QUICK REVIEW: Old El Paso Chicken Burritos Frozen Entree

/ / Reviews / 2 Comments

Old El Paso Meal for Two Chicken Burritos

Purchased Price: $6.99 (on sale)
Size: 2 burritos/20 oz.
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Decent sized frozen burritos (6″ x 2.5″ x 1.5″). Lots of beans, rice, and corn. Salsa verde has a very mild kick and decent flavor. Each burrito is prepared in its own nifty steaming bag. Thank goodness for hot sauce.
Cons: Tastes like other frozen burritos I’ve had. Pricey for two decent-sized burritos. After microwaving, the tortilla on the bottom of the burrito is dried out and tough. Not a lot of chicken (I’m lucky a chunk ended up in the picture below). Didn’t notice any cheese. Most bites were beans and rice. Some Pace salsa would’ve made it taste better.

Domino’s in Singapore now has cheesy crust pizza. Add a few more cheeses into the crust and I believe fast food law says they can name it “crazy cheesy crust.” (via Domino’s Singapore)

Post Poppin' Pebbles Burstin' Berry Cereal

I said it on an episode of The Nosh Show, but I’ll say it again. Kids will think Poppin’ Pebbles and its fizzing is so cool that they’ll bring it to school for Show and Tell. (Spotted by Michael at ShopRite.)

Yoplait Light Limited Edition Mocha Mint Yogurt

Mmmm….mocha mint. If it’s good enough to make coffee, candy, and cough drops with it, it’s also good enough for light yogurt. (Spotted by Lindsay at Target.)

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Nosh Show Episode 19

/ / Announcement

To be honest, this was a weird episode. It starts off slow because there wasn’t much to talk about during the Follow Up segment. And then we were going to try a new segment, but things didn’t work out, so we scrambled to come up with a topic for Let’s Chew on This, which ended up being questions about holiday products. Actually, we asked listeners via Twitter and Facebook for possible questions, none of which we used during this episode, but will use in a future episode. However, we did talk about a new Pringles variety, fizzing cereal, a new Chex snack, our Noshes of the Week, and more.

The show notes for this episode are available at The Nosh Show website.

Thanks for listening!
