I would say that of all the local brands of Ice Cream here in the Philippines Selecta is the best. I’ve practically tasted all the brands but none of them have equaled the superior taste of Selecta. One thing that made Selecta superior is the fact that it …

It used to be that buying and eating rice cakes was like buying and eating flaked up and pressed together cardboard, to be brutally honest. But now that there are new flavours and slightly better textures, it’s actually a convenient and edible snack. Okay, so it always was edible, …

This one’s my favorite coffee mix since way back 2008. My eldest sister introduced this to me one morning when I was hurrying up and had no time for breakfast. She asked me to sit back and relax while she’s preparing for coffee. I hesitated and after just a …

Blue Bunny Banana Pops ended up being a not so wonderful treat for me. I enjoy banana-flavored foods and treats, but unfortunately, these Popsicles did not possess the rich and delicious banana flavor that I was quite hoping for. Although these Popsicles were not completely devoid of banana flavor, …

I love coffee, especially mochas. And wandering around the Dollar Tree the other day, I discovered these super cool little cans of coffee. “Self Heating Beverage” really sparked my curiosity, and the fact that theyre only a dollar? Totally worth a try!

McDonald’s McFlurries are like heaven in a cup. The fluffly taste and crunchy tidbits are a must-have on a hot, scorching summer day, instantly cooling you down.

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 …

I was never a spinach person until I started buying the Green Giants creamed spinach. It’s the type of spinach that you can eat with nothing or you can eat it something.
The Green Giants creamed spinach comes in a small to medium box that is incased in a …

I have to admit, I’m not a fan of chain pizza. Domino’s, Papa John’s and Pizza Hut just don’t do it for me. Since someone else was ordering a pizza from Domino’s and I had just seen the commercials for their new and improved Hand Tossed pizza, I thought …

I personally love to bake. I have for over a decade, and enjoy everything about. From the very preparation to the after math of indulging in it. Whether it be pastry of some one sort or something lasagna, casserole roll or anything else in that nature. Depending on what …

I like Libby’s Vienna Sausages, they are tasty and soft, an excellent choice for a quick snack. The tiny can of 6 small sausages costs under 50 cents. The sausages look like hotdogs cut in half. They are made of chicken, pork, and beef; very tender and moderately salty. …

I always purchase Mixes made by Jiffy. I always have stocks of the little blue boxes in my pantry because it always comes in handy when I am too tired to cook from scratch. The Jiffy Mixes are manufactures by Chelsea Mills of Michigan and it has been a …

Once more, it’s time for another trip to the old figurative lunch pail for a lighter liquid lunch alternative. This time on the docket is Wye River Eastern Shore Style Oyster Stew. Hmm another seafood soup; in my experience that can be a “risky” proposition. So how does …

This is the only on the go drink mix that I have ever tried. It’s one of the things you put in bottled watter to make it flavored. Well I would rather just buy the flavored water already made. To me this didn’t have enough flavor in it. It …

Breyers Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is certainly an improvement over the chocolate chip variety, but not so much that I will be purchasing this ice cream on a regular basis. The chocolate chip cookie dough and chips are relatively plentiful and can be easily found throughout the ice cream. …

I found Thomas’: Mini Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagels to be moderately enjoyable, although I feel that they could certainly stand some improvement in regards to the amount of cinnamon that is baked into these bagels. First though, let me go over what I like about these small bagels because …

This breakfast syrup product is definitely not worth trying. I bought some by mistake because the label on front had a sticker on it that hid the word “Lite”. I had been buying the company’s (Pinnacle foods group) regular County Kitchens syrup for some time and was happy with …

The granola bars were …

Chips is one of the junk foods that we can’t avoid. Since this is one of the less nutritious foods, it’s very important for us to have a minimal consumption of it. I seldom eat chips, but Pringles Potato Chips is really one of my favorites. Its thinly cut …

These potato chips are very nice. They are light and crispy - very thinly sliced, and the pepper flavour is very delicate - not at all overwhelming. The sea salt is nice, too - the saltiness of any potato chip is important, but I don’t like it when they …

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 …

I haven’t had too much experience with Mediterranean food beyond pitas and hummus. When Wal-Mart had the All Natural entrees on sale, I wanted to try Healthy Choice’s interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine. From the description on the box, it sounded like a pasta salad with the vegetables, …

So I’m walking through my local grocery store the other day and what do I happen to see? A great big bag of mini-pretzels (2 and a half pounds worth) for only $3.00. Well, ya know, I’m sold right there. That’s little more than a buck …

Now that it’s summer, barbecues are becoming a common thing in our household. But, it’s just not barbecue without baked beans. When I choose the beans to go with the brats, hamburgers and other items I grill, the only brand I want is Bush’s Baked Beans.
Bush’s offers just the …

Baker’s Corner 4-in-1 Halloween Sprinkle Jar Spooky Sprinkles is a product I came across while at an ALDI Food Market store. The price of the sprinkles seemed a little high at three dollars a jar, but the sprinkles were awfully attractive and the jar was a decent size, containing …

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 …
