I finally gave into the hype of Mountain Dew Kickstart beverage. At night while watching TV, I would often times see the goofy commercial about Mountain Dew Kickstart and then see the stands in grocery store with all the different flavors. The temptation proved to be too strong one …

Beef stew is one of my favorite stews to make because you can never have enough and it always fills me up. Sometimes, I have my lazy days and I’ll skip over making it from scratch and settle for a good can soup version.
I found Dinty Moore hearty meals …

This week I bought my first package of Keebler Fudge Shoppe Fudge Sticks in quite some time. I have had them before, but it’s been awhile since I purchased them. I was in the mood for something different, though, and these were on sale, so it was …

I love munching on snacks while watching movies in the cinema. One of my favorite snack places is NYFD Fries and Dips. You can usually find one near most of the cinemas in the metro. Although I know that almost everything they serve can be classified …

After parle’s coffee bite melody chocolate is the one that I like in taste. It has a nice chocolaty taste, its not too sweet, and not too chocolaty either, the taste is just fine for my likes. Plus it is soft, and its not hard and crunchy. I don’t …

I like Noodles and I don’t mind even just eating a bowl of Noodles. I’m not the most fanciest eater anyway but am happy with Noodles, Pasta or Rice dishes. The other good thing is that they are quite cheap as well, so can be a filling snack for …

Little Debbie Mini Donuts Powdered are probably my favorite of the three Little Debbie mini-donut product line. The powdered sugar on these donuts can most definitely be messy, but the powdered sugar does give the donuts quite a lot of
flavor! One bite into one of these mini-donuts will result …

I got hungry while shopping and there was nothing I can think of munching so I grabbed a bag of Hippo Italian Pizza snack that we bought during that day and it was my first time to taste it. I have purchased the same looking snack from the past …

Now showing: The Case of the Missing Almonds *cue creepy mystery music*…..Lean Cuisine’s website describes Chicken with Almonds meal as: “Chicken tenderloins in a rich soy sauce,topped with sliced almonds and served with a medley of white rice,green beans, yellow carrots and broccoli florets.” It’s part of the Cafe …

According to the directions you can place this in the oven or microwave it for ten minutes, stir it and put it in for another four to six and finally let it sit for three minutes. Having three of us to feed and a limited amount of time we …

My fiance and I enrolled for this growing season in the Cooley Family Farm’s Harvest Basket program. This program costs $18 a week for the 13 week season, paid upfront at the beginning of the season, and entitles you to a basket full of seasonal vegetables every week.
The …

Great Value Chocolate Milk Mix has left me a bit disappointed. I used to make chocolate milk with chocolate syrup before, and have recently decided to try the powdered mix. Like all Great Value products, this mix is reasonably priced: $ 1.97 for a 1 lb can. You can …

Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Sandwiches are pretty tasty! What makes them even more appetizing is the price: just two dollars for twelve ice cream sandwiches! That value is downright chillingly good! The quality of the ice cream sandwiches is surprisingly high considering how cheap they sell for. The chocolate …

Frankly, I don’t really see why brands name beef loafs and meat loafs as two different entities. They’re actually one and the same to me. They taste similar– I can’t seem to see the difference at all. …

I was in Wal-Mart not too long ago when I saw that Philadelphia, one of the most iconic food companies around, has recently teamed up with Cadbury and launched a chocolate version of their iconic cream cheese. As a huge chocolate fan I was immediately excited. It …

A while back, Jack in the Box had a free French fries Friday to promote the fact that they are no longer using trans fat in their cooking. This is definitely the trend in fast food chains and restaurants. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but free …

I have a love/hate relationship with onions. I love them. My eyes hate them. It’s the type of relationship most people have with onions. Every time I cut into one I find myself having to leave the room because they are so strong. It takes my eyes at least …

Do you like trying new foods? Do you have a family that loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Are you into healthy items and do you want your children to have the best? If you can answer all these questions with a yes, then you have to try Honey …

On a spring trip to Sichuan, China, me and my family had the opportunity to try one of the famous local dishes: Dan Dan Mian or spicy noodles. We sat down at the table in the restaurant, and a big bowl of red noodles was put on the …

My New Year’s goal - like millions of other people - is to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. Of course that’s my goal every year. I’m trying to do things a little different this time by searching for foods I honestly like and …

One of the things that I noticed is that these beans have lard in them, which does alter the taste a little bit from beans made with vegetable oil (the kind I usually get). These seemed a little more authentic in the taste, like something you might get …

I have never really been a big fan of chocolate shakes, until I tried the Special K Chocolate Protein Shake that is used as a meal replacement for either lunch or dinner. Not only does this shake give the delicious flavor of chocolate, but it offers many nutritional values …

Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches are not quite as good as the Double Strawberry Aspenâ„¢ Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars. What makes me prefer the latter to the former? For one, these sandwiches do not have any vanilla where as the bars have a vanilla coating. …

I am a bacon lover. But as I get older, I am constantly looking for ways to enjoy meals with less fat and calories. Butterball Turkey bacon has been a staple in my house for the past three years. It has the same smoky-hickory flavor as …

Great Value Crescent Rolls are one of my favorite snacks to go with a cup of coffee or tea. The rolls are incredibly soft and tasty, and they are very easy to make. The rolls come in a can that has ready-to-bake dough for 8 rolls. The directions on …

When I saw the Pasta Express on television, I had to get one. My wife and I are constantly eating pasta and, even if all it did was free up a burner on our stove, it was worth the investment.
After using it for the first time, I have a …

Here in my country there is a brand of ice cream by the name of Flavarite and I have grown up eating this brand of ice cream. Over the years I have started to see new flavours being released by them and one of the flavours I recently had …

Skittles is the bite sized candies that a majority of us love to eat, share and even play with. I have personally loved these candies for as long as I can remember. There are so many different flavors of skittles that it’s sometimes hard to choose. I’ve had …

When it comes to ice cream I’m up for trying new flavors, but the Blue Bell key lime half gallon would definitely prove to be a bit much for me.
Publix was having one of their sales, and I knew the prices on Blue Bell ice cream would have a …

There are some things that are simply icons. I guess that Jack Daniels falls into that category. It has a —˜Good Ol’ Boy’ stamp that gives it a certain street credibility. It isn’t something that makes people think you’re trying to gain some superiority over them by drinking it. …

Blue Bunny Champ! Vanilla Ice Cream Cones is not something that I was very impressed with. The reason I was not very impressed with this cone is, in part, because the vanilla flavor was not quite as rich or delicious as I was hoping it would be. The vanilla …

I tried the Dr Oetker Onken Biopot Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt, although I only picked up the fat free one by mistake to be honest! I have not tried this brand of yogurt before so I do not know what the full fat one is like, but …

I didn’t know “diet” food could taste so good! Lean Cuisine’s Chicken Ranch Club flat bread melts are really delicious! Their website describes it as “White meat chicken, tomato, bacon, cheddar and mozzarella cheese with a ranch sauce in a soft flatbread.” It’s part of their Casual Eating Classics …

My aunt is constantly sending care packages filled with goodies. This last package contained a new flavor of Pop Tart I had never heard of before, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I immediately thought of the cookie dough flavored ice cream and was greatly intrigued by this new pastry. No …

Dairy Queen’s Peanut Buster Parfait is, overall, a nice treat for a hot day. Every now and then I’m ready for a change of pace, and that’s normally when I’ll order this dessert. I don’t like to have it too often, but for the occasional spice to …

Cracker Barrel offers this delicious entrée only during the summer months. From the picture posted on their website, it looks like a cornucopia of meat and vegetables: you see big chunks of beef chuck roast with whole red potatoes, large pieces of carrots, onions, and two serving sizes …

Eggo: Chocolate Chip Pancakes turned out to be rather bland and tasteless according to my taste buds. Although the picture on the box makes it appear that there are chocolate chips aplenty in the pancakes, upon examination of the actual pancakes, one can relatively easily see that there are …

Yet another primo find at my local Grocery Outlet, Grizz Red is a Washington State wine delivered in a screwtop — since that’s the next big wave of wine is the screwtop. I found it for $2.99 and thought, well I can cook with it if it’s horrible. …

Beechworth Pure Yummy Honey is a brand of honey that can be bought in any food stores, or even some convenient stores. It is an Australian honey that is also 100% pure. It comes in a 500g sized plastic container with a yellow lid.
First of all, I really like …

I personally do not care for this particular protein bar even though I enjoy chocolate chip cookies. For one thing, these do not taste quite like chocolate chip cookies in my opinion because they are harder and chewier than chocolate chips cookies and the dough flavor is not quite …

I usually don’t get appetizers at a restaurant because most of them are nothing special. It’s mostly stuff that they take out of the freezer and toss into the deep fryer. But when I read the description for Chicken Quesadilla Grande, it sounded like something that was …

These pop-tarts are a little better than the cinnamon/brown sugar flavor, but not by much at all. To me, pop-tarts just do not seem to fill me up and thus are not worth the money. I eat one and it is like I did not even eat one. Really, …

Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …

Growing up, there were really just a few root beers on the market. My favorite was one called Hires, which I suppose went out of business since it just disappeared one day. One of its main competitors was Mug Root Beer, which is still out there and …

Haagen Daz serves and sells premium and quality ice cream, but I do find their classic flavours too average for my tastes and palate, so I had tried this Mint Chip ice cream and am happy to report that it lives up to it’s name and is equally delicious …

I only have tea occasionally as I prefer coffee, but I like the odd cup as tea is supposed to be so much better for you than coffee. So I am no expert. When it comes to tea, I guess I like a medium strength tea. …

I went to S and R membership shopping to get my groceries and toiletries. S and R is a huge warehouse like supermarket that sells different goods and has an area for people who can get hungry from all the shopping. They are selling pizza, calzone, sandwiches, hotdogs, ice …

After trying out Kopoki Kopiccino, Nescafe released their own instant version of Cappuccino. After green tea, I am always delighted to see varieties of coffees in the supermarket. I love tasting different flavors from mocha, caramel, cappuccino and chocolate latte. It is very exciting to have a different flavors …

The Oishi has a new product in the market and I should say I am like a kid always excited to have a bite of this snack every once in a while. When it comes to snacks and other sort of junk foods, I am always in the know …

For Christmas this year, we went an easier, more simplified route, prompted actually by trying to buy turkey a little too late in the week. Live and learn! Anyway, we ended up purchasing the ‘Homestyle Meatloaf’, a pre-packaged product under the ‘Fresh Deli’ label of Raley’s. The …
