Tired of the “traditional” tortilla chip brands and looking for something different?
I was. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Tostitios and Dorritos are fine, but everybody’s had those (in the US anyway.) I was looking to try someone more “craft” and local/regional to Texas and I found them—¦Julio’s family …

I’ve always enjoyed eating Arnott’s Tim Tam biscuits since I was a little kid, and after not having them for a few years, I decided to buy a packet while I was at the grocery store recently. To my surprise, I noticed that they’d added many new …

I had always been big on Quaker oatmeal, but I didn’t know about their granola bars until my junior year of high school; I was in color guard and the instructors gave them to us to eat after a parade we participated in. The granola bar I was given …

I got addicted to a very similar chocolate bar from Marks & Spencers, but I started buying these —˜Echo’ bars from Wilkinsons as they are very similar but a lot cheaper, at 89 pence for a packet of 6 bars. These are quite a small size at about …

Hungry Man meals are advertised as a pound of delicious, filling food in a convenient TV-dinner form that is ideal for, as the name would suggest, a hungry man. A large portion of the available dishes are fried, such as country-fried chicken, fried buffalo-style chicken, and fried popcorn …

In my lifetime spanning 55 years on this earth I have consumed more than my fair share of soft drinks. I have tried them all. It wasn’t until my doctor told me to lose some weight or go on medication to control my sugar that I even considered a …

I bought a case of the Kirkland Signature Drinking Water, distributed by Costco Wholesale Corporation out of Seattle Washington. The first thing I noticed about the water was a very strong chlorine taste that made it, to me, barely drinkable.
We will generally refill the water bottles in our …

These French bread rolls from Marks & Spencer are sold individually and are to be found in the bakery section of the store. They are only priced at 25 pence each. These are my all time favourite rolls and are absolutely delicious every time. Marks & …

When I transitioned from my late teens to my 20s, I started to watch what I ate. Sadly, this meant no more deep-fried foods, substituting lean meats for beef, upping my vegetable intake about three times, and watching the amount of sugar I ate. This is sadly …

Baker’s Corner White Frosting comes in a sixteen ounce tub for one dollar and twenty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. This white frosting is about thirty cents cheaper, or more depending on the store, than the name brand white frostings. What’s even better is I can’t taste the …

The new Del Monte Fit n’ Right is advertised with the tag line “Be Fit. Be Firm. Be Fab.” They boast of it as having L-Carnitine which helps burn fat when you drink it.
In a way, this product tastes good, thanks to the flavors of this juice: Apple, Pineapple, …

I buy Aquamar Imitation Crab Meat for my crab salad. A 1.5 lbs plastic bag costs $2.82. As both the name and the price suggest, it is not real crab meat, it is made out of Alaskan Pollock. The taste is close enough to the real thing, maybe a …

I hate to admit this (especially during these “go green” times) that I like to drink bottled water. In fact, you can find me drinking anything from Smart water to Aquafina to grocery store brand water.
Over the summer I worked outside and was constantly drinking water. The water I …

These cornflakes are from The Co-operative’s own brand, called ‘Simply Value’. When I saw this big bag of cornflakes (500g) for only 48 pence I thought it was a bargain. I have been having a big bowl of this for breakfast every morning since and I think …

Everyone in today;s economy seems to be struggling to save money. Why not try to save a little bit on your food budget. That is what my family has done for the past year and we are so happy with the results. We now love generic food, at least …

I had never heard of the “Columbina Cappuccino Millows Marshmallows” until my brother got one of them for me after work as a treat. A single small pretty and white marshmallow with some brown swirls on it came in a small transparent bag, and I do not think that …

I got curious on the advertisement of Cadbury which featured Silk Cadbury so that is why we bought it at a grocery in Hypercity. I really do like Cadbury chocolates and that is one of the reasons why I bought Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk Fruit and Nut variety.
The taste …

I’m not a big fish eater, but every once in a while I find myself craving a tuna fish sandwich. I like them a very particular way, though so I never order them out, I always make them myself. I like salt, pepper and plenty of lemon juice and …

There are so many varieties of American candies on the market why venture out into the unknown world of foreign offerings? There are, however, many reasons! In my experience American candy is often extremely sweet and dense, making it difficult to eat even a single bar without needing to …

These Maryland Chocolate Chip and Hazelnut Cookies are lovely, crumbly biscuits that have been around as long as I can remember. They have a rustic, home-baked look to the biscuit and they are dotted with chocolate chips and bits of hazelnut. Each biscuit is quite chunky but …

Because of my previous–and great–experience with my last Boston Market frozen dinner purchase, I decided to purchase another one from my local super Wal-Mart and this one was one of my favorites: Chicken, broccoli and cheese casserole. I have eaten plenty of Marie Callender’s’ chicken, broccoli and cheese casseroles; …

I was thinking of what to bring for the following day on my son’s field trip, well actually I already have some food ideas in mind but very general. I just thought that I should bring food that is easy and quick to eat, not too messy, would spare …

BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …

The new Magnolia Calamansi (Philippine Lemon) powdered juice that comes in a pack is really a good alternative to bottled juices (ready to drink). I bought one pack good for one liter a while ago in a drugstore, with mini supermarket on my way to work and one pack …

When I started out with a new job, I tend to overwork. I usually have 8 hour work and sometimes I could not even squeeze in to eat anything at all. I feel that sometimes I am near to fainting and the only thing I could do is to …

I tried Pillsbury Gluten Free Thin Pizza Dough because I had a coupon for a free tub of it. I have to say that this product is very different from normal pizza dough. First off when I opened the package the dough was in one lump and …

I am pretty pleased with Mrs. Freshley’s Raspberry Creme Cakes. I find that unlike with some of the other products by this company, like the banana cakes, this creme cake actually has a pretty decent raspberry flavor that I find rather scrumptious - especially after I have just heated …

Sunkist is that brand that has been around for many generations, delivering great tasting orange soda to everyone both young and old. On a steamy day, a ice cold Sunkist goes a long way to quench your thirst and bring a smile to your face.
As I was driving in …

I have tried other pancake mixes, as well as baking mixes. I came back to Bisquick. Bisqick just makes a better pancake, as well as good waffles. I also use bisquick to make bread, cinnamon rolls, bisquits, and any thing else that requires a great dough. My pie crusts …

This chocolate is one of my latest addictions. I have been seeing this chocolate in a lot of supermarkets a few months backs, but I always bypass it. I never thought I would like it. However, while travelling in Namibia, I finally bought 3 pieces of this chocolate …

It was just another sizzling hot summer when I was able to try a unique flavor of ice cream. I rarely seen this pistachio flavor in an ice cream. Weird, but I must say the flavor is real good. In fact, my younger brother who’s not into eating ice …

Due to not having a lot of free time sometimes between work and family activities, I am always on the lookout for quick and simple meals that taste good and are not junk food for those days when I have a lot going on. A friend of mine recommended …

I only recently became acquainted with Tropical Traditions. At first glance, I determined that their coconut oil definitely looked like a superior product, but I wasn’t sure how superior it actually was. I watched a video of how Tropical Traditions makes their coconut oil (without machines, by …

Recently, I tried something new from the Deli department. This was an already prepared item — Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf — so it comes ready to cook in a plastic tray. It was a 1 pound, two ounce serving, so it’s quite a lot. It’s …

I was in the mood for some apple juice this morning. Since I don’t have a way to refrigerate something like that at work, I had to buy juice boxes.
I hate buying most brands because they are always geared toward kids and you don’t get enough juice for your …

I have found that I can enjoy a really good pot pie. I had always thought that meat and pie could not possibly go together, but was wrong when I tried one that a friend of mine made. The last time I went grocery shopping I decided to try …

Have you ever wondered what all those substitutes for cheese, meat, poultry, sausage, ice-cream taste like? I’m not vegan and I’m not dairy-free, but I’ve always wondered whether those things taste legit or not. I might not remember what real beef tastes like, but I do know the taste of …

For me, cooking is a pleasure. I enjoy making different recipes for dishes at home. I especially enjoy making copy cat versions of recipes I eat at restaurants. This is how, I came across La Choy Stir Fry Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade in my neighborhood Kroger. I was initially …

As I mentioned in another review, we decided to make a big dinner last night with lots of side dishes because the pork ribs we made were a bit lean when it came to meat. Since we needed a vegetable everyone in our family would eat (and I was …

I am concerned about keeping my family healthy, as are most mothers. I have been pleased at the deluge of more healthful items available in the regular grocery stores as of late. In particular, I have been very happy with Kellogg’s new organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheat’s cereals.
In …

I am a coffee addict that always loves a great bargain. I had the chance to purchase Folger’s Country Roast coffee for a really low price. I did not expect it to taste so good because it was so cheap. I decided to give it a try anyway and …

The Product
The container is a round gold tin can. The total weight of the product is 180 grams.
This has a signature scent of a Spanish style flavor that is spicy but in a mouthwatering way.
The taste is initially spicy but on the later chew, I could feel the …

Since after having a baby I found out that making and preparing breakfast can be a very exhausting task to do sometimes especially if I have spent ample amount preparing baby food and then at the end of it my baby doesn’t want to eat. Since I started …

I am a bit of a wine fan and I always like to try out the latest offering from my local wine merchant. I reserve the expensive Margaux and Nuits-Saint-Georges for special occasions, so I am not going to be writing about them right now. However, the more popular …

I just tried this cereal not too long ago because the shoppers where I live had a sale on cereal. It’s pretty good. The strawberry taste is very strong. It’s definately different from the other kinds of chex. I love strawberries and almost anything flavored with strawberry but I …

When you say pizza, the only thing in my mind is the name Sbarro. Personally, Sbarro is on of my favorite restaurants specially when it comes to pizza. Every pay day my boy friend and I always go there to have a slice of pizza, pasta and some fresh …

One of my favorite ice creams to eat once in awhile is Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss Ice cream in Naked Coconut. The flavor taste just like fresh coconut milk with shredded coconut throughout it. The texture of the ice cream is very creamy and cold. I usually like …

I made a grilled lemon herb chicken over angel hair pasta. I was a bit apprehensive because sauces made with wine that are already on the shelf have a different flavor than sauces made with fresh wine. In any case, I used this sauce after I …

I like to have some gum on me at all times as not only is it good for freshening my post-cigarette breath but it helps to clean my teeth. Gum acts like a mini mouthwash as it gets your saliva flowing and dislodges bits of food remaining after …
