Product: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Chicken & Mushroom Risotto Size: 10.5 ounces Available: Most grocery stores One doesn’t usually think of risotto and microwave in the same sentence, so I was a little skeptical of this offering from Zatarain’s.

Product: Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Brownies Size: Six 0.89-ounce brownies Price: $4 Available: Most grocery stores Brownies are by nature a decadent treat.

Chocolate milkshakes are delicious anytime. By themselves, they offer a cool, frothy drink. And with food, especially burgers, they complement your dinner. So why not in a cookie? I have made chocolate cookies with a variety of nuts and chips before, but not with candy. I had a bag of Whoppers nearby, so I decided […]

Sliders are just so darn cute and popular. That’s the criteria I look for when New Year’s rolls around. One year it was Jello shots. The next focused on the most popular way to display mashed potatoes — in a martini glass. So in keeping with trendy and tasteful, I decided to prepare a few […]

Often I grab a granola bar or cookie for breakfast. I can eat Dishpan Cookies any time and feel no guilt in scarfing down a couple with a glass of milk.
