I miss drinking YMA Apple Cinnamon Flavored Water. It is not that it has been discontinued - I could still easily purchase this water if I so desired, and I do, but I have to control that desire and work to stifle it because this water is, quite unfortunately, …

It is Christmastime and here in the Philippines that means that all our relatives from other countries are coming home and bringing with them a little bit of wherever they came from, which we call pasalubong. This year, one of our relatives brought home Donckels Belgian Truffles from the …

I usually buy Chapman’s Premium Ice Cream when I’m sad or on special occassions. Well… That isn’t completely true because the quality of this fine brand makes me often ignore my diet or that little voice in my head urging me to throw caution to the wind and please …

I’ve heard of scripture candy before, and pretty much wrote it off. After all, isn’t regular candy just as good as “scripture candy”? But recently a family member bought a tiny tin of Fish Mints and let me try one. One tiny fish mint and I …

It is customary during breakfast that my family always drink at least a bottle of orange juice, freshly brewed coffee or cold glass of milk. My lifestyle and philosophies in diet have influenced my family a lot and so I tend to help them in every way. I have …

Usually I do not feel differences between packaged drinking waters. I buy the 1 gallon bottle that catches my eyes first. And also refills the bottles when finished. Albertson’s drinking water that comes in green lid bottle attracted me with the pricing first. I gallon for just seventy five …

Diet Pepsi is perhaps the worst diet soda on the market. It always tastes flat and looses any carbonation quickly. It tastes like rancid water, not a soft drink.
On the up side, Diet Pepsi has no calories, fat, etc. If you are on a diet or trying to watch …

Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence is an excellent instant coffee with a lovely flavour. I like a coffee with a lot of strength to it but without harshness or bitterness and this coffee fits the bill. It is good and strong so I, as a total caffeine addict, …

It was an OK lunch but it could have been better.
I like the Our Family label for price. But, to be honest, the savings wasn’t really …

It is really important that what you eat should take care of your body. I have to limit what I eat in the morning and it should be predominantly rich in fiber and low in calories. Before choices of wheat bread, green leafy veggies and low fat milk with …

I admit up front that I’m not much of a health-conscious eater. I grew up on junk and processed foods, so most of the ‘good for you’ foods just don’t agree with my taste buds. Last year, though, I became acquainted with the Corazonas brand. It’s …

I bought a tofu at Hypercity grocery because I wanted to make some Palak Paneer for our supper. I bought Soyace because it looks fresh and clean and it was in good packaging. I really enjoy eating tofu or cottage cheese as I include it into so many dishes …

Diet foods are a huge sector of the overall food production right now - diet ice-cream, diet chocolate, diet bread, diet sodas etc. I’m not a big supporter of the whole reduced fat/carb/calories industry, but there’re a few products that I’m actually pretty happy with and this Diet Pepsi Lime …

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 …

I like Rice Krispies cereal, but I love Frosted Rice Krispies cereal! I find this cereal to be positively delicious, but unfortunately, the reason this cereal is so good is also the reason why a person should avoid it, or at least, only have it once and awhile. This …

I’ve often said Hormel is my favorite food brand for bacon, and that’s still true, though I do use Oscar Mayer from time to time. Recently, in fact, I saw Oscar Mayer Hearty Thick Cut Bacon on sale and purchased a couple of packages.
While Hormel adds some zest …

I had never tried green tea ice cream prior to Haagen-Dazs’ variety. I had always been wary of it, because while I enjoy green tea, I was concerned that it wouldn’t have very much flavor or that its delicate flavor wouldn’t translate very well to a rich frozen dessert.
I …

I love this tea. It reminds me of childhood, when I would visit grandma; she had some mint in her garden, we would pick some mint leaves and add them to our tea… Ah, the aroma, and the fresh minty taste! I wonder why not so many tea brands …

I love all sorts of tea and I’m always glad to discover new ones that I can try. I also like ginger, in any form. So, as you would guess, I am quite partial to ginger tea. But little did I know that there are so …

On hot summer months, I usually crave Ice cream. However, I cannot afford to purchase a lot of pints from Ben & Jerry’s all the time when I do. When my husband and I are on the go, we just choose to go drive-through and pass by the …

I just recently “discovered” this particular flavor of this brand and I’d have to say, I like it more than other brands of cookies. I used to be a big Chips Ahoy fan but for some reason , they changed the way they make the cookies. Now, when I …

Although I prefer the bananas and cream flavor over this one, this drink is still a treat to have. It’s not as rich in flavor as the bananas and cream drink made by the same company, Labrada Nutrition, but while it’s milder, there’s still a good strawberry taste to …

Krusteaz Pecan Bar Mix results in a tasty treat that offers up a pretty potent pecan flavor that makes for a delightful dessert item or even as something to go along with breakfast to bring some powerful pecan flavor to my breakfast meal. The pecan flavor is rich and …

The hamburger from McDonalds is one of my favorite snacks when I’m out and I get hungry. For example, if I’m walking to the grocery store I often stop in and get two hamburgers to go. Then I can eat them on the way to the store and they …

One day, while “chewing the fat” with a fellow employee at work, I was told about a wonderful seasoning enhancer named Accents. I hadn’t heard a thing about it, and my co-worker was extremely surprised- to say the least. She told me that she’d bring me a little in …

I walked by a coffee shop that was familiar to me and so curious, I stepped in at once. It was late in the afternoon and by that time, I already had my daily coffee quota. I spotted their Arizona Green Tea which they sold in several flavors. I …

I am a chicken wing lover. I know it’s not much meat on a chicken wing but I love them anyway. But wings that come with different flavors and spices make them much more delicious. I particulary like Carribean Jerk, Asian Zing, Teriyaki, and Mango Habanero. Some people think …

The apple pies baked at the Kroger bakery are quite enjoyable for a number of reasons. One of the primary reasons that I enjoy this store-baked apple pie is because it is quite moist. It is even more moist when I heat up a slice in the microwave for …

When it comes to brand name mashed potatoes I stick to Betty Crocker, but I liked the fact that the loaded potatoes had bacon and chives in it.

I bought a box of Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Promises on sale, paying $2.50 for it. There was also a milk chocolate version available, but I prefer dark, so I grabbed this one. The 6.21 oz chocolate-colored box is of irregular shape, I even thought at first that …

I am like most women, I like chocolate. There has been a lot in the health news about dark chocolate being good for you. So, I started trying different brands of dark chocolate that was at least 60% cocoa. Of all the dark chocolates out there, I believe Ghiradelli’s …

Asda own brand products are generally very good both for price and quality, and these ice cream cones are no exception. Presented in a box of four cones, the cost is a tiny £1.
The ice creams are very similar to a ‘Cornetto’ cornet in that the cone is …

In the eastern part of the capital of the Philippines lies my little city called Marikina City. It is nestled in a valley with the Marikina River running mightily through it. It has a picturque bike ways that goes around the city. Recently, I was in a hiatus from …

I tried it and I am now hooked. To my sheer astonishment, McDonalds makes outrageous coffee, and the caffine buzz it leaves me with is just what I am looking for! Lets face it, as a mom of three kids all under age three, I need something …

Everyone has been raving about the goodness that Acai berries have. People have been saying that Acai berries have greater antioxidants than other fruits. It is difficult to find Acai berries here in the Philippines so when there was an opportunity for my aunt to send us a huge …

I went home for lunch today and decided to raid the freezer again and make a quick meal using a Deli Pride Fish & Cheese Sandwich I had purchased from Save-a-Lot a few days ago.
I wasn’t expecting too much from this 99 cent lunch. And, to be perfectly honest, …

When it comes to eating lunch during the day, I liked to have meals that going to replenish me, fill me up and keep me until the next meal. Sometimes I go for meals I can throw in the microwave and other times I go meals that are cold …

Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico is indeed magnificent! After trying this special variation of pepperoni pizza, I do not believe that I will ever order just a regular pepperoni pizza for as long as Marco’s Pizza offers this delicious creation. What is so different about this kind of pepperoni …
