We purchased a 4 lb bag of Purely Frozen Organic Broccoli Florets to try from Costco. The 4-pound bag came in four 1-pound bags. We cooked one of the bags of broccoli following the microwave instructions. The instructions stated to microwave on HIGH for 5-6 minutes, and we went with 5 minutes.

The taste of the broccoli was fine... just like regular broccoli. However, the texture of the broccoli was a little on the soft and mushy side, and there was a lot of excess moisture from being frozen. The next time we had some of this broccoli, we tried microwaving it for 4 minutes, and it was still a little frozen... so perhaps the perfect cook time in our microwave is about 4 1/2 minutes.

REVIEW – Starbucks Iced Espresso Classics: Bottled Caffe Mocha Chilled Espresso Drink

Bottle of Starbucks Caffe Mocha Chilled Espresso Drink

While we were out shopping for groceries, we saw a bottle of Starbucks Caffe Mocha Chilled Espresso and thought we would try some as a treat on the car ride back home.

Unfortunately, the drink didn't have much mocha taste and tasted watered down. My boyfriend is more of a coffee drinker than I am, and he didn't like it, either. He said it tasted like bad burnt coffee from an old coffee pot in a bad gas station.

So neither of us liked it, and it didn't help that I got a headache after drinking some of it.

Baked Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries

I'm not really a fan of crinkle cut sweet potato fries, but my boyfriend's mom bought some for us from Whole Foods. We baked the entire frozen sweet potato fries bag following the instructions on the back of the package.

The crinkle cut sweet potato fries were mostly bland and tasted like regular potato fries with a hint of sweet potato. One good thing was that they were fairly crisp and weren't super mushy like other frozen crinkle cut fries. While I liked that they weren't overwhelmingly sweet, I still would have preferred a little more sweetness / sweet potato flavor.
