Chick-fil-A Hash Browns

Lay’s Sea Salt and Pepper potato chips
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 …
Delamere Goat’s Butter
These days I like to have a good —˜proper’ butter in the house, not just one of those —˜like butter but it’s not actually butter’ spreads. A good butter really makes a difference to sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cooking generally and I have come to appreciate that. …
Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino Coffee Drink
I’m not usually a fan of Starbucks Coffee but these little drinks are amazing. I bought a 9.5 ounce mocha flavored Frappuccino in my local gas station for around $2. I wasn’t expecting much considering my bad experiences with Starbucks products in the past.
However, I was pleasantly …
Diet Pepsi Cola– Decaf
This soda happens to be a favorite of mine. Although sodas sweetened with Aspartame are not good for you by any means, an occasional glass or two shouldn’t hurt too much. I enjoy Diet Pepsi Decaf because of the light, refreshing, crisp, true cola taste. It does not have …
Dannon Caramel Yogurt
Somewhere somebody in a board room meeting announced “I’ve got a great idea! Let’s combine yogurt and caramel!” This somebody is probably now among the 10% who are unemployed in the United States. As this yogurt seemed to be different, we decided to give it a try. …
Stouffer’s Baked Chicken Breast
Stouffer’s Baked Chicken Breast is a pretty enjoyable and nutritious meal that I like having every now and then. What I like about it is simple, really. The baked chicken breast has a pretty good flavor to it, and it is tender, too! Plus, the chicken breast is a …

Little Debbie Devil Squares Cakes
I do not like the Little Debbie Devil Squares Cakes as much as I do the Devil Creme Cakes because these square cakes have a slightly hard chocolate exterior where as the creme cakes have a soft exterior. The slightly hard exterior on the square cakes is really hardly …
Simply Apple-Pure Pressed Apple Juice
I am not a huge fan of apple juice, but do enjoy a glass once in a while. Now come the fall when the local orchard makes the fresh apple cider, that’s a different story.
At a recent dinner get-together my mother-in-law brought out Simply Apple juice for our …
Maggi Cuppa Mania Noodles

Bumble Bee Albacore (Pouch)

Nescafe Azera Barista Style Instant Coffee Range
I first decided to try the Azera coffee range when I became addicted to proper ground coffee but didn’t like the inconvenience of making it. I was never satisfied with the regular granules and found them harsh and bitter if I ever wanted to try them without milk.
Now this …

Blue Bell Banana Pudding Half Gallon Ice Cream

Stovetop Cornbread Stuffing

Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Orange Stick
I like every sweet thin that contains orange and chocolate because I like nice little sour but fresh taste of orange that mix nicely with sweet chocolate. But this stick I didn’t like very much. It has too sweet chocolate made with lots of butter. This butter makes chocolate …
Cheezy Bites Pizza
Pizza Hut’s pizza is usually tops in my book. Their pizza is the best you can get and you can find great specials going on at times. However, the new item, Cheezy Bites Pizza wasn’t anything to write home about.
It’s designed to be breadsticks and pizza in one, thus …

If you like mild but flavorful salsa, you MUST try this salsa I found at Dollar Tree. Now, I’ve bought their 16 oz. jars before and they’re very good, but this one is 24 oz., which is 50% more for the same price!
We use a lot of salsa …

CHEEZ-IT Pepper Jack Crackers
Cheez-it pepper jack is another selection from the cheez-it family that I decided to give a try after seeing in the store. The cheez-it on the box looks like someone took small pieces of pepper Jack cheese and folded them over into squares and baked them. Oddly they still …
Nestle Butterfinger Stixx
I first encountered Nestle’s Butterfinger Stixx when I was on vacation in Alabama, USA a few years back. It was interesting to see these popular bars now in a stick form. There were different varieties available but I choose the Butterfinger Stixx from the group first.

After buying expensive brand names for a few months, we …
Almond Crunch from The Classic Confections
Like most people, I adore chocolates. I especially like them with almonds. I read about an allegedly delicious concoction in a magazine that is baked and sold exclusively by The Classic Confections. They started out as a home business making delicious desserts with chocolate cake as their bestseller. Eventually …
Hormel Chili - no beans

Dormen’s Spicy Peanuts
I did not like these spicy peanuts at all. It is not that the quality of them is bad but more the fact that I was expecting something else. I recently had some spicy jumbo peanuts from KP which were gorgeous —“ just massive peanuts covered in …
Sorrento Cheese Sticksters
I’ve always enjoyed Sorrento’s many fine cheese products both in cooking and simply as a healthy and quick snack. Recently I tried their “Sticksters” cheese for kids (although grown ups can eat it too!). It is along the same idea as the stringsters type of cheese but the sticksters …
Lulu B Mojito Cocktail
After having a lot of success with the Lulu B. diet cocktail flavors I’d tried which were the chocolate martini and cosmopolitan flavors, I decided to also try the mojito flavor.
While a mojito is not really high in sugar, carbs or calories, at least according to the weight …

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
I am an extremely, 100%, die-hard, number one fan of this spread: the Nutella Hazelnut Spread. And I’m not being overly dramatic when I say it’s like heaven inside the mouth. It’s just so smooth, creamy, tasty, and it has just the right sweetness. The only downside is that …

Ferrero Rocher Chocolates
The sight of Ferrero Rocher - with its trademark gold foil wrapping - never fails to make my mouth water. I’ve loved this chocolate ever since I first tasted it in elementary school. I didn’t even know what it was called then. I just referred to it as the …
Morrisons Cream of Tomato Soup
Creamed tomato soup is my absolute favourite type of soup. Tomato tastes too tart for me without the cream, but with the cream to smooth out that lovely flavour, I just love it. I tried out this one from Morrisons own brand and the fact that it …
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, …
