Fit & Active Cinna-Swirl Drizzled Mini Crisps
The Fit & Active Cinna-Swirl Drizzled Mini Crisps come in a four point five ounce bag and retail for just under two dollars. They aren’t that cheap when one takes into consideration the size of the bag, and if these crisps were just average tasting, I wouldn’t consider them …
Conching: Rosquillos
Its been a long time since I ate a true “Pinoy” food; Luckily as I went through some biscuits at the “snack section” of the Mercury Drug Store, I found a Rosquillos Biscuits. This is a simple biscuit made from sugar, wheat flour, margarine, and eggs. I missed the …
Campbell’s Chunky Jazzy Jambalaya soup
Continuing onward with my daily lunchtime soup odyssey, we have the next big member in the Campbell’s Chunky “starting line” of soups (AKA the official soup of the NFL, whatever the heck that means.) This time up, I’ve got in the lunch pail Campbell’s Chunky Soup Jazzy Jambalaya, our …
Whataburger Spicy Ketchup
Yep, it’s spicy…and… it’s ketchup. Thank-you-and-goodnight, review done Ha! But, seriously let’s have a closer look.
The now familiar “deep-dish” plastic packets of heat you stuffed in your paper burger bags by the fistful are now available in a much more generous (and economical) bottle size. That’s the first …
Oscar Mayer Hearty Thick Cut Bacon
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 …
HoMade Tea Biscuits
Like Shirley biscuits, I can remember that these tea biscuits have been around since I was a little girl. I used to like them at first, but my parents bought them a lot for me to snack on and for lunch so that after a while I got very …
Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo and Garlic Bread
I typically like microwave/oven made meals so I decided to try Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo with Garlic Bread. I was really not pleased with this product.
I removed the plastic cover expecting to taste delicious noodles, tender veggies and flavorful garlic bread. The vegetables were sparse in quantity and lacked …
Nescafe Tasters Choice Instant Coffee
Nescafe Tasters Choice Instant coffee is some of the best tasting instant coffee you can buy. I personally prefer my coffee roasted, but in a pinch instant will do. I have tried many different brands and always end up coming back to Tasters Choice. It has a very nice …
Tysons Anytizers Honey BBQ Chicken Wings
Up until a few months ago I had never thought of buying any of Tyson’s line of appetizer foods they call “anytizers”. However, back in January I got a buy one get one free coupon in my local newspaper so my hubby and I decided to have a …
Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil
Although the Starkist brand has been around now for quite some time, I honestly do not understand what the appeal is. I do not think the company makes particularly good canned tuna fish, and the Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil is as good of an example as …
Kroger Bakery - Apple
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 …
Wonder Bread
When you are a child and you are thinking about bread, which really doesn’t happen too much since children aren’t really thinking about bread all that much only when you’re hungrying for a sandwich, I think that Wonder Bread is the first one to come to mind. It may …
Lo-Carb Monster Energy Drink
Lately I’ve been finding myself waking up sluggish and my internal engine doesn’t quite turn over. I can only drink coffee occasional, so I’ve found myself starting my day with a muffin and a Lo-Carb Monster Energy drink.
I drink the 16 ounce can which is supposed to be two …
Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo - Chipotle
Recently, I got brave and tried out a new product: Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo - Chipotle flavor. They actually have four new sandwich spreads, the others being hot and spicy, horseradish - Dijon, and garlic & herb. I ended up with two flavors, so in the future …
Betty Crocker Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Betty Crocker Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes are a really easy side dish to make. I just put water on to boil, then pour in the contents of the pouch to moisten them and then let them sit! They are so super easy and fast to make.
Betty Crocker Four Cheese …
Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee
I cannot live without coffee. I am a coffee drinker and as far as I know, I have tried already different brands of coffee especially if new to my eyes and to my taste. Eversince I started working, drinking coffee becomes my habit and a part of my working …
Kohinoor Basmati Rice
I like the presence of rice most in my meal. In fact, I belong to an area which is the best in the production of rice. Nowadays, when I am shifted to the metro, there obviously I cannot hope to get rice from my native place.
The solution is in …
Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Aged Cheddar Cheese
Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Aged Cheddar Cheese is something that I used to snack on and have with sandwiches before I discovered Sun Chips. After I found, tried and loved Sun Chips, I never felt a desire to purchase these again. That is because the Sun Chips …
Mother dairy cheese blocks
I have tried many kind of mother dairy company food products before and I also liked most of them. But this was for the first time that I had tried the mother dairy branded cheese blocks. Actually I have a great interest in cooking. And I …
Walker’s Steak and Onion Crisp
Visiting the UK brought me many new experiences, including new foods and beverages. I was surprised at just how differently our cultures eat! One thing seems to be universal though, chips. I am referring to what we call potato chips—“ they call them “crisps”
My partner brought …
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs are a little costly, but they are very good. I don’t know how it is done, but each hotdog is filled with thick cheese sauce that comes out when you bite into it. The mix of hotdog and melted cheese tastes great; there is just …
MyCokeRewards .com
MyCokeRewards is probably the best product rewards program I have ever seen.
Coca-Cola products come with a code that can be entered into the mycokerewards.com website after joining.
The point system is easy. Twenty ounce (marked) bottles have a code under the caps that are worth 3 points …
Tastee Cheddar Cheese
“Tastee Cheddar Cheese” is possibly the most popular brand of cheese which is bought in my country Jamaica. It may be sold in big, medium or small tins as well as by slices in most shops and supermarkets. A few years ago, the company even released Tastee Cheddar Cheese …
Hormel Italian Style Beef Roast
Quite honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was buying when I purchased Hormel Italian Style Beef Roast recently. I bought it because it’s a quick cook item from Hormel, a company I trust and from who I tend to like their products more often than not. Maybe …
Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum
I have tried various types and flavors of chewing gum. One of such gum is Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum. While at first site the package would imply that the gum is for blowing bubbles, however, it is really just the flavor of classic bubble gum. In …
Folgers Classic Decaf
Folgers Classic Decaf is naturally decaffeinated coffee, with rich tasty flavor that is almost no different from regular Folgers. I have no idea how they managed to get the caffeine out of coffee and still have it tasting like coffee, but they did it. I know some coffee addicts …
Bake and Churn’s Ice Cream Cakes
We often go to Robinson Supermarket to buy groceries and other stuffs and we always see this Bake and Churn Ice Cream Cake’s stall at the entrance part of the supermarket. I never tried buying any of these ice cream cakes because I thought to myself …
Mr. Pudding - Chocolate
I’ve only come across this brand of pudding at ALDI, but don’t feel too bad if you don’t have an ALDI near you and are unable to purchase this pudding because it’s a little below average as far as pre-made pudding snacks go. For just eighty-nine cents, these pudding …
Rankin Irish Potato Farls
I spotted these potato —˜farls’ in Tesco at a reduced price of only 20p, reduced from the usual price of 81p. I have never eaten a farl before but I like trying new food and these sounded tempting as on the wrapper it says they are great toasted …
Bake and Churn (Robinsons Metro East)
This is not actually a restaurant, it is just a small stall or cart but their products are surprisingly delicious. So what I’m going to review now is their ice cream cakes that I love. (And it will be also your must add this to your “must try” list.)
Bake …
Svenhard’s Cinnamon Rolls
Since 1893, Svenhard’s has been making pastries. Since I was a little girl, my family has been buying their cinnamon rolls. Of course, the price has skyrocketed over the years, so I don’t buy them very much every more. There was a time, though, when my family …
Great Value Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies
Great Value Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies are sold in a clear plastic box that is placed inside plastic wrapping. Each cookie has chocolate fudge on it: one side is covered completely, and the other has several thin stripes. The cookies themselves are not very thick, either. When it comes …
Polos
I have probably bought more packets of Polos than any other mints because I like the way they are minty enough to freshen my breath and at the same time because they are sweet, they taste good. I also like the way the Polo mint has an iconic …
Cadbury Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream
I’ve always loved the Cadbury brand of chocolate, so when I noticed Cadbury also made ice cream I was curious to see whether or not it was as good as their chocolate products. The Cadbury Ice Cream was labelled as “Creamy Vanilla” which I thought sounded very …
Stash Premium Chai Spice Black Tea
I really love tea. I love the way it tastes, I love the way it feels to sit with a cup of tea and just relax or the way that having it to go allows me to bring some comfort of home into the outside world. I’m sure you …
Kirkland Signature Bottle Water
I love Kirkland Signature bottled water from Costco. However, you do have to buy an annual membership to Costco to get it.
Living in Las Vegas in 112-degree summers, you drink a lot of liquids. I will drink 1-2 cases of bottled water a week, most …
Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles Roast Chicken flavor
If you are not familiar with Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle meals, they are basically a pasta based meal that does not require refrigeration and that can be prepared in the microwave. Yakisoba noodles are similar to ramen noodles.
I recently bought a number of the Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle meals when …
Pamelas Gluten Free Bread mix and Flour Blend
If you have ever tried gluten free bread this review is for you. I have found that most gluten-free bread has very little taste, is as dry as a bone, and these are the good points. The idea of making a sandwich is a joke, you place meat or …
Mountain Dew Kickstart
As someone who downs at least two energy drinks a day, I would consider myself something of an expert on the various brands of caffeinated canned beverages. Mountain Dew’s Kickstart is a refreshing change of pace from the energy drinks we’ve all become accustomed to. Say goodbye to …
Hotpockets: Philly Cheesesteak Flavor
Hotpockets offer a quick and delicious meal to students or parents on the run and they take just a minute to heat up in the microwave which is simple enough for anyone to do. The philly cheesesteak flavor is one that I recently tried and enjoyed because it was …
Hershey’s Drops - Cookies ‘n’ Creme
Branded as ‘New!’ at the top left of the package, this little bag of sweets called out to me. Being an avid lover of the Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme chocolate bars, I felt that anything with, well, cookies and cream, couldn’t go wrong. So I bought it.
On the package …
Colman’s of Norwich cottage pie recipe mix
I’ve just recently tried this recipe mix which I’ve bought from Tesco supermarket, the Colman’s of Norwich mix in making any sort of cottage pie, in my case I used it in mixing the vegetarian cottage pie that I’ve made at home. In fairness, the mixture did …
Hong Kong City Fried Rice
One evening I went to the mall with my grandparents and while at the food court they decided they wanted Chinese food, so I went along with the “crowd” if you want to call it that and decided I would get Chinese food too. Besides, my grandad was sponsoring! …
Jell-o Gelatin - Peach/Watermelon
Jell-o Gelatin - Peach/Watermelon is yet another delightfully delicious treat that is a part of the wonderfully amazing Jell-o Gelatin product line.

Fruit Juice Sticks candy
Some time ago before my brother went on his summer holidays, I was waiting for him to finish classes and since I was feeling a little on the peckish side, I ended up buying a fairly cheap and unusual candy to snack on meanwhile. The name of it that …
Nestle Cocoa
I am a chocolate lover as long as I can remember. Nestle Tollhouse Cocoa satisfies that chocolate desire in me. This is a cocoa powder that I have used for baking chocolate cake and drinks. The flavor is strong and may be modified by the amount of teaspoons …
Kraft Deli Fresh Slices Natural Swiss - 40ct
For the first time, I recently purchased Kraft Deli Fresh Slices in the Natural Swiss style to primarily go along with sandwiches I like to make. This was a large package with a count of 40 slices which cost me roughly $7.98 at Sam’s Club. The pricing …
