NIPS chocolate parfait candies
Nips Chocolate Parfait 30 calorie candies!
Finally, a candy that does not include 160,523,794 calories per piece! Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit but honestly. Most regular candy will cost you an arm and a leg in the daily calorie department just by eating one piece. …
Asian Noodle Stir Fry: Amy’s Frozen Dinner
The Asian Noodle Stir Fry is not one of my favorite dishes by Amy’s Meals. The portion is to small and it does not fill me up. To me this makes it a bad meal because it is 300 calories. I do not like that because I would …
Silk (Soy Milk)
I’m not a vegan, so when I first heard about Silk Soy Milk I didn’t put too much thought into trying it. All I knew was that the commercials showing people drinking it like it was the most delicious thing in the world were pretty tempting. To be honest, …
Dunkin Donuts Bavarian Kreme Donuts
Dunkin Donuts is my old time favorite donuts since I was a childhood. I remember when I am just small kid I always told my mother to bring me assorted Dunkin Donuts. I loved it since they made this Donut totally different from others, its not too sweet and …
Maltesers
Maltesers, lovely balls of chocolate and almost perfectly made for women and children. Very similar to Kitkat in away, only this time you do not have sticks of biscuit covered in chocolate, you have have a lighter biscuit that is in the shape of a ball. As much as …
New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps
New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps excel when it comes to the raisin portion of the bagel crisp but fall short in terms of cinnamon seasoning. For each bagel crisp, which is admittedly fairly small, a good number of raisins are crammed in. The raisins are tasty …
Naked Protein Zone Juice
I am a BIG fan of Naked juices. They are, by far, the best fruit juices on the market. I drink at least two a day and have tried every kind they have. They are all natural and contain no preservatives and, unlike many of the …
Kiss Multigrain Enriched Bread
Kiss Multi Grain Enriched Bread is surprisingly a very light bread considering it is supposed to be multi-grained. I got to admit I do like it but I have to eat an extra slice to in my sandwiches to feel filled up. The bread has “cracked” oats on the …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish
I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …
Smart Ones - Three Cheese Ziti Marinara
The Smart Ones - Three Cheese Ziti Marinara is one of my favorite semi-healthy frozen meal lunches. You can usually find it in the grocery store for under $2.00 and it is on sale quite often. Also, there are a lot of coupons floating around for Smart …

ACT II Popcorn
Let me start out by saying Act II microwavable popcorn isn’t normally our brand of choice. When it comes to popcorn, Pop Secret still remains my brand of choice. However, when we were traveling recently, the Act II was the only brand we could find on the road so …
L’Oven White Bread
I picked up bread the other day thinking we didn’t have any at home. But, as it turns out, my wife convinced my parents to pick up some groceries for us since they were at the store anyway and she didn’t want to go out in the cold with …
Morton’s Sea Salt (Coarse Salt)
I love salty food, and I buy a lot of different salts. This is one, though, that I have found isn’t that great on the food after it is prepared. The only exception is for pretzels. It really is great for those. For other foods, …
Walmart Great Value - Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
There are a couple of companies that sell frozen cinnamon French Toast sticks, like Farm Rich and Aunt Jemima, but with those companies, I am paying for the name as well as the advertising and design that went into promoting the French Toast. With Walmart’s Great Value brand, I …
Sarsi Drink
I loved drinking carbonated drink but since I don’t like to much strong I prefer taking root beer. But when I tasted Sarsi that is like a root beer, I switch on this beverage.
Sarsi has been in the market for many years, I never expected that this affordable soft …
Kroger bagels are Yummy for Breakfast
I really like the fresh blueberry bagels from my local Kroger bakery. They are just the right combination of soft and chewy.
The reason they are so good is that I can eat them straight from the package or toast them with a little butter. Since mornings are always so …
French Fries from Wendy’s
Today I ate lunch at Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburger Restaurant and my lunch included French fries. I’ve always loved French fries so eating at a fast food restaurant that serves them is a plus. While not the absolute best French fries around (McDonald’s is the best tasting), the ones …
The Co operative Belgian Chocolate Eclairs
These Belgian Chocolate Eclair’s from the Co-operative’s own brand are absolutely delicious and you can buy a box of six for only about £1. These eclairs are on the small side at only about six inches long and a couple of inches wide but they make a pleasant …
Marie Callender’s Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce
I’ve reviewed several meals from this company before and have recently tried a new one that I’d like to share. I wasn’t totally sure about Marie Callender’s Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce for a couple of big reasons. The first is that I don’t like mushroom anything. …
Ben and Jerry’s Vanilla Caramel Fudge Ice Cream
For the last few years, I’ve enjoyed Dreyer’s Fudge Swirl Ice Cream. It was wonderful, and it was the only variety of ice cream that I’d found in decades that matched the marble fudge ice cream I’d enjoyed as a child. I was frustrated to learn just …
Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts
Although there is really nothing all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts, I nonetheless find them to be a satisfying and delectable snack to have around the winter season. There is nothing holiday or winter-like about these donuts, aside from the decorative box. The donuts …
Jiffy Pop Butter Flavored Popcorn
Growing up, before microwaves and even before air poppers were popular, Jiffy Pop Popcorn was the rage. We used to buy it all the time. It came like it was a pan and all you did was rub it against the hot burner. Since the age …
Maggie Noodles (Masala Flavor)
Maggie brand of noodles are very popular in India. Due to its unique taste, especially of that of its masala (spicy powder), that comes along with it, truly make is rule Indian noodles market. I have never heard of any other brand in India, when its noodles its always …
Pure Bulk Syrup (Cherry)
I’m not a huge fan of syrup like some people are, so I’m not too interested in mixing a glass of diluted syrup like myself unlike some people. The only way I would drink it, is if there is nothing else there to drink, and I really need something …
Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
Hidden Valley Ranch dressing is the only dressing that I like in my salads. It’s the best dressing if you ask me. It’s thick and creamy and has a taste like no other dressing out there. I had a Kraft ranch low fat dressing once and that is alright, …
Del Monte Chunky Mixed Fruit
When we bought several cans of Del Monte Chunky Mixed Fruit, I thought it was going to be a lot like my favorite Very Cherry Mixed Fruit by the same brand, only in bigger pieces and maybe with less cherries. Indeed, the ingredients are very similar - peach and …
Reggano Pasta Sauce
I recently had a chance to try this product when we used it as part of dinner last night.
Normally, I am not a big fan of canned or jarred pasta sauces; mostly because the majority of them lack anything in terms of flavor. And, to be perfectly honest, I …
Marie Callender’s Breaded Chicken Parmigiana - New Recipe
New and improved: that’s a line that used to be used quite a bit by companies when they wanted to hype their product. Well, Marie Callender has been doing that lately by coming up with new recipes. I’m skeptical of such things, but I decided to try …
Dainty Rice, Brown Rice with Sundried Tomato

Buddig Honey Ham Lunch Meat
If you’re like me you enjoy making a sandwich that’s packed with all the fixings. In my opinion the best part of a sandwich besides everything else is the lunch meat. I know when going to sandwich shops like subway or making my own sandwiches and wraps at …
Doritos Black Pepper Jack
I purchased these Dopritos as part of a buy one get one free promotion. I wanted to try them, but didnt want to pay $3.50 a bag. I felt somewhat justified in my purchase when they were theoretically “free”.
I would definatly purchase these Doritos at regular price in the …
Quiznos Rib Sandwich
Quiznos is quite outstanding, I must admit! I tried their rib sandwich this week because my brother kept bothering me to try it, claiming that it was “hype”. My guess prior to trying it was that it was probably decent, but I really had only heard of …
Kashi Cereal
I received a sample of Kashi cereal and I thought it was going be really good. Instead it was extremely crunchy and too hard. It was almost too hard to even eat and enjoy. I didn’t even eat the entire bowl of cereal and that is not like me. …
Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Cajun Style
This is a rice dish with a flavorful bite! There’s much more to this side dish than just white rice, although white rice does make up a major portion of what’s found in this package. I enjoy the flavor of green peppers, and there’s bits and pieces of green …
Crystal Farms Brand Colby Cheese
Product Description: Block of Colby Cheese avaialable at many grocery stores (we bought our block at Piggly Wiggly) for around $2.
What I liked about this product: The obvious answer to that is going to be the price. I love cheese but buying cheese like this from the deli can …
Honey Roasted Peanuts from Albertsons
Honey Roasted Peanuts is a very experimental way of peanuts from Albertsons. I purchased Albertsons Honey Roasted Peanuts at around four dollars for 340 grams. The price may be little over than I expect but I give full marks for this innovative product. The peanuts are well roasted with …
Selecta Gold Series Vanilla Almond
One day I was craving for vanilla ice cream so my sister went out to buy some. She came home with two pints of a 465ml Selecta Gold Series Vanilla Almond ice cream. The packaging is simply black and gold but it looks quite sophisticated.
Upon opening the lid, …
Gloria Ice coffee
Gloria is a Croatia brand of coffee but as in the last few years it became very popular to produce different instant beverages made of coffee so Gloria started producing cappuccino and some other beverages of coffee. I knew that Jacobs had those small packings for one cup only …
Chobani Greek Yogurt: Bite Raspberry with Dark Chocolate Chip
Chobani branded Greek yogurt is one of my favorites. Every chance I get, or when ever my neighborhood grocer is running a sale, I toss a few containers in my basket, all different flavors. Usually I get my favorite flavor, but this time I decided to try something new. …
Teriyaki Beef Jerky from Albertsons
The real teriyaki flavor is there with this beef jerky. But the content of the packet was less and contrary to size of the packet the number of pieces was less. I use beef jerky as a usual snack and this teriyaki beef jerky is finished in a day. …
Stouffer’s Roast Turkey Breast
Stouffer’s Roast Turkey Breast is not one of my favorite frozen meals and in fact, I likely will not purchase this meal again. The reason I will likely not purchase this meal a second time is because even though I do like turkey, it is not one of my …
Cinnabon’s Canadian Bacon and Cheese Sandwich
When I look at Cinnabon, the only thing that comes to mind are cinnamon rolls. However, I am here to review not cinnamons, but one of their sandwiches. When I was in the airport, I saw a small kiosk of Cinnabon and I wasn’t really craving for anything sweet …
Holland BakeryTikoy Roll
Holland bakery is just around the corner and I did not notice it until last week. I was driving around the block when I saw the Holland bakery and it is almost like a Chinese deli food store. I was so hungry then that I just wanted a quick …
The Co-operative Chocolate Sponge Sandwich
This chocolate sponge sandwich from the Co-operative’s own brand is only 70p and, for that price, it tastes pretty good. It is obvious not a gourmet sponge cake and I find that there is not too much in it, but it was moist and tasted nice and chocolatey …
Coffee Baileys
For Christmas this year my drink of choice was Baileys, as it is every year. This time however I decided to opt for their Coffee flavour to ring the changes. Baileys, for those of you who don’t know, is a cream liqueur which is usually drunk alone …
Wendy’s - Baconator
Wendy’s - Baconator is a burger that can be hit or miss. The burger comes with a total six strips of bacon that is hickory smoked and whenever bacon comes on or with something, I am typically cautious. The reason I am cautious is because bacon a lot of …
Recheks Food Pride Fresh Chicken Legs & Thighs
My parents surprised us the other day by buying a bunch of meat from Recheks Food Pride here in town and giving us half of it (money has been a bit tight after having the baby and they wanted to make sure we had something in our freezer).
One of …
