Tesco Crunch Duo Mix Muesli Yoghurt
This ‘Crunch Duo Mix Muesli’ yoghurt from Tesco was only cheap at about 35 pence but it is really gorgeous. I have eaten this as a snack and I have taken them to work to have as a breakfast as they are ideal. As you peel back …
Dannon light and fit apple pie yogurt
Dannon Light and Fit Apple Pie Yogurt is yogurt that is supposed to taste like apple pie. In my opinion, Dannon Light and Fit Apple Pie Yogurt is really disgusting and tastes nothing like apple pie.There are apple chunks and cinnamon in it, but it tastes spicy and kind …
Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar-Free Cookies
Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …
Taco Bell Soft Tacos
Sometimes when a person has sensitive teeth or even caps, a crunchy taco isn’t a smart food choice. It was during such a time that I expanded my horizons and first tried Taco Bell Soft Tacos. Since that first experience many years ago, I’ve often purchased this …
Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats Strawberry Delight
I did not like this cereal at all because it is just way too sweet and the strawberry flavor is so incredibly artificial that it is terrible! The strawberry flavor is really nothing at all like the taste that a real strawberry has. I was very disappointed by this …
Hamburger Helper in Stroganoff
I have bought many Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper products over the years, but the worse one I ever encountered was the Stroganoff. In a hurry to make a quick dinner a few nights ago, I picked up this Stroganoff mixture at my local supermarket for just $1.99CDN.
The mixture on …
Pillsbury Hotcake Creamy Vanilla Hotcake Mix
My family is one of those who like variety in their menu, most especially breakfast. We all believe in the adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. One of those that sometimes come into our breakfast table is hotcakes. Since I have been eating pancakes …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri is part of a failed line - in my opinion - of gelatin desserts that try to take a popular adult beverage and transform that beverage into a gelatin treat that retains the flavor of the drink while making it acceptable for all ages. …

Kashi is one of those brands, that’s catches your eye when you’re on a health kick or are looking for a better alternative to your usual sugary selections. Let me tell you, I was opened to a new kind of goodness, called Kashi Go Lean Crunch: Honey Almond Flax. …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream French Vanilla
Unfortunately, Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream French Vanilla is not quite as good as the premium French vanilla ice cream, also made by Blue Bunny. I suppose I really should not be surprised because this ice cream cost less than the premium ice cream. The difference between this original …

Red Horse Beer
Here I go again, back to my worst vice drinking too much alcohol. I am not the type of girl who party a lot but during different occasions, I can be spotted drinking beers with the guys. I also drink other hard drinks and ladies drink, but …
Jamie Oliver Green Pesto
I tried out Jamie Oliver’s green pesto and found it to be a very good quality pesto with a rather light flavour. This is the usual blend of basil, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts etc, with the added flavour of Grana Padana cheese. To compare it …
Jack n Jill Potato Chips
It must have been months since I have eaten a junk food. I know pizzas, and stuffs related to it are sort of a junk food themselves, no but I meant to say chips right out of a foil pack - that is what I meant with junk foods. …
Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum
I have tried various types and flavors of chewing gum. One of such gum is Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum. While at first site the package would imply that the gum is for blowing bubbles, however, it is really just the flavor of classic bubble gum. In …
Innes & Gunn Beer
Once in a while, something different comes on the market and makes a bit of a splash. I suppose you could think of Google in the respect. It outshone the competition in a big way and none have ever quite come up to scratch ever since. Perhaps Champagne is …
Mission’s Yellow Cornflower Tortillas
Every week while I’m grocery shopping I try and search for products that are healthy, but that won’t taste like cardboard or leave me hungry after the meal. I scan the grocery shelves for the perfect product that I can be satisfied with and bring home as part of …

Harrris Teeter Spaghetti Rings
I orginally purchased these spagethhi rings rather than the traditional name brand because of the price. Youc an get a can 5/$3.00. At a price like that, everyone can fford to eat this food.
The cna has a pop top so you dont need a can opener. I like to …
Sainsburys Chilli Flavoured Potato Snack
When on the hunt in Sainsburys, one of my favorite snacks is their chilli flavoured potato snack. It’s a large packet of crisps and you will often find them near the curry and Mexican mixes so don’t be fooled into thinking that just because they are crisps they will …
Bermudez Domino Cookies (Vanilla Cream)
I love to try different types of cookies and there is a company here in my country named Bermudez which specializes in all sorts of cookies and biscuits. One of their recent cookies (maybe only came out a few years back) is named Domino and there are a couple …
Kellogg’s Fruity Snacks Variety
This is a fairly decent variety pack that offers the following fruit packs: cherry, strawberry and mixed berry. I wish that these packs were one-hundred percent naturally flavored, but unfortunately there is some artificial flavoring as well. That means that the fruit that comes out of these packs is …
Genisoy Soy Protein Bars
I started eating Genisoy Soy Protein bars because a diet I went on required me to eat a soy protein bar with some fruit for lunch. I live in a rural town, so it was hard for me to find any soy protein bars. I have found that a …

Nescafe which is a subsidy of Nestle has recently came up with several varieties from using brown sugar, sweet and mild, to the strong and rich variety. The latter is one of the variations that I really need. With my busy schedule and oftentimes extended hours at night, I needed …
Tesco Garlic Salt
This product from the seasoning and spices range at Tesco is a welcome addition to any spice rack. It’s a garlic powder/salt type of thing, so doesn’t have the potency of a fresh alternative or the flavour of a paste, but for the money, it’s a good alternative that’ll …
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 …

Muller Light Smooth Raspberry and Cranberry Yoghurt
I was going to write a great review for this Muller Light yoghurt until I realized it is not actually suitable for vegetarians so that will teach me not to check the ingredients. Muller Light generally contains gelatine and this raspberry and cranberry one I am reviewing contains …
Great Value Baked Vegetable Crisp Snacks
These baked crisp snacks are no more impressive than the vegetable crackers also sold under the Walmart Great Value brand. Just like with the vegetable crackers, these vegetable crisps are mainly rich in pepper flavor. Now I love the smell and taste of peppers, so this pleases me. The …

Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal
One of my favorite cereals growing up was Captain Crunch. Somehow the sweet, yellow pillows of corn goodness satisfied my cravings for sugar, even though it was abrasive to the roof of my mouth. I could not stop stuffing my mouth with this cereal. However, the …
Great Value Sugar Cookies
The Great Value Sugar Cookies come twenty-four to a pack and sell for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. Once I opened the package, I had to put the sugar cookies in a ziplock bag because they aren’t individually wrapped or in a bag that can be resealed. I found …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Chicken Pesto Classico
The main complaint I had with the last Café Steamers entrée I tried was the angel hair pasta. I prefer heartier pasta shapes, like rotini or farfelle. I wanted to try Chicken Pesto Classico because the pasta was rotini and I love pesto. Also, from the …

San Mig Light Beer
San Mig Light Beer is what I usually see people drink everywhere, especially in bars. Various people in different ages likes it. I think it’s called San Mig Light because it has a low calorie content compared to the regular San Miguel Beer. I tried it in the past …
Fleischmanns Rapid Rise Instant Yeast
I never used Fleischmann’s rapid rise instant yeast until I purchased a bread kit that contained it, and even then I was nervous to handle the yeast. In the kitchen, yeast is my kryptonite because I never actually learned how to properly use it. I know you are to use …
Big Butt Doppelbock by Leinenkugel
Yes, it is true I like Big Butt’s. Well, at least I like Leinenkugel’s Big Butt. This is a great example of a doppelbock style beer made by the Wisconsin microbrewery. As we move from the heavy winter beers towards the lighter beers of spring, doppelbock style beers will …

Breyers Chocolate Chip
Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …
Lehmann Absinthe
Absinthe is an alcoholic drink made from a mix of mainly wormwood, fennel and anise, amongst other plants. There are many different brands of this drink, but I’m going to talk about the one from Lehmann.
The first thing that called my attention about absinthe is its particular green colour. …
Marlboro Virginia Blend Cigarettes
Tough economic times call for drastic measures when buying cigarettes. My usual brand are the rich and smooth Parliment Lights 100’s, but they are up to $45 a carton in the Los Angeles area. I was looking for some filler brands to stretch my cigarette budget, and stumbled upon …
Red Bull
I often have to drive long distances. Sometimes, I do it in company. If I’m with the family, there’s always someone to keep me chatting. I can listen to music to stay alert. It’s when it gets dark and people doze off that danger can occur. The same thing …
Stouffer’s Veal Parmigiana
Stouffer’s Veal Parmigiana is a pretty enjoyable meal that I like to have. The veal taste pretty good and it is a decent size for the money that I paid for this meal. The mozzarella and parmesan cheese both had a pretty good flavor to them and really enhanced …
