Graze Box Reviews

My 2nd and 3rd Graze box…

grazeee

  • Toffee Apple: I thought I’d like this.  But I didn’t.  The sticky toffee just didn’t do it for me… and the granny smith apple slices were so tiny and chewy.  I decided to ask to not get this again in my box.
  • Dark Rocky Road: pecan nuts, dark chocolate buttons, and cranberries… why the heck not?!  This was just okay.  I wasn’t wild over it.
  • Black Pepper Pistachios: I’ve had pistachios before, but never with black pepper.  hmmm not my favorite.  I am not in a pistachios kinda mood the past year.
  • Bonnie Wee Oatbakes: red onion marmalade with cheese and chive oatbakes.  GROSS.  I hated this.

  • Java Cake: roasted hazels, orange infused raisins, and dark chocolate buttons.  The hazelnuts were excellent, can’t go wrong with dark chocolate buttons, but the orange infused raisins were weird… it was like my mouth was expecting a raisin and got an orange flavored raisin(that’s actually exactly what happened).  I guess it was pretty good.
  • Pomodoro Rustichella: Cheese croutons, tomato, basil and oregano almonds and mini tomato breadsticks… this was okay, not my favorite from the savory selection.
  • Super Berry Detox: blueberries, green raisins, goji berries, and cranberries.  (I haven’t tried this yet and will update when I do)
  • Summber Berry Compote: Berry Compote with wholemeal shortbread dippers.  Yum.  This was good.  I liked the shortbread dippers.

Jeopardy Tournament of Champions, Chicken and Waffles, Fresh Take

jepjep1

I know these pictures are terrible but my phone is ancient and Nicholas can sense a camera from a mile away.  So I snuck these in during Jeopardy last night.  This week is Jeopardy Tournament of Champions.  It’s nice to see the familiar faces of big winners from the past year… however going from a teen tournament to a champion tournament is really a shock to my intelligence – I don’t scream out nearly as many correct “questions” now.

I JUST tried Lays Chicken & Waffles Chips.  Lays recently came out with three new chip flavors, Chicken & Waffles, Cheesey Garlic Bread, and Sriracha.  These chips I just tried taste like… maple syrup… and chicken.  Weird.  I don’t put maple syrup on my chicken.  This is something I’d try but never repeat buy.

fresh take

Last night I made 4 chicken cutlets, dipped them in eggs, breaded them with Kraft’s Cheddar Jack & Bacon mix, put them in the oven for 15 on 375 and PERFECTION!  I am excited to try all the flavors now.  So easy and fun.
