    Nabisco belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits (Banana Bread and Cinnamon)

    Purchased Price: $2.98 each
    Size: 5 breakfast biscuits
    Purchased at: Walmart
    Rating: 7 out of 10 (Banana Bread)
    Rating: 6 out of 10 (Cinnamon)
    Pros: They smell wonderful and look good enough. Banana Bread flavor tastes pleasant and real. Cinnamon has a mild flavor with a hint of raisin. Soft like fresh cookie and not as dry as some other oatmeal treats. Has B vitamins and five grams of fiber. No HFCS or partially hydrogenated oils.
    Cons: Regular crunchy belVita is better. Makes crumbs when grubbing on the go. A bit dry. Oh, geez, don’t dunk them in milk unless you like instant mush. Made on equipment that processes nuts. Dreaming that they came out with a pumpkin bread or apple variety.

  • QUICK REVIEW: Marie Callender’s Mini Carrot Cakes

    Marie Callender's Mini Carrot Cakes

    Purchased Price: $2.50
    Size: Two cakes
    Purchased at: Market Basket
    Rating: 7 out of 10
    Pros: Definitely better thawed than microwaved. Gentle carrot cake smell and fairly complex flavor. Sweet icing and fun spongy texture. Occasional carrot shreds. Less saturated fat than the Marie Callender’s Chocolate Satin Mini Pies
    Cons: The size of a small cupcake. Unexpected walnuts that I mistook for raisins on first glance. Frosting might slide off during heating. Heating leads to inconsistent temperature. Less filling when heated. Having to wait for it to thaw for a better experience. Strange yellow chunk of… carrot?
