Becks Prime's Veggie Burger


Price: $8.25
Calories: 314
Quality: 3/5
Overall: A good veggie burger

Well, i'll say that this was one of the best veggie burgers that I've tried. Although it wasn't what I was expecting, since i'm used to Five Guys veggie burgers where they just put veggies. I was so confused by Becks Prime's veggie burger that I even tried to give it back to them because I had thought they had give me the wrong burger. I later found out that it was a veggie burger when I started eating it. I could tell the difference and even if I still began to doubt I felt assured by all of the black beans that I kept on seeing when I was eating it.
It was a good burger. I wasn't really sure what Becks Prime's burgers were going to be like, but seeing the price tag, I was hoping that it would more than just lettuce, tomato's, and pickles. I really liked it. It was filling and tasted as good as any burger that I've had, maybe even better. Great burger!

Overall: A great veggie choice for when you feel like eating Mediterranean food.

Falafel! It is filling and doesn't have any meat in it. I think it is made entirely out of vegetables, but i'm not sure . It's a great meal! I really liked it!

Jason's Deli: Plain Jane Baked Potato

One of my favorite baked potatos. It's very big and filling for a reasonably, pretty cheap price! A great meal for that hungry veggie!

String Cheese Sandwich


Price: around $10
Quality: 5/5
Calories: 365 using the ingredients that I used.
Overall: Great, simple, easy to make sandwich.

Ingredients: String Cheese
pickles
Two Bread slices
Mayonnaise
Mustard

The Ingredients that I prefer:
HEB orange string cheese (any brand, or string cheese will do)
Mt. Olive's pickles (any brand will do)
Sun Beam; white bread (you can use any type of bread, but I think white bread is the best)
Mayonnaise (all mayonnaise tastes pretty much the same)
Dijon Mustard

I found out about this sandwich when I was trying to find something to bring something to eat at the animal shelter that I volunteer at. I was still into eating meat then, but I couldn't find any meat in the fridge, so I got some string cheese, mustard, pickles, and mayonnaise and made a sandwich out of them. Introducing the string cheese sand which, or as I like to call it. It is a very meat less good sandwich.

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.

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.

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.
