Dessert Pizzas from Around the World

Besides the run-of-the-mill savory pizzas that you're used to, in Brazil, they also like dessert pizzas. Since Brazil has both Domino's and Pizza Hut, it's not surprising that each chain offers a dessert pie or two to complete your meal...

At Domino's Brazil, they offer a Banana Pizza and a Chocolate Pizza.

Review: M&M's - Mint Dark Chocolate

M&M's Mint Dark Chocolate features the same M&M's you know and love, but overgrown and filled with dark chocolate instead of the standard milk chocolate.

A normal 1.5-ounce bag is almost $1 these days (I remember when they used to be 50 cents a bag...).

Frozen Friday: Healthy Choice - Lemon Herb Chicken

Healthy Choice's Lemon Herb Chicken frozen entrée features chicken tenderloins with whole grain pasta, cherry tomatoes, and green beans in a herb lemon-Chardonnay sauce. It clocks in at 8.7 ounces and a very low 200 calories.

Like other Healthy Choice Steaming Entrées, it costs $2.99 in my area or around $2.00 on sale.

News: Cheesecake Factory - 1/2 Price Cheesecake Slices on July 30

So July 30th is National Cheesecake Day (they have a national day for everything don't they?) and The Cheesecake Factory is celebrating by offering any slice of cheesecake for 1/2 off (dine-in only) on July 30.

Since the Oreo cookie celebrated its 100th birthday this year, the Cheesecake Factory will also be debuting the Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake on July 30.

Review: KFC - Original Recipe Bites

KFC's Original Recipe Bites finally brings a chicken nugget to the KFC menu. KFC Bites are pieces of breast meat chicken breaded with the Colonel's Original Recipe.

KFC currently has them at a promotional price of $3.99 for a 6-piece, side, and drink. My local KFC restaurant had a 6-piece going for $3.49 so I opted to pay 50 cents extra for the combo (good call right?).

News: Panda Express Returns Peppercorn Shrimp

Panda Express returns Peppercorn Shrimp to the menu and promotes Surf and Turf Plates this summer.

Introduced for a limited time earlier this year, Peppercorn Shrimp features marinated shrimp, asparagus, chopped yellow onions, and red bell peppers wok-tossed with a signature sauce made from Thai green peppercorns and Asian spices.

The Surf and Turf Plates are not really a new addition to the menu per se (as far as I can tell, it's just Panda's two-entree plate), it seems to be more of a promotion that highlights various beef and shrimp combinations (Beijing Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Broccoli Beef, Crispy Shrimp, Peppercorn Shrimp, or Shanghai Angus Steak) from the Panda Express menu.

Review: Jack in the Box - Waffle Breakfast Sandwich

Jack in the Box's new, limited-time Waffle Breakfast Sandwich is a lightly-sweetened waffle sandwich filled with a fried egg, a slice of American cheese, and a new country-grilled sausage patty.

I got it for dinner at my local Jack in the Box for $2.79 (because they serve breakfast all day!).

News: Wendy's - New Son of Baconator

Wendy's new Son of Baconator is a slightly smaller version of the Baconator, a beefy burger for the meat and cheese set.

Where the Baconator features two quarter-pound beef patties, six strips of thick, applewood-smoked bacon, two slices of American cheese, ketchup, and mayo on a buttered and toasted bun, its Son tones it down a bit with two 2.25-ounce beef patties (junior hamburger patties), and four strips of bacon.
