Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen Veggie Burger


Price: $4.99
Calories: Unkown
Quality: 5/5
Overall: A really good veggie burger.

This past week, I decided to try a restaurant near my house called Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen. I had saw on their menu that they had veggie burgers, so I wanted to try theirs. I was really happy I did! I think it was one of the best veggie burgers that I've ever had. If you want to call it a veggie burger, it tastes more like a veggie chicken sandwich, they way they made it. I'm not sure if any of you vegans, or fellow vegetarians have eaten a chicken sandwich before, but they were my second choice, sometimes first choice of things to get at any fast food restaurant and I kind of have been missing them.
Yes I am against eating animals, but I really liked those chicken sandwiches! And i'm glad that Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen has decided to make them the way that they did. It tastes just like those chicken sandwiches with the lettuce tomato at the bottom and the mayonnaise at the top. It was a good veggie burger! Thanks Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen!

Randall's Basil Soup Bread Bowl


Price: Below $5
Calories: Maybe around 500, not sure
Quality: 5/5
Overall: A lot of great soup for a cheap price.

If you love bread bowl soups as much as I do and are missing Quizno's bread bowl soups (where I had eaten my first bread bowl soup, or even heard of the idea), then Randall's has just the soup for you. Come on in during lunch, or dinner and grab one of their delicious soups. I chose basil, being one of their only true vegan soups. There is macaroni and clam chowder soup, but the macaroni isn't really considered vegan and also can only usually be bought before 7 pm, during lunch time. The macaroni is not considered vegan because it has cheese which comes from animals. I recently learned this from a vegan meet up that I had went to the other day. Anything that comes from animals, including milk and eggs is not considered vegan. It is vegetarian though.
Anyway, back on topic Randall's bread bowl soups are a good choice for the non-meat eater. It just depends on which soup you get.

Whataburger's Chocolate Shake And Fries

Price: I think around $5
Calories: 1910
Quality: 3/5
Overall: Not my favorite shake, but good size of fries.

I had tried this shake because I was tired of getting the Mcdonald's chocolate shake and I heard that Whataburger's chocolate shake was a better one. I'm not saying that it is, or isn't, but my first impression of it was that it was neither better, nor worse. I can't really compare the two shakes because they taste completely different. Although I would probably prefer Mcdonald's chocolate shake over Whataburger's. 
I don't know I think Whatburger's chocolate shake, just has too much chocolate, or something that I don't like. I'm sorry to say, but I really didn't enjoy Whataburger's Chocolate shake, but I did enjoy the fries!

Spaghetti Without The Meatballs


Price: around $5
Calories: around 200 (spaghetti and sauce) and 400 with the meatballs (3 meatballs is around 200 calories) So adding meatballs adds about half of the amount of calories in your spaghetti, so your also losing weight as well, by not adding the meatballs.
Quality: 5/5
Overall: Spaghetti and sauce, what's better?

For this meal, my family made meatballs and spaghetti. Luckily for me they made the meat balls and spaghetti separately, so I could get some spaghetti and pour some sauce in from the tray of meat balls which unfortunately, they didn't separate, but that's ok! I managed to get the sauce out without getting any meat in my spaghetti.
One of my first without the meats, a great way to skip it! A great meal, I love spaghetti. It's very cheap and filling. Another cheap and filling meal.

Easy Cheese Bread

Price: around $5 for a love of bread and a bottle of string cheese.
Calories: 150
Quality: 3/5
Overall: It's just a piece of bread and string cheese.

Slice of bread and string cheese! Great breakfast, or snack! It used to be my favorite thing to eat, but now I don't really like it has much.

Mc Donald's Fries And Shake!

Price: Under $5
Calories: 1080
Quality: 3/5
Overall: It's ok, but not one my favorites.


This is the first shake that I started to it french fries with. I really liked it at first, but I started to dislike it more  the more I had it. It just has too much of something, but I can't really think of what it is. It's still good, but it's not one of my favorites.

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.

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.
