As I’ve mentioned before I love making macaroni and cheese from scratch but I also like testing out pre-made versions as well. Some are terrible and some great like the very hard to find Howard Johnson’s brand mac & cheese. I’m actually not sure if it’s even still made, it’s been at least two years since I [...]
I had only seen Raviolios in an old cookbook from 1981 and just assumed they were discontinued since I never see them. As an open request, if anyone has an ad or photo of an old Raviolio can, can I have a copy? I’d love to be able to use it on differentbutthesame.

I’ve never had a Lunchable before. The concept is okay but still, to buy something like this on a regular basis seems kind of needless when it’s so easy to put something like this together on your own. But I guess they have a market because they seem to be very sucessful.
I found both Lunchable and LunchMaker varieties [...]
I thought I’d have a triple header here but Chef Boy-ar-dee only makes spaghetti with meatballs. We found this British Heinz spaghetti in a store in Vermont (where you can still buy “Gee Your hair Smells Terrific“) but I’m guessing it should be in most import sections of your local grocery store- maybe not, I [...]
Pizza seems like a hard thing to mess up: dough, sauce, cheese - maybe a topping or two. But as we all know pizza CAN be messed up and the chances of this is greater when you’re buying a pre-made, frozen pizza.
My experience with frozen pizza started and stopped with Mama Celeste and [...]
Canned ravioli was my first introduction to ravioli as a kid and I loved it. As an adult I have an appreciation for home-made or restaurant quality ravioli but I have no problem saying there is just something about the canned stuff that’s just so nice in it’s own way. I [...]
I really had to mentally prep before doing this, which meant voiding any thought of the processing plants for either of these products. I know SPAM has it’s fans and I can appreciate that, but to me it’s always been this nightmareish conglomerate of meats that isn’t really meant for eating so I had [...]
One of my favorite eats is macaroni and cheese. I love making Alton Brown’s recipe and sometimes I’m in the mood for some old school boxed kit with bright orange powder. It’s just one of those things that really hits the spot, so when I saw these single-serving microwave versions, I just had to try.

Ah, French Bread Pizza! Also known in some school cafeterias as “Pizza Boat”. There’s something about French Bread Pizza that seems to be liked by most people (except my mom) and I think Stouffer’s is more popular but I’m not sure. I did notice that in my area (lesser Boston) Stouffer’s FB Pizza was in all stores [...]
Ramen noodles are one of those things that has so many versions of I could make a site just about them, and in fact there are a bunch out there. But I chose two that are regularly found in average American grocery stores and mini marts.
It’s funny how these were a snack in highschool and [...]
