Fengleng's Chow mein Noodles

Price: around $ 6
Calories: probably around 600
Quality: 2/5 
Overall: Great noodles, but they kind of tasted weird the last time I had them.


These chow mein noodles came with meat, but I think you can probably ask them to make the noodles by themselves. These noodles used to be one of my favorite things to eat, but last time I ordered them they tasted a little weird, more like fast food buffet noodles, which I don't like. I don't why, maybe they just messed up, or something. Either way, I've been apprehensive about ordering them ever since. But if you are hungry for some chow mein noodles and are willing to try them out they are at least a cheap filling meal for you, or your family.

Domino's Bread Bowl: Chicken Alfredo Pasta

                                       Price: $6.48
                                       Calories: For the bread bowl, 1340-1470,
                                                     In tin, 540-670;
                                                     maybe a little less without the chicken.
                                       Taste: 5/5
                                       Quality: 5/5
                                       Overall: A great meal!

This is one of the first without the meat ideas, if not the first without the meat ideas. My mom wanted to order the Chicken Alfredo Pasta, but I didn't want it because it had chicken in it. So, she said to take it out.
I reluctantly agreed to this, tried it, and thought it tasted good. A couple of days later, I wanted something to eat.
I went down to the local Domino's. This time I asked him for the Chicken Alfredo Pasta, but without the meat. They agreed and actually charged me less. The price is usually $7.57 for the bread bowl with the chicken; the tin is a little bit less, but I like the bread bowl.
So, not only do I get to save some a chickens, but I also get to save some money as well! What a great deal!
I really like bread bowls and I think Domino's Chicken Alfredo Pasta is one of the best. The warm garlic bread fill with cheese and pasta taste really good. A nice filling meal for a reasonable price.

Denny's Pancake Puppies

Price: $1.99 for 6 pc and $2.99 for 10 pc.
                                      Calories: 400 for 6 pc and 860 for 10 pc.
                                      Taste: 4/5
                                      Quality: 4/5
Overall: An interesting way to eat pancakes; very filling, more filling than regular pancakes, a great value.

I wasn't really sure about them before I ordered, but I wanted to try something different. If you know what hush puppies are, then you'll pretty much guess what these taste like; like pancake mix inside instead of what they usually put; I think just regular flour.
Anyway, the pancake puppies were really filling. I was surprised that the price was so low. I guess it's because they are in the appetizer menu.
I think this is something you should order if your on a budget, hungry, and in the mood for pancakes.

Taco Cabana's Re-fried Beans And Rice

   Price: $1.99, or $2.59 each, for a large rice and large re-fried beans; $5.18 dollars total.
   Calories: unknown
                                                              Taste: 5/5
Quality: good
Overall: Good re-fried beans and rice, can serve 4 people; great value.

I got the side order of re-fried beans and rice for free so, I don't know the exact price. Also the tortilla came from the enchilada meal. I had been meaning to buy the beans and rice separate when I was ordering 4 enchilada meal's for my family. I had decided to order 4 meals rather than order the enchilada's, rice, and beans separately. The total was going to be a $19.80 if I had bought them separately and about $25 for 4 meals. 
     Since I wasn't sure if there would be enough re-beans and rice for my family. I had decided to order the 4 meals instead. I was kind of annoyed with myself and had thought that I had missed out on a good deal, but when I had got home I noticed that the cashier had put two free large rice and re-fried beans for me. I was happy and found out that there would have been plenty of rice and beans for the 4 of us.
It is a great value. Good for someone who's looking for a filling snack, lunch, or dinner; maybe even breakfast!
      Before I end this review I would like to thank the cashier at Taco Cabana for giving me the free re-fried beans and rice. Thanks!

Domino's Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich

Price: $6.48
  Calories: 670
Taste: 5/5
Overall: A good sandwich for a reasonable price.

Being new to this idea of not eating meat and not feeling like eating any more bread bowl pastas (I'll show y'all later) I decided to order this sandwich instead. My first impressions were that it looked kind of weird, but it tasted good. Kind of like a mix between Subway and Quizno's. The jalapeno's are the only thing that make it taste like a Subway sandwich. I thought it was pretty good. A great substitute for meat. It's got good taste and it fills you up. The only problems that I had with it were that some of the ingredients kept falling out, but other than that I thought it was good.

Jam



                                                                   
I'm having trouble with blogger so, i'm going to have to tell y'all the information in the description. The price is about $10 and the calories are about 180 per bread slice with jam, so two bread slices with jam on each slice would be about 360 calories. On the taste scale, I would give it a 3 out of 5 because the bread tasted kind of weird. Not sure why. The bread wasn't old, but it tasted different than what it usually tastes like. The quality seemed to be good. Overall, Nothing special just a nice simple breakfast, or snack.
Especially with tea! As you can see in the top right hand corner of the last picture.

Honey Nut Cheerios


Price: About $3
Scale: 12.25 oz
      Taste Scale: Good.
                                                           Quality: Good
                                                       Overall: Good breakfast that doesn't include meat.

Honey Nut Cheerios, a great tasting breakfast without any meat. Mine unfortunately had been sitting on top of the refrigerator for a couple of months and were now stale, but still tasted great. Just not as great as they would have if they were brand new. They kind of tasted like regular Cheerios which is ok. Either way it was a great tasting breakfast that didn't include meat.

     Taste scale: 5/5

HEB Three Cheese Quich

Price: $7:48
                                                             Scale: 24 oz/1.5 lbs
                                                             Taste scale: 5/5
                                                             Quality: good
                                                             Overall: A good quiche for a good price.

I was kind of skeptical about about it at first not knowing what a three cheese quiche would taste like. I don't know why they called it a three cheese quiche since their seems to be only one type of cheese in it. The whole quiche is just one layer of cheese. The taste is the same as any other quiche, just without any kind of toppings in it. I thought it was pretty good. It tasted alot better than I expected it to. I wasn't really sure how it would taste with all that cheese, but it tasted the same as any other quiche that I've had. I thought it was good and filling. I think it is a great choice for someone looking for something filling and tasty that doesn't have any meat in it. A good choice, a good buy.
