Breyers Cookies & Cream Oreo
I was disappointed with Breyers Cookies & Cream Oreo ice cream. What dragged this ice cream down in my eyes was the lack of Oreo cookie pieces. I didn’t think the ice cream contained enough pieces of Oreo cookie to justify the price tag of nearly three dollars and …
Pam Panorama Mushroom cream
I really like mushroom soup although I don’t like mushrooms. I used to buy one mushroom soup which I really adored but I can’t find it any more so I am buying different mushroom soups now to see which one I like the best. The other day I went …
Annie Chun’s Udon Soup Bowl
I decided to try this “All Natural Asian Cuisine” Soup only partially because of the meal it provides. It came in its own microwave bowl, and I thought it might be reusable enough to microwave my customary bowl of morning oatmeal. When I spotted it in the grocery section …
Gerber Graduates Finger Foods - Puffs
I started my son on puffs when he was able to understand gumming and mashing food. I first started with the other brands that weren’t sweetened because they contained less sugar and I figured that these would make him hyper. My mother in law got him a …
Michelina’s Five Cheese Lasagna
I had Michelin’s Lean Gourmet five cheese lasagna the other night for the first time. This lasagna is a frozen dinner meal. It’s just the right size for me. My husband on the other hand would say there wasn’t enough food. If you don’t usually eat a large meal …
Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence Instant Coffee
Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence is an excellent instant coffee with a lovely flavour. I like a coffee with a lot of strength to it but without harshness or bitterness and this coffee fits the bill. It is good and strong so I, as a total caffeine addict, …
Mildura Instant Ginger Drink with Honey
I hate ginger. It’s hot, it’s spicy, and I think it has a horrible taste. Despite how everyone around me tells me how nutritional ginger is, I still can’t bring myself to eat it. I will scoop out all ginger in my dish. I do my best …
Mars Ice Cream
I know we are approaching winter but I am reviewing the Mars Ice Cream anyway because I buy this in for my freezer all year round, they are so delicious. They are basically small choc ices —“ shorter and fatter than Mars bars —“ with the same milk …
Kroger Baked Cheese Curls
I remember as a kid loving a cheese snack called ‘cornies’. The Kroger brand of Baked Cheese Curls is a product that is as good or better than the snack I remember for my childhood. The product comes in a 7 ounce bag, and the store often has the …
Chung’s Shrimp Egg Rolls
Anytime I order Asian food, an egg roll is a must and not because they’re one dollar. There is something about the beef or pork mixed in with various vegetables. When I saw the Chung’s shrimp egg rolls in the grocery store, the thought of being able to eat …
Hershey’s Holiday Assortment
Every year I like to buy Hershey’s Holiday Assortment candies. This year, the big package was 55 ounces. Sometimes it’s a little more than that and sometimes less. Also what the assortment contains can vary.
One of the reasons I like the assortment is that it’s always …
Palermo’s Thin Crust Supreme Frozen Pizza
This is one of the most delicious frozen pizzas available. I have tried several brands of frozen pizza and found most to taste like cardboard; flat and flavorless. Palermo’s, however, has lots of tangy flavor without being spicy. Their flavor comes from the generous amount of toppings, not spice. …
Simply Orange Orange Juice
While everyone knows of Tropicana Orange Juice, there is a new one out that exceeds Tropicana in taste and price and pulp. Simply Orange orange juice has such a better taste than tropicana you would think that you just finished squeezing the oranges yourself. Its 100% natural …

Blue Bunny Arctic Blue Bomb Pop Gel Blasts
Blue Bunny Arctic Blue Bomb Pop Gel Blasts are certainly eye catching! The arctic blue colors are really attractive, perhaps to me in particular because blue is my favorite color. The raspberry flavor that is a part of these gel blasts is good, although nothing fantastic. The flavor certainly …

We received a lovely Christmas present of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares. Ghirardelli, based in California, makes some of the best chocolate in the world.

Chef Boyardee Macaroni and Cheese
I recently decided to try Chef Boyardee’s new Macaroni and Cheese. From the packaging, which is a 7.5 ounce bowl that you can put in the microwave, it looked like an exciting and tasty mini-meal. And of course, the word “New!” probably also attracted me to it. …
Ainsley Harriott Fruit & Nut Cereal Bars
These are the most gorgeous cereal bars —“ possibly the best I have ever had. I think it is the addition of Belgian chocolate that helps a great deal as the milk chocolate coats one side of the bar is quite a generous layer. These are from …

Milo Powdered Malted Chocolate Drink by Nestle

Conti’s Pastries
I never thought I would love to eat a lemon bar; I always see this in bakeshops and the looks of it does not entice me or get me even a little interested. I always go for the more famous crepes or brownies or even Sylvannas but not lemon …

Great Value Pizzas
We decided to watch a movie last night and, because of that, kept dinner simple; frozen pizza. Rather than our normal brand, we ended up eating one of the Great Value Pizzas my wife picked up at Walmart on Saturday.
They weren’t bad but they weren’t great either.
My biggest complaint about …

Hostess Limited Edition Donettes Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts
Hostess has really gone all out this autumn in producing pumpkin-flavored snacks and I can’t recall the company ever giving so many of its year-round snack cakes and treats a limited time pumpkin make-over. I’m not complaining though; the more foods pumped with pumpkin spice goodness, the better, for …
McDonalds McSkillet Burrito
I’m not a person who tries new things on a regular basis; at least when it comes to fast food. For the past decade, whenever I�ve ordered breakfast at McDonalds, I have chosen their breakfast burritos. And, I have not swayed from that once; at least until yesterday morning.
The …

For those who want to buy this product, let me be the first to tell you that it’s full of chemicals. There’s Sucralose aka Splenda and Aspartame. If you don’t know what Aspartame, it’s the most dangerous additive in our foods. It can cause a lot of illnesses, from …
Sainsbury’s Basics Chocolate Dessert Mix
This chocolate dessert from Sainsbury’s ‘Basics’ range is supposed to be like a cheap version of Angel Delight and it is only 9 pence per sachet. I frequently buy a cheap version of Angel Delight from Tesco’s ‘Value’ range but as they do not do a chocolate flavour …
Classic Coca-Cola
Classic Coca-Cola is a delicious and flavorful soft drink that is, at least in my case, addicting. Just having a can of this soda elevates my spirit and enhances my level of concentration - probably a result of the caffeine in the soda. Speaking of caffeine, that is just …
Milo Energy Drink
I really love chocolate flavored drinks. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold, as long as it’s chocolate I’ll surely like it. Among the many chocolate powdered drinks, it’s Milo energy drink that I like. It’s inexpensive and it tastes great even if it’s ice cold or hot. …

Overall, I …
