The Snack Report: Limeade Oreos
Continuing with this week’s theme of Oreo reviews (and our never ending quest to get free cookies sent to us) I am here to review another limited edition Oreo flavor out now: Limeade. I was instantly intrigued when I saw these cookies in the grocery store last week, mostly because of the bright green filling. Luckily they happened to be on sale, so they quickly made their way into my shopping cart. However I became a bit wary after running into the Oreo rep lady, who happened to be there refilling the shelves. Her opinion of them was, “They’re not terrible.” While that’s certainly a good sign, it’s also not the highest praise either. So…how did I find them to be?
Pizza Lab #19: Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza
Not sure if everyone’s aware but I stopped eating red meat several years ago for health reasons. Ever since, aside from rare occasions the only meat that I eat is chicken. I’ve seen the effects of this diet switch proven successful through bloodwork and never plan on switching back. Red meat’s nasty anyway. So because of this, you can imagine I’m somewhat sympathetic of vegetarians. Though personally I could never stop eating at least chicken due to its importance to my own personal cooking style, I can definitely commend people who choose that diet and I have utmost respect for them.
That being said, I do lament the fact we haven’t given much vegetarian-friendly support on the site outside of desserts or cereal. That’s my bad. But! This post will hopefully make up for that a little bit since we envisioned this Pizza Lab exclusively vegetarian in nature. It comes from a friend of mine who recently posted about a food place selling Buffalo cauliflower bites. Meanwhile, Buffalo chicken is a pizza that unfortunately lots of non-meat-eaters miss out on. So that’s where Pizza Lab comes in!
Also, fried cauliflower is bangin’, so any excuse to make it is good enough for me.
Cheat Codes: Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Picture the scene: It’s midnight. An adorable mid-20s couple wanders into the kitchen in their PJs with the intent of making chocolate chip cookies. Then, disaster; they discover that they are out eggs. How this happened, no one knows. But there’s nothing that can be done about it now. What do they do? Do they give up on having cookies? Do they go to bed without dessert? No! They adapt!
“But what did they do?” asks the little bird.
We Can Do It Better: Taco Bell Quesarito Recipe
Another few months, another new Taco Bell featured item… son of a bitch. Anyone who’s read our past WCDIB posts knows I used to be a raging Taco Bell junkie, but stopped eating it years ago when I switched to a healthier diet. Whereas I’d jump in my car and race to the nearest Taco Bell upon seeing an ad for something new, now I simply bow my head and shed a single tear. Fortunately though, since starting Poor Couples Food Guide, Meg and I have started recreating popular franchise foods as a hobby of sorts. Not only does it make it easier to bear the temptation, but making your own versions at home is rewarding since you can actually improve upon the source material.
That brings me to Taco Bell’s newest item. Want to know how to make your own Quesarito at home?
The Snack Report: Chips Ahoy! Birthday Frosting Filled Cookies
Last week I reviewed one of Chips Ahoy!’s new chewy filled cookie flavors – Oreo crème filled. This week I’ll take a look at the second new flavor – Birthday Frosting. From the outset we were more skeptical of this flavor. Frosting can be a wonderful thing, but many times mass produced frosting is filled with chemicals and just tastes weird and fake. So we didn’t have much hope for the frosting that filled these cookies. But we tried them anyway, for you, dear readers (and also just because we really like cookies).
