Vanilla Bean Coolatta? I think yes!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: February 5, 2012

I went to Dunkin Donuts today to get my usual croissant, egg and cheese, when I ordered a Vanilla Bean Coolatta. At first, I was apprehensive, bc I don’t drink these type of slushy drinks unless they are fruity, and figured if this had too much milk in it, it may alter the texture a bit too much.

Quick post. So coffee Mate has released a few new seasonal creamer flavors. One being “Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie ” and “Brown Sugar Maple Latte”, and as of now, as I’m sipping on a cup of coffee chock full of ”Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie ” goodness, I’m disappointed. Why? The cinnamon flavor overrides what I expected to be a smooth, velvety, [...]

Peach Mangosteen Snapple Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: October 25, 2011

I have not sen a new flavor from Snapple in a while, and while I was grocery shopping, spotted this Peach Mangosten flavor., While I didn’t see the “new” tagged anywhere on this beverage, I decided to give it a try. I love peach, and have had mangosteen and peach flavored teas (a green tea [...]

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: July 10, 2011

Not only does Publix have an assortment of fun and cool yogurt flavors for less than $1, but yogurt itself packs a punck to infection, and strengths the body.

Wendy’s Wildberry Frosty Shake Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: July 1, 2011

Wendy’s is overdosing on wildberries apparently. Berry Almond Salad, Wildberry Iced Tea and now, Wild berry shakes. Thankfully, the salad and the shake is amazing.  Now, let’s continue. The consistency of the shake is a creamy, well balanced fusion of ripe strawberries, raspberries and tart blackberries that don’t overpower the overall quality of the treat. It’s [...]

Must Try Junk Food: Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 2, 2011

For starters, the cookie is a whopping $.50, the perfect amount of money to try it, and if it doesn’t taste good, you didn’t go broke in being adventurous. (I find that to be a plus. Anyone else with me, here?) Biting into it, one will notice the chewy texture, and the golden buttery taste of the cookie, and then boom

Godiva’s Vanilla Sundae Dark Chocolate Truffle

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 15, 2011

Biting into it, there will be a sharp note of bittersweet, rich dark chocolate, followed by a creamy, delicate vanilla taste with a creamy buttery undertone. Its texture mirrors caramel (though it is cream in color), and though no vanilla beans are absent, there is a complexity of the satiny vanilla that stems from the product’s quality ingredients; White chocolate, vanilla powder, and vanilla work hand in hand to stand out on their own, but bow down humbly to the dark chocolate’s authority, both harmoniously defining each other’s tastes.

Opa! My First Greek Yogurt! (Then my second one)+ A recipe!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 18, 2011

Greek yogurt was pretty good It’s thick, creamy, chock full of protein (12 grams!) and does vary from your typical very sweet yogurts out there. It also taste a tad bit more natural than say some other yogurts that are just full of sugar. Plus, it’s so thick, I turned my spoon over and the yogurt didn’t even budge. COOL!!

I expected this to not taste that much like a vanilla cupcake considering it has a graham cracker base. Upon opening the bag, you’ll notice that there are sprinkles on your goldfish grahams to imply that is it indeed a cupcake. (Nothing spells a cupcake like sprinkles, and don’t you forget it :) ) With the first bite, I was only able to taste a graham cracker and maybe a bit more butter

Strawberry Shortcake for Breakfast? Sorta!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 1, 2011

I figured toasted almond was more easy to imagine taste wise and wasn’t as interesting compared to the pink prettiness of the Strawberry Shortcake. I picked it up, excited about what newness I’d experience upon tasting it. And I sniffed it a little. OH goodness! It was heavenly! So juicy, sweet and flirty to my nostrils! SOLD!
