Wendy s North Pacific Cod Sandwich

Wendy’s North Pacific Cod Sandwich is back, but its weak tartar sauce has been replaced with a creamy dill tartar sauce made with pickle relish. Also new to the sandwich are slices of dill pickles. The sandwich still features a wild-caught North Pacific cod fillet that’s lightly breaded with panko crumbs, lettuce, and a toasted bun.

Wendy’s North Pacific Cod Sandwich is available for a limited time and has a suggested price of $3.69.

The sandwich has 470 calories, 21 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 1090 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fiber, and 18 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS: IHOP Criss-Croissants

/ / Fast Food News / 10 Comments

IHOP Criss Croissants

IHOP could’ve been like other chains and come out with their own donut-croissant hybrid. But, apparently, IHOP also stands for I Have Other Plans. Instead of a donut-croissant hybrid, IHOP has created a waffle-croissant hybrid — the Criss-Croissants.

They feature croissant dough baked in a waffle iron, then they’re filled with a sweet cream, folded over, and topped with fruit. Criss-Croissants are available in two varieties. Blackberry Lemonade features a waffled croissant filled with lemonade cream and topped with blackberries. Strawberry Rhubarb is a waffled croissant filled with sweet cream cheese and covered with a strawberry rhubarb topping.

Criss-Croissants are available as part of a breakfast combo at participating IHOP restaurants until April 5.

An egg combo with a Blackberry Lemonade Criss-Croissant has 1060 calories, 55 grams of fat, 19 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 650 milligrams of cholesterol, 1110 milligrams of sodium, 111 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 45 grams of sugar, and 31 grams of protein.

An egg combo with a Strawberry Rhubarb has 1070 calories, 67 grams of fat, 26 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 685 milligrams of cholesterol, 1210 milligrams of sodium, 86 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 27 grams of sugar, and 30 grams of protein.

Hood Limited Time Only New England Creamery Jelly Donut

Mmmmm…donut. Or, in other parts of the country, Mmmmm…doughnut. (Spotted by Debra at Market Basket.)

Blue Bell Marbled Cream Cheese Brownie Ice Cream

It’s a combination of milk chocolate ice cream and cream cheese ice cream loaded with tasty chocolate brownies and a chocolate sundae sauce swirl. The Ice Cream Informant has a review. (Spotted by Ryan at Walmart.)

Trader Joe's Kale Sprouts

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn’t belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others by the time I finish my song? (Spotted by Sylvia at Trader Joe’s.)
