Pasture Perfect Burger Review

I have to say from the outset, me and frozen burger patties don’t get along. I’ve tried a boatload of different brands. To me, they have a taste and texture in common that I personally don’t find appealing. I think probably many of them are marketed to be tossed on your charcoal or gas grill,… Continue reading Pasture Perfect Burger Review

LEMS Backwoods Seasoning Jerky Mix Review

LEMS Backwoods Seasoning Jerky Mix Review I like jerky. And as I have the diabetes, if I can find one without added sugar, it’s a great low-carb snack. Friends of mine had been bragging about this fancy brand out of the Napa area, Krave, and I finally got around to trying it and wasn’t impressed.

The chain is the brainstorm of the former CEO… Continue reading Fresh Thyme Market Review – Grocery Chain

Supreme Lobster Appetizers

Had an occasion to need appetizers this week, but didn’t have time to make them.  A local Chicago company, Supreme Lobster and Seafood, sells quality heat and eat appys to bail you out of just such a jam. Picked up their bacon wrapped scallops and their lobster rangoon won tons. Both could be ready in… Continue reading Supreme Lobster Appetizers

IONutrition Meal Home Delivery Review

Used to be if you wanted to take advantage of a “home meal delivery” service, the companies that were available in the genre were focused on weight loss; or you could try and put together your own plan with a company like Schwans. But lately we been presented with  a gaggle of choices from different companies,… Continue reading IONutrition Meal Home Delivery Review
