McDonald’s Hot Chocolate
This hot chocolate is definently one of my favorites out there to get for a warm winter treat, it is actually a little bit better then Starbuck’s hot chocolate in my opinion. They offer you either kind of milk- Skim or regular and I have tasted it with either …
Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters
This stuff tastes really bad. I bought some right before class the other day and what appealed to me was what I read on the outside of the package. It said that there were clusters of cashews (which is my favorite kind of nut) pecans, and peanuts all put …
Tai Pei General Tso’s Chicken for Two
I have purchased several Tai Pei dinners in the past and, while not great, they usually have proven to be a filling meal when I don’t feel like spending a great deal of time cooking and don’t want to spend a ton of money.
So, when I recently discovered Tai …
Kraft Honey Barbeque Sauce
When it comes to cookouts, for me, there is nothing better than a good bottle of Kraft honey barbeque sauce somewhere close to me. Even though it’s probably intended for cooking (but not limited to), I prefer to use it as a dipping sauce and for cooking.
The design of …
Eve Hot Pepper Sauce
As of recently, I have found that I have developed an addiction to hot pepper sauce on my food even though I did not desire the taste of it a few years ago, and worse detested spicy food when I was little. This is why I was delighted to …
Keebler Special K Strawberry Snack Bars
I did not enjoy these Special K Snack Bars very much. According to the package, these bars are supposed to contain flavorful fruit pieces. The ones I purchased were supposed to contain strawberries. The reason I used the word “supposed” twice is because the strawberry pieces were very small …
Act-II popcorn
Act-II popcorn is very popular with my family. It is very easy to make and gets ready in just 3 minutes. It is so simple that even a novice can make it without any trouble. The instructions on the pack are easy to read and follow.
I used to buy …
Arabian Mocha Sanani Coffee
When looking at the starbucks menu of whole bean coffe, arabian is by far the most exppensive, costing almost 150% the cost of the otehr coffees.
So why so expensive?
Arabian Mocha Sanani is aa complex coffee, with so many different berry and herb flavors hitting your tounge, your swear you …
Chahine Supermarket
I spent my weekend driving around Calgary stocking up on ingredients for ethnic dishes that I was planning to cook over the next weeks. One of the joys of Calgary is the many ethnic markets in the city, and the best Middle Eastern market, in my opinion and according …
Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Waffles
As I’ve often said, I like simplicity in my cooking. To be more specific, I want as little mess as possible and virtually no clean up. This comes from not having a working oven, a stovetop with just one unreliable working burner, and the lack of a …
Foster’s Chicken Franks
Foster’s Chicken Franks tasted as same as any brand hot dog franks, even though I expected some of variation or more chicken flavored taste when I picked this. Foster’s is a good brand name but I did not find that specialty. In addition to that one of the franks …
Hamburger Helper Cheesy Beef Pasta
I love this Hamburger Helper because it’s inexpensive, easy to prepare and it tastes great. The price usually averages about 2 dollars per box, but you should know that this doesn’t include the 1 pound of ground beef that’s required. I believe it’s priced …
Mang Bok’s Manok
I love Chicken! I love them grilled, barbequed, fried, and cooked with sauce. Here in the country, we love lechon manok. It is similar to roasted chicken meals abroad and people always set aside money to buy roasted chicken whenever there are occasions. Chicken Roasters have become popular with …
Nestea Ice Tea
I used to drink tea, but i never thought that there’s more tastier tea drink in the world and that is the Nestea Ice Tea drink. I love the taste and the aroma it fells after drinking it. It makes me calm and make me awake too, because i …
Champ! Chocolate Malt Shoppe Ice Cream Cones
Chocolate lovers, make absolutely sure that you give Champ! Chocolate Malt Shoppe Ice Cream Cones a try as soon as possible because there is a whole lot of deliciously rich and very authentic chocolate just waiting to be enjoyed on this rather loaded and heavy ice cream cone! This …
Best Choice Frozen Leaf Spinach
One of my favorite dishes to prepare is Italian spinach with garlic and parmesan cheese. I usually make this as a side dish once a week on spaghetti night. My husband insists that I use a name brand frozen spinach because he is accustomed to only buying …
Great Value Beef Patties
I’ve been using Great Value Beef Patties for my homemade burgers, and I am very satisfied with them. 12 frozen, ready-to-cook patties come in a re-sealable plastic bag. Unlike some other brands, the patties are not tightly frozen together, so you don’t have to struggle trying to break them …
Natures Plus Chocolate Spirutein Shake
With the autoimmune disease I have I tend to lack energy and when I like energy, my immune system becomes weaker. One of the ways I help keep my energy levels up and my immune system healthy is with the Natures Plus Chocolate Spirutein Shake. I love this shake …
Jacks Frozen Pizzas
I purchase Jacks frozen pizzas because they are the brand that is on sale at the local grocery stores most often. We usually buy two or three and save them for days when neither of us feels like cooking.
Because of the price, you can be sure the Jacks pizzas …
Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna
Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna is an enjoyable change of pace from the meat and cheese lasagna variety. Now, I like cheese, and I do like meat, but I do not mind having something a little different every now and then. Plus, there is still some cheese to be found on …
Big Peach Soda
I personally love peaches, whether it’s the actual fruit or drink, or even cosmetic product. Although I prefer the most natural scents and taste of peaches. With that being said, I decided to try the soda big peach when spotting it while getting gas station. Since it was only …
Gardenia Whole-grain Bread
I never really liked whole-wheat bread despite its nutritional benefits. I don’t like its quite bitter taste and its coarse fibers. It also smells quite off. Well indeed white bread which is made of refined flour tastes and smells better but the problem is it is not at …
Michelina’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Michelina’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce didn’t end up being a meal that I found to be particularly tasty or memorable. There was nothing at all wrong with the spaghetti as the spaghetti was tender in texture and about as thick as the spaghetti that can be bought in the …
Spinach Soup
Yummy to Spinach Soup totally. Not only this soup is nutritious, I also find that the taste is pretty airy and light and gives a fast full reaction in my stomach. The idea of this combined with some bread to dip in is also quite enticing.
Normally, if I …
Amarula Cream liquor
This cream liquour is made of fresh milk and an exotic fruit called marula. This fruit, that I didn’t know beforehand, seems to have a lot of vitamine c. More important than that, mixed with milk makes an unique mix with a soft and delicious taste.
This drink has a …
Gorton’s Fish Sticks
I don’t eat fish sticks as much as I did when I was a kid, but when I do get a craving for them every now and then, I’ll buy a big bag of Gorton’s fish sticks.
The thing I like about the packaging of Gorton’s fish sticks is that …
Blue Bunny Yogurt
Blue Bunny, Lite 85, is my favorite yogurt brand.
It’s Fat Free with no sugar, made with Splenda. And although it’s name says Lite 85, it has only a cool 80 calories! For those who aren’t aware, most women are sensitive to aspartame, the usual sweetener used in …
Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Aged Cheddar Cheese
Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Aged Cheddar Cheese is something that I used to snack on and have with sandwiches before I discovered Sun Chips. After I found, tried and loved Sun Chips, I never felt a desire to purchase these again. That is because the Sun Chips …
Kraft Extra Virgin Olive Oil Pesto Parmesan Dressing
I have become so bored of store-bought salad dressing that I have been making my own dressings and vinaigrettes for a long time now; sometimes, if I am in a hurry, I quickly mix olive oil, extra virgin of course, and balsamic vinegar together and use that for a dressing. …
Hillshire Farm Deli Select Ultra Thin Mesquite Smoked Turkey Breast
Hillshire Farms keeps coming out with new varieties for their Deli Select product line, and so far, they’ve all had something special and tasty to offer. The latest one I’ve tried is Hillshire Farm Deli Select Ultra Thin Mesquite Smoked Turkey Breast. Turkey is probably my favorite …
Oishi Cheese - Soaked Snack Sponge Crunch
What Made Me Try the Product:
I am a lover of cheese snacks — cheese bread, cheese cake, cheese spread and junk foods in cheese flavor. What I particularly love when it comes to cheese flavored junk foods is Planters Cheese Balls. I was craving for it one …
Great Value Instant Garlic Butter Potatoes
I love eating mashed potatoes with any meal, however it takes a lot of work to make them. I don’t always have time to boil potatoes, peel them, mash them, and cream them. Sometimes I just need a quick substitute to homemade mashed potatoes. I tried the Great Value …
Grace Mixed Vegetables
We did not buy but were given a tin of Grace Mixed Vegetables by my grandmother one week. I was saving it at first so I could use it as an ingredient in pasta that I was going to make, but we had to use it one …
Simply Apple-Pure Pressed Apple Juice
I am not a huge fan of apple juice, but do enjoy a glass once in a while. Now come the fall when the local orchard makes the fresh apple cider, that’s a different story.
At a recent dinner get-together my mother-in-law brought out Simply Apple juice for our …
Blue Diamond Sandwich Steaks
We all know how expensive Steak Umms and Quaker Maid are, well I found a really good product, and it’s called Blue Diamond Sandwich Steaks. They are 100% all beef. The Sandwich Steaks come in a 12OZ box, which is 6 steaks. These steaks are just as good as …
Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix
I have tried almost all of the meal replacement shakes out there and none comes close to Herbalife’s Nutritional Shake Mix. There are more flavors, than just vanilla and chocolate to choose from. The have a berry, pina coloda, and cookies n cream. They taste great …
Jack-N-the-Box French Fries
Jack-n-the-box fries are pretty disappointing because I expected them to taste a lot better. Jack-n-the-box has a lot of really great offerings, which is why I stop by the fast food place whenever I get the chance, which isn’t that often. I love a lot of their different foods, …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights Molten Chocolate Cake
Often I need a little treat after work that doesn’t take much time. I am a chocolate addict and can live off chocolate alone if I could. When I saw Warm Delights on the shelf at my local store, the picture on the front of the package looked delicious. …
Lucky Choco Chocolate
As I mentioned in a previous review, my favourite types and brands of chocolates and sweets are those that I do not think are sickeningly sweet. This, a part from the price of it, was one of the things that attracted me to buying “Lucky Choco Chocolates”. These are …
Little Debbie Snack Pie - Peach
Although out of all the snack pies Little Debbie makes I prefer the cherry variety the most, I feel that this Little Debbie Snack Pie - Peach variety is good too, just like the lemon variety is. The peach chunks taste quite fresh and rich and thankfully, authentic and …
Smarties candies
I can actually remember a time when Smarties candies did not come in the color blue. I know that is probably saying a lot about how old I am but in the 1980’s and being a child who was a chocolate lover, I was well acquainted with Smarties. It …
Bake and Churn’s Ice Cream Cakes
We often go to Robinson Supermarket to buy groceries and other stuffs and we always see this Bake and Churn Ice Cream Cake’s stall at the entrance part of the supermarket. I never tried buying any of these ice cream cakes because I thought to myself …
Orbit Gum:Wrigley’s Best Product
Most chewing gums are either way too sweet, get “old” too fast, or taste very artificial. Wrigley’s has found a way to conquer all three of these chewing caveats by producing a line of gum called Orbit. The packs are small, cost in the neighborhood of a …
Bremer Meatball and Mozzarella Hot Stuffed Sandwiches
If you’ve ever eaten a Hot Pocket before, and I would say odds are a majority of people have considering how long the brand has been around and how popular it is, then the Bremer Meatball and Mozzarella Hot Stuffed Sandwiches will look quite familiar and even taste similar …
Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry
Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry is not a flavor combination that I am wild about. The combination sounded tasty, but unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case. I do not feel that either flavor, be it the chocolate or the raspberry, came out well because this yogurt …
Bird’s Eye Voila: Alfredo Chicken
I’m not really into Italian cuisine, but as soon as that statement came to mind, I didn’t know what about Italian cuisine I didn’t like. I think it’s usually the cuisines which involve drowning the pasta in heavy sauce or cream of some kind, but something told me I …
Carl’s Jr. - The Kentucky Bourbon Six-Dollar Burger
Carl’s Jr. - The Kentucky Bourbon Six-Dollar Burger is not worth even three dollars, in my opinion. I was not all that pleased with this burger because I did not really find anything all that special about it and there definitely should have been something special about it considering …
Herradura Anejo Tequila
Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …
Kombucha Tea Healthy Home Brew
There are several variations of Kombucha tea, but this review is for the kind you brew at home rather than the kind you purchase at health food stores. Kombucha tea has been around for centuries, but is gaining more and more popularity for its health benefits. The …
