Box of Reser's Rigatoni Bolognese with Beef and Italian Sausage
Cooked Reser's Rigatoni Bolognese with Beef and Italian Sausage

I saw a box of this three cheese rigatoni bolognese pasta dinner, and I thought that it looked and sounded pretty good.

I cooked the rigatoni bolognese pasta by just following the microwave instructions. The pasta smelled kind of weird when I took it out of the microwave, and I was hoping it would taste better than it smelled.

The pasta noodle (rigatoni) was fine and didn't seem mushy or undercooked. The meat sauce was a little sweet and tasted like parmesan cheese that has had its flavors artificially preserved. The sauce with the cheese and beef had a very mushy texture. The overall taste of the pasta sauce and cheese seemed maybe OK at first, but after a few more bites it started tasting gross, and it just got worse the more I ate.

Box of Trader Joe's Gorgonzola Crackers
Trader Joe's Gorgonzola Crackers

The texture of these crackers from Trader Joe's is very light and crisp, and they have a sharp cheese taste. The underlying cracker has a slightly sweet taste. The flavoring used on top of the cracker tastes more like a sharp cheddar cheese rather than a Gorgonzola cheese, but they are still delicious. It needs to come in a bigger box -- I couldn't stop eating these crackers!

Box of Isabella's Kitchen Chicken Enchilada Bake
Isabella's Kitchen Chicken Enchilada Bake

My boyfriend got some of the Isabella's Chicken Enchilada Bake from Costco. I don't like chicken enchilada bakes (or chicken enchiladas), so it isn't something I would buy on my own. While it is microwavable, we cooked it in a conventional oven following the instructions on the back of the box.

The chicken enchilada bake was fairly rich and cheesy with a little adobo sauce. I don't like beans, so one good thing about this chicken enchilada bake was that it didn't have any beans. It also wasn't spicy at all. Overall, it was OK, but the cheese had a little too much of a sour taste for me. It also gave me a bit of a headache after eating it (probably from the oils).
