Is Kraft’s Cool Whip Free Whipped Topping a dream? If it is, don’t wake me.
You see, I am perpetually on a diet and when I am forced to watch my children eat ice cream, nothing helps me cope more than a tub of Kraft’s Cool Whip Free Whipped Topping.
Seriously, you could easily eat a [...]

McAlister’s Deli has Mississippi roots. When I still lived in Mississippi, we ate at a McAlisters at least once a week. The variety of sandwiches, best sweet tea anywhere, and dependability of service was enough to make most every one I knew a regular customer.
A little over a year ago, McAlister’s opened a restaurant near [...]

I’ve been reviewing some free samples of Glad Simply Cooking bags.
I must admit I was leery of these from the start. Microwaving and plastic just don’t mix, and these are essentially plastic bags designed for microwave steaming vegetables.
The press materials accompanying these bags claim that because no PVC is used in the bags and [...]

I’m definitely a skeptic. When I see those infomercials on TV that claim to get grape juice out of carpet or hold ten elephants over the Grand Canyon with super glue and I laugh. Hard.
When someone mentioned to me that Crate and Barrel had an item that you could just rub your hands over and [...]

Four PnP reviewers were asked to try Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters cereal. What did we think of it? Keep reading to find out!

My box of Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters arrived yesterday afternoon. While I considered trying it last night for supper, my husband wanted something more, so I saved it for breakfast.
This morning, [...]

I went on a job interview once, where the majority of the interview was me discussing what sort of food I liked, could cook and what restaurants I liked in the Bluegrass of Kentucky.
During the course of the interview, the owner of the company says “You have to try this.” and goes in to [...]

I admit, with my head held high, that I like Jello. And not just in an “Oooh…it’s SO retro” kind of way, either. I actually LIKE it. And since I also love pineapple, I thought that these raspberry pineapple Jello Fruit Passions would be pretty good.
Sadly…I thought wrong. Very wrong.
For starters, they had way too [...]

My best friend Aviva makes the assertion “There is no bad food in New York!” I have always been more cautious about restaurant choices being my father is famous for his line “We’re not trying that place until it’s reviewed in The Times.”
However, over the weekend I was in New York with my mother- famous [...]

Four Props and Pans team members were recently sent samples of General Mills’ New Fruity Cheerios. They all tried it but did they all like it? Keep reading to find out!

My kids love cereal. In fact, I have a house full of super picky eaters, so I’d say that if it weren’t for cereal, a [...]

The Props and Pans team members were sent samples of Nature Valley Crunchy Oats ‘N Honey Cereal. We all tried it but did we all like it? Keep reading to find out!

I was excited to receive my Nature Valley Cereal sample in the mail. I like their granola bars, though we don’t eat food [...]

The Nature Valley folks recently sent me a box of their new cereal, Nature Valley Crunchy Oats ‘N Honey. It says on the box “with granola bar pieces” and since I happen to like their granola bars, I figured I’d like the cereal. Well…it was good, but it was so sweet it actually hurt my [...]

The Props & Pans team was recently supplied with Fiber One Chewy Bars to sample and review. We all tried them but did we all like them? Keep reading to find out!

I know I do not get the daily recommended intake of fiber that I should, but I’ve really never noticed it affecting me internally [...]

One day, I found myself in my local Whole Foods, trying like hell to use the natural food coupons I had scored from Mambo Sprouts before they expired.
One was for a Cherrybrook Kitchens product of my choice, so I decided to give it a go: cookie, cake and frosting mixes were available, and they are [...]

I love to bake. And my love of baking has been passed on to my daughter. At 14, she’s just learning how to bake and still feels comfortable using mixes for things other than her specialty, oatmeal raisin cookies (YUMMMM). Because we’re trying to be healthier and not eat refined and processed foodstuffs, I started [...]

Whenever a recipe calls for greasing a pan, I always use cooking spray. I also use it to spray the insides of plastic storage containers before filling them with any tomato-based sauces or leftovers. One thing I have always hated, however, is the cap on cans of cooking spray. Looks like I’m not the only [...]
