Review: Grace Island Baked Cheese Crisps by Amy Dungan

When I first heard about this tasty sounding new product called Grace Island Baked Cheese Crisps, I'll admit to having high hopes.

Review: Maine Cottage Foods Dark Chocolate Almond Bark by Amy Dungan

I'm a chocolate fanatic, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm pretty sure you could dip just about anything in chocolate and make it edible. Since starting my low-carb lifestyle in 2001 I've tried several brands of sugar-free chocolates. While most of them taste good, those containing sugar alcohols usually start a storm raging in your gut that would make a tornado jealous.
