I typically like microwave/oven made meals so I decided to try Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo with Garlic Bread. I was really not pleased with this product.
I removed the plastic cover expecting to taste delicious noodles, tender veggies and flavorful garlic bread. The vegetables were sparse in quantity and lacked …

Grey Goose is a type of vodka that is normally worth around thirty dollars. I understand this is a major problem for most people who care about what they spend their money on. I am not afraid to admit the fact that I am avid drinker. I like to …

I am not generally a big fan of meals that contain a lot of pastry, but my exception to the rule is Schneiders Lean Stuffs Chicken Quesadila pockets. Often they are a ridiculous price at my Supermarket, but when they came on sale for $2.50 I bought them. What …

Quaker is known for its variety of breakfast and snack foods that not only promise health but also promise great taste as well. With their box of instant apple cinnamon oatmeal packets, there is no doubt that it has made breakfast very simple, but the flavor is not that …

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 …

Yes, I know that it is bad to smoke, and so does everyone who does smoke. I am not a smoker anymore(thank God)but I have tried the Marlboro Smooth cigarettes recently. I was told that they smell and taste like an Andes Mint Chocolate Candy- so I …

I find these Entenmann’s Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins to be rather plain and boring. There is simply not much to them. The muffin cake is alright, although somewhat on the dry side. I prefer my muffins to be quite moist and fresh - that is most certainly when …

I loved to eat fruits most especially those rich in fiber, but some times I don’t have time to buy some fresh fruits most especially pineapple because this is one of my favorite fruit. I like this fruit because it is rich in fiber that helps me easily eliminates …

When it comes to brand name mashed potatoes I stick to Betty Crocker, but I liked the fact that the loaded potatoes had bacon and chives in it.
I purchased the Country Crock loaded mashed potatoes because I didn’t really feel like cooking one night, and I decided to take …

Although the Starkist brand has been around now for quite some time, I honestly do not understand what the appeal is. I do not think the company makes particularly good canned tuna fish, and the Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil is as good of an example as …

Snapple Lemon Iced Tea is by far my favorite brand and flavor of iced tea. It is the perfect blend of bitter and sweet with an excellent consistency. Snapple is not to watery or too thick. There are many other flavor such as blueberry, peach, and …

I was never really big on dried food–and still not to be honest–until I had the opportunity to try the Philippine dried mango. I found it on a trip to super Wal-Mart which turned out to be an impulsive buy. I don’t like dried fruit, but I like mango.
The …

Cedarlane Cheese Lasagna is not a frozen pasta meal that I plan on purchasing again because I did not find it to be all that enjoyable. The reason I did not find it to be too enjoyable is because the flavor of the lasagna, be it the pasta, the …

My most favorite organic granola bars to eat are the Cascadian Farms Organic Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars. I like these granola bars because they are made from purely organic ingredients like brown rice syrup, vanilla, chocolate chips, rolled oats, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, soy, sea salt, cream, baking …

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 …

Goya is a local chocolate brand here in the Philippines. As a child it was one of the brands my mom gave me. I think it’s less popular to the kids of the new generation though. In its effort to reintroduce the brand they produced new variety to …

Considering the popularity of energy drinks such as Red Bull, it should come as no surprise that Mountain Dew is jumping on the energy drink bandwagon. Their offering, Mountain Dew Energy, has this to their advantage: the price. While Red Bull and similar products are all over-priced, …

I am starting to be a health freak. I monitor the nutritional facts of the foods I take in. Envidia Green Tea caught my attention by their commercial with the catchy line “One Two Zero”. One for having EGCG (Epigallocathecin Gallate), two for two times power of L-Carnitine and …

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 …

I am an extremely, 100%, die-hard, number one fan of this spread: the Nutella Hazelnut Spread. And I’m not being overly dramatic when I say it’s like heaven inside the mouth. It’s just so smooth, creamy, tasty, and it has just the right sweetness. The only downside is that …

Due to health reasons, I only buy peanut butter that is “natural”, meaning the only ingredients are roasted peanuts and either salt or salt and sugar (and possibly a little extra oil), so that I can avoid the trans fats in hydrogenated oils that are often included in other …

The Walmart Great Value Southern Fried Chicken Patties are a real deal for as many chicken patties that I get! For a little under four dollars, I get eight good-sized chicken patties that taste pretty good and are easy to fix. Those are all real attractive qualities and those …

I wanted something to snack on at work that was slightly better for me than some of the junk food I currently have on my desk. So, I ended up buying a package of Great Value Fig Bars instead.
I like fig bars and eat them on a regular basis. …

I think these are fab little snack bars from Tesco’s own range. I have tried several of their own brand confectionary that are direct rip-offs of well-known brands of chocolate bars, like Mars bar for instance. This one is a carbon-copy of a Snickers bar, although they …

Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake is a pretty decent side dish, although it is by no means perfect. By that, I mean the diced potatoes come across as not tasting fresh. if you have ever tasted boxed potatoes, I think you will discover that this potato bake shares a little …

This is an entirely different kind of pretzel! It’s a pretzel with peanut butter on the inside. I never gave much thought to how pretzels and peanut butter would taste together. I was familiar with pretzels and cheese, but pretzels and peanut butter? I had to give them a …

A product that was purchased weekly by my family for years and years was Del Monte Tomato Sauce. Primarily, we used this sauce as an ingredient for our weekly spaghetti. It’s the most reliable and tasty of the basic can sauces out there in my opinion.

Since I am getting older, my doctor suggested that it was time that I started to lose a few pounds since my metabolism will soon make losing weight around my middle enormously difficult. One of the foods he suggested that I start eating is tuna. I can’t say that …

Due to my digestive problems, I need to eat about 40 grams of fiber a day. It isn’t easy to find healthy sources of fiber because most healthy sources tend to be bland, not to mention unpalatable as well. Whenever I buy snacks, I always look at …

I had bought a pint for only about $5 of Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio / Pistachio Ice Cream and this was a new flavour in our supermarket and I was very eager to try it out! I do love their flavours and there isn’t really a flavour that I …

I tried this milk one day when spotting it at my neighborhood dollar tree. I’d heard about this brand of milk from my mother who simply loves it. I never really understood her infatuation with this milk, especially since she usually buys soymilk. But as I always say, I …

I came home for lunch today and was surprised my wife made a pizza for the two of us. I was thrilled about this, of course, until I actually tried it.
I have had Roma pizzas in the past and was looking forward to the 3-meat one we had in …

San Mig Coffee is definitely one of my favorite coffee brands. I first tried San Mig Coffee last year when I saw it at our neighborhood grocery store. I was surprised to see how cheap it was compared to other brands of instant coffee. It tastes so delicious, the …
