Michelina's Lean Gourmet Three Cheese Ziti Marinara









Yuck. This might be the worst frozen entree I've ever eaten. I couldn't even finish it. Just nasty. No stars. Don't buy this. This is what it looks like after being microwaved:

Minute Maid Soft Frozen Lemonade/ Cherry Limeade

I love amusement parks, minor league baseball games, the zoo and my neighborhood ice cream truck because all of them have frozen lemonade. I LOVE frozen lemonade. It's cold and sweet, but not too sweet, and tangy and tart and so much better than ice cream. So I jumped for joy when I saw Kroger had boxes of four cups of Minute Maid Soft Frozen Lemonade on sale for $1.00. Now before you get too excited, these are four ounce cups, not the huge cups that you pay $5 for at the, but for a quarter each, they're more than sufficient. The verdict? These are good enough that I went back to Kroger and bought four more boxes of lemon and four boxes of cherry limeade. The lemon is intensely lemony and really tart with just enough sweetness to take the edge off. There isn't any of the overwhelming sickly sweetness you sometimes find in lemon desserts. The cherry limeade variety isn't quite as good as the lemon. There is a trace of bitterness peeking through, but it's still edible. I like them, just not as good as the original lemonade. Kroger has had these babies on for $1 for several weeks I don't know how much longer they will be on sale, but grab some while you can. Lemon:**** out of ***** Cherry Limeade: ***1/2 out of *****

Cheez-It Pepper Jack Cheese Crackers

I love cheese crackers! I'm actually a fan of Cheese Nips over Cheez-Its, but Cheez-Its have multiple varieties that pique my curiosity. The Sharp Cheddar-Parmesan variety was pretty good, but the Cheez-It Pepper Jack Cheese Crackers weren't very good. They pretty much tasted just like regular Cheez-Its, that's to say I found them pretty bland and not nearly cheesy enough. There was a bit of heat as an afterthought, but not enough to get worked up about. I might finish the box with some soup or a salad, but as far as snacking on them, they just don't have enough flavor to justify the effort of opening the box. ** out of *****
