Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza Kit

Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizza
We eat a lot of pizza in my house and it can definitely become expensive fast. We decided to try Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizza as a low cost alternative and we weren’t disappointed .much.
The price is great. I buy these pizzas at my local Kroger for …
El Monterey Tornados - Snack Food
Tornados are a unique snack food by Ruiz Foods. These snacks consist of a seasoned crust wrapped around a delicious filling. I first tried them because they appeared on my favorite NASCAR driver’s (Ryan Newman) car. I had no idea what Tornados were, so I paid attention …
Bubble Tea
One of my recent cravings is for tea drinks with pearls. As a result, I always find myself going to the Bubble Tea branch in Tomas Morato which has only been open for several months. I like the branch because aside from being near my place, it …
Stride Spearmint Sugarfree Gum
I recently saw a ridiculous gum commercial where they were acting like the flavor of the gum lasted so long they might not sell as much gum. Even though it seemed like a silly claim, I had to try it and see if the gum really did have flavor …
Stouffer’s Pepperoni French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s Pepperoni French Bread Pizza is not a variety of pizza that I care for all that much. It is not that I do not like pepperoni, quite the opposite really, but I do not find the pepperoni on this pizza to be too tasty at all. Yes, there …
Our Family Cola
We had a small get together at our house a couple weeks ago and, as is usually the case whenever we invite a lot of people over (mainly because nobody ever seems to show up), we ended up with a ton of food and beverages left over.
One of the …

The Volvic Natural Mineral Water can be seen in almost all vending machines here in Japan. They are also available in the convenient stores and supermarkets. You can buy a liter for a hundred yen (100Y). The mineral water tastes very light and smooth to the throat unlike other …
Camel SNUS
So Camel is test marketing a new tobacco product, Camel SNUS, in my area. I haven’t tried it yet but I can tell you one thing: this is one Camel product I am not going to be buying.
Basically the Camel SNUS is like chewing tobacco, except you don’t …
Pringles Original
It’s so easy to spot this in the supermarket - - -a tall red coloured tube, at the top is a picture of a white man sporting bushy eyebrows and handle bar moustache and the red bow, below that the bright yellow letters spelling out PRINGLES. I don’t know …
Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit
Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit is a very tasty breakfast sandwich that alone is not sufficiently filling, but with two, boy am I set until lunch! The biscuit is a buttermilk one that is very soft and flaky and the chicken is tender and crunchy and loaded with flavor! The two …
Sprouts Farmers Market Honey Wheat Pretzels
Pretzels seem to be the big thing right now. Just a few days before writing this review, I ran across a bag of soft pretzel rolls in the store, and not to mention I saw the billboard with the advertisement of the fast, food restaurant Wendy’s having a pretzel …
Wispa Chocolate Bar
This bar of Chocolate has been out for as long as I can remember, but around 1998 these Chocolate Bars vanished from all shelves. The Wispa Bar wasn’t getting sold anymore. Rumours was that the sales of them were poor, but then again when you see all the Chocolate …
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs are a little costly, but they are very good. I don’t know how it is done, but each hotdog is filled with thick cheese sauce that comes out when you bite into it. The mix of hotdog and melted cheese tastes great; there is just …

Nescafe Cappuccino (decaffeinated)
I like a good coffee. But, in my mind, cappuccino isn’t really “coffee” proper - to me, it’s more of a “dessert”, or more accurately, a comfort drink. The problem is, sometimes I feel I really need more than one such comfort drink - and then caffeine starts piling up.
Luckily …
Naturebox Snacks
My husband and I have recently decided that although we are decent eaters, we need to further eat better; especially as a good influence for our 2 year old. My husband came home the other day and told me how he heard an advertisement on the radio for …
Tropicana Lemonade
One of the first things I noticed when I picked up a 12-pack of Tropicana Lemonade is it had one an award from the American Culinary Chefsbest for best taste. That isn�t why I bought it. I got it because it was on sale.
But, after trying it, I have …
Sainsbury’s Cornflakes
I generally eat cereal at breakfast time, rather than go to the time and trouble of preparing anything more complex such as a cooked meal, but all I really ask of that cereal is that it be reasonably well made and tasty. Sainsbury’s Cornflakes are not quite as nice …

Cloverhill Bakery - Lemon Long John Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Lemon Long John Cake is something that I found to be mildly satisfying. The reason I use the word mild is simply because I feel this cake could have been better, but I cannot say I was overly disappointed in because I did enjoy it. …

Percol Instant Hot Chocolate
I have had a craze on instant hot chocolate lately and I have tried lots of different brands, but this is by far the nicest, by the brand name Percol. Actually it is really gorgeous. I bought a sachet of Percol from Tesco for about 30 pence …
Hostess Fruit Pies - French Apple
Just like the apple variety, the french apple pie made by Hostess is truly nothing to get excited about at all. Just as the apple variety boasted a somewhat artificial flavor as well as a dull apple flavor, this french apple variety does exactly the same thing. This is …
Nabisco Snack Well’s Fudge Drizzled Caramel Popcorn

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 …
Iced Coffee with Vanilla Ice Cream

I remember how much I used to enjoy Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing on my salad many years ago. I have been trying to eat healthier now, so I do not eat it anymore. I love the taste of Marie’s, because it doesn’t have a strong vinegar taste like …
Rolly pop strawberry

Chamdor, the Sparkling Grape Wine
Do you love drinking wine? Well, Chamdor is right for you. It was Christmas day when I first drank that wine. My uncle brought home a bottle of Chamdor. At first, I wasn’t into it. The smell is just similar to the wines I already tasted, and I thought …
Macaroni and Cheese
One of my siblings truly love the combined taste of Macaroni and Cheese. This is considered an alright dish for me, though just macaroni by itself is not considered like one of my most favorite dish. On days that our mom are working, my sister and I would …
