I decided to try the frozen Foster Farms Tequila Lime Chicken Wings from Costco as a quick, microwavable food to have on hand. They were pretty easy to warm up - the directions state to microwave 8 wings on high for 7-9 minutes from frozen (basically 1 minute per chicken wing), so I microwaved 6 wings for 6 minutes.

The Tequila Lime Chicken Wings tasted pretty good. They had a faint citrus lime taste, but the dominant flavor is a savory, almost peppery taste. I have never had tequila, but maybe the pepper taste is from the tequila? The chicken wings were also a little bit sticky from the glaze, but not super sticky like honey BBQ wings, and they also weren't super saucy like buffalo wings.

Overall, it's a nicely balanced chicken snack.

REVIEW – McDonald’s: Mighty Wings

I tried some of McDonald's Mighty Wings. They were pretty good -- they seemed pretty big compared to the usual chicken wings, and the breading was nice and crispy. They had 3-piece and 5-piece chicken wings, and I was amazed that 3 pieces were pretty filling for me. They were a little bit spicy but not overwhelmingly spicy, and they weren't overly salty, either.

I tried ordering these again early December, but they said they no longer had them. Where did the Mighty Chicken Wings go? I was sad to see that the limited time offer for the Mighty Wings ended at the end of November... Oh well, maybe one day they will have them out again. At least I got to try them!

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!
