Turkey Hill All Natural Ice Cream : Vanilla Bean

Turkey Hill All Natural Ice Cream : Vanilla Bean

The best ice cream to eat, as far as your health goes, is all-natural ice cream without all the artificial additives and preservatives. This version of Turkey Hill’s Vanilla Bean has none. The ingredients are a list of five; cream, nonfat milk, sugar, vanilla and vanilla bean.

They’re “the same ingredients you would use to make ice cream at home”. That means, though it isn’t the best when it comes to taste; artificial flavors are generally better; the trade-off of being natural, thus as healthy as ice cream gets, makes it worthwhile.

Sara Lee New York Style Cheesecake

Sara Lee New York Style Cheesecake

If you’re used to seeing cheesecake with a strawberry or cherry topping, this may take you by surprise. It looks like sponge cake or cornbread from the top. It’s not until you cut a slice and take a bite that you’re taken in by the taste of cheesecake.

It’s deliciously sweet and dangerously rich. If you eat too much too quick without drinking water or something to wash it down, it literally gets stuck between your throat and chest. Not that death by cheesecake wouldn’t be wonderful way to go.

Sara Lee French Style Strawberry Cheesecake

Sara Lee French Style Strawberry Cheesecake

This Sara Lee Cheesecake, which is so “whipped” and “fluffy” when it thaws you’d be better off eating it with a spoon, tastes damn good. The one thing holding it back from excellence is that strawberries are sort of sour. It would be better with just the strawberry syrup on top. The oatmeal cookie crust is also distractingly crumbly. Not that it all doesn’t mesh well going down.

Honey Graham Oh’s

Honey Graham Oh's

Oh yes. This cereal is delicious. It’s O-shaped corn pieces with “good things in the middle” like real oatmeal. The caramel-like taste, which I’d compare to Cap’n Crunch or old school Mr T, Gremlins and Batman cereal, is sweetened with honey, graham (cracker) flour and brown sugar.

The taste is great. It’s easily one of the best cereals in that regard, but it’s too crunchy. It won’t get soggy in milk, at least not in any reasonable amount of time, but that’s the problem because it makes for a hard chew. If it had the texture and consistency of, say, Cheerios, it’d be perfect.
