Rachael Ray Nutrish with Real Chicken Dry Dog Food 14-lb Bag Review

This isn't the worst quality food you could feed, but it isn't a high quality product, either. Yet the price is comparable to premium quality holistic foods-- probably a marketing decision related to Rachel Ray's starpower? I purchased this during an emergency- an ice storm had begun and I was out of dog food, so I grabbed a small bag at a convenient store on the way home from work. My dogs ate it willingly, although they didn't love it.
Nutrish foods (both the chicken and beef options) have lots of indigestible corn, artificial dyes, and gluten. Corn seems to pass through most dogs nearly undigested, leading to large stools and wasted money. Gluten was the ingredient implicated in the tainted pet food scandals over the last couple of years-- it just isn't a wholesome ingredient, and it's one I tend to avoid. The good things I can say about this food are that it doesn't use yucky slaughterhouse "by-products", and that it includes great vegetable ingredients. Overall, there are worse options on the grocery store shelves, but this is an overpriced, less-than-great food choice for your best pal.

Ingredients list, so you can make up your own mind:
Chicken, Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Corn Gluten Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Flavor, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Dehydrated Alfalfa, Dried Peas, Dried Tomatoes, Dried Carrots, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Olive Oil, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Iron Oxide, Dried Parsley, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Mixed Tocopherols,plus the expected vitamins.

My dog Isaboo loves how good these foods taste. Lucky for me, she has no idea just how good they really are for her! They've got Omega Fatty Acids with a dash of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) to keep her skin and coat shiny and healthy. A blend of fiber including oatmeal makes Nutrish easy for her to digest. Calcium helps to keep Isaboo's bones strong and her teeth healthy. For her immune system, there are antioxidants like vitamin E and selenium. Plus high quality proteins like real

HBH Enterprises Frog and Tadpole Bites 1.2oz Review

HBH Enterprises Frog and Tadpole Bites 1.2oz

If you purchase a kit to raise frogs from tadpoles so that tha kiddies can watch metamorphasis, you will typically recieve African clawed frogs. THIS is the food for them in the tadpole to small frog stage.
Be aware that if you have frogs and fish in the same tank, your FISH may REFUSE to eat fish flakes and strongly prefer these tadpole bites.
My frogs have outgrown this food and are now on adult frog food by NAMCO. My fish will eat NOTHING else but tadpole bites so I still buy it. The gold fish is now 7.5 inches and is a beautiful golden color. Forget foods that say you must buy...fill in name of expensive fish food here. Forget foods that insist your fish wont grow or maintain color unless you pay good money for their speicalized food.
I have a large, 5 ft by 1.5 ft deep, tank. I have tried placing each of two different foods at opposite ends of the tank. This is the food the animals go to. That would be a moot point if the animals were not growing appropriately or were unhealthy. These animals are growing very well for age and I have had NO problems with disease in the tank.
For tadpoles a couple of containers of this may last you a week or two depending on the number of tadpoles you have. My fish currently eats one container full every 3 days. (Ok so the adult frogs help her out with that as they can't resist, even though they have adult frog food in the tank.)
Buy one container and if your animal doesnt prefer it, you have blown a bit over a dollar ONLY.
As a side note, if you consider adding fully aquatic frogs to your tank, keep your fish separate until bigger than the frogs. The frogs WILL eat your fish if they catch them. Aquatic animals eat smaller aquatics as a rule so if the fish is bigger it is safer. When older, the fish and frogs school together and sleep together on the bottom of the tank.
I began offering adult frog food to my frogs when they were beyond 1.5 inches in length. As a start I continued to put tadpole bites into the tank as well. By watching what the frogs eat, you can judge if they still need the food for smaller frogs. The difference in foods is in the pellet size. Very small frogs find it easier to grip the small food particles in tadpole bites. Larger frogs find this more difficult. Picture you versus an ant trying to pick up a crumb of bread. Smaller animals can more easily lift smaller items to their mouths.
Consider turning your filter OFF during feedings so that this food is not IMMEDIATELY sucked into your filter. Allow your animals to feed. This takes about 10 minutes. Then turn your filter back on. If your using an auto feeder place it on the opposite end of the tank from your filter. Run your auto feeder for several days before you leave town to judge how much extra you must put in the tank to compensate for your filter remaining ON during feedings.

Wilton Checkerboard Cake Pan Set Review

Wilton Checkerboard Cake Pan Set

I purchased this set not from Amazon but from my local Michael's store - convinced by the packaging that it would be easy to make a presentable cake using their instructions.
Used two Duncan Hines cake mixes instead of recipe on box - packaging says you don't have to use their recipe so that seemed safe enough. Reading other reviews, it appears that may have been a bad idea, as the Wilton recipe is a stiffer batter. Box should have included notes to that effect.
As mentioned by another reviewer, the divider insert does not fit firmly at all - it should hook over the edges of the pan for better stability or something - even when I weighted the insert down with a soup can, pouring the batter in made it slide around and leak into other layers.
Lifting the insert out using the tabs per instructions was a mess. On the 2nd pan, I tried coating the insert with Pam spray first which helped a bit.
The tip about pouring your batter into pastry bag or ziploc bag to pipe into pans helped quite a bit and was a good tip.
Summary:
The pans themselves seemed fine, decent non-stick coating and handles make them easier to move in/out of oven. The insert fits loosely at best and is flimsy. I had to throw out the cake and make a standard layer cake instead because the batter did not in any way stay in the intended circles. Was a waste of $$ and will be donating to Goodwill, maybe someone else will have better luck.

Senseo Vienna Hazelnut Waltz Coffee, 16-Count Pods (Pack of 4) Review

Senseo recently released several flavored varieties. Having always been partial to hazelnut coffee and being the happy owner of a Senseo coffee maker, I just had to give this new flavor a try. Well, let me tell you... I'm hooked! There is so much rich flavor in this coffee it's hard to believe the drink is calorie-free. It has the complex, subtle, thick texture and flavor of a fat- and carb-laden drink. If you've been worrying lately about the effects of your daily Caramel Macchiato on your waistline (not to mention your wallet) you have to give this coffee a try. It's wonderful and guilt-free! The pods are a little more expensive than regular varieties (the package is the same price but there are slightly fewer pods per bag) but boy is it worth that little extra!
This flavor was all I needed to decide me to buy a second Senseo machine for my office. It's very quiet and doesn't bother my cube neighbors, and it's already paid for itself because I no longer spend a fortune at the coffee shop for mediocre coffee: I have my "candy bar in a cup" (to quote Paula) right at my desk.
Senseo has a winner with this one... Give it a try!
