Breakfast is complete if you have pancakes for the kids. I also like having pancake for breakfast because it is a good choice instead of going for eating old-fashioned bread. I like wheat bread or oven fresh sliced white bread with cream jelly but nothing can top a freshly …

Because I’ve had some success with Jennie-O products in the past, I decided to try their Turkey Parmesan meal which is prepared under the ‘So Easy’ moniker variety. I knew it would be a 50/50 shot as to whether or not I’d like it because while some foods …

Let’s start off by saying that I am a picky, very picky eater. I seldom try new foods when they show up on the store shelf. I like my tried and true foods that I have eaten for years. The only reason that I tried these was because my …

French Fries at the Jack in the Box are the worst I have ever had. When I had it first at a Los Angeles Jack in the Box location, I thought it is only about that store. But when I had it in other locations I confirmed that the …

I like smorz, but honestly, this cereal just cannot measure up to the real thing. Oh, it is good cereal, do not get me wrong, but I think those that enjoy smorz will taste the difference and the difference is a little disappointing. The marshmallow and chocolate flavor are …

Great Value White Sandwich Bread is the Wal-Mart brand. It’s from 99 cents to $1.10 per loaf for a twenty-four ounce loaf. Being on a budget I always attempt to buy generics and the brands that are on sale. Well, sometimes I have to spend a little bit more …

Product Description: Bag of pre-popped popcorn with aged cheddar cheese. Available at Walgreens for around $3.
What I liked about this product: For one, the popcorn was much fresher than I expected popcorn from a pre-packaged bag to be. I bought this expecting it to be very stale and it …

These chips really didn’t do much for me. I was quite excited when I purchased them because I love both mozzarella and seasoned marinara sauce, but I can’t say that either the aroma or the taste reminded me of mozzarella sticks or marinara sauce. There was some cheese flavoring …

The Cafe Blend Coffee served at Chick-fil-A comes in three flavors: Coffeehouse Light, Bistro Dark and Expressly Decaf.

Kellogg’s Cinnabon Bars are ready to eat or …

One thing that I definitely love is chocolate especially sometimes when I’m having one of those cravings for something sweet. However, what dampens the mood each time is that I can’t seem to stomach things that are “too sweet”. Therefore, I usually end up eating certain brands of chocolate …

i purchased this butter made by Wabash Valley Farms because I wasn’t satisfied with the butter flavored microwavable popcorn brands sold in the grocery stores. Even those packages that claimed “extra butter” or movie theater butter” failed to impress me. I figured I’d give butter toppings a try to …

I am not a big drinker, but when I do decide to indulge in something alcoholic, I look for something that is fruity and the taste of alcohol is very little. Arbor Mist has always been my go to drink for Sunday dinners with the family, or when I …

Herrlunga GlOGG is sold by Ikea. For those of you who don’t know Glogg or Grogg is a traditional Swedish beverage. It is a spicy drink. I think the Grogg is the alcohol drink and the GLOGG is the base mixture. It is delicious.
I bought this GLOGG at IKEA …

Along with the Banana Creme and Strawberry varieties produced by Yoplait, the French Vanilla variety is among my favorites. Vanilla, in general, I love, especially in the form of ice cream, but it is very tasty in yogurt too, as this product proves. Every spoonful is rich in French …

A couple days ago, I was in the mood for a meatball sub. Normally, I get these at Subway but Cousin’s was on the way home so I stopped their instead.
It was OK, but I think I still prefer Subway’s version.
I’m a huge Cousin’s fan, mostly because they do …

Compared with “regular” ranch salad dressing, the Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing has fewer calories and significantly less fat. It’s not devoid of either, but it has fewer of both for those that are watching just how many calories and how much fat they consume but still want to …

Francisco Breads are another tasty option for great breads. It’s a product my family has enjoyed for a number of years. Like one of its biggest competitors, Colombo, it’s never let us down. It’s been fresh, delicious, and great tasting every single time.
What is unique about …

In my search for a quick snack after work while everyone is asleep, I came across a small siopao store. The only one in the whole commercial strip near our place that has their lights on, with a sign board saying “Open 24 Hours”. I feel relieved, although I …

However, I had a chance to pop …

Spices such as garlic and onion add and bring out the flavor of the ingredients. In some Philippine cuisine, spices wouldn’t suffice; soy sauce is needed to complement the taste of the food. Our family has relied to Datu Puti Soy Sauce as far as I can remember. Since …

I have tried different kinds of apple liquor, but the one that Granpomier produces is one of my favourites.
The bad thing is the price, as it is also one of the most expensive ones.
This is a soft liquor, as it contains a 20% of alcohol. Because it is not …

I’m the kind of person who likes her hot dogs pure: hot dog, bun, and just a dash of traditional mustard. No fancy mustards, no dijons, and definitely nothing with honey. For years French’s mustard suited me just fine.
But I’m also a person who likes a bargain, so when …

Ice cream, one of those treats you can’t do without in the summer time and when at parties we all love ice cream cones! A popular brand of ice cream cone in my country is called Happy Time! and surprisingly, it isn’t a waffle one but rather one of …

The first time I tried a Two-Bite product, it was for brownies. I liked the product quite a lot originally, but I later became a tad disenchanted. They proved to dry out quicker than I’d like. Even so, I thought I’d try the Two-Bite Homestyle Chocolate …

Today, I purchased Meyer Lemon Gourmet Cake Mix for the first time. I hate to admit it, but it was the visual appearance of the box that caught my attention. I had no intention of purchasing a cake mix when I entered the store but this mix looked too …

This is one of my favorite milk chocolates. I usually patronize dark chocolates before and even now but it made me change my mind. Occasionally I have to eat milk chocolate but I easily surrender because of diet and the taste. I find milk chocolates sometimes too sweet. I …

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 …

I can not help it. I am a Sweet N Low fan. Prior to the invention of Splenda, and Equal, Sweet N Low was the only noncaloric sweetner around. While it does leave a strong after taste that generally doesn’t appeal to people who tend to …

Nissin Cup noodles are rally one of the best instant noodles in the market; a small cup is about 7 pesos more than the packed instant noodles; at least I don’t have to look for a container where I can cook the noodles with. Nissin Cup Noodles have chicken …

I wouldn’t call myself a health guru, but I do like my fair share of yogurt. There was a time I was eating a variety of yogurts; I pretty much have cut a majority of them from my shopping list, and every since I realized I could get more …

On a rainy day there is nothing like sipping on a hot cup of Masala Chai (Indian Spiced Tea) with some savory snacks like Samosas (Vegetable stuffed fried snack) or Pakoras (spicy fritters). It is the most awesome feeling.

Whenever I shop for pot pies, I try to balance quality with price. I want something that is filling and tastes great. But, I also hate spending more than a $1 each on them.
