Crush Soda: Grape, Strawberry and Orange
Crush Soda: Grape, Strawberry and Orange
These are all great treats. The strawberry is my favorite but I love all three flavors. I am fairly certain that I have an addiction to these drinks ha ha. They are even good when they are not ice cold. I pack em in …
Quorn 2 Crispy Fillets (vegetarian roast chicken)
If I fancy a (vegetarian) meat and vegetables type dinner I often look to the Quorn range of meat-substitute dishes and I usually like them. The last two nights I have had one of these crispy fillets - which are like fillets of roast chicken —“ and they …
Kitaro All-Sashimi Feast Party Tray
For one special occasion, my family tried Kitaro’s All Sashimi Feast Regular
offered by Kitaro Restaurant. Kitaro is a Japanese fastfood with several outlets which fortunately delivers all-year round. We were all partial to tuna and salmon sashimi, and since we were told that the regular tray has more tuna …
Yoplait Light Fat Free Yogurt
Yoplait Light Fat Free Yogurt is always a huge hit in my household. There is rarely a trip to the grocery store where I come home without it.
Most impressive to me is the huge variety of flavors that are available. There are the traditional fruity kinds like …
AmicaVedre mayonnaise
Sometimes the cheapest things are the best, well maybe not THE BEST but at lest among the best and they can go handed hand with much cheaper products of the same kind. That’s the case with AmicaVerde . I don’t eat mayonnaise very often, but sometimes I have periods …
Good Earth Decaf Green Tea Bags
My sister is always trying to get me to drink green tea. We are a relatively health-conscious family, and she loves to preach the benefits of green tea. And with everything she says, I do feel compelled to take it up —“ but the truth is, I …
Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes
What is so supreme about these Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes? The marshmallow flavor really needs some work and Little Debbie definitely needs to go back to the kitchen and re-work the recipe! Although there is some marshmallow flavor, it is no nearly rich and authentic enough to satisfy me. …
Demon Pig BBQ Sauce
This sauce is a mild sweet sauce with a hint of citrus at the end. It is not super thick, therefore it will not turn into a glob on your meat. It is also not thin enough to run off and burn up. I it adds a very nice …
7 Up Soft Drink
Even when I was just a kid, I am very fond of the 7 Up Commercial where there’s a cartoon image of a man with this soft drink. As I grow older, I have tasted almost all soft drinks and all the competitors of 7 Up just like Mountain …
Vegan chocolate in Europe
I’m a huge chocolate fan and I’ve estimated that I consume about 15 kilos of chocolate a year, which sounds insane, but it’s not that bad if you divide it by 365 days. People say there’re benefits to eating chocolate on a daily basis and I like to believe that, …
Aunt Jemima Whole Grain Pancakes
Aunt Jemima Whole Grain Pancakes are absolutely terrible! I decided to give them a try because they offer a source of whole grain, something of which is good for one’s body, but let me say, while the whole grain might be good for my body, these pancakes are not …
Special K’s Strawberry Protein Meal Bars
The Special K diet suggests that you replace two meals with either a meal bar or a bowl of cereal. If someone was to follow this diet as suggested, I have no doubt that they would lose weight. These meal bars are delicious. However, the problem …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple
I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple variety to be a little on the dull side, both inside and out. The crust is pretty bland and boring while apple inside tastes as if the flavor is not quite real. The apple flavor does not come across as being …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cinnamon Mini Donuts
I like Mrs. Freshley’s Cinnamon Mini Donuts much better than the chocolate mini-donuts. Unlike with the chocolate donuts, these donuts with cinnamon actually have a pretty tasty flavor to offer. The cinnamon flavor is plentiful and it tastes like real cinnamon, too. I suppose cinnamon is an easier flavor …
Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli Frozen Entree
I think this is a wonderful and unique frozen entrée, first of all. I love the idea of using butternut squash as a ravioli filling. With this dish, these ravioli are mixed with walnuts, peas, carrots, and cream sauce. It seemed like a wonderful mixture of tastes and textures, …
Ceres Cranberry and Kiwi Pure Fruit Juice Blend
I bought this juice drink at Spencers grocery in Inorbit and it says 100% pure fruit juice blend so I selected it for a try. I did have a brand for fruit juice but since I wanted to try and taste other brands, I got curious on Ceres.
Ceres offers …
Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix
Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix is, to me, just that — the original. This is the brand my parents used when I was growing up, and there was never a bad meal that came of it.
Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix is made of ingredients that include enriched bleached …
Encore Meijer Cola
My kids like to go grocery shopping with me. I think a big part of this is that occasionally I let them sneak something into the cart that we normally wouldn’t buy. I think another big part of it is that they like to grocery shop with me in …
Chocapic cereals
This chocolate cereals, from the company Nestle, are known as cereals for kids, but I enjoy them too even if I’m an adult.
I like their taste a lot, as they have a strong chocolate taste. When eaten with cold milk they keep crispy for a while. However, when I …
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Wine (2007)
This is a great tasting wine. I gave it to quite a few friends at a party and every single one of them said they enjoyed the taste. It’s a tasty wine, and the alcoholic and acidic content is down to a minimum - indeed, it’s probably the closest …
NY Texas Toast
Take a huge slice of french bread, addd butter, garlic and some parmesan cheese, and you’ll have NY Texas Toast. I really love this bread, it makes a wonderful snack after work. This is also a really great thing to have on hand when you’re cooking an authentic italian …
Freschetta Amore supreme (frozen pizza)
I am a true pizza connoisseur. But my tastes lie more with NY style pies than the typical pies sold in chains like Domino’s or Pizza Hut. But when I have a taste for pizza, and don’t feel like spending $20 for a restaurant pie, I …
Gorton’s Seafood Company
I’m not a person who eats a ton of fish. It used to be one of my favorite foods but it is so darn expensive when you try to buy it at the store; even fish sticks.
However, my wife and I have been eating it more often now so …
Haggen Carrot Raisin Muffin
The supermarket closest to where I work is a Haggen store, a local chain that is spreading southward and eastward from here in Bellingham where the first store is. These are excellent stores each with their own bakery so the breads, pastry and muffins are fresh daily.
This is one …
Yogi Green Tea Energy
I have been drinking Yogi Green Tea Energy for several months now and I must say I am very satisfied. The price is kind of expensive but this is because the tea contains ginseng. But even at $4.99 it is a very good price for a drink that will give …
Green Giant Broccoli & Cheese Sauce
I’m never quite satisfied when it comes to frozen broccoli. Frozen broccoli just doesn’t have the same freshness and same degree of flavor that fresh broccoli has. That being said, this frozen side from Green Giant isn’t unpalatable, it’s actually fairly decent. The broccoli is decent enough and there’s …
Cadbury Frys Peppermint Cream
When I was a girl this was known as Fry’s Peppermint Cream but it is now owned by Cadbury. This chocolate bar keeps a low profile nowadays but when I was young it was advertised on television as a slim, dark and sophisticated chocolate bar, like the lady …
Kellogg’s All-Bran Apple Cinnamon Streusel Fiber Bar
I purchase these fiber bars once and awhile. I would purchase them more often, but honestly, the apple and cinnamon flavor is not all that terrific or incredible. I mean, both flavors are noticeable and what flavor that is there is quite good, but there just is not enough …
Skinnygirl California Red Blend Wine
I’ve been a fan of Bethenny Frankel’s sarcastic humor since I first saw her on The Real Housewives of New York. It was there she created a low calorie margarita and decided to offer it to the public. The Skinnygirl margarita came first and was the only margarita on …
Snickers Creme Hearts
I don’t recall seeing Snickers Creme Hearts in years past so it may be a new item for the 2010 Valentine’s Day celebration. These small one-ounce treats come in a red package which actually shows what the candy will like out though it’s a conceptual image and not …
Percol Instant Hot Chocolate
I have had a craze on instant hot chocolate lately and I have tried lots of different brands, but this is by far the nicest, by the brand name Percol. Actually it is really gorgeous. I bought a sachet of Percol from Tesco for about 30 pence …
Hannaford Cola Drinks
So, last week we were in our local grocery store and my notice the brand named cola drinks were way more than we wanted to pay. So, instead we decide to try the Hannaford Cola and it tasted pretty good. It was less money and taste just like cola …
Snapps Creamy Golden Mushroom Bites
Snapps creamy golden mushroom bites are a snack/appetizer I purchased at super Wal-Mart because it was on sale. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, however, I do like a good mushroom bite. This product was one of two Snapps appetizers/snacks that I purchased.
I’m not going to lie, the mushroom …
Yuban Premium Coffee Dark Roast
I am a coffee lover, or I should say fanatic, and cannot live without the stuff. My preferred brands are Folgers and Yuban, but sometimes I will buy the bargain brand if I’m low on money. On a recent shopping trip, I thought I had found a really great …
Arizona Iced Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey
Nothing is more satisfying to me on a hot day to quench my thirst than a tall can of cold Arizona Iced Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey. I’m sure you’ve seen the big green can at the store before, and if you are wondering how it tastes …
Pascual Funciona Tropical
The first time I heard about a drink that combines juice and milk I felt sceptical about it. Since I was a kid I was always told not to mix juice and milk. However, one day a friend treated me to one, and I decided to try it.
This product …
Fruit Pebbles cereal
Fruity Pebbles. They’re one of those things you never really think to say “Hey, there should definitely be a review on this”. However, that thought process only lasts up until your first bowl. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Fruity Pebbles are the …
Lee Kum Kee Chinese Soy Sauce
I had tasted my mother-in-law’s cooking and I asked what sauce she has used for her beef steak dish, I was so surprised when she said she had only used Lee Kum Kee soy sauce, which was actually a Chinese condiment, thus I also bought this and thought that …
Wilkins Distilled Drinking Water
I like Wilkins Distilled Drinking Water. It tastes so clean and fresh and it is truly refreshing when cold. I use this as my baby’s drinking water. Ever since she was born, this was the water she already uses for her milk. I can easily purchase a gallon of …
Fit & Active Sour Cream & Onion Cracker Crisps
Fit & Active Sour Cream & Onion Cracker Crisps come in a four point four ounce package and retail for one dollar and thirty-nine cents. Upon trying these cracker crisps, I came to the conclusion that, while tasty and pleasant, they aren’t a good value. The package they come …
Tootsie Roll
When it comes to long lasting snacks, and by that I mean a company that has been around for what is a personal ‘forever’, Tootsie Roll is right there. It was a standard candy throughout my childhood, it was a snack as a teenager, it was a treat …
Chewable Jolly Rancher Candy
I have a major sweet tooth, and it always seems to be craving something infused with fruit flavors. Jolly Ranchers have always been a candy that I loved, however the hard coating was hard on my teeth and making it a somewhat un-enjoyable experience. While standing in line one …
Cheetos Cheddar Jalapeno
I’ve always enjoyed Cheetos and whenever I have the case of the munchies, it never fails to satisfy me. I also have this thing for Jalapeno peppers and when I discovered Cheetos Cheddar Jalapeno at the local grocery, I couldn’t wait to try it out!
I’ve always loved Cheetos …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Chocolate
Although I am normally not overly crazy when it comes to chocolate, Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Chocolate is really a terrific taste sensation. The chocolate flavor is quite rich and authentic, and the ice cream itself is fairly creamy! I like to add hot fudge on top …
Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker: Cheese
Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker is a pizza kit I decided to try one evening with one of my younger relatives. I’ve never heard of such a thing from Chef Boyardee until coming over to my grandma’s house. The thought of it was kind of weird because I’m used …
Sobe Life Water
Sobe Life Water is a big joke as far as I’m concerned. I mean, the bottle is pretty, and the advertisements are appealing, but come on! It is an insult to our intelligence to pay that much money for water that tastes like it has some strange …
Haggen Bran Muffin
For those of us who are of a certain age, getting enough fiber can be problematic. Our local Haggen store has a delicious Bran and Raisin muffing that has lots of flavor and lots of fiber.
Besides the much appreciated fiber, these muffins can, with a cup of the mandatory …
Kroger Value Beef Patties
Kroger Value Beef Patties are alright, although I do find them to be a little more fatty than other pre-shaped beef patties that I have purchased before. The beef patties do have a pretty decent flavor to them and when I make hamburgers out of them, I am generally …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
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.
Del Monte …
