Tostitos Scoops! Hint of Jalapeno Tortilla Chips
Tostitos Scoops! Hint of Jalapeno Tortilla Chips come in a nine point five ounce bag and retail for around three dollars a bag. I like these tortilla chips for a couple of reasons. First of all, I personally think these tortilla chips are delightfully hot! I was fooled into …
McDonald’s Iced Coffee
I really liked the Iced Coffee from McDonald’s I bought some the other day, and now I enjoy drinking a cup just about every afternoon. The coffee is strong, yet very tasty. It’s very refreshing and does cool you down. McDonald’s Iced Coffee really does make you feel good, …
Florida’s Natural Premium Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice
Grapefruit is a fruit that’s delicious sweet and very nutritious, and grapefruit is also something that can be eaten when on a diet, so it’s good for weight-control too. I have to say though, I haven’t touched another actual grapefruit since I tried this grapefruit juice from Florida’s Natural …
Springbank Cheese Company
This weekend, I finally visited one of the places I have been wanting to see for some time now, the Springbank Cheese Company. It is advertised as one of Calgary’s premier cheese stores, and as cheese is one of the highlights of my life, I was looking forward to it. …
Knorr Pasta Sides Cheesy Bacon Macaroni
I was a little disappointed with this Pasta Sides creation. I found the bacon bits to be lacking in flavor and thus they pretty much went unnoticed by me as I ate the macaroni side. The rich and gooey cheese that coated the macaroni pretty much wiped out what …
Valley View Garlic Mashed Potatoes
We had steak last night and, to go with it, made some garlic mashed potatoes from the brand Valley View; a brand I believe we ended up buying at our local Aldi store or some other discount grocer.
I have had other products from Valley View with some mixed results …
Reed’s Crystallized Ginger Candy
I absolutely love this candy. I found this a while a go from an Asian grocery store and decided to try it because to me it looked like one of the appealing preserved food items in the area where it was kept which also had other preserved fruits such …
Al Mawakeb Nuts mixture
I tasted Al Mawakeb Nuts, mixture. It is really tasty. This is a good evening time snack. Impressive feature is that it is fresh and crispy. It contains all the ingredients like besan, pea nuts, green peas, chilly powder, curry leaves, spices etc,etc in good ratio that gives an …
Smucker’s Cider Apple Butter
Smucker’s Cider Apple Butter is simply delightful in both flavor and texture. It is, I think, my favorite flavor to spread on top of toast and bagels. The cider apple butter is quite rich and delicious in flavor, and the butter part not only gives the spread some additional …
Charles Peanut Gems
Another guilty pleasure of mine is buying “Charles Peanut Gems” whenever I can find them. These are chocolate covered peanuts that have a candy coating. In a sense they remind me of a cheaper, more Caribbean brand of M&Ms since it have blue, yellow, green brown and red chocolate …
Atlas Natural Salmon Eggs
After several years of fishing, mainly unsuccessfully, in almost every river, lake, creek, pond and even ocean in the Northwest US and Southwest Canada, I decided to try something I had always regarding as —˜cheating.’ On my next visit to my local fishing store, I purchased salmon eggs to put …
Skyflakes Crackers
I always keep skyflakes crackers in my bag and in my locker at work. This is because I can’t tell when I’m going to need to eat, especially that I work in inconvenient hours. I also could not detect when I’m going to be stuck in a traffic, and …
Seeds Of Change Certified Organic Seven Whole Grains
Seeds Of Change Certified Organic Seven Whole Grains was a product I decided to give a try after spotting it while shopping in my neighborhood Aldi. I have tried Microwaveable ready to eat packages from Seeds of Change before and had a good experience. So you can imagine …
Knorr soups
I have been a fan of Knorr soups as they are easy to make and my family loves the soups. The soup powder comes in a 52 g pack and is produced by Hindustan Lever Ltd in India. It is very easy to make the soup from the powder …
Tesco Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …
Skittles
I hadn’t had Skittles in a while; probably a good three or four years. I remember eating a ton of them back in the day. I couldn’t “taste the rainbow” enough, I guess, and when I did, I’d find myself riding quite a sugar high, followed by the inevitable …
Cool Ranch Doritos
While visiting the U.S.A. recently, I noticed there was a much wider variety of Doritos available in stores over there than back home in Australia. Some of these flavours I’d never heard of before like Spicy Nacho, Tangy Cheese, Fiery Habanero and Ranchero as well as many …
Jack in the Box: Sourdough Jack Sandwich
Over the past year, I’ve often enjoyed the Sourdough Jack Sandwich which is part of the Jack in the Box fast food menu. I figured it was about time to review the food product here. Sometimes I hesitate to do reviews for fast food items because they …
Fanta soda
When the brand of soda Fanta became popular a couple years ago, I was interested in trying it because I had heard a couple people say that it tasted pretty good. I think it might have come out around the time that D&G, what used to be the major …
Kurkure (Indian ready to eat snack)
Kureure is an Indian ready to eat snack which is very light to eat and very tasty. It is very spicy. Kurkure comes in many flavours, some of them are very spicy and some of them are normal, buy all the flavours are good. I just …
Liking Nut Brittle with peanuts
I adore Nut Brittle but not all of them, those with peanuts are usually very good but sometimes they are too sweet and even plastic sometime.
Nut Brittles are usually made of honey, sugar, white of the egg. Some of them taste a lot like honey while the others taste …
Marshmallow Pickled Head by Frankford Candy Company
I’m always on the look out for new sweet treats to try. We decided to forgo trick or treating for our little one this year and decided simply to buy her candy instead, but we wanted to find something a little bit different, and what I discovered a Marshmallow …

If you want an absolutely delicious, simple and quick meal for you and your family then you need to try Bertolli’s Chicken Parmigiana & Penne Pasta skillet meal! This truly tastes like a restaurant quality meal that you can have ready in minutes!
This meal can be found in …
Pataks Curry Sauces
I do enjoy a curry, I like to cook them and I like to go out and have one as well but if I did that all the time then I would be out of pocket and probably very overweight. I suppose this is why it’s so great that …
Yellow Cab’s Manhattan Meatlovers Pizza
When it comes to pizza, Yellow Cab has a very high reputation and many people love it. I am not a pizza addict but I love eating pizza during small gatherings. One time, my boss ordered two boxes of Yellow Cab Pizza for us. We all enjoyed the Manhattan …
Kirkwood Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites
The Kirkwood Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites come in a twenty-five point five ounce bag and sell for a little under six dollars. Although I found this product to be halfway decent, I wasn’t impressed with it enough to consider buying another bag after I finished my first bag. One …
Accent All Natural Flavor - additive for seasoning foods
As a native Southerner, I enjoy a variety of food including soul food, Gullah food and Jamaican food. I find it hard to resist any dish that’s salty and spicy to my palette. However, because of my family’s history with diabetes I’ve had to eliminate salt from my …
Maine Goodies Humpty Dumpty All Dressed Chips
Maine Goodies Humpty Dumpty All Dressed Chips consist of a peculiar combination: vinegar and barbecue. I suppose it should not surprise me that the combination is odd with a product that sports such an odd name. I have never had a chip that merged both vinegar and barbecue together …
Kraft Finely Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
My family has long used Kraft cheese products, but recently, we tried some other brands. They were cheaper and made a lot of the same claims as this item. Having used these alternatives, though, leads me to the conclusion that this specific product, Kraft Finely Shredded Mozzarella …
San Mig Coffee
San Mig Coffee has 4 flavors (Mild, Strong, Extra Strong and Original) offered to coffee lovers. Contrary to the more famous instant coffee choice, Nescafe is more aromatic than the San Mig Coffee. I believe what makes a coffee enticing is the smell it leaves around you, the smell …
Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet
Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet would be pretty bland if not for the toppings that are found on the pork cutlet. The pork cutlet itself is really pretty tasteless and dull, although it is fairly tender, so at least that is a plus. The toppings that I am referring to is …
Maggi Tangy Tomato Vegetable Soup
Our family usualy dines out on special occassions. As it is common with everyone, we always start with soup and our first choice is tomato soup. During one of those dinners, we gave tomato soup for taste to my 3 year old daughter. She liked it very …
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 …
Raley’s Fine Foods Brown and Serve Rolls
I love good bread, and while this isn’t the best out there, Raley’s Fine Foods Brown and Serve Rolls is definitely an inexpensive choice that satisfies.
These days, I have to weigh every penny I spend. When looking for rolls, there are many options available. I’ve found, though, …
Jimmy Dean’s D-Lights turkey sausage sandwich
I have been looking for quick and easy foods to make for breakfast. I like sausage sandwiches, but I don’t eat pork. I do like turkey sausage. So, I was delighted when I saw a commercial for Jimmy Dean’s D-Lights. I found one of …
Johnny’s French Dip Au Jus Sauce
My husband truly enjoys french dip sandwiches and I often make them for him at home. The keys to a good french dip are very simple. You need good quality meat, a fresh bun and a good dip sauce. The dip sauce is very important because …
Sonny Cappuccino
I have 5 different discounts near my house and that actually means that I rarely buy stuff that isn’t on discount, that was the case with Sonny Cappuccino too. I saw that 350g of this cappuccino cost only 1,95 Euro, on discount of course, although usually I pay that …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt
You might not know it but one of the things that should be on your table every morning is a cup of yogurt. This allows proper digestion. Before I don’t listen to this health advice. I cannot stand the taste of yogurt. It makes me sick, it induces me …
Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake
Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake disappointed me because I really enjoy cheese, and I expected this dinner to be quite cheesy and offer a rich cheese flavor. Unfortunately, this meal did not live up to my expectations. While I could certainly taste both the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, I did …
Panera Asiago Roast Beef Signature Sandwich
I have never had a truly delicious roast beef sandwich. When you say roast beef sandwich to other people, their mouths start to water like Pavlov’s dog; obviously, those people has had good roast beef in their day. As for me, roast beef reminds me of my …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Selecta has done it again. With this new flavor, they have created another “supreme”.
Chocolate ice cream and almonds is already a good combination. The texture produced by the nuts makes eating more enjoyable. They are also of the right bite-size so you won’t miss it. With the fudge added, …
Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownie Mix
My sister-in-law and I were trying a couple of brownie mixes, and we had already tried Betty Crocker’s Hershey’s Supreme Brownie Mix with Walnuts, and they were the most delicious fudge walnut brownies I have tasted in my life and get this —“they’re only a mix and that delicious …
Otis Spunkmeyer Gourmet Cookie Dough
My family enjoys the taste of homemade cookies. Our family loves either peanut butter or chocolate chip. With my work schedule and so much to do over the weekends, I really do not have a lot of time to spend on baking homemade cookies from scratch. …
Roland Couscous
There are a lot of different companies out there who make couscous. The food, mostly eaten in African countries, is largely made of little grains that when cooked properly with the right ingredients, can be very delicious. The problem is that if you don’t buy the right kind of …
Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Milk Chocolate Frosting
Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Milk Chocolate Frosting is a brand and variety I tend to buy from time to time. So often, cake mixes and frostings are too expensive, so I tend to buy a brand when its on sale. What is interesting to me is that most …
Captain’s Bakery Twist Donuts
I can’t honestly say that I’m a fan of most of the pastries that come from the different branches of Captain’s Bakery, but for some reason when my mother bought a twist donut from the bakery for me to eat for lunch, I expected more. It wasn’t that the …
Milka Tripple Choco Cocoa, chocolate bar
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 …
