I really love Boo Berry Cereal. It is almost an unhealthy adoration, frankly. I definitely love my Mom more than Boo Berry, but totally love this cereal way more than most of the other members of my family. It pains my heart that I can only find it this time of year, but in some [...]

We have all seen Dippin’ Dots, those weird little beads of ice cream sold at Disney World and baseball games. I am a much bigger fan of a hot dog and beer at a game, so I have always passed up on this bizarre, and seemingly unnecessary, ice cream mutation. When I eyed these phony [...]

I ate a lot of Hamburger Helper as a kid. Much like I vowed to never drink Mike’s Hard Lemonade after the age of 21, I have sworn off Hamburger Helper in adulthood. I just don’t really see a reason for it to pass my precious lips. It is weird, synthetic, and frankly, that talking [...]

Apparently, things haven’t been gross enough the past few weeks. While the goal of this column is not to see how much disgusting food I can consume, I do consider myself a woman of the people. People want gross, I will give them gross. This one is a reader request. When I contract some sort [...]

“NEW!” screams the box of High School Musical Cereal. That one word caught my eye.

In the same country, we let our water run excessively, leave the lights burning, and chuck containers of leftovers in the trash on a daily [...]

When I was a little girl, I would beg my mother to buy me Lunchables. All the cool kids had them and I wanted to be part of the cool crowd. (I was decidedly not cool.) She always refused, asserting they were disgusting and unhealthy. Well, now that I am an adult, I decided to [...]

I grew up in lily white New England. My first introduction to anything vaguely ethnic was Chicken Fried Rice at the age of 13. By the end of middle school, I had expanded my horizons and moved up to the fun and exciting menu of Taco Bell. I’ve come a long way, baby, but I [...]

Last week, in a ravenous post-workout daze, I stumbled in to CVS. I was desperately in need of something, anything to eat. Not wanting to blow all the efforts at the gym, I scoured the aisles for a somewhat healthier alternative to a Snicker’s bar. In the food aisle, next to my beloved Circus peanuts [...]
