Box of Jose Ole: Frozen Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos
Jose Ole: Frozen Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos

I bought a box of frozen Jose Ole Mini Tacos with beef and cheese because the box was on clearance for $2.50 at Safeway.

The microwave instructions on the box state to microwave 8 frozen mini tacos on a plate for 1-2 minutes.

I didn't feel like eating 8 tacos (even though they were small) so I warmed up 4 mini tacos in the microwave for 50 seconds.

The main thing I tasted in the tacos was a weird blended meat and nacho-y cheese taste. There also seemed to be pieces of gristle in the beef, and it was pretty oily. For me, the tortilla was the best part of the tacos.

My boyfriend also tried some, and he didn't think they were too bad and stated that they tasted fine.

Although he thought they were OK, I didn't really like the tacos at all, and I couldn't eat more than two of them. After eating some of my second taco, I decided to just eat the tortillas because I couldn't stand the taste of the beef and cheese.

Box of Bertolli Italian Sausage & Meatball Rigatoni
Bertolli Italian Sausage & Meatball Rigatoni

I tried some of this Bertolli Italian Sausage & Meatball Rigatoni frozen pasta and cooked it using the microwave instructions on the box.

The rigatoni pasta actually turned out to be pretty good. The sauce was a cheesy tomato sauce and it wasn't too sweet or salty. The cheese also thickened up the sauce a little bit.

There only seemed to be three meatballs and three pieces of sausage in the package, but they tasted fine. The meatballs tasted like typical meatballs. The sausage tasted very similar to the meatballs, except they had a sausage texture.

It was good for a single frozen pasta meal. Not only did it taste good, but it was also pretty filling.

Can of Progresso Light Vegetable Soup
Progresso Light Vegetable Soup

I tried some of this light vegetable soup because I was sick with a cold.

Just like with their chicken noodle soup, the noodles (spiral pasta) were OK, but all the vegetables seemed to just dissolve in my mouth. The soup had a strong, sour tomato taste that got worse as I ate more so I didn't really care much for it.
