IHOP At Home French Toast Breakfast Sandwich
I go out to eat to a IHOP restaurant usually a couple of times a month. I like the service, I like the food and I like the prices, for the most part. While going to a IHOP restaurant is a treat for me, the frozen breakfast sandwiches sold …
Oreo Cakesters by Nabisco
I found myself wandering the snack aisle at Wal-Marts yesterday and marveled at all the new choices of snack cakes and treats. Since I often pack a few items in my son’s backpack and he always ignores anything I consider healthy, I figured I budge a little …

Balconi Mix Max Chocolate Snack Cakes
Dolciaria Balconi is a famous brand of confectionary in Italy and at my local bargain Lidl supermarket I picked up a packet of Balconi Mix Max for a mere 99 pence. I thought this was a bargain because you get ten of these snack bars in a packet …
Coconut Twin Snack
I like to eat all kind of chocolate especially milk chocolate with coconut or milk creams in it. I don’t like chocolate with hazelnuts because they have some strange taste to me. So I always buy different chocolates that I like but most of all I buy chocolates with …
Cafe Nova Cafe latte
I first tasted Cafe Nova during the recent Singapore Asia Pacific food festival. I liked it upon tasting and we decided to get one pack. It has a large number of sachets and there are varities with and without sugar. This coffee uses freeze dried Arabica …
Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Snack Cakes
I have found these Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Snack Cakes to be a tasty treat to enjoy every now and then. While the flavor is not fantastically rich, the cakes do satisfy my desire for something sweet. The chocolate cake is relatively moist and soft, although the flavor could …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
While I’ve also done a review on the regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, I really wanted to do one on this product as well because as odd as it seems, there’s a bit of a difference between the regular product and this bag of miniatures.
When I was growing up, …
Aunt Jemima: Original Syrup
Aunt Jemima: Original Syrup is a syrup that has a pretty rich flavor to it. It is, however, one of the more expensive syrups, so I typically do not purchase it unless I have a good coupon or it is on sale at an attractive price. I can purchase …
Dari Creme Lite
I always like to use Dari Creme for my bread. It also tastes good for crackers. My mom bought Dari Creme Lite one time. It has less cholesterol, less fat, and less salt than the original Dari Creme. When I tried tasting it, it is less tasty. It really …
Chick-fil-A Lemon Pie
Although Chick-fil-A’s Lemon Pie is not quite as delicious and memorable as the fast food restaurant’s cheesecake, I still found the lemon pie to be a tasty treat that did not fall short of my expectations. The lemon filling used for this pie has a rich and authentic lemon …
Publix’s Sushi
Recently Publix made the decision to carry sushi in its fish department. I consider it the smartest move they’ve ever made. Although the selection is somewhat small, it has a variety of many kinds of sushi. It has anything from calamari salad to california rolls. The prices …
Stern’s Miracle-Gro Houseplant Food
Stern’s Miracle-Gro Houseplant food with chelated iron is bringing my plants to life.
I put a few drops in the water before watering the plans and a few extra in a small dish if I’m trying to root a house plant and I see a big difference in the health …
Wendy’s - Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Wendy’s - Spicy Chicken Sandwich is outrageously hot! I ordered this once and that was it for me! Never again! I can handle hot and spicy food to an extent, but each bite of this sandwich is enough to really send a hot sting across my taste buds! I …
Reser’s Creamy Mashed Potatoes
In a simplified Christmas meal, I enjoyed one of the products from Reser’s Fine Foods, their ‘Creamy Mashed Potatoes’, which is one of their ‘Sensational Sides’ foods.
The 24oz tub serves four and takes about four minutes to prepare total, so the package says. The serving size is perfect …
Quality street chocolates Assortment pack by Nestle
I like the Quality street chocolates Assortment pack by Nestle and my children just crazy about the quality street. The good thing about the whole pack is there are verities of chocolate in a single assortment pack. The pack can be a very good gift on all occasions. The …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes
I found these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes to be pretty average in flavor. If you have ever had a regular yellow cake before, you know that the flavor is inherently none too impressive, but it can make for a light and fluffy snack that does not spike …
Minute Maid’s Pulpy Orange
Minute Maid’s Pulpy Orange is an orange drink with a new twist. The name says it all. It contains natural orange pulp that sets it apart from regular commercialized orange juices. It just took me one sip to know that this drink would be a regular in our fridge. …
Hill Country Fare Pepperoni Pizza Quick Pouches
I am a fan of Hot Pockets. Easy to cook, easy to eat, and tasty to boot they are a great snack (or even meal if you’re in a rush, which I often am). However, I am always on the lookout for cheaper alternatives, which is why …
Mix Nuts by Growers, the Health Nut
When I was a kid, my mother used to buy greaseless peanuts in a pack made by Growers. Growers is a Philippine brand, manufactured by G.F.I. Enterprises, Inc., a snack food company with the greaseless peanuts as its very main product.
Now, Growers Mix nuts is my …
Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Chocolate
I find these Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Chocolate to be a little on the bland side. The reason I find them to be bland is because the chocolate cake just does not seem all that rich or moist, really. The chocolate flavor is simply not as delicious and …
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Frosted Strawberry
These pop-tarts are a little better than the cinnamon/brown sugar flavor, but not by much at all. To me, pop-tarts just do not seem to fill me up and thus are not worth the money. I eat one and it is like I did not even eat one. Really, …
Mom’s Day Mini Brownies
As you know for Mother’s Day there are lots of treats and candies, flowers, etc that go on sale for mum or are just made for this special occasion. Well at Walmart in Troy, Alabama there was Mom’s Day Mini Brownies on sale for this special day. I decided …
Starbucks Mocha flavored coffee k-cup pods

Recheks Food Pride Deli Chicken

While not as good as KFC …
Hersheys Kisses - Caramel Centers
I saw a bag of Hershey Kisses on the shelf at Fry’s Food Store the other day. I was particularly drawn to it since I was not aware kisses came with caramel centers. Being that caramel is one of my favorites I was curious how the caramel would be …
Amy’s Enchiladas
It seems like I can always rely on Amy’s to make yummy packaged food. The Amy’s Enchiladas are no different. Just good and natural.
I love their enchiladas. They take 5 minutes in the microwave, but do not taste like a microwave food. They taste like …

Quest for life is seen all over the internet. It is found on freebie websites, to be exact. Which is where I found it.

Stouffer’s Rigatoni with Roasted White Meat Chicken
Stouffer’s Rigatoni with Roasted White Meat Chicken is a meal that I definitely enjoy time after time. The combination of pasta and chicken is one that I find satisfying and good. The roasted chicken offers quite a bit of flavor and on top of the chicken as well as …

Breakfast Best Homestyle Waffles
I was very pleasantly surprised with the the quality of these low priced waffles. Breakfast Best Homestyle Waffles are carried by ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and twenty nine cents. For that price, ten waffles come in a box. That’s really quite a value, and what makes …
Sam’s Market (Berkeley, CA next to campus)
One of my favorite places hands down to go eat at in Berkeley. There are very few people who I have also talked to that disagree that Sam’s is an amazing store. Being brought onto the crucial telegraph space next to Walgreens a few years ago, it is one of …
Lean Cuisine Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
This is not the best flavored Lean Cuisine meal you can buy, but the portion size is good. Lean Cuisine describes this meal as: “Tender spaghetti served with a flavorful beef sauce made with tomatoes, sliced mushrooms and basil. Accented with garlic and black pepper.” It’s part of the …
Kellogg’s Special K Bars - Vanilla Crisp
If you love the flavor of vanilla, then boy oh boy will you love these bars! They are exactly as the box describes: crispy, crunchy vanilla delights! These bars are crunchy and I like crunchy bars, so I am very pleased that they are not soft or gummy. The …

Dilmah Ceylon Tea
I have tasted Ceylon tea before, but this was the first time we went to buy a Dilmah 100 tea bag pack. The aroma and flavour differs from other tea to some extent. Opening the pack leaves the fragrance of tea leaves and …
Pillsbury Apple Turn Overs
I found these at WalMart by the cincinnamon rolls and that kind of breakfast food. On the box these turn overs looked very good, and I have never seen turn overs in a can before, but love to get the Arby’s ones so I decided to buy and try …
Wholly Guacamole Snack Packs in Classic
After being a big fan of the Wholly Guacamole brand for a while, I finally got to try one of their 100 calorie snack packs, and I’m absolutely in love! These packages are the perfect option for a quick, healthy snack without wasting an entire (expensive) package of guacamole!
Although …
Fritos Original Corn Chips
When a person is allergic to soy, there are very few snack foods or chips that is safe to eat, as the majority of them are cooked in soybean oil or else they have flavor added using soy. Fritos Original Corn Chips, however, is one of the safe ones …
Nestle Fitnesse Honey & Almond Cereal
For quite some time now, I could not eat breakfast without any egg on my plate. After reading too many cases of increased cholesterol, I ventured eating foods without egg on it. I experimented with cereal and I first tried Nestle Fitnesse Honey & Almond. I just poured …
3 Musketeers - Mint with Dark Chocolate
I have always been a fan of 3 Musketeers (the candy bar, not the sword wielding trio). And when I saw them mixing with my favorite flavor ‘mint’ I was excited to say the least. They’ve changed to a dark chocolate to better accommodate the mint making …

Sells for 15 dollars in Ontario LCBO Shops
Region of origin: Spain - Valdepeñas

It’s quite fruity and I can’t put my finger …
M & M Bumbleberry Blossom - flower shaped pie
As a convenience, M & M meat shops are pretty good. A little bit on the expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for, type of thing. The latest thing I have tried is the Bumbleberry Blossoms, which are individual little pies. They’re really cute - shaped …
Gold Cup’s Chocolate Covered Caramel Popcorn
For a while I have wondered what the two great snack foods of chocolate and caramel popcorn would taste like. I have a sweet tooth and a fondness for both of these sweet treats.
I saw a package of Gold Cup’s Chocolate Covered Caramel Popcorn in my local discount store …
Shiraz Wine (Trader Joe’s)
I really have no idea about where different wines come from. For years I would order Chardonnay, simply because I liked the light refreshing taste. Then I ventured out to explore red wines, like Chianti and merlot. But when I ran across the Shiraz wine …
Campbells V8 Golden Butternut Squash Soup
