Oroweat Country Potato Bread

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 …

Poppies Belgian Mini Eclairs
I like eclairs, and one of my recent discoveries in that department is Poppies Belgian Mini Eclairs. A plastic box containing about 30 small, half-a-finger size eclairs costs $3.98. The eclairs are sold frozen, and they must be kept that way. When you want to use them, you just …

Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Chocolate Chip Muffin
Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Chocolate Chip Muffins turned out to be a disappointment. I thought that perhaps these chocolate chip muffins would be a little more moist than the regular calorie counterpart, but these turned out to be just as dry. I do not like dry muffins because …
Kroger Party Cakes Chocolate Cake with Swiss Chocolate Icing
The Kroger Party Cakes Chocolate Cake with Swiss Chocolate Icing is a bakery item sold only at Kroger grocery stores. This is a product that’s made in the store and put out in the bakery section, but not all Kroger locations may have this item. One party cake costs …
Cream O Cookies
Ever since I was in college, the food that stops away my hunger is Cream O. I always buy one pack for PHP 5.00. I believe PHP 1.00 increased the price at present so it is now PHP 6.00. This kind of cookies gives you a different enjoyment because …
Jewel Brand Ginger Ale
Sometimes generic or store-brand products are just as good, if not better, than the big name brands. This is the case with Jewel brand Ginger Ale, which is sold at all Jewel-Osco grocery stores in both two-liter bottles and 12-packs. Just yesterday, I compared the price os …
Cadburys Flake Chocolate bar
Cadburys do make the most delicious chocolate and this is one of my favourites. It comes in a lovely yellow wrapper but you must be careful when you open it. Due to the fact that the chocolate is very brittle and flaky where its name comes from it is …
Special k cereal fruit and yogurt

Nature’s Path Organic Chia Plus Coconut Chia Granola Cereal
I purchased a box of Nature’s Path Organic Coconut Chia Granola Cereal from my neighborhood Aldis for $2.79. As a lover of all things crunchy and granola, I was excited to give this granola a try.
The idea of getting whole grains, AlA Omega 3’s, and fiber all in one …
Chick-fil-A Side Salad
The Side Salad at Chick-fil-A is a great option for those that simply would like a decent sized salad to go with their sandwich and not a large salad with chicken in it. The side salad is just that: something that is meant to be eaten with something, while …
Lurpak Butter
Lurpak is an excellent butter, the taste of which I have been familiar with all my life as my mum used to put Lurpak on our jacket potatoes. She did believe in getting good butter in. Lately, I have stopped buying these spreads and ‘like butter but …
McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives
McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives are a national treasure which has lasted since I was a boy, if not before. When I was recently in Spain, I bought the local make of chocolate biscuits. I thought I had bought something that would be a delight to the taste-buds and which would …
Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee Mix Instant Coffee Regular
I always have to have my coffee fix regardless of the time of day. If I do not, then I become weak and tired. I think I have a caffeine addiction already!
So during one of my trips in the supermarket, I saw the Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee …
Udi’s gluten free bread
Several years ago we found out that our son has wheat AND dairy allergies. We had to find a bread that he could eat. Like most kids he lives on peanut butter and jelly (believe it or not he is not allergic to peanut butter). After trying several different …
ChocoLava Chocolate Drink
This product really gets a chuckle out of me. Why? It is because this is being endorsed by our local artist named John Lloyd Cruz with a tag line: “No more kid stuff for me.” That is really funny because this ChocoLava instant 3-in-1 chocolate drink is nothing but …
Nissin sea foods cup noodles
I loved eating noodles and it is a usual breakfast for me and even midnight snack. But some times due to a lot of work I have no time in cooking some instant noodles that needs to cook at stove.
Good thing, this instant cup noodles of Nissin was introduced …
Betty Crocker - Peanut Butter Brownies
Betty Crocker - Peanut Butter Brownies did not turn out to be as tasty as I expected them to be. I really felt that there was very little chance I would be disappointed with this mix because I am typically very satisfied with Betty Crocker products. This time, however, …
Teddy Grahams Honey
I like honey on a lot of things. Chicken, fries and biscuits, for example. I don’t, however, like these honey Teddy Grahams too much. It’s disappointing, really, as I know I’d like these Teddy Grahams if just more honey was used. Unlike the other flavors Teddy Grahams come in, …
Borbello 4 Meat Pizza
I wrote before that I tried pizzas from the brand Borbello and liked them. Since they were still on sale, I decided to pick up a couple different varieties to give them a try. Since they didn’t have the Hawaiian pizza my wife wanted to try, I ended up …
Eggo Buttermilk Waffles
When it comes to pancakes I’m an occasional eater, but when it comes to waffles I can get them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is nothing better than a fresh waffle coming out of the oven–that’s how I like to heat mine–with pockets filled to the rim with …
Lucky Me Instant Noodles Beef Flavor
From eating other viands, I sometimes miss to eat instant noodles. Before pancit canton was out in the market, my real favorite is Instant Noodles. This is popular food during cold weather in my country. Many middle level or poor level of life have instant noodles as a viand …
Yoplait Key Lime Pie
Yoplait Key Lime Pie is not among my favorites when it comes to yogurt and I seldom purchase this flavor variety because I simply do not think the lime flavor is as rich as it could be and thus I do not enjoy it as much as I could …
Magnolia Caramel Cheesecake Ice Cream
Summer is here and I could definitely feel the burn of the scorching sun. Because of this, I have succumbed to the calls of the ice cream calling me. It is now the season to give in to the call of ice cream and just forget about the diet. …
Sprite Soda
So when we run out of juice drink in the fridge, our alternative to it is to buy Sprite Soda. I must say, that in preparing lunch and dinner,drinking soda or a juice drink is a good match.I can’t live without it. Hence, in choosing what soda to partner …

Breyers –all natural icecream is my favorite icecream.This is available in a 1.66 litre pack.The physical shape of the pack is also appealing.Though you get different flavors but most of the icecreams will be having either choclate or vanilla.But this has combination of both of my favorite ie …
Margherita Pizza: Amy’s Meal Pizzas
I love almost all of the pizzas in Amy’s Meal Pizza line but one or two. One of the ones that I hate is the Margherita Pizza. That is two bad because it is one of the low calorie pizzas in there line with only 260 calories for two …
Old El Paso Heat & Serve Rice
Heat & serve rice is the kind that comes in the plastic “bag” that you can rip the top, put it right in the microwave & 90 seconds later have hot, fluffy rice. I have used other brands in the past and loved them - they can be …
Velveeta Cheese Sauce Box Packets
The first time I ever had cheese sauce on anything was when I was in high school doing a fundraiser for student government. I was in charge of the hot dog and nachos stand, and I found myself eating more of the cheese sauce than I was serving.
I …
Homemade Hidden Valley Ranch
You aren’t going to believe it, but I think I’m the only person on the face of the planet that had never tried this stuff. A co-worker of mine was recently talking about how she has to water it down because it’s too thick for her. I immediately thought, …
McDonalds McCafe Frappe
Some days, when I feel like I’ve been constantly on the go and there is no promise of a break anytime in the near future, I need a little pick me up. Something that will keep me going, taste delicious and not burn a hole in my wallet. My …
Wendy’s - Spicy Chicken Go Wrap
Wendy’s - Spicy Chicken Go Wrap is indeed spicy! This wrap is a bit too hot for my taste buds. Admittedly, I am not a big fan of hot and spicy foods, although I am not against trying a hot and spicy food if it sounds like it might …
Sliced Smoked Nova Salmon
I guess one has to be accustomed to cold smoked fish in order to appreciate Sliced Smoked Nova Salmon. My husband obviously isn’t, he refused even to try it when I had purchased this small 3 oz pack. He took one look at it and said, “Blah, sushi.” I, …
Instant Fish Cracker
Instant Fish Cracker is made of fresh fish and flour. This is the junk food I like most. Though I like to eat fish cracker very much, but I am always lazy to fry it. It is consumable time process until I found this instant fish …
Gilbey’s Vodka
I like to drink Gilbey’s Vodka a lot. This brand of vodka is very good and and at a cheap price. Now Gilbey’s Vodka is not as high quality as other brand of vodka but it’s still good. The thing about this vodka is that it does get you buzzed. …
Hunts Tomato Sauce
Every Saturday night for years and years, my family enjoyed spaghetti. As a rule, we made a simple version with a basic tomato sauce to which we added spaghetti sauce seasoning, or maybe some other spices of choice. Our preferred product was actually Del Monte Tomato Sauce. …
Lean Cuisine Philly-Style Steak and Cheese Panini
I couldn’t resist trying this frozen panini when I saw it in the supermarket. I’ve never had an actual Philly cheese steak, but I’ve always wanted to try one, and I thought this might be the closest I could come for a while.
This panini takes steak and combines …
Mehari’s cigars
One of the fields the Dutch have had a lead in for centuries is in tobacco products. I went to a school founded on the fortune made by a man who went to Holland to work in that business and who invested his riches in a school he founded …
Hershey’s 100 Calorie Crisp Wafer Bar
Everywhere you look, there seems to be some type of 100 calorie snack or snack pack around on the store shelves. I’ve tried a lot of these over the years and there are a few I like and a few that I don’t. Hershey’s has started making a couple …
Kellogg’s Fruit Harvest Cereal - Strawberry Blueberry
What an incredibly delicious mix of strawberries and blueberries! In the past, I have only had cereals that contained one berry - but now that I have tasted this one, one berry cereals will now forever seem boring and lacking! Contained in this box is a large quantity of …
Knorr Beef Noodle Soup
It’s my first time to eat Knorr Beef Noodle Soup. It’s an easy to cook noodle soup that I saw in the grocery store. Soup is perfect when it’s cold and it’s raining.
Knorr Beef Noodle Soup has a different kind of noodle. It’s not long. It’s small and …
Frey’s Classique Mini Chocolates
After travelling abroad, I was looking for chocolates in the Duty Free shop and wanted to see if I could get good Swiss chocolates to bring home. As I was browsing through the chocolate candies, I saw this pack of Switzerland Frey’s Classique Mini Chocolates. It comes in three …
Marie Callendar’s Frozen Dinners
One of my favorite TV dinner brands is Marie Callendar’s. This is going to sound weird, but these dinners don’t really taste like TV dinners, for the most part. Just because they go in the microwave doesn’t automatically make them bad. These dinners have a homestyle taste that I …
Bird’s Eye Voila: Garlic Chicken
The Bird’s Eye Voila garlic chicken is another bag meal by Bird’s Eye that I had the opportunity to try recently. They were on sale and the garlic chicken was one of the Bird’s Eye Voila meals that I have not tried yet, so I purchased one bag.
The thing …
