A Plethora of New

Seems like the month has been flying by pretty quickly with work, art, and what not. Been kind of a blur food wise with a lot of repeat offenders/choices. Definitely need to get my foodie adventure trips going again and hit up some places. I still have a list but will have to revisit it/have fun finding new places. Also need to explore new recipes as well. So I'm open to suggestions. That being said I did manage to come across a bunch of new things in the last couple of weeks.

First off while at Meijer near the lunchmeat/lunchable area saw these on sale. I mean kind of hit a couple of pros for buying it: New, chicken on a stick, Sriracha, 23g of Protein, and altogether 150 calories for two skewers. Figured the worst that could happen I'd be out $2 (sale price) so why not go for it.

Who doesn't love a skewer?

Not sure if I had low expectations but this was actually pretty tasty. Definitely more sweet than spicy flavor wise. Not really sure if it was spicy at all to be honest with you. Still was worth the buy and would get them again. Also bought the Mediterranean version and Lily liked it in her lunch! Checking out there website this might just be exclusive to Meijer and some grocery store called Food Lion (which is in North Carolina). Definitely worth trying it if you come across them.

I have no idea why I bought this next item. (Insert shifty eyes here) Pace Ready Meals is a microwaveable "meal". Simple enough- put the bag in the microwave and cook for 60 seconds. Per the package and website: It is made with all white meat chicken, real cheese, rice mixed with corn, green peppers, pinto beans, and Jalapenos. Why would any think it would be anything but awesome?

I don't even know what I'm looking at

Now might not be the worst thing I've ever eaten but look wise it might be. Honestly I don't really recall any other flavor outside of pinto beans. As you can see from the picture- don't really see much else outside of rice and beans. Definitely a bad decision... unless of course some zombie apocalypse occurs and food is hard to come by.

I'm not a big fan of Hostess Sno Balls but this seemed fairly interesting. Things that helped it's cause the word NEW! and the fact that each one was 130 calories. I was easily persuaded.

Handling my Sno Ball...

You know how you get items that you think are suppose to taste like the product they're based on and then when you try it it doesn't? This did not have that problem. It legit tasted like an ice cream version of a Sno Ball. It was pretty uncanny. You know its good/decent when Karen likes it...then again she likes Steak n Shake so...just saying...#nojudgezone.

Ended up going to Arby's the other day as it had been a while and I was craving their curly fries. Not going to lie, I think they might lace them with some sort of narcotics. Definitely doesn't hurt the theory when you go into the restaurant and seems like drug deals are a common business in them. Serious don't think I've been in a nice Arby's ever in life. They might also be the Walmart of fast food service as there never seems to be someone ready to take your order. That being said curly fries are addictive so the price I'm willing to pay.

Arby's Fire-Roasted Philly

So above was a first time menu item for me. The Arby's Fire-Roasted Philly. It looked good and sounded appealing cause I do enjoy a good Philly cheese steak. I mean you add fire roasted red and yellow peppers and a garlic aioli? Count me in. What I actually got? (see below)

Sandwich made with love...

In case you're wondering I didn't order it plain. Some reason I think there might have been like 1 pepper slice Julienne cut to about about 4 pieces (?). I mean there was some garlic aioli on there too. Maybe a drop or two which was like watered down. I ate it cause I paid for it. Luckily the curly fries were good as always so disregarded this disaster. 

Lily wanted to be part of the blog and said take a picture of my sandwich. So I present:

Lily's Roast Beef 'n Cheese Slider

So overall was 2 for 4 in the success rate of new food items last couple of weeks. Definitely need to improve upon that. But as the saying goes can't don't knock it til you try it.
