icefanatic333 says "Really wakes up a sleepy spud!" about Sargento Potato Finishers

icefanatic333 — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:58:32 GMT

I saw the commercial for the salad finishers and thought I'd try to locate them at my store.

When next I was in the store, I happened upon the section, and spotted the potato toppers..yum! I love baked potatoes and I disliked having to buy a large bag of shredded cheese for just 1 spud. This was great. It had 3 separate packets: a creamy white cheese with chives in it, shredded cheddar, and bacon bits.

I brought it home and my husband and I made the potatoes. He loves bacon, so he snatched that one quickly. I divided the chesse with chives and cheddar on mine, covering my entire potato with the cheese...(because I'm a massive cheesaholic).

It was great! The potatoes were the microwaveable variety and it really helped add to the fullness of the meal.

The packets said they'd cover 2 to 4 potatoes, but both of ours were medium to large in size. I'd say it'd cover 4 small ones if stretched.

Overall, great job Sargento! Very tasty cheese!

icefanatic333 says "Very good yogurt!" about Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt

icefanatic333 — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 17:01:44 GMT

I saw the ad for this yogurt about a month ago and was immediately smitten.

I had tried other "healthy" yogurts, but has so far been disappointed. Some left out taste as well as fat!

When I bought this yogurt, I was pleasantly surprised. The texture is smooth (much preferred by moi)...I don't like bits of fruit really in my yogurts.

The taste is terrific and its just enough to take the edge off my hunger. Highly recommended.

icefanatic333 says "These are terrific!" about Flat Earth - Baked Veggie Crisps

I saw these on TV with the flying pig commercial and it caught my attention. I am always attracted to healthier snacks (that I can actually stomach!). This has some Vitamin A in them, which is what most of us are lacking in our fast diets nowadays.

When I was in the grocery store; I spotted them in the produce section and decided, why not? So, I picked up a bag of the cheddar-flavored ones (cheese-a-holic that I am).

I brought them home and when I opened them up I was delighted with the aroma of fresh cheese on a baked crisp. I dove right in. I don't think I came up for air again until the bag was 1/3 gone!

It hasn't even been a week yet, but the bag is nearly gone (pacing myself)...

I will definitely buy again!

icefanatic333 says "Great to drink for poor diet, or just a snack!" about Ensure Creamy Milk Chocolate Shake

icefanatic333 — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:50:25 GMT

I first tried Ensure after a dental extraction. I am usually not able to swallow pills easily as it is, so this thick liquid seemed the ticket.

It's cost is a bit much; but once you buy it, you'll love it. I was not a happy camper after the extraction and drinking it filled me up and made my pills far easier to swallow.

The taste took a bit of getting used to. I have never even had as much as a slim fast in my life! I was quite unaccustomed to liquid diet/nutritional supplement drinks. But, I am glad they have this flavor.

The chocolate is rich, and is best served well-chilled (recommended on the bottle). Give it a quick shake and it is ready to drink!

icefanatic333 says "A great little blender" about Magic Bullet Blender - High Speed Mixing System

icefanatic333 — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:43:15 GMT

I bought the majic bullet about 2 years ago. I saw the infomercial and was hooked!

I used it at first for the sole purpose of making chocolate mousse, which it does beautifully! I have also used it for muffin mixes, drinks, and grinding coffee beans.

The only issue I have had is with the "pulsing" action...I am unsure of how to do that exactly; my husband figured it out. My skills in the kitchen are less than stellar; but even I found this item to be very useful and helpful!

The cookbook it came with has some of the recipes seen on the infomercial; but also delves into other variations. I have yet to try most of them.

Cleaning-wise it can be a bit of a hassle, watch out for the sharp blades! I usually use it once, then put it in the dishwasher. However, water seems to collect and I have to wipe it out anyway.

As a mini blender, this item is great!

icefanatic333 says "great mix of attitude tunes and a couple touching ones" about The Best Damn Thing (Deluxe Edition) [PA] by Avril Lavigne

icefanatic333 — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:22:49 GMT

This album is Avril's third I believe. She has grown and matured; and it shows in the gripping tracks found here. She has also found love, something else apparent in the lyrics. Overall, enjoy the "old" or "new" Avril, both are found here!

The best damn thing has 12 tracks; the last one "Keep Holding On" is a personal favorite of mine. It was made for the movie Eragon soundtrack.

The first track has come under some fire. "Girlfriend" is a song that has the message that a guy she likes should dump his loser girlfriend and be with her. The video and song have taken a bit of a beating; but overall I believe strongly it was meant in jest. The video features Avril herself in both roles as the dumpee and the wanna be girlfriend. I think it's a cute video!
