So, what are you eating right now?


I still haven't made it out to Whole Foods (or Roche Bros), and my last random trip to Wegman's was pretty boring. So, I've just been buying what's on sale. I had been on a streak of just mixing Turkey Hill's all natural vanilla with whatever was laying around (usually cookies), but the last few weeks it's been about chowing down on the Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs stashes.


I made these this morning using some cheap strawberry cookies and some Haagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream. The ice cream was definitely better than the cookies. I have a smidge of Beach Day left and I also threw that on a bit of cookies and that combo actually worked better that this combo. Oh yeah, the pink crumbs are smashed Ghostbusters cereal (I'm pretty sure I liked the original Ghostbusters cereal so I had to try the new one).

So, what are you eating right now? It can be a goto favorite or something new or something you think doesn't get the attention it deserves. And you aren't limited to just one answer either.

Have a good week everyone!

Do you like the new Haagen-Dazs packaging?


Sorry for the lack of posts. Real life has been very busy while there's not a ton going on in the freezer aisle. So, let's ask a question: do you like the new Haagen-Dazs packaging?


H-D was on sale this week, so I stocked up a bit (to off set all the Ben & Jerry's in the chest freezer). I'm happy with my choices, though admittedly they didn't have a ton to choose from.


This was the first new pint design that I saw and it's probably still my favorite. I like the colors and I also like how the flower inspired the overall pattern. Now go back to the first picture and you will notice the flavor also inspired those background patterns as well.


And this is the Haagen-Dazs caramel cone ice cream sundae I made with the new Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch cereal. Ahhh, fun times. I devoured that caramel cone pint which then encouraged the four pint purchase above.

Apparently I haven't figured out my new phone yet...

So, yeah, Haagen-Dazs is still tasty and now comes in updated packaging. This is now the fourth pint design that we've seen since I started the blog (there was the design when I started in 2008, redesign in 2010, redesign in 2017, redesign here in 2021)

Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean & Double Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich


[New for 2021] What's in the freezer right now? Not much in the way of treats, but I have a hopeful suspicion that I will like these more than the chocolate/chocolate version

Ben & Jerry's Chillin' the Roast Truffles Ice Cream


[2018-2020] So, y'all remember that I used to pawn off coffee reviews on Nick because I hate coffee right? Well, this aging pint crossed paths with me so now I have to try...

Baskin-Robbins Hidden Treasure Ice Cream


[New for August 2021] More Baskin-Robbins? Oh yeah. Nothing like receiving back to back shipments of free ice cream. Good times!
