Aunt Jemima: Lite Syrup is really a horrible syrup! I tried this syrup because it offered significantly less sugar than the regular syrups, but boy oh boy does the reduction of sugar result in a massive reduction of flavor which seriously ruins the entire breakfast. This syrup had such …

As wafers go, mini Nillas rank up there. They’re right next to the regular-sized Nillas on the store shelf and probably offered as an alternative necessary to certain recipes. I wasn’t taken by the packaging: they featured Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman, two race car drivers, on the front, …

I am always on the lookout for ways to liven up meals in my house. I confess that I am not much of a cook. I also work long hours and do not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals. On …

Since I was a kid, my mom is telling me to always eat on time. She never miss to bring me my packed lunch from my first day in school, when I was working in the city and now that I am already a full time self-employed individual. Mom …

The Filipinos have this very unique custom that whenever somebody comes home from somewhere, especially another country, the one coming home brings gifts to his friends and family, usually something indigenous to the place he just came from. So this Christmas, when our OFW relatives came home, they brought …

My wife and I owns a small pizza business. We started January 2009. Before we opened our little pizzeria, we cooked several batches of pizzas and sampled different brands of chili sauces. We found one our customers really love. Del Monte Sweet Chili Sauce, a wonderful blend of chili, …

I did not find anything all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls. I simply found them to be satisfactory and pretty much identical to the other pecan swirl treats sold by other companies. That is both a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because I …

I am really happy with this product Kroger Instant Mashed Potatoes with garlic. For about $1.50 US you get two pouches of instant mashed potatoes, which have four servings each. These instant potatoes are not only delicious but also a nice way to make dinner a little less bland, if …

Even though I love eating at BBQ restaurants and on the go trucks, there is something about KFC BBQ wings that I’ve become loyal to. The small box of six is okay, but it’s the big box that has my stomach growling with happiness.
The reason I love KFC BBQ …

In the west coast, I relied on a restaurant called Baja Fresh for good, filling nachos. When I moved to the Midwest, there weren’t any branches of that restaurant so I went on a venture to find another good nacho place. A friend introduced me to Moe’s …

One of my favorite snacks is doritoes in the nacho cheese flavor. They are a type of chips made by the Frito Lay company. They have a very distinct red bag. They come in several different sizes to fit your snacking desires. They also come …

Rice seems to be such a simple thing to cook but I have not yet mastered the art of getting it right ie. nice and fluffy and separated. But I love rice and this packet of Veetee Dine In Basmati Rice and Mushroom looked so tempting on the …

I am a big Chinese and Japanese food fan I especially enjoy a good miso soup. That is why when I saw this at the grocery store I knew that I had to buy it. I paid a little over $2.00 for it which was not too bad and …

I should probably not watch television as much as I do because one is never sure what they will learn. I stumbled across a program about how chewing gum is made and was educated in the fact that the gum base is a mixture of rubber and plastic, …

I am a keen quaffer of Scotch whisky and I can claim a degree of discrimination when I drink it. Like all unique drinks of any kind, there are certain brands of Scotch which may lay claim to excellence in their own, if no one else’s eyes. Amongst those …

Pizza Hut recently reintroduced the Stuffed Crust Pizza. I remember this coming out a few years back, they put a tube of cheese inside the crust to encourage people to eat the crust. Some pizza places don’t have very good crust, but Pizza Huts was never that …

I strode through the dirks section of the supermarket and searched for some drinks to help me cleanse my body and make it fit at the same time. Of course, I have tried a lot of drinks which were high in fiber and L-Carnitine for body slimming, yet the …

I enjoy eating snacks and treats that have an apple-cinnamon flavor to them, like cinnamon apple sauce and cinnamon apple pie with a crumb topping, that sort of stuff. These apple chips are included in the things that I enjoy snacking on that have an apple-cinnamon flavor because they …

I use to eat chocolate filled crackers even before this Voice Combo Sandwich was first introduced in the market. I consider biscuits as one of my easy to grab and eat snacks. Though they’re light, they are a big help easing my hunger during exams and long …

I bought this delicious bread roll because I wanted something to serve for breakfast and in case I have immediate guests, I can serve this to them. I don’t mind if I don’t tend to keep cookies our something crunchy to munch. Most of my guests prefer something sweet …

Recently I had the chance to try the sour dough cheeseburger from the Jack-n-the-Box chain of fast food restaurants. I’ve had a similar burger from Rally’s and Hardees in the past so I thought it sounded like something familiar and yet a little different. The burger sits in between …

Yesterday I had a fast break candy bar for the first time. The Fast Break looks like a snickers bar, but it has a layer of nougat, and then a layer of peanut butter, and then the whole thing in covered in chocolate. I had never had one before …

Peanut butter is an essential part of my life now. Lots of people swear by almond and cashew butters, which are fancier, but I love the classic peanut butter and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give it up. Powdered peanut butter is still something new to me, …

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 …

New Milka product is always a thrill for me so imagine how happy I was when I saw that two new types of Milka chocolate bars were out. I like the original milk Milka chocolate because it is delicious and it is not too sweet for my taste, so every …

My wife and I had leftover steaks last night and, since we didn’t have any sides leftover, decided to make some new ones.
One of the things we made was a bag of Birdseye Steam Fresh Vegetables; mostly because we are getting bad about not eating enough vegetables at dinner …

My family love pasta and they like to eat Bolognese pasta. And when I made my own Bolognese, I could not make it with the taste that we normally made in Europe. Maybe the tomatoes that we get here are not the same tomatoes that they have in Europe. …

I was discussing how much I love the Indian dish of Butter Chicken, and a friend, who loves to cook, told me about a sauce that is available which allows you to simply cook chicken in it and voila! You can cook a difficult and time-consuming recipe quickly, in …

I love teas! I guess there is no one that has ever tasted almost all tea variants in the whole of metro manila as me. I love teas, red tea, green tea, korean ginseng teas (not as much as i like green teas) and i also love Milk teas! …

Classic Coca-Cola is a delicious and flavorful soft drink that is, at least in my case, addicting. Just having a can of this soda elevates my spirit and enhances my level of concentration - probably a result of the caffeine in the soda. Speaking of caffeine, that is just …

The frozen dinner “Burrito Grande with Salsa” by Cedarlane is one that I find to be tasty for the most part, although I found the salsa topping to really be unremarkable in its flavor and I felt that a spicier and richer salsa could have definitely enhanced my enjoyment …

Something that we usually get for everyones birthday in my family is a Carvel Brand Ice cream cake. It’s been a tradition for over 10 years and my family just loves the cakes that they make. I’m not a big fan of ice cream and I only eat …

It was a rainy night but I still wanted some ice cream. I just had some mochi balls in the province and I wasn’t going to allow myself not to indulge on them again here in the city. I did some research and voila, there was a small café within …

Because I’m trying to cut back on soda, I have found myself drinking a lot of iced tea lately. One of the brands I buy is Lipton Brisk Iced Tea.
The Lipton Iced Tea, which can be bought in 12 ounce cans (something I prefer because it saves me from …

Ben and Jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie Chunk Ice Cream is by far the greatest ice cream ever made! I tried it for the first time earlier this year while on vacation and me and my family fell in love with it and ate all of it right away. It is …

MTR is a name of a company, which produces varieties of ready to prepare kind of recipe mixes, which are very easy to prepare. I have tried many such products of MTR Company and I have liked most of them and today I want to review one of …

I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …

When I want to buy cheap and satisfying food, I still think that nothing beats ramen. I like to eat it by itself or by enhancing it with other ingredients. One of my favorite ways to make it is to separate the noodles from the broth and add stir-fry …

“Chubby” was a Trinidadian soft drink product which came out in the nineteen nineties in Jamaica when I was about six or so years old. I guess the product was named Chubby because it was in a small stout plastic bottle, which at the time to me, made it …

Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums are basically kids’ sweets, but that doesn’t stop me from eating them sometimes! That goes double as they are really very inexpensive - a 75 gram pack costs just 39 pence, and the supermarket usually offers a “buy three for a pound” deal …

Whenever I’m having a bad hair day, a stressful time after exams week, sad and depressed about some aspects of my life, I get my comfort from the food I eat. One of my favorite comfort food is Sbarro’s Baked Ziti with white sauce, a slice of their Hawaiian …

Being in the kitchen is one of my favorite places to be, and I am always looking for ways to incorporate my family, especially my son. It was either the end of last year or the beginning of this year when I found the Jello chocolate and vanilla pudding pops …

The Friendly Farms Aerosol Whipped Light Cream comes in a seven ounce can for one dollar and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Although more whipped cream can be bought for less in a standard container, this aerosol can offers a degree of convenience that the standard container …

When I was advised by my doctor to eat oatmeal for breakfast, I remembered how tedious it was to prepare oatmeal just a few years back even though Quaker Oats already had quick-cooking oats during those times. I braced myself to waking up earlier than my usual just to …

I’m what you would call a loyal user of the brand of Betty Crocker. Usually I go for the cake mixes and hamburger helper kits but this time around I had the opportunity to their brand of Mac and cheese. I found it interesting that they would have a …

Since my eagerness to learn how to cook like a professional kicked in, I’ve been trying various types of fish. I’m not to the point where I can break one down myself, and I’m not sure I can at this point in time without passing out on the kitchen …

An outstanding way in which you can start your day is with Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This is a very classic breakfast cereal that has been around for many years. While the cereal has been around for awhile, the taste is still the same and just as good …
