Reviews

It has been a long time since I’ve written. (I had some health with family and myself, so I have stepped away from blogging.)

I had a chance to try a few new products and I thought I would give my feedback.

First of all I prefer Pepsi over Coca-Cola (as with Coke you can polish and clean, never heard that with Pepsi.). Pepsi is just more mild.

Anyway I bought a 20 ounce bottle (which was like only thirty cent less than a two-litter.)

I kept seeing the commercials for the product. I’m a huge fan of raspberry as Coco-Cola Spiced has Raspberry and other flavors. I took a sip and reminded me of cough syrup. It was too sweet to the point where it was almost soured.

I messaged the Coca-Cola site to complain as I didn’t get even a third of the bottle down. It took me three emails just to get a refund.

I cannot give this product a good rating.

Note: I still like Cherry flavors of Pepsi, Coca-Cola and 7up.

Just not my cup of soda …

It really does taste like a donut. It can be too sweet it you have all four pieces. I shared mine with family which keeps the sweetness down.

It really does taste like a donut. A- for my rating.

It was a bit sweet and rich. It reminded me of peanut butter with honey. I think it would work better with a darker chocolate. Rating A

I shared it as I think it would be too much on my own.

I would be just as happy with a regular Reese.

It reminded me of a mixture of tortilla chip and rice cake. It tasted like sweet kettle popcorn. It was addicting. Rating A- (It would have been A+, but a bit too high to buy everyday. It was almost three dollars for a small bag.)

Soup Base

I have a decent priced grocery store call Aldi’s.

When I shop, I have a list, and I usually try my best to stay on the list. There are few times I may veer off the list for extra dessert or chips or something. . .

Aldi had these soup bases, in which all you do is add meat and veggies if you wished to. . . plus so many cups of water and then let it boil. . .

The first time I got creamy potato, and I redid my budget just to get the base and try it. It turn out thick and really tasty. I got the chicken soup based next, and it had carrots. It was really good, good flavor and low salt.

The creamy potato and chicken were awesome. I used pre-made biscuit dough for dumpling when I made chicken and dumpling.

Cooking does not have to complicate when you find shortcuts like the soup bases.

I’ve even made a simple beef and veggie soup and put it over mashed potatoes or rice.

Cabbage and Noddles with bacon

I was at the store and they had cabbage for .59 cent a pound and bacon that was normally 6.99 for 2.99 (save 4.00). . . thick cut too.

(By the way, I love bacon. The crispy sweet yumminess. )

I cooked the bacon and cooked the cabbage in butter and bacon grease. Yum. Then I made enough to share with my neighbor.

I love this dish, because it taste good, filling and you can share with many people. This is why many people usually has this dish as parties or picnics.

Simple Biscuits

Zeroman and went shopping last Friday (so we could what I posted about Soupy Saturday.)
We got store brand cheap biscuits, but all he did was melt a bit of butter and made biscuits that would have costed us two dollars of more a roll.

There are only a few things I will buy that are name brand
(soda: I’m a Pepsi or 7up girl, Tide, I love the smell and it doesn’t make me
itch, and usually coffee I love Maxwell house.)

Growing up, I didn’t usually use too many fancy stuff. We would add things and make things look fancy.

A simple roll of biscuits can do many things.

We had sausage gravy over the same buttery biscuits.

You can make dumplings, mini pizza, hot dog rolls, semi-homemade cinnamon rolls. (All you need are just a few extra ingredients).

I couldn’t believe we just paid sixty-nine cents per roll.
