Mango Habanero

by The Foodie Corner

What’s up fellow foodies! I decided to try an off brand marinade for my baked chicken tenderloins and the marinade mix I picked wasn’t too bad. I bought the Great Value Mango Habanero wing seasoning mix at Wal-Mart for 94¢ and for the most part, there was a nice burst of flavor.

My main reason for buying this marinade mix was to spice up my chicken salads for lunch. It was getting boring so I wanted to add some new flavor to the mix. I’m trying to do better about eating healthy and fresh garden salads are my staple at the moment. By the time I added fresh parmesean cheese and ripe cherry tomatoes to my spring salad mix, the only thing left was to add my chicken and choice of dressing. Let me tell you, it was delish!

If there is one thing I would change about this marinade mix, I would add a little bit more habanero. It wasn’t as spicy as I would have liked it to be. It was still pretty good for an off brand marinade mix.

Saltgrass Steakhouse

by The Foodie Corner

What’s up fellow foodies! I have an amazing restaurant to tell you about. If you are a big seafood lover like myself, you are going to love this place. Saltgrass Steakhouse is a seafood lovers dream for fresh seafood dishes. If you ask me, they are way better than Red Lobster.

The menu is full of dishes packed with intense flavor which is what I love. I went to Saltgrass Steakhouse for the first time while I was in Pensacola, Florida and I’m itching to go back. The service was prompt, friendly and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. My mother and myself tried the shrimp trio dinner and it was delicious! Everything was good from the house made salad to the fresh baked bread.

If you have a Saltgrass Steakhouse in your area and you haven’t checked it out, you are really missing out. I can only speak for the one in Pensacola, Florida when I say everything was amazing!

Garden Vegetable Hand Stretched Pizza

by The Foodie Corner

What’s up fellow foodies! I have an amazing pizza that I think you may like. It’s made by Sam’s Choice, a product of Wal-Mart, and it is sure to give name brand pizzas a run for their money.

I know there are some people who tend to look down on generic foods, but not all generic foods are bad. I live on a budget and I buy on a budget and I can tell you which off brand foods are the best. When I picked up a box of Sam’s Choice Italia Garden Vegetable pizza, I felt it in my hungry gut that this pizza was going to be absolutely delish!

Here is a picture of the pizza right out of the box.

This is what it looked like after it finished baking in the oven for 15 mins.

This pizza only cost me $5, but it tastes like it would have cost me $10. The only thing I didn’t care for was the type of mozzarella used. Everything else was pretty good. The next time you are in Wal-Mart, pick one up.

SNAPPS

by The Foodie Corner

What’s up fellow foodies! I’m currently on a snack binge right now which means I have a snack I think you may like. If you aren’t into green beans, you may want to skip this one. Then again, you may not…

While I was shopping at Wal-Mart, I stumbled across an item in the frozen snack section that looked so good, I had to try it. It was SNAPPS, lightly battered green beans. Seeing how I love green beans, I knew I had to give it a try. To my surprise, they were actually pretty good; especially when you dip them in a little Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing.

The downside? The batter could use a little more seasoning. A little garlic, salt or onion powder wouldn’t have hurt. Since the batter was a bit on the bland side, I’m going to deduct a rating from SNAPPS. Even with that being said, it’s still worth a try since they are a pretty decent snack.
