Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowl
I love Orville Redenbacher’s and I love new gimmicks when it comes to snack foods so I didn’t need any convincing to try the new Pop Up microwavable bowls that came out last year. I was turned on by the thought of less clean up and I thought it …
Gelatelli Chocolate ice cream
I really like going to Lidl shops because there you can find a lot of stuff of unpopular brands which doesn’t cost much. I like Lidl stuff because they are usually very good although they aren’t pricey. I went to Lidl yesterday and I bought a whole bunch of …
Del Monte Sweet Blend Tomato Ketchup
Del Monte is my favorite brand to use whether it’s for making spaghetti, being used for hotdogs, french fries, meatballs, eggs, or spam. It has a sweet blend taste with doesn’t make it all sour and bitter like fresh tomatoes do, and it does make perfect sauce for a …
HEALTH:LET US TALK ABOUT COKE
I like to drink diet Pepsi sometimes, but, I am revising my thinking on just how safe THAT is.
Did you realize that in order for the big trucks to carry concentrated coke, they must do it in a hazzardous materials truck, signed as such? O.K. so, maybe you think …
Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This ice cream by Ben and Jerry’s sounded delectable. Normally I find regular cheesecake very rich, and I figured it would be even more so as an ice cream. Still, I wanted to try it. I love the way Ben and Jerry’s makes their ice cream, and I really …
Hostess Donettes - Chocolate
These Hostess Donettes - Chocolate variety are downright terrible! The chocolate flavor that coats these donuts really does not taste like chocolate at all! What happened to the rich and delicious chocolate used for the Hostess Cupcakes, Suzy Q’s, Ding Dongs and similar products? This chocolate tastes like some …
Betty Crocker Authentic Cornbread & Muffin Mix
I’ve written a review in the past for Marie Callender’s Cornbread and it is yummy, but I saw this one recently and decided to give it a try. Overall, I have to give Betty Crocker Authentic Cornbread & Muffin Mix a good review. One of the reasons …
Pizza Hut Star Pops
Just a couple of months ago, I learned about Star Pops from a commercial. I do buy Pizza most of the time as a treat for my family whenever I received my paycheck. It is always a party at home whenever I bring home Pizza. I do bring two …
Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownie Mix
My sister-in-law and I were trying a couple of brownie mixes, and we had already tried Betty Crocker’s Hershey’s Supreme Brownie Mix with Walnuts, and they were the most delicious fudge walnut brownies I have tasted in my life and get this —“they’re only a mix and that delicious …
Campbell’s Tomato Soup
Campbell’s recently changed its Healthy Request Tomato Soup. The older version had reduced salt and reduced sugar. The newer version is advertised as 98% fat free and 30% less sodium. Either variety is quite tasty. I usually cannot stand canned soup of any variety. Campbell’s Health Request Tomato Soup …
Jaffa Cakes biscuits
When I was little I adored Jaffa cookies but my parent weren’t buying them often because they weren’t very fond of them. Then, when I grew little bit older and I started getting my alowence it was impossible to find Jaffa Cakes biscuits anywhere. Then a few years after …
Lindt Excellence 85% cocoa
I know that the healthiest chocolate is the one that has highest percentage of cocoa in it but I got Lindt Excellence 85% cocoa for Christmas and I really couldn’t eat it. The fact is that it tastes like dirt. I understand that this chocolate is not one of …
Keebler Fudge Shoppe Fudge Sticks
I always saw Keebler’s Fudge Shoppe Fudge Sticks staring at me when I went to the grocery store and being a chocolate lover it sorta taunted me for a while. I finally gave in one day and decided to buy a package of this sweet treat and leave some …
Nutella Single (FerreroRocher)
»Nutella« is possibly the most widespread and most beloved among of the products of the Italian company Ferrero Rocher. It is certainly long-lived, too: it was originally invented in 1949. It is a creamy »chocolate-hazelnut« (the description varies, depending on each country’s laws about advertising) spread that many like …
Post Honey Bunches of Oats
Post Honey Bunches of Oats is a cereal that doesn’t excite me all that much when I sit down to have it in the morning with milk or at another time, as a snack. It’s an okay cereal that manages to rise other cereals down the cereal aisle because …
Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream
Ben and Jerry’s is an ice cream brand that you’ve probably heard of and have even tried. They’re known for homemade ice cream that is pretty eccentric, not just in name but in flavor as well. They’re probably the most creative brand of ice cream out there. One of …
Peanut Butter&Co White Chocolate Wonderful
Lately I’ve been on a hunt for a perfect, smooth peanut butter for my toasts and snacks. Jif Peanut Butter is probably one of my favourites because of its relatively clean ingridients list and the low price. But even when I’m in love with a certain food, I don’t stop …
Cousin’s Meatball Subs
A couple days ago, I was in the mood for a meatball sub. Normally, I get these at Subway but Cousin’s was on the way home so I stopped their instead.
It was OK, but I think I still prefer Subway’s version.
I’m a huge Cousin’s fan, mostly because they do …
Special K’s Original Cereal
I bought this cereal thinking that it was a healthy source of fiber, protein, and along with the added vitamins and nutrients that make up a complete breakfast. However, I was misled because if you look at the nutrition facts, it does not have any fiber. The …
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 …
Splendid Self Rising Flour
I have always used all purpose flour when cooking and baking. When ever I found myself needing self rising flour I would use all purpose flour with the perfect amount of baking powder to make up for the self rising flour.
Well I actually got around to using Splendid’s …
Tuna Helper Cheesy Pasta flavor
A product of the Betty Crocker company, Tuna Helper is similar to the Hamburger Helper line of boxed skillet meals. The main difference is that Tuna Helper is designed to incorporate tuna instead of ground beef into a casserole-style dish.
Recently, I have been purchasing a variety of the …
Jack in the Box: Sirloin Burger
The new Jack in the Box Sirloin Burger is just great. I had one the other day for lunch and it has got to be one of the best steak burgers I have ever had. It was very good and juicy. The burger was fresh and still warm when …
McCain Seasoned Oven Fries
Do you like those curly fries they serve at Arbie’s or Hardee’s? I do, and I have recently found a product that allows to make them at home. McCain Seasoned Oven Fries come in a 26 oz sealed bag. The frozen fries are cut in spirals, with skin on, …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
Del Monte tomato sauce is something I would normally buy during my weekly trips to the grocery. I love making tomato dishes and i would normally cook tomato based foods at least three times a week. Del Monte Tomato Sauce has the right blend of spices and the tomato …
Michelina’s Santa Fe Style Rice and Beans
One day, I was looking for something to eat that was light—”something that would go well with an ordinary fried piece of chicken. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized that this was a “Lean Gourmet” kind of meal. This means that …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Oreo
Oreo Sandwich cookies hold a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. You can dip em, break them apart, share them or just eat them as they are. Every now and then I find myself picking up a packet or two of Oreos, when …
Halta whipped cream on vegetable base 1L
I like Halta whipped cream because it comes in 1L brick, you can open the brick, use the dosage of the cream you need and put the brick back in the fridge for a few more days until you need it again. You actually get a very dense liquid …
Linolada chocolate milk cream
I don’t usually buy Linolada because it is quite expensive and I prefer Nutella because it has much better taste. But the other day I went to the shop and I saw these small Linolada packs and I couldn’t resist. I must say that i really don’t know when …
Tripel Karmeliet, Belgium beer
Living in Belgium has a huge advantage to compensate the high taxes: BEER. There are over 600 types of trappist beers in Belgium but I will talk only about one of them which very fast became my favorite. I have documented a bit about it’s history, and I have …
Kettle Chips: New York Cheddar
Yum yum!! When I don’t want barbeque I so head for New York Cheddar. Most of the time. I love the tangy cheese that tastes like real sharp cheddar instead of the weird cheeselike orange powder one can find elsewhere. The chips are perfectly cooked too …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites
I am not so crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites. Although they are decent, I personally prefer the frosted chocolate cupcakes that are made by Mrs. Freshley’s compared with these. I guess I just find these brownie bites to be somewhat dull in the flavor. There …
Dare Bear Paws - Chocolate Chip
Although maybe not the best choice for a snack nutrition wise, I love these cookies, and my kids always ask for them when we are at the store.
Price wise they are a fairly good deal, and I can usually get them on sale for less than two dollars. The …
Keebler Shortbread Fudge Drops cookies
I ran into these cookies, almost literally at my work, and they caught my attention almost immediately. I picked the package up to get a closer look. I was like wow shortbread cookies with a creamy fudge center. Sounds good.
I have always been a big fan …
Hershey’s: Rich Chocolate Special Dark Syrup
Hershey’s: Rich Chocolate Special Dark Syrup is not quite as good as the regular chocolate syrup, but I did not feel as if my money was wasted on this syrup, so that is always a good thing. It really comes down to preference, I suppose. Dark chocolate is something …
Food Club Garlic Bread
As I mentioned in another review, my wife decided to make spaghetti for dinner last night. While cooking dinner, she remembered we had a loaf of Food Club Garlic Bread in our freezer and asked me to make this for her.
This was the first time I have had this …
Cinnamon Crunch Bagels
If you have never been to Panera Bread, there is one item worth stopping for. Actually, there are several amazing treats and sandwiches available at Panera, and I have always been more than satisfied. The bagels are always fresh as is all of the bread and produce. …
Hostess Green Lantern GloBalls
Hostess Green Lantern GloBalls are really, really sweet! This is perhaps one of the sweetest and most sugary snacks that Hostess has ever come up with. There’s marshmallow, there’s coconut, there’s a rich and creamy center and there’s chocolate too. This is one snack cake that is absolutely loaded, …
Melody Chocolate
After parle’s coffee bite melody chocolate is the one that I like in taste. It has a nice chocolaty taste, its not too sweet, and not too chocolaty either, the taste is just fine for my likes. Plus it is soft, and its not hard and crunchy. I don’t …
Nestea Iced Tea 50% Less Sugar
When I started dieting, I thought juice or iced tea are not really fattening. The idea that its a beverage and it does not contain carbohydrates or fats is the foremost thinking I had. I was naive and ignorant that the reason why carbohydrates is fattening is because the end …
Fruit2day Strawberry Orange
I normally do not like commercials and do not run out to buy things because I saw them on TV, but that is exactly what I did with this Fruit2day product. I did not make a special trip, but when I was at the grocery store with money …
Nature Valley’s Maple Brown Sugar Crunchy Granola Bar
I would like to tell you a little about my impression of the Nature Valley’s Maple Brown Sugar Crunchy Granola Bar. I have eaten it recently and I can sum up my experience in two words: healthy and tasty!
Please let me start this review by discussing a little the …
Banquet Frozen Dinner Turkey with mashed potatoes and peas
I purchased this frozen dinner, what would have been called a “tv dinner” when I was a kid out of a fit of nostalgia. My husband was out of town and I wanted to relive a taste from my youth. The brand I remember from childhood did …
Knorr Bean soup with pasta
My mother never used to make bean soups when I was little so I never had the opportunity to eat nor to get used to it. Actually she was preparing something like minestrone with beans but never a bean soup so when my friend offered me to try Knorr …
Dominos Philly Cheesesteak Pizza
I usually try to avoid ordering pizza; primarily because of the cost and because it isn’t really the healthiest thing my family can be eating.
However, ever since Dominos brought back their Philly Cheesesteak pizza, I’m ordering from them much more than usual.
The thing I like about the pizza is …
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in box
I love the taste of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. Kraft Macaroni and cheese is sold in a box with the pasta and a cheese package. Depending on the store that I go to I usually pay between around a …
Doritos Cool Ranch Flavored Tortilla Chips
Just Saturday, me and a few other people decided that we were going to spend the day somewhere and practice our art techniques so that our portfolios would be good enough to be accepted into a good art institution. We realised that we would need some food to snack …
Betty Crocker Scooby-Doo Fruit Snacks
I’m kind of a fruit snack fanatic. So when I saw these Scooby-Doo themed Betty Crocker fruit snacks at my local grocery store, I just had to try them (because everything tastes better in shapes, right?). They come in a box of ten pouches, with about 8 fruit snacks …
