Feel Good Foods - Potato, Egg and Cheese Pockets

Not bad but not great. Definitely does not look like the photo at all. 

These cost $6.99 at Wegmans and I would not spend that again but if they were on sale, I might purchase them again.

I followed the "best" cooking option: 1 minute microwave into a preheated 450 oven for 12-16 minutes. They looked good but when we bit in to them there was not enough egg mixture inside in to offset the pastry outside. But the flavor was good.

I was more hopeful as to my overall liking of this product but again it wasn't bad at all, just not as great as I wanted it to be.

Lucky Spoon - Lovely Lemon Cupcakes

 

Soooooooo much better than the strawberry ones we had. Seriously, it was like a whole different company made these. Perhaps something was wrong with the pack of strawberry ones I had. These lemon ones were even on clearance and were so much better.

The lemon cake was soft, light and delicious. The icing was a little stiff but I assume that might be due to the clearance situation... I bought them on their expiration day date at Giant. Even still, these were so good. I would completely buy them full price without question. I even thing there was a little lemon icing between the top icing and the cake. 

Writing this right now, makes me want to go back and eat the other ones. Yummmm

Daiya Pumpkin Cheezecake

 

On that same Wegmans trip that I got the Katz items, I also was able to get this item. We recently had the regular Daiya Cheezecake and really enjoyed it. So I was confident this would be just as good.

And it was, maybe not AS good as the regular one but I wouldn't turn this down if offered to me and I would buy it again.

I love the size of this cheezecake. It is perfect for two people and two forks ;) Yes, we did eat this all in one sitting! It was well worth the calories. The crust is delicious and only on the bottom so it doesn't overwhelm the actual cheezecake or the flavor. I found it to be the correct balance between the two.

I will also admit we didn't follow the defrost instructions properly and we still loved it. I should really get another one and follow the actual defrosting instructions to fully review the item ;) I guess a trip to Wegmans might be in order, although will there be any left there. They were there when I went back for the Katz items but I didn't get one then...hmmm perhaps not the best idea I had.

Katz - Fall items



For the first time EVER, I was able to get the Katz Fall items. I have wanted to try them for the past couple of years but kept missing out in the stores. Finally this year, I got to Wegmans in time and was able to get all 3 of the Fall items they released.

Working from least favorite to favorite BUT realize they are all yummy and good.

Caramel Apple Cupcakes: Delicious and great apple taste. I will say I am not of fan of the apple pieces on top due to texture issues BUT it all tasted so good. These were best counter defrosted.

Pumpkin Creme Cakes: yum yum yum. A gluten free Twinkie but pumpkin. Not as light and fluffy but still totally yummy. Good pumpkin taste and again best when counter defrosted.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Glazed Donuts: BEST EVER! Oh my goodness these are addicting and sooooo good. Seriously this is the taste I have been wanting for a pumpkin item and even for a glazed donut. I wish I had bought tons of boxes of these. When I went back a week later, everything was gone :( These were good both counter defrosted and the 10 second (I did 15) microwave defrost.

Again all 3 were great but I definitely LOVED the donuts the most. If you get a chance to try any of these, I definitely recommend them. Then come back and tell me your thoughts.
