Product Reviews: Fast food & fast foam

Alert! Alert! Here is my two cents on some things you may try.

Sorry about the lack of pictures. I have misplaced my camera and until I find it these blogs are going to be a little plain :/

I know this little doohickey has been reviewed by others before but I just have to say I love it. I got this mini-beautiful foam making dynamo at Ikea for $1.99!!! It has lasted years...at least 5 so far. Once I realized how much I was going to use the thing I bought a bunch just in case it broke or got lost. However, I have since lost them since I have never had to replace it :D

To my surprise they raised the price of this gem! (however $2.99 is still one heck of a deal!)

It even makes fabulous foam on fat free milk!

Now on to some not so hot reviews.

I would love to be home and be organized and able to cook each breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But that's never gonna happen. Not for me anyway. For this family occasional fast food is an inevitable. SO, if you're going to eat out try and make it healthy...right...

This week and last I tried two different healthy options from fast food chains. Carl's Jr.'s Turkey Burger and Jack in the Box's Chicken Fajita Pita.

Okay, the first thing I need to say is that neither of these items looked at all like they are pictured in adds but who was expecting that.

Carl's Original Turkey Burger:

Overall this was a decent option for a lighter dinner. The burger the way it comes is not particularly "healthy" at 490 calories, 23 g. fat, and only 3 g. fiber. However, I had it with no mayo which I guess cuts is down a little. The burger patty tasted pretty much like any old turkey patty, the bun was wheat, and the "special sauce" was basically ketchup with relish. BUT all in all I would eat it again when we go out. Maybe I'll ask for carb free and minus the bun which will cut down on calories.

Jack in the Box Fajita Pita:

Bleh! That is basically it. @ 326 , 10 g. fat, and 3 g. of fiber the chicken tasted pressed and too peppery, it was way heavy on the onions and there was only a tiny bit of various kinds of lettuce. The tomatoes tasted like preservatives and it was really greasy. I meant to ask for no cheese but forgot and there was way too much kinda melted cheese. Ick! I usually like Jack food for the most part but not this. Opt for a different healthier lunch next time you are there.

Boo to you Jack!

See you soon,
