I had been eating a lot of home made trail mix and one of my friends had included pieces of dried apple in hers. I tried it and liked it but found myself picking out and eating the apple pieces first. My friend shared with brand she had gotten …

Silk is known for their line of healthy soy milk drinks. One such drink is supposed to be a “rich, velvety” milk chocolate flavored beverage. My first roommate in college was adamantly vegetarian and gave me daily lectures on my murderous meat-eating ways, trying to force various …

There are so many varieties of tea’s out there, and I have tried many of them. One tea that I find to be particularly delicious and soothing is Bentley’s English Breakfast Tea. It’s great with added ingredients and just fine by itself.
I had thought as a child that this …

Product Description: Low calorie Shrimp Scampi frozen dinner from Lean Cuisine in a steam fresh bag that you can put right in your microwave oven.
What I liked about this product: One of the reasons why I go through so many frozen dinners in my house is the convenience. We …

I am most certainly a popsicle addict. But I like popsicle flavors that are a little “outside the box”, not your traditional Cherry, Grape, and Orange. So, when I perused the frozen food aisles at my local Kroger several years ago, and found banana popsicles, …

I am a fan of Nescafe Trio Coffee. I bought a box that contains 6 sachets of 25g every week. I usually have my coffee at work in the afternoon because it is less pressure during afternoon. Coffee keeps me awake and alert. Just recently I shifted on drinking …

Stouffer’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce is nothing all that spectacular or special. I bought it once and was moderately satisfied with what it had to offer to me and then I tried a few other of Stouffer’s frozen pasta meals and I have never felt a need to purchase …

When I get hungry, I usually grab a piece of bread or a pack of biscuits. I was shopping in a nearby grocery store and I decided to purchase a big pack of crackers. I chose Rebisco crackers because it has four big crackers or square biscuits in just …

Another guilty pleasure of mine is buying “Charles Peanut Gems” whenever I can find them. These are chocolate covered peanuts that have a candy coating. In a sense they remind me of a cheaper, more Caribbean brand of M&Ms since it have blue, yellow, green brown and red chocolate …

In the Philippines, it is a popular practice to bring home a souvenir to your family and friends whenever you leave home and travel locally called a pasalubong. The more popular pasalubong are foods that are made locally. Each region has a specialty and if you are ever in …

I have been participating in the coke rewards program since two years ago, roughly 2006. I have earned some fantastic free prices during my stint of obsessively collecting codes and text messaging them in, or sitting down at my computer to enter my codes for points. I have …

I wasn’t raised eating Swedish meatballs, but once I tried Lean Cuisine’s recipe I thought they were wonderful! This is a great classic dish combining meatballs made with pork, beef, and oatmeal, mixed with egg noodles and gravy.
I love the way this tastes. There’s something special about the way …

Even though I have seen this drink in shops and supermarkets several times, I never actually bought one and so I never got to taste it for a long time after I saw it for the first time. The only time I actually did get to taste the Tampico …

These are lovely Hot Cross Buns from The Co-operative’s own brand and I only paid 30 pence for them as they had been reduced as they were nearing their sell by date. That is one of the good things about the Co-op and you should always look out …

We made a lasagna dinner last night and, as we usually do whenever we have pasta, we decided to get some garlic bread to go with it.
We didn’t have a whole lot of money to spend so we kept within a tight budget and bought the cheapest brand we …

It looks like grass, it smells like grass…and yes, it also tastes like grass. I don’t quite understand how anyone in the world could enjoy drinking Odwallas Superfood. To me, it tastes just like you are drinking fresh cut grass, and the drink itself is this nasty thick green …

3 Musketeers is a very popular chocolate brand that is under Mars, Incorporated which also distributes other famous chocolate brands such as M&M, Mars and Maltesers. I received a bag of fun sized 3 Musketeers chocolate for Christmas and couldn’t resist opening it immediately and eating a piece …

I am a huge rice fan, and in the past I have bought many Uncle Ben’s products, including rice ones. Recently on the television I kept seeing the commercials for the Bistro Express Indian Style Curry with Basmati Rice and I have to admit it looked really tempting. The …

Betty Crocker - Walnut Chunk Brownies offer a nice change of pace from the smooth and chocolate rich brownies that generally dominate the grocery store. Indeed, the word “chunk” most definitely applies to this brownie! You will most certainly be able to taste the walnut flavor sticking out from …

Wild Cherry Pepsi is Pepsi’s equivalent to Cherry Coke. Don’t know which one of the two competing companies had come up with the idea of adding cherry flavor first, but it doesn’t matter, I love them both. Wild Cherry Pepsi offers a nice combination of cherry and cola taste. …

Whenever my family goes to the province they always bring back lots of snacks like mango tarts, sans rivals, egg tarts, and caramel tarts. My favorite provincial caramel tarts are the ones from Virgie’s from Bacolod City and they are very tasty and very affordable. They come in a …

I never really liked vegetables all that much except for salads of course. But I saw this Voila Cheesy Ranch Chicken Dinner in the Bird’s Eye Frozen vegetables section and couldn’t resist trying it out.
This product is a full dinner all in one package. And I was really surprised …

When I was working the night shift, I would normally get me a cheeseburger from the nearest McDonald’s restaurant in the corner and add a huge cup of Venti Mocha Frapuccino on the side. I know this may seem weird but I like to pair coffee with anything. Any …

Stouffer’s Grilled Vegetable French Bread Pizza is quite enjoyable, although there are a few complaints that I do have about the pizza. For one, I do not like zucchini. I was able to pick it off for the most part. I wish that zucchini had not been included as …

These cashews are a tasty little snack someone bought for me because they knew I love cashews. I had never heard of the Harbor View Snack brand before, so I had no expectations based on brand alone. Inside the peel-away tin, it was brimming with cashew halves …

I am a mother and I am always worried about the healthy diet of my children. My children skip their meals very often and I have to force them to have the meals. I was in search of something, which is very tasty and also good in …

Last Wednesday, my husband’s boss had gifted us a 3.3 lb tin of the Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies. Even while I think of it and pen down this review, my mouth actually waters. Such is the aroma and taste of the butter cookies. True to its origin !!!

A couple weeks ago while browsing the supermarket shelves I came across a new brand of chocolate bar by the name of Milka. There are 5 different varieties of this new chocolate to choose from and since I am a big fan of the chocolate/caramel combination I decided to …

Have you tried Mcdonalds’ new sweet tea yet? I have. And let me tell you; it is amazing. It’s a new drink that Mcdonalds has, and lately, I have been ordering it all the time. The drink seems to be brewed to perfection! Well, most of the time. Honestly, …

TV has a way of alluring people, such as myself with wonderful commercials showing new products, mainly food or dessert. In this instance I watched a commercial about Fiber One Ninety Calorie chocolate fudge Brownies. I wasn’t craving brownies until I watched this commercial a handful of …

Continuing onward with my daily lunchtime soup odyssey, we have the next big member in the Campbell’s Chunky “starting line” of soups (AKA the official soup of the NFL, whatever the heck that means.) This time up, I’ve got in the lunch pail Campbell’s Chunky Soup Jazzy Jambalaya, our …

The last time I commented on the same kind of product but of different brand, I had to be really mean because I have nothing good to say about the product except that it was cheap. Well, computing and thinking about it, this product is also cheap because it …

I went and bought a 12-pack of Shasta Creme Soda yesterday, pretty much on compulsion as I saw it in the store and thought, hey, I haven’t had creme soda for quite a while. As I brought it home I noticed my 12-pack was dripping; I opened it and …

U know what, it is so easy to make the Jalebee now. It is so because the Git’s has introduced the jalebee mix using which it is dam easy to prepare the hot crispy and tasty sweet dish called jalebee. It is the favourite sweet dish for …

I bought this from my local convenience shop because it looked like a good, large slab of milk chocolate but at only 44 pence. This is very economical as you would expect to pay more like £1 for such a large bar. This is 100g. The …

Raspberry Lime flavored water from hint is definitely a delicious combination of two tasty flavors! Having that combination infused into water makes for a drink that is both refreshing and really quite tasty! I like both raspberry and lime and both flavors are really well represented in this drink. …

Metromint - Cherrymint Water is quite a tasty variety of flavored water that I reach for once, sometimes twice, a week because it is a drink that I find to be pleasant in taste and refreshing in quality. The fact that this is a water-based drink already makes it …

I like spicy food, crunchy tacos, and nacho cheese, so I thought I would like Taco Bell’s Volcano Taco for sure. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The Volcano Taco was very disappointing, and I’m glad I had the rest of their box meal to fall back on.
I found the …

I bought some Elmlea double cream substitute, which I thought was supposed to be healthier than cream. It has less fat than cream and a friend had recommended it to me. When I opened it up, it looked OK, quite nice and thick and it keeps for ages in …

I’ve always been a fan of Pretz Tomato Biscuit Sticks. They don’t taste like tomato at all, but the onion and spices embedded in these biscuit sticks give them a delicious taste. The taste is like vegetable crackers, but better! It doesn’t have MSG like most salty Asian snacks. …

On the heels of my experience with the Cuervo Gold Margarita drink, I decided that I would investigate what other pre-mixed drinks were out there. It seems that fusions of food and beverages are becoming extremely popular these days. I visited my local package store and …

Although not always true, the old expression that a person gets what he or she pays for is sometimes true. This spaghetti sauce cost just eighty-eight cents and it’s cheaper than pretty much every other spaghetti sauce sold down the pasta aisle. For eighty-eight cents, one sure doesn’t get …

As far as energy drinks go, this one is excellent. If I’m tired or need a sudden load of energy for half an hour to a couple of hours, I’ll buy this. I don’t buy energy drinks very often, but when I do, I mostly buy this.
One …

Who doesn’t like a cookie or two now and then? Perhaps even with nice cold glass of milk to dunk the cookies in? I’m sure there probably are some out there that would pass on either the cookies, the milk, or both, but in all likelihood, those that would …

Chineses love teas, I believe they too are the ones together with the Japanese people that might have introduced teas, or even juice extracts to the world. For the Chinese, everything is almost edible and every fruit or flower has its own medicinal benefits. I am here to actually …

I’ve been looking for some other alternative to the instant noodle packs I’m used to buying for emergency food. What used to cost Php5 per pack of instant noodles is now more than Php8. It’s not that much really but if you’re trying to live on a budget, …

I am not what you would call a beer fan, and hard liquor turns me the color of a freshly boiled lobster ready to be served on a silver platter after one shot while wine coolers pretty much taste nasty, even if they do smell yummy.
In short, the only …

This is one of my all-time favorites offered by Weight Watchers Smart Ones. I love shrimp, and I think you have to enjoy shrimp to like this one. It’s basically linguine tossed with small shrimp and a light tomato sauce. I love how tender the pasta is, and I …

Seasoning salt seems a rather silly thing to get excited about, because in reality, aren’t all seasoning salts made with the same ingredients, and look and taste exactly alike? I thought so too-generally, I tried to always have some on hand, mainly to flavour steaks, hamburgers and even salads, …
