I have been looking for a calcium supplement to take, and I decided to try Costco's Kirkland Signature chocolate flavored soft chews.

When I first tried a Kirkland Signature calcium chew, it wasn't too bad (at least not as bad as some chews I have tried in the past). They tasted OK considering they are a calcium supplement + vitamins D and K. They were pretty chewy and didn't really taste like chocolate. They basically tasted like Tootsie Rolls, except they are creamier and softer. So, they weren't really disgusting, but they weren't delicious, either (maybe because I don't really like Tootsie Rolls much).

However, when I started eating them on a daily basis, they became increasingly gross to me, and I couldn't eat them any more. They went from tasting OK to "blegh" pretty quickly.

REVIEW – Isabella’s Kitchen Chicken Enchilada Bake from Costco

My boyfriend got some of the Isabella's Chicken Enchilada Bake from Costco. I don't like chicken enchilada bakes (or chicken enchiladas), so it isn't something I would buy on my own. While it is microwavable, we cooked it in a conventional oven following the instructions on the back of the box.

The chicken enchilada bake was fairly rich and cheesy with a little adobo sauce. I don't like beans, so one good thing about this chicken enchilada bake was that it didn't have any beans. It also wasn't spicy at all. Overall, it was OK, but the cheese had a little too much of a sour taste for me. It also gave me a bit of a headache after eating it (probably from the oils).

OK

I don't like pumpkin pie custard, but I do love pie crust, so when I tried some of Costco's pumpkin pie, I mainly had the crust.

Delicious Costco pumpkin pie crust!

Costco's fresh baked pumpkin pie definitely has a delicious pie crust! The pie crust is flaky with a nice, buttery taste. Also if you warm it up, the crust kind of tastes crepe-like.

My boyfriend says the custard part of the pie has a robust pumpkin flavor (not an artificial pumpkin taste) and is pretty sweet and also delicious!
