Light Miracle Whip

This Whip is a light miracle. Honestly, mayo is so gross compared to Miracle Whip, and I don't understand the haters. The only valid complaint about miracle whip is that it's really bad for you. Probably like 100cals per tablespoon. So, in comes this bad boy, at 20cals per spoon. Is it a little bit less delicious? Yes. But is it infinitely better than mayo and perfect for mixing, salads, and sandwiches? You bet your sweet bippy!

Vegan Rob's Cauliflower Puffs

These weren't bad, as far as the VRB puff line goes. A generically seasoned puff -- onion? garlic? pepper? without much cheese flavor, but not too much "probiotic" flavor either, so we count our blessings. A decent quantity of a very average foodstuff.

Sugar River Cheese - Pepper Jack

I didn't look into it super thoroughly, but I suspect that this company is one of those fake fronts, like the DoorDash versions of Chuck-E-Cheese or whatever. I couldn't find any evidence of it existing as a cheese-making institution. But, there was no mention of nuts on the label, so that's good enough for me (for American non-desserts). This is a good, solid pepper jack cheese, and it also works for melting (although it is very oily). No complaints, makes 4 nice servings.

Fancypants Irish Cream Cookies

These are astonishingly good for a nut free cookie! The only downside is, I have no idea if they are expired. It's clearly well past St. Patty's Day, but....it's a cookie. So. The taste is hard to describe. A little cream, a little coffee, a little molasses maybe? Definitely tastes either homemade or European, both of which are good qualities. Not overly sweet, and a very unique flavor. Buttery, but not gross. Good stuff! I love it!

Haribo Roulette

I've really grown in my Haribo affection over the years! I used to absolutely hate it, because it's so dang firm. But it didn't change.... I did. There's so many fun shapes and colors and they're all nut free. This is the same way, but -- circles! Firm! Some of the flavors actually do taste different, and there's one (red?) that I especially like, as it tastes like Amazing Fruit gummy bears of my early childhood. They're still too firm though.

Philadelphia Garden Vegetable Cream Cheeese

I only bought this 'cause I used to get Garden Veggie cream cheese at Dunkin, and I only originally got that because I thought "ooh, veggie=healthy". Silly young me. This isn't healthy, but it's filling, which is great for my morning bagel! I think this isn't as good as the Dunkin version, but it's similar. Tastes more like cream cheese than like garden veggie, but that's still pleasant.

New York Bakery Five Cheese Texas Toast

This stuff bakes in 5-8 minutes the same way it takes me just 5-8 minutes to respond to an email. But other than this blatant underestimate, it's good toast. I especially like that they come in a sealable baggie inside, so I can make 1 toast per meal with my noodles. It's a good treat. No real difference between this and the lower number of cheeses -- maybe the bottom gets more burnt? But it's good nevertheless.
