CHIP SHOTS: MARGARITA AND SALT CHIPS
These were without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m a twenty something woman who knows how great an icy cold margarita can be after a hard day. I’ve also been known to do a few tequila shots with my friends …
Amy’s Split Pea Soup, Light in Sodium
I love Amy’s convenient natural meals. I think I have tried just about everything, well everything of their vegan line anyway. This was my first time trying the Amy’s Split Pea, light in sodium, Soup.
I really enjoyed the thick and flavorful taste of the soup. The …
Peter Pan peanut butter
Peter Pan peanut butter is relatively less thick than some other peanut butters I tried. The taste of peanuts is not highlighted in this product which gives it a different blend of taste while spreading on the bread. Even though it is written crunchy on the label of Peter …
Inernational House of Pancakes (Ihop)
We were staying in Florida recently with family, and decided to go out for a meal one evening. As there were several young kids in our household, we decided that pancakes would be a popular choice. That was great with me, as pancakes are amongst my favourite …
Springtree: Maple All Natural Syrup
Springtree: Maple All Natural Syrup is a syrup that is really very rich and delicious, more so even than the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s, two of my favorites, but unfortunately, I find this syrup to be ridiculously priced and for only, get this, eight point …
Knorr Pasta Sides Stroganoff
This Pasta Side for one dollar and fifty cents didn’t please me very much. It certainly sounded good on the package, but once I had it in front of me, I wasn’t impressed with what it had to offer. First of all, the mushroom sauce left a lot to …
Friendly Farms 2% Reduced Fat Milk (One Gallon)
The Friendly Farms 2% Reduced Fat Milk is milk that I’ve only found at ALDI Food Market stores. The milk used to cost one dollar and twenty-nine cents a gallon, but for about four months now, the milk has sold for just ninety-nine cents a gallon. That’s a terrific …

Quaker Harvest Crunch Raisin Almond Cereal
We do not buy Quaker Harvest Crunch cereals very often. They are quite expensive, so we only buy them from time-to-time as a treat.
We bought an 800 g box of the Raisin Almond variety. The cereal was very good - crunchy and tasty. There were a …
The Mars Bar
This is one of my favourites. It’s the Mars Bar. It must be about the most filling, sweet, gooey sweet on the market and people can’t get enough of it.
The Mars advertisements on British TV were famous: “A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.” Of …
Flat Iron Steak
I know this will seem like an odd review but I had heard flat iron steak was a tender piece of cheaper meat. Well it isn’t really that much cheaper it is usually within a dollar a ound of ribeye steak, but it is way more tender and has …
Tesco Isotonic Raspberry Sports Drink
I am not usually much of a one for isotonic sports drinks, because in the main I find them so sugary as to be rather too much of a good thing, but the other day I was feeling both very thirsty and rather lacking in energy, so decided to …
Arrowhead Mills Creamy Organic Peanut Butter
Many peanut butters contain large amounts of pestisides. They also contain a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin. I feel quite confidant that the Arrowhead Mills Organic Peanut Butter does not contain these “scary little aliens”, since they use only organic valencia peanuts. …
Marigold Chrysanthemum Tea
Chineses love teas, I believe they too are the ones together with the Japanese people that might have introduced teas, or even juice extracts to the world. For the Chinese, everything is almost edible and every fruit or flower has its own medicinal benefits. I am here to actually …
Nature’s Path Organic Mesa Sunrise Cereal
‘Nature’s Path Organic Mesa Sunrise Cereal’ has become the basic and most important food in my house. I am very happy because along with the nutritious ingredients, it is absolutely organic (USDA organic) and has nothing artificial in it. This cereal is high in fiber, which is very important …
Selecta Vanilla Ice Cream
I never go for plain flavors before but when I was left with no choice, I wanted the classic flavors of Selecta. Of all classic flavors, the least favorite of mine is vanilla because it feels too plain for me. I would prefer the old-time favorites like chocolate, strawberry or …

Stouffer’s Lasagna Italiano
Stouffer’s Lasagna Italiano is nothing special, although it does make for a decent meal if I have a salad and some bread with it. That will certainly fill me up quite well. However, in terms of actual flavor, there is nothing here that really excites my taste buds immensely. …
Florida’s Natural Premium Orange Mango Juice
This is really the only juice product put out by the Florida’s Natural company that I didn’t care for very much. The reason I was somewhat disappointed with this fruit juice is because I simply couldn’t taste hardly any mango in the juice. It was almost like I was …

Regent’s Cheese Ring
I am a real cheese addict. I have reviewed my favorite roller coaster snack, now I can compare and contrast it with this one. It is produced by Universal Robina while this one is by Regent. They are both made tasty like real cheese. The first major difference is …
Dillman Farm - All Natural Pear Butter Fruit Spread

Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Morsels
If I do say so myself, I make a mean chocolate chip cookie from scratch. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorites, and they always have been. If you want to get on my good side with a cookie, make it a good chocolate chipper and you can’t …
Tradition Matcha Green Tea Powder
I am a fanatical tea critique (especially of green and white tea) and recently received a 8.8oz bag of Matcha Green Tea powder. It was approximately 20 dollars and is a generous amount. I brewed my first cup properly by letting the boiling water subside then poured into tea …
Pepperidge Farm’s Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers
The Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers is a product by Pepperidge Farm.
I know that sodas can eventually be added to dishes to spread out flavor but I didn’t know crackers can actually be a match to spice up the flavor on dishes. I was really surprised when my friend bought …
Nature Valley Blueberry Yogurt Granola Bar
I didn’t know that Nature Valley had this flavour of granola bar until recently when I saw it in supermarket I had gone to. Instead, I would usually see some of the small retailers I had gone to selling flavours like “Oats and Honey”, “Peanut Butter” and “Maple Brown …
Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pie
Taking a bite of the Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pie is like diving into a pool of culinary delights! The first time I tried this amazing concoction I couldn’t believe my taste buds. The creamy chicken based broth is sublime perfection, so smooth and rich while the …
David’s Deli - Plain Bagels
I only purchased David’s Deli - Plain Bagels once and the reason for that is the bagels seemed to be on the stale side even though I had my first one the very next morning and the “best used by date” was far off. I always check the dates …
Dannon Activia Peach Cobbler Dessert Yogurt
Activia yogurt from Dannon has a new line of yogurts that are dessert yogurts. The Peach Cobbler dessert yogurt does taste delicious and like peaches, there are really no signs of any form of cobbler in the yogurt. This isn’t to say that this yogurt is not good and …
Island 62 Flavoured June Plum Water

Jelly Belly Lollibeans
I fully admit to having a love of Jelly Belly jellybeans. They were the first (and maybe only) company to make Dr. Pepper flavored jellybeans and they have a lot of flavors that you just can’t find anywhere else. They are now making suckers, which they call Lollibeans. I …
Torani Cherry Syrup
My boyfriend’s favorite soda is cherry, which is not a very common soda. I decided to get him a soda maker along with this Torani cherry flavored syrup for Christmas, and we both really love this syrup.

Quorn Peppered Steaks

Honey Bun - Cinnamon Roll
As a product of Jamaica, the company label Honey Bun which produces the ‘microwave me’ Cinnamon Roll did a very good job, but to me, it was a little too late as I discovered the microwave method long before they have placed it on their label. LOL. But as …
Pringles Stix - Honey Butter

Marketside Supreme Traditional Crust Pizza
This pizza is made by Walmart and can only be found at Walmart stores. It’s in the deli section and sells for just under six dollars for a twelve inch pizza. That’s a good size pizza and it always proves to be enough for my family of three, especially …
Great Value Fig Bars
The Great Value Fig Bars can be an addicting treat, but just because the bars are made with real fruit, doesn’t mean it’s safer to overindulge. While these fig bars might not be as loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients as some of the other stuff down the cookie …
Quaker’s Apple Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal Packet
Quaker is known for its variety of breakfast and snack foods that not only promise health but also promise great taste as well. With their box of instant apple cinnamon oatmeal packets, there is no doubt that it has made breakfast very simple, but the flavor is not that …
