Miss Lindsie's food & drinks review

So, what's more better to eat?

2014-03-10T21:15:00.000-04:00

A lot of people are going nuts by saying eat more healthier by eating more meat, seafood, and poultry and also other kinds of food, but as a moderate portion. I am not sure if I would like that. Because there are dangerous ways of doing this without having more fruits and veggies and no other at all. A lot of us are wondering if this would be right? Truth is, I don't know. However, if you want to be a vegan like Total Nonstop Action Superstar Austin Aries, well you would have to sacrifice a whole lot. You can seek the PETA website that list vegan products, like Oreo Cookies. I did not know Oreo was in fact vegan. I thought it had so many fats and sugar that could kill you. But, I read on the pack of Oreo that it did not listed any eggs and milk. How could that be?

That is one question to be ask, here is another:

What's worse upon that is how much sugar our body can take. Especially to the fake kind. On Doctor Oz Show, Dr. Oz explains that the three fake sugars, which I know as the brand kind, Sweet-n-low, Equal, and Splenda, are 200 to 600 times sweeter then regular cane sugar, due to chemicals. But, how can this be? What are we doing wrong?

I only know that on his website listed the kinds. Mostly can be seen around us when shopping and on top of that, there are some at restaurants. Besides the cane sugar packets, the Sweet-n-low packets, the Equal packets, and the Splenda packets, what about other kinds? I know there is the Truvia packets, which they cost between $3 and $14 per count box and they are stevia, a natural kind of sugar that is taken from the leaf.

But, what about others? Well there are some to except like RAW honey.

Could it be a possible that I could be allergic to dairy products?

2013-10-14T13:20:00.001-04:00

I been thinking about this. I could be allergic to dairy products, due to my sinuses may effect me of eating it. I think that I need to go to the doctors and see what they said. For now, I will avoid dairy products. I think that it would help me to lose weight. I don't want to offend people, but, when I have any dairy products, in a few minutes or so, I cough up mucus. It really drives me nuts! It would make me give up dark chocolate that would have less milk solids like Hershey's. I been searching for alternative dairy-free dark chocolate, but it cost a whole lot. Anyway, the search continues.

So, does anyone know a good dairy-free website that would be easy?

I will keep everyone update on this.

Chili's (Hamilton, New Jersey) review

2013-10-04T20:07:00.003-04:00

Well, I am so angry about the service there. Our food and drinks were fine, but, the service was a disaster. I am really mad that our server is nothing more than a liar. I was with my mother and trying to have dinner, but our server, a female, with blonde pixie hair cut, and glasses, who was served us once before. She is very weird and I did not like her. But, what happened was that my mother, who wanted to do a good deed to a family, with both parents who are in the military, to pay their bill. The server for the family swore to secrecy that she won't tell them it was my mother who paid for it. However, our server became so nosy of what is going on and told the family. On top of that, our server said that other server did. Well, when she came to us, the other server said that she kept her promise to my mother and she knew that our server lied to us. I got mad as well as the other server. So, our server said that our bill was paid by the other family. It was just bad. I should said that I want to see proof, but, I was just mad. I wanted to report our server to her manger, but, he was so busy taking care of customers, because I believe the shift has got to be low.

I have already contacted Chili's online. Hopefully I will have answers within days. If I want to go back again, I would, but, if that server who served to us don't be our server again!

(Update 10/5) I got an e-mail from the guest relations and they said that they are so sorry of what happened. They are forwarding my comment to their Area Director and the management staff for their review for training purposes. I hope they can take care of the situation.

Longhorns Steakhouse (Hamilton, New Jersey)

The food is okay, but the chocolate milk is way different. It maybe because I haven't drink it for a while. Salad with blue cheese felt not up to standards. The meal is okay, but, I believe it's way too much.

Then again, the chocolate milk is the enemy. I think it could be bad.

Service is fine.

I would maybe not recommend it. Maybe, if I am not being weird.

Okay Service is getting bad.

Going Vegetarian or is it Vegan?

2013-07-14T06:30:00.001-04:00

It's a possibility of what is going on with my diet now. I am maybe going to really do this with the support of my mother, that I am really going fully vegetarian or is it vegan? I know you have got to be wondering, But Lindsie, why are you really going through with this?

Well, it's because last year, I tried to be vegetarian. I had well at least two, maybe one reason. Well let me explain. Around last year, my brother, while at work, has end up in not one, but, two vehicle accidents, with only no scratches or anything but his ego bruised. However, he went to the hospital just to make sure, but, he learned that he has high blood pressure. That made me realized that my brother has high blood pressure, due to his eating habits (eating so much fried food), stress (Well he has some small road rage, but it's not much his fault), and having not much more exercise (He bowls). Well I was nearly scared about it. It was just bad that he was going to be hurt or worse, he could died (We nearly had the same fear of him, when he was diagnose having Leukemia during his years in elementary school).

I than want to diet more and I said that I want to be a vegetarian, just like my then favorite wrestler, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's own Austin Aries. However, I learned after I got a freaking wake up call from a silly storyline months ago and watched a video during the recent Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Maxim Impact European Tour (January/February 2013), Aries said that he is vegan. I was so puzzled on what he said (Even though his twitter account still says that he is a vegetarian). But, it could be in the matter of either hours or days, I could be in that same situation with him.

I may share with you my progress of how I am adjusting this. I am not sure this will happen, but if it does, you will see.

Avoid drinks that has aspartame.

2013-06-06T16:33:00.001-04:00

My friend, Valentyna, had told me months ago, not to drink flavor water that has aspartame, because it made her sick. I agree with her, but not just flavor water that would have aspartame, but also diet drinks. If you live (or traveling) Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida and you stop at Wawa, be careful with getting their diet drinks, because they do have aspartame.

Recommend: Good Natured Crips

2013-06-06T16:26:00.001-04:00

If I need to quit eating potato chips, I would choose Good Natured Crips. There are three flavors: Original (with Sea Salt), Cheddar Cheese, and Tuscan. My mother tried the Tuscan and she said it taste like ranch. But, it's a better alternative then chips and it has fewer calories.

So, I went through a change...

2013-01-17T01:47:00.000-05:00

So, the Medifast diet is not worth it, because it got me sick. So, I am working on an alternative way. I been trying not to have meat and using an app by Martha Stewart called, Whole Living Smoothies. The app has many smoothies and you may have to download more smoothies. The smoothies are divided in six categories: Essential, Meal-in-a-Glass, Allergen Free, Weight-Loss, Immunity Boosting, and Detox. I been trying to make some, but I make alternatives. For example, when a smoothie recipe says almond butter and skin milk, I use instead almond milk, which I recommend unsweetened. It is better, because I have no ideal what almond butter is.

However, you need to make sure what you can get when you are shopping for ingredients for smoothies. For instance, when they say, use plain yogurt, use plain yogurt. I don't have any right now, because I have to use what I have, which it's Greek yogurt, which it does not satisfy me when eat it from the cup, but, it's good for smoothies.

If you are considering losing weight, I recommend this app and use the Weight-Loss smoothies category.

Medifast review: Is this worth to diet? (part three)

2012-10-22T12:37:00.001-04:00

It's day 15 and I am feeling sick. I am not know why, butt I think it's because I did not cook the MediFast pancake well (I add cinnamon) and I might drank one of the keurig drinks that might gone bad, even though I put Truvia and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk. I am not sure that would that would be the case.

Anyway, as up to date, I lost 16 pounds. I don't know if I am stopping or what. I am right now just going to drink water.

So, the next update will happen at day 21, I hope.

Medifast review: Is this worth to diet? (Part two)

2012-10-17T22:24:00.001-04:00

I forgot to blog in on the seventh day (But, I am on day 10). But, I am here to tell you, since I blog last, I lost a total of 13 pounds. I been trying their new foods that I got. There are a few things that I don't recommend. For an example, the banana shake is not good, because it taste funny. Another is the Chicken Noodle Soup, because it's don't have the taste of the soup, because it does not have like the broth or the liquid feel. The Peanut Butter Soft Serve Ice Cream is not much soft serve, unless you have a soft serve machine. The Parmesan Cheese puffs does not taste like Parmesan, more like garlic, because it's has garlic powder as on the package.

But, some I really like I do recommend, like chili nacho cheese puffs, which it's really taste like chili nacho cheese, and cinnamon pretzel sticks, because it does taste so cinnamon-ly.

Well I hope I can update again after 14th day.

I also can tell you that it's really hard to deal with.

Medifast review: Is this worth to diet?

2012-10-09T12:38:00.000-04:00

I am blogging about the Medifast diet. I start the diet yesterday and so far I lost two pounds and I am on day 2. Do I think it's worth the money? Well, for now, it's a yes, but, until I go through the week. What do you expect in the diet?

Well, you are allowed to eat the food that they sell on their website as well as eat food as strict on their booklet. You have their soups, shakes, bars, cereal crunches, oatmeal, pancakes, etc. You are allowed to have lean meats, poultry, seafood, and meatless products. You are allowed to have water, tea, coffee, and seltzer water, but look at the booklet when you are doing it.

They also want you to at least exercise too, if you want to lose weight. So, I been doing that.

I will update more of this later on at the seventh day.

Also, they want you to keep in tract of what you are eating. I am using my iPhone 4 notes app to keep in tract of my daily eating of what I have.

It's better then the HGC diet which it made me nearly weak, but it did help upon losing weight, but the Medifast diet is better. It also better then the NutraSystem diet, which it's badly been advertising by celebrities as much as other diets that have been advertised as much.

My first review-The Mercer County Community College Food

2011-09-06T15:24:00.000-04:00

Today's Date: 9.6.2011
Location: Mercer County Community College Cafeteria, Student Center, MCCC, West Windsor, New Jersey

Review: It seems that the staff in Mercer County Community College Kitchen Staff had food for everyone. It does taste good, but, the prices are mad. Last semester, a soft pretzel was only a dollar and now they raise it $.25. They have a cheese dispenser and I am afraid to get the cheese, because it might dispense gravy and not cheese. Maybe I should try it now. I hope that the prices don't continue to go up, because of the economy.
