Hershey’s Kisses
It is one of my favorite chocolate treats. Although I am moderating my intake of sweets for health reason, if there’s Hershey’s Kisses, I just can’t resist the temptation to indulge myself.
What I love …
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 …
Milka Fire Limited Edition
In the shop near my house Milka chocolate are on discounts very often, so everybody in my house buys them. They taste fine and when they are on discount you can get them for about 70 or 80 Euro cents which is not all that much for that quality …
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Here I’m talking about good old in the box boil it and make it Kraft Mac and Cheese. There really isn’t any other kind — don’t even talk to me about the microwaveable kind, which is really a bit nasty if you ask me. This original macaroni and …
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 …
St Helier Pear Cider
As this is a drink I was unsure what category to put this in so here it is stuck in the food one.
Pear cider..what’s so exciting about that? Well apparently years ago orchard owners kept a corner of their orchard for growing pears for their cider as they believed …
Sea Dog Blueberry Beer
I used to not really be a beer drinker, but spent time with people who were. i would often have difficulty infinding something to drink when we were out at bars that had primarily a beer menu. Then, I tried this beer.
This beer atstes almost like a blueberry tea, …
Uncle Ben’s Sweet & Sour sauce
This sauce has a sweet and sour taste that mixes between them perfectly. It has pieces of crispy vegetables in it pineapple and bamboo shoots. You can use it with pasta, rice but also with meat only and it tastes really great.
I was pretty sceptical when I first saw …
Swanson Pot Pies
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.
That’s why I ended up purchasing Swanson Turkey pot pies the other day. They looked like …
Veetee Dine In Peri Peri Rice
This Peri Peri Rice is the second in the Veetee Dine In rice range I have tried and this is as gorgeous as the mushroom one. These promise —˜restaurant quality’ rice which it truly is and with no effort whatsoever. As I have not mastered how to …
Violife Original Flavor melting cheese for pizza
As a newborn vegan, I don’t really miss the cheese. I don’t ever crave it, my taste buds have pretty much changed, but melted cheese is still my greatest weakness. As soon as I went vegan, I started looking for the cheese alternative that melts. I have already tried the …
Trader Joe’s Kalamata Olive Hummus
I was intrigued by this hummus because I love the taste of kalamata olives. These are large purplish-black almond-shaped Greek olives that have a lovely texture that is similar to meat. Trader Joe’s hummus tends to have a pasty, rather than creamy, texture to it, which is not something …
Orbit White Bubblemint Gum
I am reviewing Wrigley’s Orbit White Bubblemint gum. You can now buy this in the “BigePak” which is a circular shaped container. It is less than $3, and you get quite a bit of gum for that price. This particular size would be good to throw in your purse …
Del monte tomato sauce
I loved cooking and one of the best ingredients I put in my recipe is Del monte tomato sauce. Del monte tomato sauce is made from 100% fresh tomatoes, which contains lycopene that reduces the risk of heart disease and some cancer.
It is more healthy that other spices, I …
Nutrisystem BBQ Sauce
I have recently started the Nutrisystem Advance program for women. One of the foods I had was the BBQ Sauce over Beef, Beans, and Rice. It is 270 calories.
I cooked it in the microwave. It really smelled good. I am usually hungry come …
Choco Biscuit Milk chocolate with Petit Beurre by SL
I was always fond of biscuits with chocolate, although I must say that when I was little I liked more cakes and similar stuff with creams but still I liked chocolates cookies and biscuits. Now when I got older I try not to eat too much sweet stuff and …
Milka Chocolate
Milka has been around since 1901, when it was first invented by Philippe Suchard in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. I guess that the old tradition makes Swiss chocolate among the best in the world because I think that when there were no machinery everything was better because it was prepared differenty. …
Hostess Powdered Donettes
I really have two favorite kinds of donuts — glazed and powdered. I suppose I’m overly loyal to what I grew up with and am a bit of a finicky eater (that’s an understatement, I’m certain), but give me a good glazed donut or a good powdered one, …
Mission Tortilla Triangles Restaurant Style
Mission Tortilla Triangles Restaurant Style is a snack food that’s ideal for parties and gatherings, especially big day gatherings like for the Super Bowl, but also for individual snacking too. Although I wish that this snack food was shaped with dipping in mind, like the Tostitos Scoops! Hint of …
Swedish Fish Brand Soft & Chewy Candy
Swedish Fish Brand Soft & Chewy Candy is cherry-flavored and chewy candy item that I’ve come across in stores like the Dollar Tree. For one dollar, I can purchase a package that is a little over three ounces in weight. That’s not a lot of candy, actually, for a …
Irish Potato
It is amazing that an item this small can make such a terrible stink. I usually purchase Irish Potatos on a Saturday morning while doing my grocery shopping, they are for Mashed Potatoes or Potatos Salad usually on the Sunday for dinner. I often buy enough to last for …
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop
With all the frozen varieties of Marie Callender’s that I’ve purchased over the years, I have never chosen one that has a pork chop in it. I love pork chops, but for some reason, I haven’t purchased them in any frozen capacity. However, I’ve been doing a …
Extra Nice Banana Chips
I first bought this brand of banana chips thinking that it was actually the brand “Nices.” Thinking about it now,the company who makes “Extra Nice Banana Chips” has a pretty good marketing strategy since their packaging and name is very very similar to “Nices Banana Chips.” However, it is …
Quaker Oats Quick Cook Oatmeal
For my breakfast, I always love to eat different food everyday. I don’t want to eat the same kind of food each day. But to start a day, I love having wheat or oatmeals. I always want to eat something healthy and stay healthy. But I don’t want to …
Krusteaz French Toast
I’ve found a new food to love, and that’s Krusteaz French Toast which I tried for the first time last week and which I intend to enjoy again the very next time that I go grocery shopping.
I have to say that I was extremely skeptical because the box espouses …
Schlotzsky’s Angus Roast Beef & Cheese sandwich
Many years ago, I fell in love with Schlotzsky’s Roast Beef and cheese sandwiches. I used to love them not only for the wonderful tasty sourdough bread, but because their “special sauce” was so tangy. At any rate, I decided to order another of these. …
London Pilsner Premium Beer
Hubby went outside to buy our dinner and when he came back he already bought beer with him. It was not the regular beer that we used to drink during our weekend dinner at home. It was my first time to taste London Pilsner Premium beer. It was not …
Country Crock Margarine
Product Description: Tub-sized margarine spread that is available at most grocery stores in the dairy/butter section.
What I liked about this product: As is usually the case, my decision to buy this product was based on price and, compared to other brands, this is one of the most affordable ones …
Streit’s Matzo Ball Mix
I personally love dumplings usually made with seasoned chicken broth, and rice. Now I do like to try different kind of dumplings. This time around I decided to try Streits Matzo Ball Mix. They are Jewish dumplings that I was introduced to me by my mother who also likes …
Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches
I have to admit that Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches are yummy. I also have to say they’re darn expensive, which is why I don’t get them very often. Still, for a treat, they’re hard to beat.
The silver package with the white polar bear has been …
Stouffer’s Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken
Stouffer’s Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken is a meal that I moderately enjoyed. This meal most definitely has quite a strong lemon flavor to it, courtesy of the lemon pepper sauce. The lemon goes quite well with the grilled chicken. I found the grilled chicken to be relatively tender and …
Cobra Energy Drink
Are you drinking this Cobra Energy Drink? For those who are planning to buy one, think twice. It’s not that effective aside from the fact that it really taste bad. For me the tv advertisement of this product is misleading. Here is my experience. I am a call center …
Hungry Man Chicken Breast Dinner
I’ll admit it. I am a big fan of TV dinners (well, if they’re tasty ones). They’re quick, convenient and easy to make, and it sure beats cooking a whole meal when you want something fast. Since I enjoy TV dinners so much, I decided to …
PG Tips Tea
When Americans think of tea, they usually think of iced tea. We tend to be a nation of coffee-drinkers, for the most part. In American schools, we learn about the Tea Tax and the Boston Tea Party. Tea is something that people in faraway countries drink everyday.
However, there is …
Trebor Soft Mints
I adore Trebor Soft Mints, although I did break a tooth on one of them! I just eat them more carefully nowadays! I find these mints to be incredibly moreish and I usually tend to binge on them, eating one after the other until they are gone. …
Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap
I am not generally a huge fan of fruit scented soaps, but Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap has proven to be an exception to my rule. I bought this package of three soaps at my local grocery store for $2.99CDN.
What attracted me to this soap was the great scent …
Wheat Thins Parmesan Basil
This flavor of Wheat Thins is delicious! Out of all the Wheat Thins varieties, I think this one has the strongest flavor of them all. I was really surprised when I took my first bite because usually wheat thins have a mild flavor to them. This flavor of Wheat …
PurOliva Oil
It’s well known that Olive Oil is a better oil to use as it’s heart healthy but good extra virgin olive oil can be very expensive.
My sister had us over for a lovely italian meal and told me that she uses PurOliva.
I decided to give it a whirl.
It’s a …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights
I tried this the other day and surprisingly it was really good. I didn’t expect it to be that good. You pour the cake mix into a bowl that they give you, then you put a little bit of water in it and you squeeze some of the fudge …
Golden Bantam Corn
Golden Bantam Corn is an heirloom variety of corn that you can save seed from year to year and get the same thing repeatedly. It cost $1.65 a pack for two ounces which contains approximately 230 seeds. When we were setting up our farm this year we decided we …
San Mig Pro-Fiber coffee
San Miguel came up with a new of line of instant coffee dedicated to coffee drinkers who also want to lose weight at the same time. I have already reviewed San Mig Pro-Slim and this time I tried San Mig Pro-Fiber.
The theory is that in order to lose …
Talenti Gelato Mediterranean Mint
Mint chocolate chip ice cream is one of my favorites, and Talenti makes a mint chocolate chip gelato that is one of the best I’ve ever had.
I’m a big fan of Talenti gelato, and the Mediterranean Mint is one of my favorite flavors. The one big drawback of this …
De Cecco spaghetti pasta
I’ve bought my first de cecco spaghetti pasta for my son’s birthday party and since it was quite an expensive sort of pasta I thought that maybe I should better give it a try on a special occasion. I followed all the cooking instructions on how to make …
Special K Cereal
Special K is a great cereal when you are looking for something simple and healthy. This flaky cereal is much better than traditional corn flakes while keeping teh same simplicity. Great with milk, the fat free cereal gives you 11 of your vitamins and minerals. A good way to …
Old English 800 40oz Malt Liquor
Old English 800 40oz bottles are one of the best Malt Liquor beers I have ever had. This stuff is just great and will get you a good buzz. Now the taste is not the best but it’s not that bad either. For the price of the 40oz …
Kroger Creamy Garlic Ranch Dressing
One of my favorite herbs would definitely have to be garlic. There was one time when I went through a garlic frenzy and I would eat it with everything everyday. However, people around started to complain that I smelled funny, although I never smelled myself. I think it was …
Pringles Stix Pizza
Much like the honey butter variety of Pringles Stix, the pizza “stix” aren’t much to get excited over. They are a little better than the honey butter flavor of “stix”, but they really get blown away by the cheese and the jalapeno flavors. This flavor of “stix” is actually …
Fish Mints Intense Wintergreen (Scripture Candy)
I’ve heard of scripture candy before, and pretty much wrote it off. After all, isn’t regular candy just as good as “scripture candy”? But recently a family member bought a tiny tin of Fish Mints and let me try one. One tiny fish mint and I …
Old El Paso Hard and Soft Taco Dinner Kit
Thanks to a new product I just found, I can now make tacos at home again, which is something that makes me very happy. For years, I have rarely purchased taco kits from the grocery store because I like hard tacos and my husband likes soft ones, so I …
