Gardenia Wheat Bread
Another wheat bread I was able to try again lately is this Gardenia Wheat Bread. It comes in a transparent plastic packaging with green label and cost P51 pesos. It’s just a half loaf of about 10 slices, I think. Each slice is not really that …
Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Donna Vollmilch
I don’t like to get biscuits as little present as people usually buy biscuit assortments just to appear someone big. I really hate biscuit assortments because they contain few biscuits and all of them separated one from other. There is more plastic and paper than biscuits. I prefer simple …
Skippy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
I have recently become addicted to Skippy Reduced Fat Creamy peanut butter, which has 25% less fat than regular peanut butter. In fact, I have come to prefer the taste of the reduced fat spread over the tradition full-fat variety. As a health concious individual, I was …
Starbuck’s Reduced Fat Egg White and Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Now as an admitted Starbuck’s fan for 10+ years and also a near-constant dieter, I’m always on the lookout for new low-fat food offerings carried at any Starbucks. Most recently, I tried Starbuck’s Reduced Fat Egg White and Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich. This breakfast option is basically …

Trattoria Verdi Fusilli Pasta
I must eat pasta dishes at least three times a week, I do not know what I would do without the stuff. I often buy a big bag of Trattoria Verdi Fusilli pasta from Tesco (the little twists) as they are so economical, costing only 99 pence for …
Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries
I just did another review for Pizza Hut WingStreet Wings, a product I’d just purchased for the first time. I really don’t know why I decided to buy the chicken, but I suspect a part of it was seeing these Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries advertised on their …
Mountain DEW
Do you have a thirst that you just can’t quite seem to quench? Are you a soda drinker? If you answered YES to both questions then I have a beverage for you to try…
Mountain DEW is a soda like no other. It is bright green in color, unmistakably. …
Blue Bunny Raspberry Vanilla Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars
Blue Bunny Raspberry Vanilla Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars did not taste quite as good as I had hoped that they would. Unlike the strawberry variety, which offers a relatively decent strawberry flavor, this raspberry flavor really lacks a good strawberry flavor that I could appreciate and enjoy. Although …
Jell-o Gelatin - Mixed Fruit
Jell-o Gelatin - Mixed Fruit variety offers a delightful combination of a couple different fruits that really unleashes a whole lot of flavor with each spoonful! There is lemon flavor, cherry flavor and strawberry flavor all merged together and placed within the wobbly and delicious gelatin! I personally find …
Del monte tomato sauce
I loved cooking and one of the best ingredients I put in my recipe is Del monte tomato sauce. Del monte tomato sauce is made from 100% fresh tomatoes, which contains lycopene that reduces the risk of heart disease and some cancer.
It is more healthy that other spices, I …
Diet Dr. B
Visit just about any grocery store, and you are bound to find their own store brand generic rip-offs of main stream products, especially when it comes to sodas. Diet Dr. B is another: it is H-E-B’s store brand of the popular soda, Diet Dr. Pepper.
It is rare that …
Hershey’s Shell Topping
I love Hershey’s Shell Topping. I first came across this product when looking for a chocolate ice cream topping at the grocery store. I love making chocolate covered strawberries, so when I saw the Hershey’s Shell Topping, I thought I might try it with my strawberries. The …

Kallo Whole Earth Organic Classic Cornflakes breakfast cereal
These corn flakes are a bit of an unusual choice if you, like me, are generally the sort of person who sticks to either the supermarkets’ own brands or the traditional fall back of Kellogg’s. They are also fairly expensive, with my local Sainsbury’s supermarket selling only a smallish …
Brakebush Popcorn Chicken
My daughter loves popcorn chicken. But, it’s expensive to keep buying it from the deli so we looked for some we could make ourselves. The brand we settled on was Brakebush. And, while the Brakebush frozen popcorn chicken isn’t bad, it unfortunately didn’t work for our family.
The thing I …

Tesco 6 large white pittas
Tesco 6 large white pitta bread is also one of my favorite all time afternoon snack or sometimes I usually have it as my breakfast. I particularly had it with a humus dip or any kinds of dip but personally I find humus as the perfect pair for …
Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This ice cream by Ben and Jerry’s sounded delectable. Normally I find regular cheesecake very rich, and I figured it would be even more so as an ice cream. Still, I wanted to try it. I love the way Ben and Jerry’s makes their ice cream, and I really …
Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked Ice-Cream
During the warm months of summer, I have a great excuse to buy my favourite store-bought ice-cream. Although I keep trying new flavours, Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked remains my very favourite. I do detest paying the $7 or so for a tiny container, but there are times that …
Twix Chocolate Bar
Twix was first introduced into the UK in 1967 which means it has been around all my life and it has always been one of my favorite chocolate bars. Twix consists of two separate slim fingers of crunchy biscuit, topped with soft caramel and covered in milk chocolate. …
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 …
Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Herbal Tea
When it is the dead of winter and berry season is a long ways away I turn to my Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger Herbal Tea. I love this tea because it is gluten free, which is important to me because I have gluten allergies. Other reason I love this …
Crystal Light Lemonade
Crystal Light Lemonade comes in a powder form. You buy it and mix it with water. I usually take two canisters at a time. Mixing them with water, they fit perfectly in a gallon jug.
Crystal Light Lemonade is just the right combination of sweet and tart. I don’t like …
Twinning’s Green Tea Mint Flavor
We need to be proactive in taking care of our body. I don’t just rely on exercise and eating healthy but rather I also take supplements, vitamins, juices and I drink tea. Green tea is believed to have high content of antioxidants. This is the main reason why I …
Michelinas Lean Gourmet Sweet and Spicy Asian style Chicken
There are times were I can appreciate store bought frozen meals. Not all of them are horrid, and can be quite tasty. I usually take advantage and buy a fair share whenever my neighborhood grocery store is having a sale on a few of my favorite brands.
Michelinas is …
Sleepytime Tea
Sleepytime tea is the perfect tea for those who want a mild and delicious drink at the end of the day. I sometimes think it’s hard to find a good tasting tea that doesn’t overpower you and that doesn’t have loads of caffeine. Sleepytime tea is caffeine free and …
Lifeway Kefir
Do you love yogurt? If so this is the health drink for you!
Kefir is a probiotic rich and delicious yogurt based drink. Lifeway makes my favorite and I always have a bottle in the fridge. Here’s …
Piesnow FRAN pocky
This type of pocky is one of those icing-type pocky where there’s a thick layer of icing around the biscuit stick. Even though it is piesnow flavor, i personally don’t think it tastes like piesnow at all, but like any other conventional icing-type pocky. You’re not getting what you’re …
Hill Country Fare Kettle Corn Popcorn
I am a fan of popcorn, I am a fan of kettle corn. Kettle corn is great because it provides the best of both worlds: sweetness and saltiness, all in a single kernel of popcorn. It is a great tasting snack, and one which I really enjoy.
Hill …
Lulu B Cocktails Chocolate Martini
Several weeks ago, I found a new company offering ready to pour cocktails with reduced sugar, carbs and calories called Lulu B Cocktails. They were displayed right next to my usual Skinnygirl Cocktails brand but the Lulu B Cocktails actually had signs from the liquor store owners promising that …
Russell Stover Mint Dream
This week I decided to treat myself to a Russell Stover Mint Dream, a thick, rich mint I’ve had from time to time over the years. Russell Stover is a premium maker of chocolate candies. They do a great job. While I don’t like everything, there …
Danon Activia Low-Fat Yogurt
Ever had that bloated, get-out-of-my-face, I have PMS and a handgun feeling?

Patio TV Dinners
I’ve had Patio frozen burritos before, and they weren’t bad, so I thought that the Patio TV dinners might be a good buy. They’re pretty cheap, considering that they only cost a buck a pop, so I figured, what have I got to lose?
Well, it turns out that …
Jewel Brand Ginger Ale
Sometimes generic or store-brand products are just as good, if not better, than the big name brands. This is the case with Jewel brand Ginger Ale, which is sold at all Jewel-Osco grocery stores in both two-liter bottles and 12-packs. Just yesterday, I compared the price os …
Kraft Easy Mac
I am all about Kraft’s new Easy Mac. It, quite simply, is small bags of noodles and when added to water and microwaved, they boil. Once that task is accomplished, you simply add the enclosed container of powder, and …….wala! You have yourself a perfect single …
Tofuking Northern Tofu
Since I decided to convert to be a vegetarian having a tofu in almost all of my dishes at home makes my cooking even more appealing most especially that I particularly make lots of dishes that need tofu on it as a good substitute for a red meat or …
Yoplait Whips Key Lime Pie
I have never been a huge fan of yogurt. I find it to have a bad after taste and something about thinking about eating live cultures grosses me out. I have tried time and time again to eat it because it is so good for you. …
Kellogg’s Cereal in a Cup - Wellness Assortment
I like the idea of a wellness assortment, but I wish that Kellogg’s would provide even amounts of each cereal. For example, there are twenty-two cups of regular Special K but just four cups of Kashi. The reason for such a huge difference in number is simple: they package …
IKEA Curry Puff
I happened to buy the curry Puff in IKEA Malaysia. This is the curry puff that I like most and there is no other places curry puff can beat it. The size is a bit bigger than the regular one, it has chicken meat, potato, onion, curry …
Pataks Curry Sauces
I do enjoy a curry, I like to cook them and I like to go out and have one as well but if I did that all the time then I would be out of pocket and probably very overweight. I suppose this is why it’s so great that …
Gatorate Thirst Quencher in Twist Top Bottle
I prefer to purchase Gatorade Thirst Quencher specifically in the 24 ounce twist top bottles. The regular bottles with the removable caps are more difficult for my small children to manage. In addition they are not so easily re-usable and tend to make a lot of mess. …
Dilmah - The Single Origin 100% Pure Ceylon Tea
I am a tea lover. Well, you can even call me a tea addict. I love my cup of tea. There is in fact not a time when I would have refused a offer for tea and my day does not feel right if I didn’t start …
Keebler Ready Crust
I am very satisfied with the Keebler Ready Crust when I make a homemade pie! This is a graham crust and I feel it definitely enhances the quality of pies that I make. There are a number of reasons that I am happy with this crust, but one of …
Lipton Milk Tea
I love drinking tea, especially matcha (Japanese Green tea) and milk teas. I know that this product is quite known or old, but I just discovered this heartwarming drink from Lipton. You really must try this product it is perfect hot or cold.
My colleague gave me a sachet …
Tootsie Roll Pops
With all that candy out there, you’d think it would be easy to latch onto one favorite forever and ever. But no, there are so many choices a hungry person lusting after some sugar finds themself bewildered. But the choice is simple: Go buy a chocolate Tootsie …
Baskin Robbins ice cream cakes
Ice cream cakes were all the rage when they first came out about ten years ago. I’m just surprised it took them so long to come out with an ice cream cake. If you’ve never had ice cream cake or never even heard of it then you’ve either been …
Kahlner’s Louisiana Hot Sauce
I am a bargain hunter, especially when it comes to food. This is probably true due to the incredible amount of groceries that I buy each month. So, when I find a deal as sweet as this, I have to share it! Besides being a bargain hunter, I am …
Life Savers Pep-O-Mint Mints
I grew up on Life Savers, and I had two favorites — butterscotch and peppermint. I loved both flavors tremendously. As years passed, the Life Savers company began to expand their offerings, and now they have a package of just my favorite peppermints which they call Life …
