The Snack Report: Entenmann’s French Toast Donuts
I think everyone can agree with Homer Simpson that donuts are great. They’re a breakfast, they’re a dessert, and even just a snack. They’re one of the great “on the go” foods because they’re so easily portable. Unfortunately if you eat too many donuts you’ll end up sharing a waistline with Homer Simpson and not just a food appreciation. I suppose this has been my roundabout way of saying that I’m reviewing donuts this week.
I first saw Entenmann’s French Toast Donuts in the grocery store last week, and since they happened to be on sale I decided I couldn’t pass them up. They sounded too yummy not to try, and obviously I always like things better when they’re on sale. Besides, I’m all for interesting breakfast food mash-ups (we did come up with francakes after all). I could already faintly smell the hints of French toast when I picked up the box, so I was excited to give them a taste. So, how’d they do?
The Snack Report: Chobani Green Tea Greek Yogurt
A couple of weeks ago I was at the grocery store buying yogurt to make tzatziki sauce for our Souvlaki Gyro Pizza. While in the yogurt section something caught my eye – green tea infused yogurt. Since green tea is one of my go-to teas to drink, I found this idea very interesting. It’s not an entirely novel idea to mix green tea with a dairy product, since green tea ice cream is a thing, but considering that yogurt has its own unique tangy flavor, it seemed different enough to give a try. Since it happened to be on sale, I bought it, and I finally got around to eating it for breakfast the other day. So how did green tea yogurt taste?
The Snack Report: Red Velvet Oreos
While it may seem really fancy, red velvet cake is essentially a chocolate cake made red using either natural or artificial red coloring, and has a cream cheese frosting. Though red velvet cake has been around since the early 20th century, it really seems to have exploded in popularity in the last few years. Now there’s red velvet everything everywhere. It seems like everything that can be made red velvet, is. It’s even spinning off into blue velvet and green velvet cake mixes.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, a day of love and things colored red, Oreo decided to jump on the red velvet bandwagon by releasing limited edition Red Velvet Oreos. They feature a red chocolate cookie with cream cheese flavored crème filling. So, how did they do?
The Cereal Report: French Toast Crunch Returns At Last Pt. 2
I’m gonna tell you all a secret. Well, not actually a secret, but a fun fact. In my possession I have an original box of French Toast Crunch from circa 2005, before the cereal was discontinued. It is (was) one of my most prized possessions. That’s how much I love this stuff. The idea was to hang onto it and someday, for some momentous occasion like getting married or getting a house finally, we’d crack it open and chow down. And hopefully not develop some sort of foodborne illness.
Welp, no need for that anymore now that FTC is back! Hopefully by now, everyone who wants to has gotten their hands on a box of French Toast Crunch. If you’ve never tried it before, I absolutely, strongly recommend you do. Riding on the tail of Part 1, in which I simply reviewed it, I’m going to take this opportunity to expound on the history of French Toast Crunch itself here in Part 2.
The Cereal Report: French Toast Crunch Returns At Last Pt. 1
Ten years… it’s been almost ten long years since General Mills discontinued one of the greatest cereals of all time. A cereal which not only tasted great, but also had a really fun novelty and gimmick. A cereal which produced exceptional cereal-milk. And a cereal which was pretty good for you as far as sweet ones go. I speak of course of French Toast Crunch…
About one month ago, the big GM announced they had plans to resurrect the long-gone cereal, and at long last, French Toast Crunch is back on shelves. Words can’t express what a glorious time this is for mankind. Naturally, I sought it out as soon as possible because this was going to be one of the most important Cereal Report entries this website may ever see. We live on Long Island, and it took a couple weeks for it to make it here, but now it should be readily accessible in grocery stores like Path-Mark, Shop Rite, Waldbaum’s and others…
