The ancient old Chinese tradition of drinking tea has become an adopted one for me as well as some of my close friends, and the tea of choice is Glen Tea.
I have had and tasted a variety of different tea brands over the years and I have finally settled …
8″ Rising Crust Supreme Pizza
Anyone who lives in the United States has seen a commercial for Digiorno pizza. Their big claim is that you cannot tell the difference between this pizza and delivery pizza. I have tried several varieties of this brand and yes, you can tell the difference. This …
Trader Joe’s Low Sodium Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup can either be wonderful or awful; rarely have I run into minestrone soup that didn’t fit into one of these categories. Usually, I find minestrone is wonderful and I’m always up for trying new varieties to see what kinds of things people do with it.
When I bought …

It’s quite fruity and I can’t put my finger …
Harbor View Snacks Salted Cashew Halves and Pieces (17 oz. tin)
These cashews are a tasty little snack someone bought for me because they knew I love cashews. I had never heard of the Harbor View Snack brand before, so I had no expectations based on brand alone. Inside the peel-away tin, it was brimming with cashew halves …
Hamburger Helper Philly Cheesesteak flavor mix
Lately, I have been on a bit of a Hamburger Helper mix “kick” after not buying these products for years. I have been working my way through a variety of the different flavors. I decided to try the Philly Cheesesteak flavor because …

Goya Dark Chocolate with Whole Almonds
For the past few months, I have been trying to lose weight. I exercise a lot, but I have also been depriving myself of foods that make me happy (read: chocolates). Fed up with depriving myself, but fearful of wasting all my hard-earned efforts, I marched to the grocery …
Silk All Natural Soymilk Chocolate
Although it’s more expensive than regular milk, I like to enjoy a glass of Silk All Natural Soymilk Chocolate now and then. I like to drink soymilk because of its health benefits. It’s loaded with vitamins like vitamin D and C as well as other nutrients and it doesn’t …
Maestrani Swiss organic chocolate raspberry
I must say that I was expecting much more of this chocolate. When you read Swiss on the chocolate wrapping you immediately know you are going to have a treat, especially if the wrapping itself looks very expensive too. Bio is a synonym for health in my head so …
Prince Albert’s soft sweet vanilla cigars
I have Prince Albert’s soft and sweet vanilla cigars. They are little cigars that taste very good and fairly inexpensive at just 4.79 a box at the local CVS. These little cigars come with a filter tip so you dont have the nasty cigar taste in your …
Sweetfire chicken at Panda Express
Sweetfire chicken is my one of the favorite dishes at Panda Express. I have never thought that pine apple and chicken would make such a wonderful combination. Panda Express has successfully blended the sweet tangy pine apple pieces into chicken and spices to make a juicy mouth watering dish.
As …

Snapple Lemon Iced Tea is by far my favorite brand and flavor of iced tea. It is the perfect blend of bitter and sweet with an excellent consistency. Snapple is not to watery or too thick. There are many other flavor such as blueberry, peach, and …
Warburtons Milk Roll White Bread
I have never been quite sure what milk roll is, but I have eaten it before as I like to try lots of different breads. I tried this milk roll from the Warburtons brand and I did enjoy it. This is a 400g loaf of white bread …
Lucerne Chocolate Milk (Gallon)
I much prefer chocolate milk over plain milk. I simply think that the fusion of chocolate and milk is a far more delectable and delicious one than simple white milk. Plain milk may go better with some cereals, but when it comes to just enjoying a cold glass of …
Jones Brand Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage
Product Description: Box of 10 pork breakfast sausage links (I bought maple flavor) available at select stores for around $2.50/box.

Chocolate Cheerios

Walmart Chicken Tenders
Since I was trying to finish up my Christmas shopping over lunch, I needed something to eat that would be quick but filling. I wasn’t doing my shopping at Wal-mart, but since it was close, I opted to visit their deli.

Drumstick Ice Cream Treats - With Sprinkles
Drumstick cones have been around for a long time without any changes - they are a standard sugar cone filled with ice cream, except for a bit of fudge in the bottom, then dipped in chocolate and rolled in peanuts. This formula has worked well for years, but …
Sweet Cane Granulated Sugar
I love to bake and I used to buy the smaller packages of granulated sugar (or white sugar as it is also called) for a while. I realized I was baking a lot and was going through the small packages of granulated sugar like they were nothing and so …
Papa Murphy’s Vegetarian Pizza
While I like getting my pizzas from Papa Murphy’s here in Beaver Dam, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of their vegetarian pizza.
Maybe it’s the fact I usually prefer to have some meat on pizzas; whether it’s sausage or pepperoni. And, of course, the vegetarian pizza …
Sainsbury’s Pure Apple Juice
Even though I shop at Sainsbury’s I’ve never actually tried their apple juice before. I’m not one for buying concentrated juices as I prefer to drink my juices fresh and as natural as possible.
But my daughter has recently developed a liking for apple juice, and not …
Dorina Hazelnut milk chocolates
When I was little I really liked chocolate with hazelnuts but then I stopped liking it and I haven’t tasted one for years. A few days ago my mother came home with 3 Dorina Hazelnut milk chocolates. They were all in one transparent wrapping and that’s why I think …
Russell Stover Sugar Free Pecan Delights
Everyone assumes diabetics don’t get to eat candy. According to most nutrition specialists, none of us should be eating much candy. Well I found Russell Stover candy. It doesn’t have that diet tanginess we all hate. These pecan delights are scrumptious. No, you cannot …
So Delicious Coconut Milk
My son is lactose intolerant and has had problems with digestion since he was born. It has been a challenge to find a milk alternative that he can tolerate. We tried goat’s milk, soy milk and lactose-free milk all without much success. He did a little better on the …
KitKat Extra Crispy
As I was shopping for my toiletries, I came across a chocolate bar which claims to be “EXTRA CRISPY” and “twice the crisp.” Just nother marketing gimmick, that’s what I honestly told myself at first.
Nevertheless, since I wanted to know for sure that it was indeed just a …
Healthy Way All Natural Vegetable Oil
My family and I have stopped using vegetable oil for years mainly because we have heard that coconut oil is better for ne’s arteries, from various local nutritionists. However, coconut cooking oil can be much more expensive and at times is even hjarder to come by, and that …
Stouffer’s White French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s White French Bread Pizza is a pretty tasty lunchtime meal that I enjoy having every month or so. What makes this pizza a treat to eat is the ingredients. This pizza has on top of it oil, garlic and herbs, and many pizzas that are made in the …
Dannon Activia Drinks
My friend suggested that I try Dannon Activia products for my often-upset stomach, because she said they always help settle her stomach and keep her system working well and feeling good. I bought a package of 4 drinks, just to see if they did anything at all. With frequent …
Hostess Limited Edition Donettes Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts
Hostess has really gone all out this autumn in producing pumpkin-flavored snacks and I can’t recall the company ever giving so many of its year-round snack cakes and treats a limited time pumpkin make-over. I’m not complaining though; the more foods pumped with pumpkin spice goodness, the better, for …
Wrigley’s Fruit Sensations Sugarless Gum Strawberry Banana
During the warm months I like to do a lot of hiking. When I go hiking it is often my habit to chew gum in order to keep from getting dry mouth. I like to try different types and flavors of gum. Just recently I tried Wrigley’s Extra Fruit …
Watsons Mineral Water
In my opinion Watsons Mineral Water is the best tasting mineral water of all. When I tasted Watsons I have immediately noted the pureness of this water. The taste is almost like that of young coconut milk so that drinking it would give me enough satisfaction. It does not …
Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Long John Cake
I personally prefer the Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Long John Cake over all the other long john pastries that this company makes and sells in the grocery stores. It may just be because strawberry is one of my favorite flavors to let rest on my taste buds, but I …
Peter Pan Honey Roast Creamy - Peanut & Natural Honey Spread
Ever since I was a kid my favorite snack is peanuts. I prefer savory over sweet. As there is a term for sweet lovers are described as having a sweet-tooth if there is a term called savory-tooth then that is what I have.
I just love savory food …
Cadbury Drinking Chocolate (vegan)
I absolutely love hot chocolate. I even drink it during the summer, which, I think, proves how strong my feelings towards hot chocolate are. I usually make my own hot chocolate with cocoa powder and natural sweeteners, but every time I see a new drinking chocolate powder at the store …
Doritos Dinamita: Chile Limon
I’m a person who likes different things, and who likes trying different things. In this case I decided to give Doritos Dinamita: Chile Limon chips a try. Now these chips came out not too long ago, but not recently. Here where I live, I began seeing them first in …
Ben and Jerry’s Cake Batter Ice Cream
I was intrigued by this cake batter ice cream and very curious about what it would taste like. It was released in 2008 as part of Ben and Jerry’s 30th “birthday” celebration (more like an anniversary, really).
Lately, I’ve become very interested in these ice creams whose flavors are actually …
The Co operative Fairtrade Gold Roast Instant Coffee
I gave quite a bad review of the Co-operative’s Fairtrade Instant Coffee, but this is the ‘Gold Roast’ which implies a better quality instant coffee. This is a freeze dried coffee ‘for a smooth, rich flavour’ so I was hopeful it was going to be better. This …
Safeway’s Gooey Butter Cake
I recently purchased Gooey Butter Cake in Safeway’s Bakery and I am glad I did. This “cake” is truely addicting! Although, I don’t know that I would classify it as cake. I am one of those people who can’t stand hard or dry food, especially when it comes to …

A few days ago I found a package of these at the store and grew quite excited. My grandfather used to bring these peanuts home for me years ago when I was a young child and I hadn’t seen them in ages. I didn’t expect to see them in …

Island 62 Flavoured June Plum Water
