The other day, on March 2, 2026, my mother, Chad, and I decided to go out for an early dinner instead of cooking at home. Since we were already in Pikeville, Kentucky, running an errand, we stopped by Applebee’s Grill + Bar. I noticed a new item on the menu I wanted to try, and Chad was curious about it too—the O-M-Cheese Burger. The O-M-Cheese Burger is served in a sizzling skillet of molten queso and a blend of cheddar cheeses. The all-beef burger is topped with American cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon, and spicy honey mustard, with fries on the side. Before our burgers arrived, Chad ordered some appetizers for the table: Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese Dip and Spinach & Artichoke Dip (a free appetizer, a $25 deal for two O-M-Cheese Burgers). I decided to skip the appetizers, so I wouldn’t get too full before my burger arrived. For a drink, I ordered a Sugar-Free Red Bull. Normally, I prefer Monster Energy Zero, but since Applebee’s didn’t have it, Red Bull was the next best option. The O-M-Cheese Burger is priced at $11.99, but the Pikeville location was offering a deal: two O-M-Cheese Burgers and one free appetizer for $25. Chad and I decided to take advantage of that offer. Keep in mind that the O-M-Cheese Burger is a…
A few people told me I should write about my diet journey, where I have lost over sixty pounds, and how I did it, especially since I am a wheelchair user. It was a good idea to write an article about my diet journey in case some people wonder how I do it so that they learn from it and apply it to their diet. Before I start writing my diet journey here, I would like to make a disclaimer that I am NOT a doctor, a nutritionist, a dietitian, or an expert regarding diet. If you are seeking help with your diet, I recommend chatting with your doctor or getting yourself a dietitian or nutritionist. Also, what I did and how I did for my diet does not mean it would work for everyone else, as we are different. That is where the trials and errors come in until we know what works and what does not. But here is my diet journey, which was not easy! The Journey This wasn’t my first diet journey. I went on a diet a few years ago, which was in 2013, and at that time, before I went on a diet, I weighed around 160, then started losing to 94. At that time, my goal was 80, and I didn’t accomplish it…
Subway has launched new items on their menu and calls them series. You can choose from a few different items in the series. Under that series, there are a few, but for Deli Heroes, it has #99 Grand Slam Ham, #15 Titan Turkey, #17 Garlic Roast Beef, and #30 The Beast. Another is Cheesesteaks, which has #1 The Philly, #33 Teriyaki Blitz, #2 The Outlaw, and # The Monster. Another one is Italianos, which has #23 The Hotshot Italiano, #18 The Ultimate B.M.T., #4 Supreme Meats, #6 The Boss, and #5 Bella Mozza. Another is Chicken has #16 All-Pro Sweet Onion Teriyaki, #20 Elite Chicken & Bacon Ranch, #8 The Great Garlic, and #9 The Champ. Another last is Clubs, which has the #19 Pickleball Club, #10 All-American Club, and #11 Subway Club. If you ask me what is up with these series, numbers, and names, it is sports such as NFL players customized subs; they tell Subway what they would like to have for their sandwich, and then what would they name it? Then, put them on their menu as a series and let the customers have a taste of them, especially if they wonder how their favorite players like their sandwich at Subway. You can check out what these have, such as toppings, what kind of bread, and…
There are many energy drinks that every consumer can choose from, but I am only talking about one of them, and that is Monster Energy energy drinks. They have many different flavors; some are good, some aren’t; although Monster Energy is my favorite brand, I drink a couple or three cans daily. One flavor they released not too long ago was Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen, so that is the one that I am going to review today. The Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen’s taste is self-explanatory because when you take a drink, you will taste the peach good. However, it is more of a watered-down peach than the full sweetness of the peach but not too much of a water-down in the peach flavor, which is a good thing! I think anyone with diabetes or who doesn’t like sugar will be surprised with the Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen, as my mother and Chad were, because they both have diabetes. Still, after I got a can to try, I also gave both some to try for themselves. Then they immediately fell in love with Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen, which says a lot about how delicious it can be. In my opinion, it is delicious, especially when it comes to having no sugar in them, and it does surprise…
The other day I decided to order some saffron after watching a few foods and cooking television shows because I often saw them using saffron in many of their foods, so that had me wanting to give saffron a try. I have never tried them before. So, I have decided to look up what saffron is all about and saw that it comes from some flowers. They are well known in Iran, where most saffron comes from, and they look delicious from a view. I looked saffron up on different e-commerce websites such as Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, Sams Club, and whatnot, then I found some at Amazon that convinced me to purchase one of them from there. The one that I brought is called Zaran Saffron; what got my attention was that it said they are handpicked and have the highest quality grade, which they call super begin. Many different makers make and sell saffron. I went with Zaran one because of many reviews and several articles that provide a top list of the best maker of Saffron – Zaran was often found to be in the top three of several top ten lists. When it was shipped to me, I was excited because it was something new to try, as I am always curious about something new to try…
