Vanilla Chex

Vanilla Chex

The problem with Vanilla Chex is that they’re mixed with regular Chex, which results in a sort of anticlimactic eating experience. The two don’t mix particularly well because you (I) typically have a craving for one or the other. Imagine eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch if half of it didn’t have any cinnamon or sugar on it.

Crispy Cocoa Rice

Crispy Cocoa Rice

This cereal, one of Mom’s Best, is a more natural version of Post’s Cocoa Pebbles. That one has artificial flavor added. This one doesn’t. There are four main ingredients; rice, sugar, coconut oil and cocoa; but it’s the latter that gives the cereal its sweet chocolatey flavor. The aftermilk reminds me of those little cartons of chocolate milk we used to drink in elementary school.

Marie Callender’s Three Meat And Four Cheese Lasagna

Marie Callender's Three Meat And Four Cheese Lasagna

This frozen lasagna, which is one of Marie Callender’s best grocery store values in regard to net weight, is about as good as any I’ve had. Once cooked, it tastes and looks freshly made; sloppy layers of noodle sheets with a hearty marinara sauce.

The main cheeses are ricotta and mozzarella; parmesan and Romano are barely there; so the Four is a marketing misnomer. There are also more than Three meats; Italian sausage, pepperoni, beef and pork; but I guess the latter two are combined as one.
