Cheetos Crunchy Snack
Lays chips and Ruffles chips are agreeable snacks when eating hot dogs, polish dogs, and hamburgers. However, they can quickly become disagreeable if eaten everyday.

Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …

Digiorno Supreme Pizza

Recheks Food Pride M&M Cookies

One of their most recent purchases for her were M&M cookies from the Recheks Food Pride bakery …
Wendy’s Baconator hamburger sandwich

Todai Seafood & Sushi Buffet in Puente Hills Mall
Todai Seafood Buffet…where do I start? Okay, I’ll start by giving the bottom line: this place is amazing. Before coming, I was a little skeptical that an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet would be any good; most Asian buffets fall flat in the flavor department and are overpriced. True …
Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s is known for providing quality meals that are filling, nutrious, and easy to make. For those, like me, who are not cooking experts, this is the best thing that could happen. The star in Stouffer’s line up is their french bread pizza.

Kraft Miracle Whip Sandwich Spread
Who doesn’t like mayonnaise? I’ve grown to like mayonnaise because of its versatility. But having a plain mayonnaise, at some point, brings about dullness.

Peppermints - Milk Chocolate from See’s Candies
Just about my all time favorite treat for decades has been from See’s Candies. It’s their peppermints, primarily the milk chocolate variety. They do have a dark chocolate, but I’ve never been a dark chocolate affectionado, for some reason.
The Milk Chocolate Peppermints really do satisfy me and …

Special K Protein Meal Bar - Double Chocolate
I’m not the healthiest food eater in the world. In fact, I’m far from it. I’m a persnickety eater, especially with foods that say they are healthy. I need that old school taste that I grew up with. I have, however, found a couple of …
Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular flavor instant coffee
Out of so many brands of instant coffee, I still love to drink Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee. The Nescafe 3-in-1 Strong is too strong for me, and the Nescafe 3-in-1 Mild has no coffee taste at all.
At least Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee mix has the aroma …

Nabisco Mini Nilla Wafers
As wafers go, mini Nillas rank up there. They’re right next to the regular-sized Nillas on the store shelf and probably offered as an alternative necessary to certain recipes. I wasn’t taken by the packaging: they featured Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman, two race car drivers, on the front, …
