Mini Reviews

Short blurbs on places that might/might not get a review done with. Breeze- Los Angeles, CA For lunch, the restaurant offers a decent selection of salads, sandwiches/burgers, sushi, and other seasonal items. I tried out the sweet corn chowder (8 USD), which was creamy and sweet, filled with plenty of corn niblets, peas, diced carrots, and diced celery. It went well along with the bread basket of parmesan crisps and mini baguettes. For the entree, I tried the seared ahi salad (22 USD), which offered four slices of seared ahi placed on a bed of greens and the same seaweed salad that I tried at HMart . Heirloom tomatoes and sprouts rounded out the rest of the dish.

Van's Natural Foods Organics with a Vitaminboost Waffles

Along with the two Fresh and Easy frozen food products I had bought during one trip , I also took a package of these Van's waffles. After all, the Van's Belgian waffles I had tried from Costco were pretty good, so why not try these out also? Besides, the Belgian waffles post received lots of views and comments; a famous large magazine also tried to interview me about it! And right now with this post, after I had posted the pictures for a day on Flickr, there were already more than 11 views per image. Everyone likes waffles! (to quote a friend) As you could see by the first image and the title of the post, these waffles are directed for the health conscious crowd. Six grams of fiber, five grams of protein, and made from whole wheat! Those are some great stats. Now I know what you are thinking: can something that is a healthier variation of a food taste as good or better? I felt that these were pretty good. Like any toaster waffle, these had a nice crisp after heating up.
