Product Review: Cuisinart 3-Piece Specialty Disc Set & French Fry Method Taste Test
Let me start out by saying, I’m fundamentally lazy. Many of my friends would disagree with me because I do a ton of work to make safe food, and yeah, maybe I could eat with less variety, so that I don’t have as much I have to do. The thing is, I love food and…

Product Review: STX-4000-TB2 Turboforce II Quad Air Cooled Electric Meat Grinder

WW Product Review: Rhythm Superfoods Broccoli Bites
More road trip food! We picked these up at a Sheetz gas station, along with some drinks. I will say that this was some of the best gas station coffee I’ve had, so if you’re in the middle of Pennsylvania and need coffee, maybe stop there? I have not seen broccoli in snack foods very…
