Cajun Chef Green Tomato Pickles and Cajun Chef Mild Pickled Okra

 

Cajun Chef Green Tomato Pickles 16 oz  $4.11

I thought these awful.  They tasted really sweet, like sweet pickles which I dislike very much.  I won’t be buying any more of these.      

Cajun Chef Mild Pickled Okra 12 oz          $3.08

  

These however I really liked, they were whole okra and were more like regular pickles and not so sweet.  I will definitely be buying more of these.

Dave's Gourmet Pasta Sauce

 

Dave's Gourmet Creamy Parmesan Romano Pasta Sauce $5.99    World market

I really enjoyed this sauce quite a bit.  I liked the tomato, creamy and cheese combo.  We made this sauce with gnocchi and grilled chicken.

Dave's Gourmet Wild Mushroom Pasta Sauce      $5.99 World market

This sauce was also pretty good just not as good as the Creamy Parmesan Romano Pasta Sauce.  This was more of just a tomato sauce with lots of mushroom chunks.  We also had this sauce with chicken and gnocchi.

Frango Chocolates 1 LB Holiday Wrapped Milk Mint Box of Chocolates

When I bought other gifts from Macys on Cyber Monday, I got these for $9.98 if I bought a certain dollar amount of other items but it would normally cost about $28.  

These had good quality chocolate with a nice mint flavor.  It was a 1 lb.  box with 45 small size pieces.  These were pretty good, and I would order them again.

NORTHWOODS CHEESE COMPANY

CHEESE AND SAUSAGE SELECT GIFT BOX $45.99 plus shipping and a 20% off coupon code

 

Every year we have a Christmas eve dinner tradition of eating cheese, sausage and crackers. This year I ordered a NORTHWOODS CHEESE AND SAUSAGE SELECT GIFT BOX from WisconsinMade.com. Which was supposed to contain:

Wisconsin Cheddar Bar (7 oz)

Wisconsin Swiss Bar (7 oz)

Cheddar Cranberry Bar (7 oz)

Wisconsin Hot Pepper Bar (7 oz)

Also included were three meat products:

Northwoods Cranberry Summer Sausage (5 oz)

two Beef Summer Sausages (5 oz each)

 

But they said because of Covid items may be substituted.

So what I got was:

Wisconsin Cheddar with Onion and Chives (7 oz)

Salami cheese (7 oz)

Cheddar Cranberry Bar (7 oz)

Wisconsin Hot Pepper Bar (7 oz)

Also included were three meat products:

Northwoods Cranberry Summer Sausage (5 oz)

Beef Garlic Sausage (5 oz)             

Beef salami (5 oz)

We just decided to cut some of everything up and test all of it. 

The Wisconsin Cheddar with Onion and Chives was everyone’s favorite.  The salami cheese was my least favorite but still good.  The Cheddar Cranberry Bar had just a touch of sweet and was a lot better than I expected and the Wisconsin Hot Pepper Bar was very tasty with quite a bit of heat

  

All the sausages were very similar.  There was a tad of sweet in cranberry and the other two; the garlic and the salami I couldn’t tell the difference between the two.

 

After I ordered and received this gift box, I was a little disappointed that some of the items were substituted. However, I ended up with our favorite of the cheeses and got to try a few different items than I would’ve otherwise.

All of the cheese and sausages were very tasty, and I would definitely buy this again or some of their other varieties!

Juan Pablo's Mexican Grill – Ogden UT

July 26, 2019

When we arrived there was not much going on.  We checked out the menu on the wall and the man at the counter pointed out the specials as well.  Dad and I both ordered the 2 enchilada plate 1 beef and 1 cheese.  Mom ordered the chile relleno special. We filled our own drinks and picked a table. Then a basket of chips for each of us was delivered.   

Then we checked out the salsa bar that contained 8-10 salsas and sauces.  The red one which a basic salsa was my favorite. I also enjoyed the chipotle cream and the avocado salsas. I also enjoyed sampling all the different salsas.   

 

The enchiladas were good and had a mole tasting sauce and with rice and beans. 

Mom also enjoyed her chile relleno.  This was a good priced lunch and good sized lunch.  We also received friendly helpful service. If in the area I would definitely return.

Two Doors Down - Cheyenne Wyoming

June 27, 2019 

After a day at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens we stopped by for a burger. We parked a block away from the place in a public parking lot. When we arrived early at about 4 PM there were a decent amount of people inside.  When we entered an employee opened the door for us and explained how everything worked and the set up. We went over to the counter to order. Dad and I both ordered the bacon cheeseburger.  Mom had the avocado bacon cheeseburger.. When we ordered the lady at the counter asked if we wanted ranch with our fries so we thought we might as well. After we ordered we filled our drinks for the first time and they said they would refill them after that.  

 Soon after they delivered our burgers.  

 I thought this was a pretty good burger.  It had decent bacon and cheese on top with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise so it was kind a like a BLT on a burger and was pretty tasty.

Mom’s avocado bacon cheeseburger was similar but had avocado spread added to it.  The fries were bottomless steak fries they were basic steak fries that were not evenly seasoned and not the most exciting.  Multiple of the employees helped us throughout our meal.  One of the waitresses that helped us was very helpful and she came by to thank us as she was leaving at five o’clock when a whole new set of wait staff came in. We were very happy with our meal at Two Doors Down and would definitely return.

Sonora Grill – Ogden Utah

August 19, 2018 

This place was right across the street from our hotel. So on a Sunday we went there for their brunch. When we first arrived we were seated and had a bowl of large tortilla chips delivered. 

 

The chips were half a tortillas size along with a red salsa and a green salsa. I think I liked the red salsa a little better but they were both good. Eventually we ordered

 I ordered the potato and chorizo breakfast burrito which came with a Verde sauce on top. This was a very tasty burrito that had chorizo, potatoes, cheese and avocado inside. All the filling was really good but the only problem was it was not very well mixed. 

Dad had a steak and egg breakfast burrito 

and Mom had different breakfast burrito I can’t remember which. They both thought these were all right. I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito and would come back for another or come another time and try something else.
