I'm sort of getting tired of saying how much I love chocolate...you too? Hopefully not too much. But oreos certainly fall under the I love chocolate category so when I saw the newest Strawberry Milkshake edition, I of course couldn't resist. Limited editions of classic foods are quite questionable but this doesn't disappoint. The taste actually comes close to strawberries and chocolate without be overwhelming. The amount of cream is sufficient, somewhere between regular oreos and double-stuff. What I love most is when you eat it, it still tastes close enough to the original oreo, but distinct enough to be a special edition. Definitely worth picking up before they're off the shelves!

My metabolism is not what it used to be. I can’t eat even a snack bag of regular chips and not see it show up as more cellulite on my thighs within the week. I accept that. So the challenge for me now is to find my favorite foods in a lower calorie, lower trans fat, lower cholesterol, low sodium, high fiber, etc. ad infinitum….yet still TASTE GOOD form. I found the low calorie and 0g trans fat requirements in the Doritos 100 Calorie Mini Bites. I love Cool Ranch Doritos, and these taste just like the real things…just maybe a tad lighter. But they’re great. I’m saved, and my thighs thank Frito-Lay.
You can’t call them nutrition, and you’ll pay about double for them, but when you’re in a “Must Have Junk Food” mood, these will help.

There has to be a California Pizza Kitchen by where you live.. it probably is packed therefore requiring a 30 minute wait to be seated.. but if you are lucky enough as we are in south Charlotte to have it located within the mall, then you can at least wander around the nearby stores and get paged when your table becomes available. The waiting was the only negative aspect of this review.
The Mango Tandoori Chicken has been pretty heavily pumped by the marketing folks once you step inside the place; and yes, marketing does work on me. I happen to love mango and indian food.. but to have it on a pizza all piled on each other? YES!!! The sweetness of the mango with the tangy taste of tandoori chicken was unbelievable. I really enjoyed this dish and was happy to report that they do offer flavored iced teas too.

Its amazin how for all this time the three major pizza vendors have stuck to the basic recipes.. Logging onto Papa Johns and seeing Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, Spinach Alfredo, and a couple other cool soundin flavors. I decided to 'do it'. The Hawaiian BBQ rocks as does the Spinach Alfredo.. dont get me wrong.. the legacy flavors are great.. but Im just not a legacy totin kinda guy. I used to have a slight bias towards Dominos.. I think its cause of their crust.. but I hardly do pizza anymore that I've reset my pizza requirements and am going to start from scratch. Change it up, question and experiment is what I'm all about and that applies to my tastes when it comes to pizza too. Kudos to Papa Johns!
