Bay Estate Tea Co: Diet Green Tea
I had the opportunity to try a new brand of bottle tea from Bay Estate Tea Co I had never previously heard of the brand and was curious to give it a try. Normally I don’t drink diet bottled tea, since it’s made with aspartame or some other artificial …
Hungry Jack Complete Buttermilk Pancake Mix
This mix doesn’t have as much fat and cholesterol as the Hungry Jack Original or Buttermilk mixes that call for oil, eggs and milk, but it ultimately fails to produce the same quality pancake that the aforementioned mixes make. The reason the pancakes that are made from this mix …
Nabisco’s Double Stuf Oreos
I am a person that loves those cookies made by Nabisco which goes by the name of Oreos. Since the invention of the original Oreo cookie there have been so many variations on this cookie it is amazing. One of the variations are called Double Stuf Oreos and they …
Truvia Natural Sweetener
I really do not know what to think about this natural sugar alternative. The makers claim that Stevia is used in its manufacture, but to be honest, I don’t think it is used, or if it is, it is used in extremely minute quantities. Stevia has a distinctive bitter …
Don Francisco coffee (beans and ground)
I love my coffee, and I like to try different brands and varieties. I like Don Francisco coffee beans because the price is right, and about $7 for a 12 ounce can. It also comes in 8 ounce bags for about $5. The cans have …
Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites
We decided to have pizza last night and, since I knew it wasn’t going to be something that would last us through our late night movie watching, I decided to pick up something to snack on.
The store I was at happened to have Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites …
Trop50
Trop50 is gross. Advertised as a juice product with 50% less sugar, trop50 is not even really orange juice. It is “vitamin enriched juice drink.” I expected that it would taste like regular orange juice, just a little bit less sweet. I was wrong. …
Papa Murphy’s Vegetarian Pizza
While I like getting my pizzas from Papa Murphy’s here in Beaver Dam, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of their vegetarian pizza.
Maybe it’s the fact I usually prefer to have some meat on pizzas; whether it’s sausage or pepperoni. And, of course, the vegetarian pizza …
Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt
It seems that on every block, you can find 2 or 3 different places to get frozen yogurt these days. Between Pinkberry, Red Mango, 16 Handles, Phileo and all the others, it can be a daunting task trying to find which one is the best! Over the last year …
Nature’s Seasons Seasoning Blend
Nature’s Seasons is a seasoning blend that you sprinkle on foods. I’ve been using it for years and really love the taste. It adds just enough spice but is not overpowering. Nature’s Seasons contains no msg which is great!
I use it on meat, eggs, and in dishes such as …
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pop Tarts
My aunt is constantly sending care packages filled with goodies. This last package contained a new flavor of Pop Tart I had never heard of before, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I immediately thought of the cookie dough flavored ice cream and was greatly intrigued by this new pastry. No …
Pillsbury Grands Butter Flaky Biscuits
I’m not really a biscuit fan until my mom made me try the Pillsbury Grands butter flaky biscuits. They turned out to be the opposite of most of the biscuits I’ve eaten, and the best part was that I actually ate them instead of throwing them out.
Somehow I ended …
Minute Pulpy Orange drink
Minute maid pulpy orange juice has been a comparatively new entry in a market already exploding with beverages, fruit juices, aerated drinks etc. I was looking for a refreshing drink which had no fizz in it; thats when I came across Pulpy Orange. It was featured in the new …
Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs with Pasta Frozen Entree
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 think this may just be about the healthiest pie crust that can be found at the grocery store. The Wholly Wholesome Organic Whole Wheat Crust Pie Crust has two things going for it that will make those that are looking to watch just what they put in their …
PayDay Candy Bar
PayDay Candy Bars make me think back and remember my childhood. It’s a weird kind of symbol of happy family times. No, my family didn’t sit around eating PayDay Candy Bars, but they were one of my mom’s favorites, and I loved them, too.
PayDay Candy Bars are …
NU green tea
NU green tea is a bottled green tea available in my country. It is supposedly a healthy drink, full of benefits from the green tea itself. Although I don’t know how much benefits you could get from drinking a bottled green tea, as from my knowledge, any …
Matouk’s Tomato Paste
I had never used tomato paste until I started cooking a few years back and ran across a recipe for pizza which called for tomato paste as an ingredient in the sauce. I went to the grocery store and was faced with a wide selection which comes in bottles …
Wing zone bbq shrimp

IGA Semi-sweet chocolate chips
I love to bake and semi-sweet chocolate chips are a necessary ingredient in many of my culinary creations. That said, lately I have been unable to find my usual brand of semi-sweet chocolate chips and have been forced to finally try the IGA brand that has seemed to take …
Aunt Jemima - Blueberry Waffles
Aunt Jemima - Blueberry Waffles proved to be just as disappointing as the blueberry pancakes, also made by Aunt Jemima, although unlike the blueberry pancakes, at least these waffles do not suffer from the same problems that frozen pancakes do: namely falling apart easily. The only reason I decided …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs quite unfortunately suffer from the same problems that a majority of low fat or fat free products do: a considerable reduction in flavor and a significant increase in overall blandness. These soft snow puffs almost taste like nothing really as both the …
Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Sandwiches
Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Sandwiches are pretty tasty! What makes them even more appetizing is the price: just two dollars for twelve ice cream sandwiches! That value is downright chillingly good! The quality of the ice cream sandwiches is surprisingly high considering how cheap they sell for. The chocolate …
Kroger - Blueberry Pie
The blueberry pies sold at and only at Kroger in the bakery section are most definitely delicious in a number of wonderful ways! I do not have a single complaint about this pie, aside from the minor complaint regarding the size of the pie and the accompanying not so …

Nescafe Hazelnut Flavored Coffee Mix

Blue Bell’s Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
Ice cream is by far one of my favorite desserts, ever since I was a child there has never been a flavor that I did not like. That is until, I tried Blue Bells’ Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla flavor. I was disappointed when I tried this flavor, especially because …

Cherry Dr.Pepper
Several years ago I won a promotion that gave me a year supply of Dr.Pepper for free. After winning that promotion, I was permanently addicted to Dr.Pepper to some extent and find myself reaching for prehaps a little too often.
When Dr.Pepper released this new flavor, i was pretty excited. …

Orbit Citrusmint Gum

Farmer John Ham Steaks
I’m a little surprised I like this as much as I do, but I’ve enjoyed Farmer John Ham Steaks off and on for several years. The only reason I’m surprised is that it’s really not a brand I’ve heard of that often, aside from seeing a handful of …

Variegated Lemon Thyme

Noel Dux Original Crackers

I’m a big pasta person. And, even though I’m not a huge fan of Ragu spaghetti sauce; I saw a commercial about their clip it and pour it pouches and, being a bit fan of convenience, I figured it would be worth investing in.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.
