Extra Dessert Delights (Lemon Square) - Target : Cherry Hill, NJ

Extra Dessert Delights (Lemon Square) - Target : Cherry Hill, NJ

I loved the Dessert Delights gum when it first came out. All three of the original flavors were fantastic! As the line expanded, the newer flavors were very disappointing. Out of orange creme pop, rainbow sherbet and root-beer float…I only liked root-beer float. I wasn’t going to give any more of the new flavors a chance, until I saw lemon square. My love of everything lemon overcame my disappointment in this gum and I had to give it a try. (That and Target has a .50 off coupon on their site making the gum .49 cents.) 

Click on the flavor for photos and a review:

• Orange Creme Pop
• Rainbow Sherbet
• Root Beer Float
• Lemon Square

I love all the packaging for this line. Every flavor follows the same overall design scheme but with a color complimentary to the dessert flavor. Lemon square is bright, cheery, and refreshing to look at. The yellows are bright, without being obnoxious or blinding.

Dr. Oetker Crème Caramel - SunSeng Market : Pennsauken, NJ

Dr. Oetker Crème Caramel - SunSeng Market : Pennsauken, NJ

I made this brand’s instant Crème Brûlée a few weeks ago. On a trip to the SunSeng market we actually found another one of these kits. This time it’s Crème Caramel. (It kind of looks like instant flan to me.) 

My sister actually whipped this one up, and said it was very easy. The process was very similar to the previous kit. It had a packet of instant custard and a packet or caramel syrup. All you need to do is add is milk.

Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers - Sam’s Club: Cinnaminson, NJ

Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers - Sam’s Club: Cinnaminson, NJ

I have had Cafe Steamers before, just not this specific flavor. So far I like the Chicken Margherita the most, but can this one top it?

The packaging is very nicely done and convenient. All you have to do is remove the cardboard exterior and everything else goes right into the microwave. No poking holes or peeling plastic…which is great. I really love the packaging, these bowls are fantastic for preschool art projects. I clean them up and use them to hold materials, or mix cinnamon clay in.

This specific flavor is Chicken Marinara. Inside there are noodles, broccoli, and tomato sauce. I wasn’t able to see any Parmesan cheese. (Even though it says there is cheese on the box and you can see it in the photo.)

BLT Cheeseburger and Cheese Fries - Eddie’s: Pennsauken, NJ

I am finally feeling better! So, I opted for some take out food. Odyssey Pizza, where I normally order my take out, has been renamed Eddie’s by new owners. So I figured I’d order something to see if the food was still the same.

Ling Ling Potstickers - BJ’s: Moorestown, NJ

Ling Ling Potstickers - BJ’s: Moorestown, NJ

I signed up for BOTH BJ’s and Sam’s Club. Which sounds crazy… but I have a lot of get-togethers at my place so having both memberships has been great!

I had a coupon for these pot stickers, so I decided to grab a bag from BJ’s (the only wholesale club that accepts coupons). The bag is huge, and includes dumpling sauce. Personally, I prefer my potstickers with sweet chili sauce, but the included sauce is nice too.

Jet Puffed Mallow Bites(German Chocolate Cake) - Target: Cherry Hill, NJ

Jet Puffed Mallow Bites(German Chocolate Cake) - Target: Cherry Hill, NJ

Did you guys know marshmallows are great for sore throats? I’m not sure if German chocolate cake ones are, but no harm in trying! 

The bag is kind of ugly. (Notice how it wasn't the first image I posted?) I have to admit the design wasn’t very appealing and the overall look wasn’t what made me pick them up. The color of brown used for the bag is a bit on the red side, and not really what I would consider a “chocolate color.” The bag is made with a foggy plastic (or the marshmallows inside made it look foggy) and the illustrations makes everything look like cousin IT from the Addams Family.

Brownie Mix Cookies - Pinterest Recipe Review

Brownie Mix Cookies - Pinterest Recipe : The Pin

I’m sick. So what do I want to eat? Soup? Pft, no way! I want chewy chocolate cookies. Since I am sick, and very tired, I want an easy recipe. So I found this one on Pinterest for chewy brownie cookies.

The recipe is VERY easy to follow, and the ingredients are most likely already in your pantry. All you need is flour, brownie mix, oil, water, and 2 eggs. (Chocolate chips are optional, but who are we kidding?

I was able to whip up this batter and have it in the oven within 15 minutes.

Calbee Sweet Potato Chips - SunSeng Market : Pennsauken, NJ

Calbee Sweet Potato Chips - SunSeng Market : Pennsauken, NJ

The only English on this baggie was “Sweet Potato Snack Original Flavor.” Since my sister loves sweet potatoes, we decided to give it a try.

The packaging is VERY busy, because not only do you get chips, but each bag contains pieces of a game. You can get player pieces (like we did) or bits of a game board. Including a game with this snack is a great idea, I bet kids would really love having something like this in their lunch bag.

Mì Lẩu Thái (Instant Ramen) - Asian Food Market : Cherry Hill, NJ

Mì Lẩu Thái (Instant Ramen) - Asian Food Market : Cherry Hill, NJ

I was such a fan of the (imitation) chicken flavor, that I bought another package of Mì Lẩu Thái instant ramen. This time I have the seafood flavor variety.

The packaging is bright and eye catching, just like the other flavor. I love the photo on the front. Even though I know my ramen won’t look anything like that…it makes the soup look spicy and delicious.
