wheat is a well-made American wheat beer with a fun, tangerine flavor.

Tangerine Wheat is fun, accessible, and its refreshing light body makes it enjoyable just about any time you're in the mood for its tangerine character. It has a clean, pleasant finish without any unpleasant aftertaste, a pitfall which fruity beers must work to avoid. In fact, its strength—its tangerine flavor—while it may lead you to choose Tangerine Wheat for an occasion is also what will keep you from drinking it endlessly (until next time). There's only so much tangerine flavor one can...

There are a lot of excellent frozen veggies and side dishes out there but one of the best is Green Giant and Green Giant Immunity Blend is perhaps the best they have come up with so far.  This medley of broccoli florets, julienne carrots and red and yellow sweet peppers is delightful.  The garlic-herb extra virgin oil coating it all is flavorful without being too overpowering.  It is called "Immunity Blend" because it is (according to the package information) "naturally rich in antioxidants Vitamins A & C to help support a healthy immune system."

One of my favorite activities is to have some friends over, have a few drinks, enjoy a good meal and watch our children play.  One of the alcoholic beverages that I like to have in my home bar is Absolut Mandarin Vodka for it's ability to make just about everyone happy. 

What I like about Absolut Mandarin Vodka

• tastes great on its own or mixed (if drinking alone be sure it is chilled) 
• great mixer 
• versatile
• smooth 
• 80 proof 

• a little bitter aroma 
• expensive 

One of the things my then-boyfriend brought to this house was the Wine Tree Wine Rack.  I've never been a huge wine drinker, but my husband is and I use a fair amount in my cooking.  The fact is that we go through several bottles of wine each week between cooking, relaxing, and entertaining.  We keep the Wine Tree Wine Rack prominently displayed on the back counter of our basement bar and it never fails to be admired by our guests.

Basically, this is a 6-bottle wine rack that stores 750mL bottles in alternating and inverted directions.  It looks pretty cool when you have 3 bottles of red and...

Simply Wicked fruit and ginger bears are appopriately named, they are wicked because you can't get enough of them! They have just enough natural fruit flavor to balance the zap of ginger in each bite and are actually quite sweet and pleasant. They are made with real ginger and twenty five percent fruit juice.

I am a 'gummy bear addict' ha ha, and since I have turned to more natural foods I discovered candied ginger (which has great all natural medicinal and tummy soothing properties.) Blend that with natural fruit juices and voila! All natural great tasting gummies with no artificial colors or...

When I first seen Crystal Head Vodka I was impressed with the bottle, a skull and since it was around halloween it fit with the party I was having. It was a hit! Not only the cool looking skull everyone loved, but the Vodka itself was so smooth and no afterburn. I served it ice cold as shots and also some people used it in their favorite cocktails.

 I began to read the box that it came in and there is a story that goes along with the Crystal Head..its goes like this: It follows the story of 13 Crystal Heads that had been unearthed at various times around the world, from the Yucatan to Tibet. The...

Quick View: My family calls me a fiber freak. And I am. I believe fiber fills you up and keeps you full and it aids in good digestive health. I don't get nearly enough fiber for the most part so I am always on the lookout for foods that boost my intake. Thomas' Better Start High Fiber 100 Calories English Muffins have 5 grams of fiber per muffin and taste great. They really are a better start to anyone's day!

My Take on Thomas' Better Start High Fiber 100 Calories English Muffins

These English muffins look exactly like regular ones. They come six to a package and need to be sliced into halves to...

My wife and I just spent over 90 minutes on their mess of a website, including two long support calls, and we finally gave up.  What a nightmare!  Plan A was to order two assortments from the printed catalog.  Couldn't find them online.  Plan B was to do a "Mix & Match" gift box.  However, we got errors about "cannot deliver that item to that address" so we called for help.  They said (after manually looking up the items) that many of them were out of stock but the system displays the wrong error.  So we chose other items (had to verify with them over the phone because the system couldn't...

Wow! I tried these Sister Schubert Dinner Yeast Rolls after another member reviewed them.  She was very positive about this product and that encouraged me to try them as well.  I am so,so, so glad that I did.  This bag did not last a week in my house.

The rolls are so yummy and have a great bread consistency to them.  The best feature - in my opinion - is the fact that these rolls go from frozen to warm, yummy and on your table in about 10 minutes.  The convenience of the bag is a big plus as well.  I did have trouble with the "resealable" part of the bag but I still found it convenient...

Not normally being a big ice cream eater, I only understood how people can LOOOOVE ice cream after trying Haagen Dasz Five Ginger Ice Cream.  At that point, I became a convert, but only to the Haagen Dasz Five line.  Since they're not cheap, I picked up two more flavors during a sale 2/$5 at Kroger and grabbed their coffee and brown sugar flavors. 

Haagen Dasz Five Brown Sugar Ice Cream is the simplest concoction: sugar, cream, milk, brown sugar, and eggs.  No preservatives, no coloring, no unpronounceable ingredients...just a natural, delicious, simple combination of flavors.  Because it's...

We recently hosted a wine tasting in our office and the Terlato Family Vineyards Pinot Grigio did not fare too well.  It was described by the tasters as citrusy, very dry, with a long finish.  Some felt that it was too acidic and hollow but one taster felt that it would be good for a long hot summer day.

Normally I leave the beer reviews to the experts like AleConnor and BryanCarey, but I have to say in this case there is something to be said for a woman's point of view on Budweiser Select 55. 

Let me start by saying, I am not a big fan of Budweiser, but it will do in a pinch and I won't turn one down if you are giving it to me, but I'm not going to actually pay for it.  But the idea of a beer with only 55 calories made me at least give it a try. 

First, let's start with the pour. Even I know a good beer requires a good head. Forget it, this one falls flat. 

Aroma, normally I associate skunky...

Buderim Ginger Bears are a tasty alternative to mass market gummy bears because they are sweet and have no artificial flavors or colors. They are slightly different from the Simply Wicked fruit flavored gummies (previously reviewed) because  they are made with pure ginger, no fuit added. Their Austrailian grown ginger from Queensland is ade into a range of their ginger products worldwide. They compare these bears to eating  ginger beer on the package but I've only had ginger tea and that is delicious too (throw some ginger root skin off into a kettle of water and brew) but I do love the bitey...
