dmlichnerowicz says "Sister Schubert is my hero! " about Sister Schubert Dinner Yeast Rolls

dmlichnerowicz — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:15:28 GMT

One of my favorite parts of any meal is the bread...I don't care whether it's a plain slice of white bread or a fancy homemade roll. I just love bread. But it takes so much time to make it from scratch that I can't be bothered! Once we found Sister Schubert's Dinner Yeast Rolls, I no longer felt like I needed to bake fresh rolls to keep on hand, which takes SO much work out of holiday and every-day meal preparation.

Sister Schubert Dinner Yeast Rolls come in a plastic re-sealable bag, so you can bake as many rolls as you need without thawing the rest out. Preparation is as simple as removing the rolls, baking them at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes, buttering the tops, and serving! Five minutes in a pre-heated oven is usually plenty, so the bottoms don't get too dark.

These rolls are fabulous! I have not tasted any other frozen rolls that are so close to homemade! Preparation is simple, they get rave reviews every time I serve them, and they are priced well. For 10 rolls,...

dmlichnerowicz says "POW!!! Holiday soda with a punch!" about Canada Dry - Cranberry Ginger Ale

dmlichnerowicz — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:03:00 GMT

For a little something different to drink for our Thanksgiving meal, I purchased a 2-liter bottle of Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale, a brightly-colored cranberry version of the traditional ginger ale. Also made with real ginger, just like the original "champagne of ginger ales," this soda packs an extra kick of tart cranberry flavor that complements the ginger flavor nicely. I paid $1.49 for the bottle, which is only available during the winter season, so if you decide you love it, stock up for the rest of the year.

If you compare the flavor combination to Cherry 7-Up, this is similar...the difference with Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale is that the cranberry has a much stronger presence than cherry flavors in the 7-Up. It packs a lot of punch and one glass is usually enough for me. It works well with holiday dinners or as a stand-alone beverage. It's also caffeine-free, and not too sweet-tasting.

Definitely add Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale to your holiday meals this year. ...

lisaleslie76 says "Diet Dr. Pepper tastes just like Regular Dr. Pepper" about Dr Pepper - Diet Dr Pepper

lisaleslie76 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:12:44 GMT

Out of all the diet drinks out there, Diet Dr. Pepper is my favorite diet soda to drink. It tastes just like a Regular Dr. Pepper. The good thing about it is that Diet Dr. Pepper has no calories in it. It tastes really good and it tastes like it has vanilla, cherry, strawberry, and other fruit flavors in it. Diet Dr. Pepper is offered in different sizes nationwide. The sizes they offer Diet Dr. Pepper in is six-pack sodas, twelve-pack sodas, 20 oz. bottle, one liter bottle, two liter bottle, 8 oz. bottle, and 6 oz. can. The variety of flavors Diet Dr. Pepper comes is caffeine-free, the caffeinated one, and Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. The Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper by far is my favorite diet soda to drink. It tastes just like a regular Cherry Dr. Pepper soda. Diet Dr. Pepper is sold in a lot of stores, including convenience stores, grocery stores, wal-mart, pharmacy stores, and in vending machines. I also liked Diet Dr. Pepper in Cherry Vanilla and Berries and Cream, but they are discontinued and......

lisaleslie76 says "Diet Snapple Singles To Go Is the Best Diet Beverage Ever." about Snapple - Diet Snapple Singles To Go

lisaleslie76 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:57:52 GMT

My sister had some Diet Snapple Singles On The Go drink packets in her house and when I saw them, I knew that I just had to try one. This is a very good diet drink ever made by Snapple. It is also a low calorie drink. One serving would be half the packet for 5 calories, but I use the full packet for my bottled water, which is 10 calories. This is so much better than drinking Kool-Aid, soda, and any other sugar-sweetened beverage. Plus, you can burn 10 calories very easily. There are a lot of plusses for this drink. The first plus is that it tastes really good and it tastes like you are drinking a regular Snapple beverage. The next one is the it contains real juice in it, which makes this tastes better than most diet drinks. They also added vitamins in it such as Vitamin C and other vitamins. This is also a natural drink, so there are no artificial colors and no artificial flavors. Snapple offers a variety of flavors in this product. The flavors offered in this Singles To Go are Kiwi Strawberry,...

savnzplan says "Edy's Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream is Grumpous" about Edy's edy's Peanut Butter cup Ice cream

savnzplan — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:32:38 GMT

I love Ice Cream, but not plain ice creams like Chocolate or Vanilla. I love my ice cream to have nuts, or chunks of things and I am not fond of ice creams that are just too chocolatey. While Edy's Peanut Butter Cup is chocolatey, it has just the right amount of chocolate that is does not over power the great taste of the peanut butter cup chunks.

The Flavor of Edy's Peanut butter cup Ice cream is creamy and rich, not too heavy the peanut butter cups are nice size pieces without being to large or too small. If the pieces were too small they would add a sandy texture, but being just the right size they make this a wonderful ice cream. I love that you can actually taste the peanut butter but that is doesn't take away from the chocolate.

The texture of this ice cream is smooth, chunky, with nice bites of peanut butter cup and not too sweet. Edy's would rival any of the more expensive ice cream brands. I would give this ice cream five stars and recommend it to others as wel as serve to guest...

savnzplan says "8 o'clock is the only brand I buy now" about Eight O'Clock Regular roast

savnzplan — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:31:16 GMT

My husband and I thoroughly enjoy our time in the morning having coffee and talking, now that we are both retired this time has become very enjoyable and we look forward to it, so the coffee we choose is important to us, we had tried some of the more expensive brands like Starbucks and but the beans seemed to be over roasted and the coffee was FAR to strong and bitter. I ordered specialty coffees like Boca Java and Gevalia but the cost was outrageous considering that we did not find it any better than some of the less costly brands.

We ran across a review of coffees in Consumer reports and they recommended 8 oclock as one of the best for flavor and cost. Once we tried it we were sold and have not tried another brand since. This coffee is consistant in its flavor it is always good and never bitter. you can taste the coffee and not additives like Maxwell House or Folgers. we found that we could buy two packages of Maxwel House and each one tasted different, one was stronger than the other...

OdalisMoise says "The best yogurt ever!" about Stonyfield Farm Quart Size Organic Yogurt

OdalisMoise — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:25:58 GMT

Stonyfield yogurt is the brand that comes closest to the yogurt I had in my childhood, when I lived in Spain. I am originally from Cuba, and as a child the only yogurt I ever had was homemade so, when I moved to Spain, my family continue having fresh yogurt at the table. What was amazing, while living in Spain, you can buy fresh yogurt at the store daily. When I mean fresh, it was! Organic with fruit or not the flavor was unbelievable. Later, when I came the US I tried so many different brands of yogurt, but I could not find that wonderful flavor I was used to until I tried Stonyfield now remember I said they come close good enough for me.

Erica6635 says "This protein water is all protein and no tast" about Kellogg's - Special K20 - Protein Water - Strawberry Kiwi

This protein water is all protein and no tast at all. it tast like nothing it has no tast to it, the kiwi Strawberry has a kind of tang tast to it. it's so not not good that i can't put my finger on just how bad it tast and smell for that matter. i think when we buy these things we tend to try to thing that they are all going to tast good and smell go but they dont and this one is one of them but all is not lost i have found one drink that is just great it is call v water with the and the liveing water they are great on tast and smell i love the red fruit they have no calories in them and they still tast great but the protein water dose not, i thought it might have benn just me but i did not think so because when i gave one to a fried of mine she agreed with me she said girl what in the @#32323 is this.

onwaytozion says " Slow Cook Liners make slow cooking even easier" about Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners

onwaytozion — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:55:25 GMT

I love using my crock pot - the food usually comes out so tender. But I hate the clean up. My ceramic pot is so heavy, and I still had to scrub the burnt-on food even after soaking it. I didn't want to use it very often.

That is, until I discovered Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners. What a help! A liner is placed into the crock pot and filled with food. Any leftover mess stays on the liner and is tossed into the garbage. The crock pot itself just needs a couple of quick swipes to clean it.

The box boasts that the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners fit 3 to 6.5 quart round and oval slow cookers. They are a little large for my crock pot, but who cares? The one-size-fits-all package ensures that you're not stuck with too small liners that can't be used. There are 4 13 inch by 21 inch liners per box. Ever find out that a recipe has so many ingredients that your lid won't close tight? The instructions on the box tell you to pull the top of the liner over the rim of the bowl, but I've successfully pulled...

montanasmom says "Unusual flavor, creamy and yummy! " about Amarula Cream Liqueur

montanasmom — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:24:48 GMT

Last year my best girlfriend went on a safari in Africa, and when she got home she raved about a new liqueur she had discovered called Amarula Cream. We got together and she brought along a bottle of this rich and creamy luxury and we set about discovering it's many uses. This yummy treat is made from the fruit of the African Amarula tree, and while it is a thick and creamy licquer somewhat like Bailey's Irish Cream, it has a very different and unique flavor, perfect for pairing with anything chocolate, my personal favorite flavor. We looked on line for recipe and drink ideas, and found many uses such as rum and vodka concoctions, and pairings with coconut, strawberry, and other exotic combinations. There are candy recipes, cakes and pastries using Amarula, and even Amarula ice cream! I can't wait to try my hand at Amarula dark chocolate truffles. But for now, just drinking it over ice is heaven.

bloodeyes18 says "I eat these every day" about ConAgra Foods David & Sons sunflower seeds

bloodeyes18 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:54:02 GMT

i buy as many packs as i can whenever i get the chance just so that i can eat these every day. these are absolutely wonderful. i love them so much. i think the thing that i love about them the most is the fact that they regulate my digestive system. i use to go every other day, maybe even every 3 days. but since i've started to eat these david sunflower seeds, or any other sunflower seed, i go at least once maybe even twice a day. now i know that no one wants to hear about anyone's "business in the bathroom". but trust me when i say that there's no problem going with these. With sunflower seeds your "go time" never gets backed up day after day. you go when you have to and you're out quicker, no difficulties what so ever. but i'm tellin you now that you've got to become a seeder.

HomeMommy8831 says "Kellogg's Cinnabon Snack Bars -- What a Let-Down" about Kellogg's Cinnabon snack bars

HomeMommy8831 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:37:21 GMT

When I saw the Kellogg's Cinnabon snack bars on the super market shelf, I was anxious to try them. Unfortunately, I became rather disappointed upon opening the package. They are dry and do not taste good straight out of the box. So, I heated them for "3 seconds" as recommended on the box and that did absolutely nothing; which I didn't think it would. This must be a misprint. I then put it back in the microwave for another 15 seconds and it was only slightly heated. The cinnamon is okay, but the "pastry" is quite dry and just overall does not taste good. I brought them into the office to let other co-workers try if they want.

A waste of my money. I will not buy them again.

CyndiA says "Easy to cook or grill but plain bratwurst are better." about Hillshire Farm Smoked Bratwurst

CyndiA — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:01:36 GMT

I like Hillshire Farms bratwurst sausages, because they are easy to make and taste good. Most often we grill the brats and have them on big buns with spicy mustard.

The Hillshire Farms Smoked Bratwursts are made with pork and beef, and I think they have an all beef version. That wasn't available at Food Lion when I went.

Off the top, I have to say I'm usually not keen on smoke added flavor, although there are some exceptions. If it's Liquid Smoke, then that is what it tastes like - not smoked - just fake smoke and nothing else similar. That, fortunately, was not the flavoring in the Hillshire Farms Smoked Brats. Still, it was not a real smoke taste or not like off the grill anyway.

We boiled our brats (well - simmered really) in beer with butter and onions like usual, and then put the brats on the grill. So, we got some of the grilled smoke taste too. But, the secondary smoke taste was there.

The smoked Hillshire Farms brats aren't bad. If you don't grill, you might like them for a change...

Elephantwoman says "Great alternative to more expensive brands,and you'l feel great " about Genesis Today Genesis Today,Acai Berry juice.

Elephantwoman — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:52:02 GMT

I discovered Genesis Today Acai Berry juice by accident.I was purchasing some orange juice for my kids at Walmart and saw with the corner of my eye this dark colored juice.I always wanted to try Acai berry something and saw this juice.It had great things on it that stated: supports energy levels,WEIGHT control!,skin hair and nails,and antioxidant levels.That was all good things for me to try and it was inexpensive.Now,the price for Acai berry vitamins or extracts espcially ones that are pure and such can be pricey,believe me I checked! So the price for this juice although a bit high wasnt too much of a scare for me,$6.98 for a 64oz bottle.I also found the same exact juice at Sam's Club for $5.88! So if your a member and wanna save some change then go get it there.This isnt a jucie to quench thirst this is like a juice you have 1 or 2 times a day,and more specifically for yourself,i would recommend keeping away from the kids, it gives a great energy boost(something kids dont really need,unless...

jedipple says "Duncan Hines Cake Mixes are so moist." about Duncan Hines Cake and Cupcake Mixes

jedipple — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:53:22 GMT

I usually always buy Duncan Hines German Chocolate Mix, however one time when I went to the store, they did not have the German Chocolate. I purchased another brand and made the cake for my family. They could tell the difference right away. Duncan Hines are so moist and taste so much better. I make a cake with the Dark Chocolate mix and add a can of cherry pie filling to the mix and eggs and stir, then bake same as regular cake. This is so good and it really takes so little time to put together. For frosting, I use a can of cherry pie filling and container of cool whip and this make a nice frosting, but not as heavy as regular frosting. You can use the Duncan Hines Angel Food Cake Mix and add a can of undrained crushed pineapple and make in 9X13 pan. Then frost with a drained can of pineapple and cool whip. This is very light and is accepted in the Weight Watchers program. There are so many things you can do with any Duncan Hines cake mixes. They have good receipes...

AnnaBanana says "Don't look now, but I think I'm being seduced!" about Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt

AnnaBanana — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:44:11 GMT

For most of my life, I have been a fan of Lawry's Seasoned Salt and I must say that I still think it is delicious. I may never give up on it totally but recently I have found a rival for my affections -- Tastefully Simple All Natural Seasoned Salt. This product is very much like Lawry's signature product and has almost exactly the same nutritional values -- 380 mg. sodium per 1/4 tsp -- but it also has a character all its own perhaps because it contains sea salt, along with red and green peppers (in addition to the garlic, onions, spices, paprika and other good things found in Lawry's as well).

MY VIEWPOINT:

Today I tried Tastefully Simple All Natural Seasoned Salt with a little cottage cheese and enjoyed it very much. This is more than just a knock-off of Lawry's famous seasoning. I probably will never totally give up on my first love but definitely find myself being seduced by Tastefully Simple's entry into the seasoned salt race. I bought this delightful seasoning from This2ShallPass19...

kadidia says "Yuck!" about Starbucks - VIA Ready Brew Instant Coffee

kadidia — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:23:50 GMT

Disgusting! Isn't it funny how Starbuck's actually got started because they wanted to get Americans get away from bad coffee, including instant. They started out as a GOURMET coffee supplier. I know in the last few years (actually, since Harold took over) they have moved away from the gourmet and just concentrated on being the biggest, leaving quality by the wayside, but this is really the lowest they could have gone. This instant coffee is not worth the price. It does not taste good, it does not dissolve well and it is wayyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooo expensive! I suppose it's easy and fast to make but if that's what you're looking for, just buy the cheap versions of instant coffee and do not spend the extra money. Because in the end it DOES taste like instant, not coffee and the quality overall is so much lower than what you could get from other coffee suppliers who are actually still gourmet coffees. My recommendation? if you want coffee, go for somethig good, like Peet's or Becking Coffee...

geelmur says "W F orange chicken is delish! tastes home made " about Wanchai Ferry Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken

geelmur — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:43:19 GMT

I have made Wanchai Ferry 3 times now in a week ! First, for my husband and I and we were so impressed , that I made it for two neighborhood families where the wife had just had surgery. Both families loved it...one keeps asking me for the recipe ! LOL
THe only thing I did, was take out the red chile peppers a little early in the cooking process , so that it wasn't too spicy (don't add just the seeds!) and I substituted my own long grain and wild rice for the white rice that it comes with...

An excellent value ! and truly, the sauce is just divine..

Thank you Wanchai Ferry ! Now I want to try another flavor....and the panda in your commercials is pretty funny...your commercial made me notice the brand.....

Angie814 says "Love, love, love McDonald's Sweet Tea!!!" about McDonald's Sweet Tea

Angie814 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:40:34 GMT

I love, love. love Mcdonald's sweet tea. It not only taste great but it is also very inexpensive. I make great sweet tea but it is hard to find a great glass of sweet tea when you go out to eat. It is so annoying for me to buy a glass of tea and then find out it is so horrible I can't drink it. Then when I realize how much I spent on that horrible glass of tea and what I pay for that glass of tea, I feel like I have been ripped off. I feel as if I should of just throwed my money in the trash! Well, just go to McDonald's and order a Mickey D tea and you will not be disappointed at all. Their tea always taste the same and you never feel like you have wasted your money. You get a large cup of great sweet tea and it is only 99 cent to boot. My job required me to be on the road throughout the day so I love being able to just drive up to any McDonald's and I know I can always get me a good sweet tea. It just makes me so happy! If you are from the south,...
