The book Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide is fantastic! I recently bought it, and even though I had previously studied a lot about nutrition, it was a real eye-opener. (follow the above link for more info and for pricing.)
It's difficult to decipher what's healthy and what's not when looking at today's food labels. This book makes it simple to make the right food choices. A lot

We have never eaten at this particular Applebee’s but we have been to a couple of other locations. The thing I didn’t like about this location was that even though they have “non smoking” tables, the smoke from the bar is noticable throughout the whole restaurant. We were at a table by the window and it seemed as though someone was smoking right next to us. It would only last for a minute or two

If anyone has a plan to purchase a Weber Baby-Q Grill, head over to Stop & Shop grocery stores. After 25% off, the final price is $120 (plus tax). I have been checking the price on this grill every so often, and have not seen it at any other store for a lower price. The sale ends on the 4th(Saturday.)
After we use the Baby Q for a little while, I will post an official review, but I am confident

Bob (New England Camper) graciously allowed us to post his review of the restaurant Banner’s in North Conway. And here it is!
Banner’s is located in Conway, NH on Rt 16 just south of the bustling N. Conway, NH and White Mountains area. This a a small to medium size local restaurant serving breakfast and lunch during the off-season. I believe they serve dinner during busier times of the year. Our

While camping, bring along your pizza stone (if you have room) and make a home-made pizza on your grille.
We recently purchase a “Walk-A-Bout” charcoal grill by Aussie Grills - It folds up flat (with wheels) for easy traveling. Our first try at grilled pizza turned out horribly. Yuck. The top was pretty good, but the bottom was burned. We learned quickly that using “indirect” heat works much

So, where are the best burger joints?
Fuddruckers
We became addicted to Fuddruckers when they recently opened their new restaurant in the Jordan's Furniture store in Reading, MA.
They offer excellent burgers....from a generous 1/3 lb to a mammoth 1 lb, there is a burger sized for everyone. And not just burgers, I happen to love their turkey and veggie burgers as well. If you still want

Besta One Pizzaria
35 Main Street
Lincoln, NH
603-745-6536
We stopped at the Besta One Pizzaria restaurant for a quick dinner, on our way up to Fransted Campground on (June 14) Tuesday night.
Wow, what a detailed menu! Everything from pizza and subs to pasta and seafood. We both opted for the $9.99 lobster roll. It came with a choice of side - fries, onion rings, cole slaw. I wasn’t in the mood

I had previously raved about Green Mountain Gringo Salsa, the salsa company from Vermont. But I was a bit disappointed in the last three or so purchases, the mild recipe seemed spicier (hotter) than it was in the past.
So, I was on the look for a new salsa to love. I found it in Better Than Fred’s Salsa.
Fantastic taste! This salsa has CHUNKS! Just like you would make it yourself. And the mild

Blue Moon (Convenience Store and Pizza Sub Shop)
612 Ossipee Lake Road, Freedom, NH
603-539-1001
The Blue Moon is located down the road from Danforth Bay Campground in Freedom, NH. We heard from our inlaws that they enjoyed their pizza when staying at Danforth Bay in July, so we figured we would give them a shot on Sunday
At 6pm, Sunday night (Labor Day weekend), we phoned them from our

This season, we joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) so we’re getting a wonderful package of fresh vegetables every week! It’s exciting to be buying local!
Whenever we’re away, I’m never very happy with the produce at the grocery stores, so I really want to find a good outlet for fresh veggies while on vacation! So, this year we are planning on making a visit to the local Farmer’s

While camping in Boothbay, Maine, we spent a day driving up the coast. Our dog was traveling with us, so we needed to find a “take-out” restaurant for dinner. We stopped at Captain’s Fresh Idea on Rt 1 in Waldoboro, Maine.
I ordered the clam chowder for $6 - good sized portion (12 oz) not bursting with clams, but still tasty.
Mike ordered the clam strip basket for $9 - good price for a good

This isn’t really a ‘restaurant’ per se, but we stop here for lunch frequently on our way home from the Lakes Region in New Hampshire.
The Citgo Gas station at the intersection of Rt 28 and Rt 11 in Alton - the official name is the Alton Circle Grocery. It is a favorite of a lot of truck drivers, so you know that it is a good place to stop for a quick bite.
Besides being a full convenience

On our discussion forum, a restaurant review was recently posted for Crumpets Tea Room. They are located at 56 Water Street in North Andover, MA.
campnmomof4 was gracious enough to allow me to post her review on our site:
This is a small and elegant restaurant and everyone was very nice. We parked on the side of the road, there were signs that said 2 hour parking. Where we were seated, was a
