St Helier Pear Cider
As this is a drink I was unsure what category to put this in so here it is stuck in the food one.
Pear cider..what’s so exciting about that? Well apparently years ago orchard owners kept a corner of their orchard for growing pears for their cider as they believed …
Stouffer’s Lasagna with meat and sauce
I have been eating Stouffer’s Lasagna for about 3 years and I really love this lasagna. Stouffer’s Lasagna is sold in small microwavable containers but they are also available in large oven trays. I love the fact that Stouffer’s Lasagna is sold in microwavable trays because they …
Wendy’s - Baconator
Wendy’s - Baconator is a burger that can be hit or miss. The burger comes with a total six strips of bacon that is hickory smoked and whenever bacon comes on or with something, I am typically cautious. The reason I am cautious is because bacon a lot of …
Starbucks Dark Mocha Iced Frappucino
I had tasted the other dark mocha frappucinos such as dark cherry mocha but this is better than the dark cherry mocha. It tastes just like pure dark chocolate with mocha and the iced frappucino just lingers in your throat and it’s such a thick, rich, and creamy drink …

Inernational House of Pancakes (Ihop)

Parati Minueto Chocolate and Vanilla Wafers

Tai Pei Garlic Shrimp
This morning I was at the store and decided, while I was there, to pick up something easy for lunch. I decided to buy Tai Pei brand garlic shrimp. And, I was impressed with my purchase.

Count Chocula Cereal
I am a huge fan of cereal, and always try and pick a healthy one that tastes great. Sometimes this is a challenge, and I have to choose health over flavour, then I discovered Count Chocula by General Mills.
I nearly passed on by Count Chocula at the Supermarket. I …
Diet Coke Soft Drink
Just imagine, it is a hot, humid day and you need a drink of anything to quench your thirst. You are battling the scale so you don’t want to refresh your parched palate with something that will potentially add more calories. You want to taste carbonated bubbles that …
Taco Bell Cantina Tacos - Shredded Chicken
The new Cantina tacos at Taco Bell are just over $2 each, but do come in a combination meal for $6 including a drink. With the heavy advertising centered on the double-thick soft corn tortilla shells, fresh cilantro, lime, and deliciously seasoned meats, I felt compelled to at …
Pure Bulk Syrup (Cherry)
I’m not a huge fan of syrup like some people are, so I’m not too interested in mixing a glass of diluted syrup like myself unlike some people. The only way I would drink it, is if there is nothing else there to drink, and I really need something …

Lady’s Choice Caesar Salad Dressing

Snapple Peach Iced Tea
I have just lately started drinking Snapple peach iced tea, because my parents buy it for themselves. So I thought I would try it. I am familiar with regular Snapple, but this is a nice change from that because of the fruity taste. What’s nice about it is that …

Mastroianni Bros - Italian Raisin Bread
Mastroianni Bros - Italian Raisin Bread is a bread that I will not spend money on again. The reason is I did not enjoy it very much. Although I most definitely like raisins, I did not find this bread to be loaded with the tasty, natural candies that I …
Samba Corned Beef
I am being particular when it comes to preserved canned foods. It has to meet my quality. When I check on the canned goods, I have to read the expiration date and the external properties of the can. It should not have bend sides, because when you see that …
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
Yesterday I allowed my son to have a last minute play date with one of his friends from school. Since the play date fell on a school night, I decided to let them bake holiday cookies instead of playing with video games. I decided on the activity of baking cookies …
Popsicle Fudgsicle Ice Cream Bars
Popsicles are a stable of every child’s life. I grew up with them, in various varieties. My favorite, though, was definitely the Popsicle Fudgsicle Ice Cream Bar. How can you beat chocolate ice cream? For a kid like me, you couldn’t.
Popsicle Fudgsicle Ice Cream Bars …
Trader Joe’s Handcrafted Cheese Enchiladas
I really wanted to like these cheese enchiladas. They looked so yummy and I generally really like frozen Mexican food. Unfortunately, I really wasn’t that impressed with them.
This nearly 10 ounce package provides two cheese enchiladas in a microwaveable container. However, the microwaving instructions were confusing. They tell you …
Angel Coffee Creamer
Coffee has always been a good ritual drink in the morning or perhaps anytime of the day. I sometimes use ready-to-drink mix where Nescafe has famously produced several varieties like “unsweetened”, “decaf” or “strong” as they call it. The good thing with ready mix is that it is spill-proof, easy …
Kellogg’s Frosted Rice Krispies Cereal
I like Rice Krispies cereal, but I love Frosted Rice Krispies cereal! I find this cereal to be positively delicious, but unfortunately, the reason this cereal is so good is also the reason why a person should avoid it, or at least, only have it once and awhile. This …
Jell-o Gelatin - Watermelon
Jell-o Gelatin - Watermelon variety is a deliciously rich gelatin treat that offers the flavor of watermelon in a very big way. The flavor is just as one might expect from something that is supposed to have a watermelon flavor. It is quite authentic and real, and that is …
McDonald’s Single Hamburger
I know what you’re thinking. How can anyone submit a review for perhaps the blandest, most uninspiring sandwich that McDonald’s “manufactures” in its franchises. But those who skip over this little sandwich on the fast food menu are missing out on something: simple goodness. Packing in …
Forrelli Creamy Chicken Soup Mix
A two-pouch package of powdered soup mix (just add water), this seemed like the budgeter’s dream alternative to Knorr and other premier soup mixes. I was in the mood for a hot soup without the bother of opening a can or using the milk. And, I love …
Strawberry Peanut Butter M&Ms
One day I was shopping at Walmart and I was browsing the candy racks, something I shouldn’t have been doing in the first place but always seem to be doing, and a reddish bag that said M&Ms caught my eye. I picked it up and took a closer …
Vigo Italian Arborio Rice

Kuchenmeister Lemon Pound Cake

Cedarlane Burrito Grande with Chili Verde Sauce
Cedarlane Burrito Grande with Chili Verde Sauce is a pretty delectable dish with the exception of the sauce. I do not like the sauce that coats the top layer of this burrito. I actually do not have a clue just what the sauce is or it consists of, but …

Product Description: A salad kit that contains cranberries, granola, sunflower seeds and dressing; a combination that is designed to work well with a fresh spinach salad. Available for $2.50 at Walmart in their salad dressing section.

Blue Bunny BIG Star Bar - Vanilla
Blue Bunny BIG Star Bar - Vanilla is a pretty decent treat that I enjoy having from time to time. I must say, these star bars are indeed quite big! The word “big” appears capitalized on the box for very good reason! These star bars are really quite filling …
Lean Cuisine Grilled Chicken Primavera Frozen Entree
This frozen entrée looks so colorful and healthy, and I couldn’t not buy it when I saw the picture on the box. It is a mixture of grilled chicken, broccoli, tomatoes and asparagus tossed with wheat vermicelli and garlic sauce. The bright colors of the asparagus and tomatoes make …

Planters Smoked Almonds
I had read in Oprah that if you eat 1 ounce of almonds a day 7 days before the onset of your cycle and continue thru the last day, that your cramps will lessen. The 1st month worked pretty good, my cramps where not as bad as before. Usually …
Sainsbury’s White Bagette with Sesame Seed
This White Bagette with Sesame Seed can be found in Sainsbury’s in-store bakery. They are always fresh and delicious and not only that, they are very cheap I think at only 65 pence for this rather jumbo sized bagette. This is a big, thick bagette that measures …
Van de Kamps Whole Fillet Fish Sticks
We haven’t had fish sticks in a while so I decided to pick up a box of them the other day. Since most cheaper brands are kind of gross, I figured I would spend the extra money and buy a box of Van De Kamps Whole Fillet Fish sticks …
Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich
Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich is one sandwich which is very basic and does not excite me very much. The lettuce quality that I receive is not one thing I am happy about. The amount of mayonnaise often does not have any uniformity. One thing I feel good about …
California Pizza Kitchen’s Chipotle Pizza
