When my DH makes dinner, he makes rice with nothing on it. I hate that. I like rice, a lot, but not dry...

All of their food court stuff except the soda makes me sick. My kids wanted to try the churro and soft serve hack. I was too sick after a couple bites to leave the bathroom for an hour. The manager came in to check on me.

Sure you did.

Trader joes pound plus bars are amazing!

The Kodiak frozen waffles and French toast sticks were rejected and thrown out by our family.

the kodiak stuff is mostly gross. I have been able to make the mixes work by finding specific recipes online. But I never understand people raving about them being delicious. They are not delicious at all. They are passable/adequate at best.

That's an error of 6%. Since you aren't building a rocket, you will be fine.

Rao's frozen pizzas are GREAT! I only buy them on sale because they're expensive, but they are levels above the other frozen pizzas so in my mind totally worth the sale price.

Ended up throwing both out. It had to be a bad day with broken over or trying to bring old pastry to life. They were not expired or even 1+ days old.

Grocery store bakery items are always terrible. I would never buy. Shorting, palm oil, and margarine.

Those Kodiak mixes really miff me. All the stores have replaced good mixes with that high protein dense garbage crap or with the "single serve cupcake in a POS black microwave container full of all sugar.

There used to be very good mixes for things I can't quite nail from scratch (but now I'm motivated) like lemon poppyseed, orange cranberry, cranberry, etc. Anyone can make a chocolate chip or banana chocolate chip, but some of these rarer ones are gone.

Yes- they really are underwhelming! We bought a 6-pack and they are just sitting. I guess I can add the Top Ramen seasoning to them!

My kid loves these. Note, there are different flavors.

I got Spicy Soy (gently spicy chili flavor). So bland. What flavors do you or others recommend? (Not your "kid" - not interested in that review).

I second this !! Love it.

Hun, you need to cook them.

They are really good in the air fryer.

I dislike our new Instant Pot air fryer. Nothing tastes as good as oven made and it still offgasses plastic smell. It cooks faster but is not necessarily easier to clean than a tray. Way overhyped.

i got one last Christmas and returned it for very similar reasons. I didn't get they hype. I make a lot of broth and it didn't even do that right.
