Unlike with the Pasta Side that combines the mild Parmesan and Romano Alfredo sauce with the also mild flavor of broccoli, the cheddar and broccoli Pasta Side mix doesn’t go nearly as well together. To me, the cheddar flavored sauce is just too strong and does not go well …

How I missed corn bread! Growing up, my grandmother was great at making corn bread, and I just loved it. My father made a mean corn bread, too. Actually, so do I, but I just hate the mess anymore. The best corn bread was always …

I got attracted to the label of this product which says egg less. Come to think of it, it was a mayonnaise but I said, wow there is something in this mayonnaise that I would certainly enjoy so I was curious and bought the product of Heinz.
I do use …

Eggo: Strawberry Bake Shop Twists are, admittedly, a little better than the apple variety, although the improvement is not so great that I feel that I will be purchasing these again. Many of the problems that plague the apple twists re-surface here. For example, there is not a whole …

I love having an afternoon snacks. Usually I eat croissant or cheese bread but I want to slash the calorie intake that I have that is why I need to eat something healthy. I came across Welch’s Fruit Snacks and I thought this was good and healthy given that …

Growing up, all I knew was tap water. It stayed that way until just ten or fifteen years ago. I’m not sure why I suddenly decided to try water that I had to buy, but I’m sure there was a catalyst that I’ve forgotten.
After some experimenting, I …

I love Hamburger helper and their many varieties of dinner kits. There’s nothing more convenient than having an easy one skillet meal to whip up in under an hour. Hamburger helper is one of those dinner kits that you can never go wrong with. Especially if all you …

ALDI Food Market stores stopped carrying Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks a couple of months back and replaced them with Clancy’s Pretzel Rings. Now I liked the sticks because they were always fresh and salty, and I figured that although these pretzels were a different shape, they were still sold under …

Fairprice’s Sardines in Tomato Sauce (155gm) is the house brand of Fairprice supermarket. I bought a few tins of Fairprice’s Sardines in Tomato Sauce, the 155gm tins, when there was a promotion.
I like a good bargain. In term of pricing, Fairprice’s Sardines in Tomato Sauce is a …

I love muffins and I’m pleased to see the trend toward overly large, too sweet muffins seems to be coming to a close. Muffins are supposed to be a bread, not a cupcake.
Haggen Foods here in Bellingham seems to be correcting its previous tendency of cakeness and I am …

I love chocolates, not as much as I used to, but I still enjoy eating a bar of chocolate every other day or so.I can’t say that I have a favourite chocolate, but one chocolate that I really love is Bounty.For anyone who is unfamiliar with Bounty, it is …

The Berryhill Wild Blueberry Fruit Syrup comes in a thirteen ounce bottle for two dollars and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. After trying the Smucker’s Blueberry Syrup and being real disappointed, I was kind of hesitant to give this blueberry syrup a try. I didn’t want to …

I have enjoyed BayMist Cranberry Raspberry Juice Cocktail for some eight months (bought at a Sav-A-Lot store in Tucson at under two Dollars) especially for its pleasant raspberry flavor, even when diluted one part juice with two parts water. A 64 oz. bottle bought on May 10, 2007 - …

I have enjoyed raisins both by themselves and mixed in with other ingredients and foods for years. The flavor and texture of a raisin has always been satisfying to me. I’ve tried cereals with raisins before, and while I’ve had some cereals that disappointed me either due to there …

V is a carbonated drink that is designed to give you energy. It comes in four different varieties in different colored cans. Even though I’m a bit of a soft drink addict, I can’t say I like V all that much - it’s just ok, but certainly not my …

The Cloverhill Bakery - Golden Pound Cake is nothing all that remarkable. I have had pound cakes from a number of companies and they all basically taste the same to me, which is no surprise since the ingredients seldom vary. As for this pound cake, well, it is certainly …

The mixed snack taste good but not all the mix taste good. It only tastes good when all the ingredients are combining. The corn is crunchy and salty. Some are spicy. The green peas have an overpowering taste. It is well blend once you chew it together with …

One of …

I am not a huge fan of Weight Watchers pre-packaged foods, but these Double Fudge Cake’s are the exception to the rule. Recently this frozen pre-packaged box of 2 individual cakes was on sale for $1.99CDN at my local grocery store so I bought them.
These cakes are delicious! They …

I recently purchased a container of J Higgs cashews during one of our rare trips to our local Save-a-Lot store. They were $2.99, but I figured it would be a nice snack to have whenever I’m sitting at watching TV.
Overall, this was a decent product. It wasn’t as good …

I really fail to see what’s so spicy about the El Monterey Spicy Taco Picante Burritos. While I can see and taste some jalapenos and green chilies, neither ingredient is plentiful enough in quantity or strong enough in flavor to give these burritos a spicy kick. If both the …

It was the holiday season and I was rushing for ingredients to make a special dinner for some relatives I would be having over. Unfortunately one of the ingredients I needed to pick up at the store was soy sauce.
I think everyone had the same idea I did and …

Hawaiian Original Kettle Style Chips are chips that are best suited for those that are worried about all the salt that is packed together on the surface of each chip. This particular variety of potato chip goes lighter on the salt than most potato chips that I have tasted …

I bought a few cans of these from Pick N Save this past December and I must say they are much better than I expected. They were on sale, so that was one of the reasons I picked them up. Perhaps I should have bought a few more of …

I have been drinking mountain dew for years. It has such a wonderful citric taste.It can become quite addictive! An 8 fl oz bottle only has 110 calories which isn’t that bad but the sugars are 31 g. I use to drink 3 (8 fl oz) bottles a day …

Idahoan instant mashed potatoes come in a variety of flavors; the latest I we have tried is Loaded Baked, flavored with butter, sour cream, cheese, onion, and bacon. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? Now that I have tried this dish, I can say that it tastes delicious as well.
Just like …

The other day I got really thirsty and stopped by the convenience store to pick up a drink. I wasn’t in the mood for a soda so I decided to try Lipton PureLeaf Raspberry Iced Tea. I usually don’t drink bottled tea but I decided I would …

New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps excel when it comes to the raisin portion of the bagel crisp but fall short in terms of cinnamon seasoning. For each bagel crisp, which is admittedly fairly small, a good number of raisins are crammed in. The raisins are tasty …

I knew I might not like this frozen stuffed sandwich because of it being “lean”, but I was willing to give it a try for a dollar seventy-eight. Unfortunately, my concerns turned out to be justified as this stuffed sandwich just came across as being pretty bland to me …

Hershey’s: Whoppers Chocolate Malt Syrup is a chocolate syrup that I occasionally add to my ice cream because I find that it offers a pretty rich chocolate flavor that enhances chocolate ice cream. Although chocolate on chocolate might seem like overkill, this syrup has a chocolate flavor that is …

I recently bought some Cafe Bustelo grinded coffee beans to replace my Maxwell house coffee and I have just loved it. The Maxwell house cofee was ok, but it was a lot more expensive to buy and didn’t really think it tasted all that great. It said it …

As a lover of the well known cheese cracker snack, I tried another one their flavors. Cheez-it hot N spicy. Cheez-it that’s flavored with original Tabasco hot sauce. Next to the original cheez-it crackers, these have become my favorite. I found that I can eat them by themselves, with …

What I liked about this product: One of the main reasons I ended up buying …

Unlike the pineapple and blackberry varieties of the Hostess pies, this strawberry variety is unfortunately a lot more like the apple and cherry varieties. That means that the filling, in my opinion, is not as authentic and rich as it should be. It has an artificial flavor to it …

Agreeably, staying in great shape is not a walk in the park. That’s why I’m delighted when my mom brought home some protein bars that she recently bought.
I thought to myself that the protein bars would be good alternatives to my regular meals, which are normally rich in carbohydrates …

It is a 95 degree day here in Detroit and the sun is beating on my brow, as I sit down to review an American classic, Budweiser, to be more specific, Budweiser in the can. Now, the casual beer drinker may say, “so what if it is in an …

Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves are some of the tastiest preserves you will ever get your hands on. I love the chunks of strawberry that I get from Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves. It makes them taste even better and you know that they are using a lot of real strawberries. I purchase …

When I transitioned from my late teens to my 20s, I started to watch what I ate. Sadly, this meant no more deep-fried foods, substituting lean meats for beef, upping my vegetable intake about three times, and watching the amount of sugar I ate. This is sadly …

I’ve been an avid coffee drinker for as long as I can remember,,, From the time I was 3 or 4 years old, I still remember sitting around with my parents or grandparents in front of the fireplace on those cold winter mornings, sipping on a piping hot cup …

Although I enjoy munching on raisins fairly regularly, I do not at all care for these Little Debbie Raisin Creme Pies. The reason I am not at all delighted with this pie is because the raisin flavor is not what I expected to be. I was really very disappointed …

I have bought these Options instant hot chocolate drink sachets when I have been dieting as they are very, very low in calories at only 34 in every drink. But when I am not trying to lose weight, I would rather get a different brand as these Options …

In this economy, one of the ways our family has tried to save money is by purchasing generic items instead of name brand products. The last time I was at the grocery store, I decided to try Best Choice Frozen Breaded Zucchini, a generic product that our store …

I customarily drink tea right after every meal. It gave me better digestion and an immediate relief of what I just ate. Green tea is the best of all tea because it is naturally rich in antioxidants. The latter can be an important agent inside the body to fight …

The other day I was craving a monster energy drink while I was at my local Brandsmart USA. I walked to the vending machine and I saw the can for about two dollars and fifty cents. It was really expensive for that price and I thought to myself …

Farm Rich French toast sticks are the best as far as French toast in concerned. I started buying them in my freshman year of college because I loved eating French toast, but didn’t know how to cook it. When I finally learned how to cook French toast, it just …

Tong Garden Sunflower Honey flavor is the other Tong Garden food I bought last night aside from the barbeque flavor. This is the first time I got to know that sunflower seed can be a food or snacks so I gave it a try. It comes out with 30g …

The other day I purchased some Tazo tea and I thought that it would be worthy of a review. Now I’m a big tea snob, and won’t settle for just any kind of tea. I purchased Tazo’s Passion tea and I was expecting it to be like some other …
