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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
