We ended up with some sliced roasted turkey breast from Honeybaked Ham, which was supposed to be used for a potluck, but it didn't end up there.

This was the first time I had anything from Honeybaked Ham, and it was roast turkey breast. Even though it was turkey, it tasted pretty much like thick glazed ham deli slices. It was very moist because of all the glaze, but maybe a little too sweet for my taste. There was also a lot of fat in the turkey slices, so I had to cut the fat parts off in order to eat it, leaving less turkey to be had in the end.

It seemed pretty expensive at $26.99 for 2.5 lb of turkey breast, and it definitely was not worth the price. It was OK overall, and maybe Honeybaked Ham has the "world's best ham", but they certainly don't have the best turkey.

    REVIEW – Dreyer’s Vanilla & Chocolate Grand Ice Cream

    I tried some of Dreyer's half vanilla, half chocolate grand ice cream from Fry's/Kroger. My favorite ice cream flavors are vanilla and chocolate so it seemed like the perfect ice cream for me.

    Both flavors had a nice, creamy texture (but wasn't super soft like frozen yogurt).

    The vanilla seemed a little on the sweet side compared to some other vanilla ice creams I have had, but it was still pretty good. One thing I often dislike in vanilla ice cream are the vanilla bean dots in them. This vanilla doesn't have those foul dots so that was also good for me.

    The chocolate ice cream has a sweet, chocolate flavor, and it goes very well with mini chocolate kisses on top!
