Eating Right Butternut Squash Ravioli Frozen Dinner
Eating Right is one of my favorite brands of frozen dinners for watching my weight. When I have a week of unhealthy eating habits, I will eat 3 of their meals a day over the weekend, and I usually feel much better and healthier. It is a …
Ben and Jerry’s NY Super Fudge Chunk
Last weekend I went to S&R Supermarket to buy grocery items. So in cruising the frozen items, I saw the Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream in NY Fudge. There are other flavours and brands in the ice cream department but I chose to purchase this instead. This comes in …
Marks and Spencer French Bread Rolls
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 & …
Dole’s Cherry Mixed indivual fruit snack
When I was working most of the time I liked to take my lunch with me, especially during the winter when I didn’t want to face the cold. I like a variety of foods, and when I would pack my lunch I would like to eat a snack along …
Bacon Cheddar Ranch Fries from Checkers
I have tried many kinds of French fries from fast food joints, and I don’t think any can really compare to Checkers Bacon Cheddar Ranch French Fries. They are so tasty and cooked fresh right when ordered so that I can enjoy freshly cooked fries fully loaded with a …
Meijer brand Monterey Pepper Jack Cheese
I’m a bit of a cheeseaholic. I simply can’t get enough. I don’t really care for the highly ‘fake’ cheeses, like Velveeta, cheese spreads in jars, or liquid cheeses. I do love any kind that comes in a brick that I can cut into chunks and …
Eskimo Pie Snack Size Ice Cream Bars
Eskimo Pies have been around forever, well, since 1921 anyway, and that’s longer than I’ve been on this Earth, so it’s like forever to me. Recently, they came out with a new snack size product.
Eskimo Pie Snack Size Ice Cream Bars is a box of twelve individual bars. …
Voortman Blueberry Turnover Soft Cookies
Voortman Turnover Soft Cookies are one of my favorite kinds of cookies. I usually purchase the strawberry flavored ones, but this week decided to try the blueberry flavored ones. These cookies are delicious, soft cookies with a dollop of fruit flavored jelly in the middle of them. The jelly …
Fresh Express Lettuce Trio
This is my favorite bagged lettuce from Fresh Express. The reason it’s my favorite is actually pretty simple and can be attributed to one thing: no carrots! Now I like carrots and I add carrots to mt salad because I feel that carrots bring both flavor and vitamins to …
Cold Stone Creamery
Cold Stone Creamery in my opinion beats Baskin Robbins or any store-bought variety of ice cream any day. I first discovered it six years ago when I heard people at my camp talking about it. When there was an outing to go see …
Stouffer’s Classic Italian Deli
Stouffer’s Classic Italian Deli is a fairly light yet relatively flavorful sandwich that I like to have for lunch every now and then. This is not a heavy or a rich sandwich, but it is nonetheless enjoyable. Both pepperoni and salami can be found, along with provolone and mozzerella …
Sara Lee Gourmet White Hot Dog Buns
This brand is just everywhere now so it’s of little surprise to me that one of the products I’m now purchasing with some regularity is Sara Lee Gourmet White Hot Dog Buns. On the plus side, there aren’t any artificial colors or flavors, and there’s no trans fat …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Neapolitan
I will not be purchasing Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Neapolitan a second time because all three flavors that are a part of this triple combination are really quite bland compared to their premium ice cream counterparts. The vanilla is not nearly as good as the all-natural vanilla, the …
McCormick Vanilla Extract
I love to cook desserts. I like to create desserts even when it’s not the holidays. You will be surprised at how many good recipes call for vanilla extract. I’ve tried several brands of vanilla extract but none compare to McCormick Vanilla Extract.
When I take the …
Dove Milk Chocolate
Everyone I know will tell you that I am a junk food junkie. If there is sugar in it I will eat it! I can tell you what cupcakes taste the best, icecream,candy etc…Even at the local supermarket bakery I can tell you which cake is the best. So …
Angel Delight Dessert
A lot of my friends have a soft spot for Angel Delight as we are all the same age and remember it from our childhoods. I had not eaten any since the late 1980s but I recently treated myself to some. Angel Delight is no gourmet mousse …
Tanduay Superior
Rums have always been among the more common drinks available almost everywhere. Among the rums we know of today is Tanduay Superior. Tanduay Superior is a twelve-year-old rum manufactured by La Tondeña, a Philippine rum maker.
I, personally, rate the quality of a drink through its aftertaste. When I first …
Little Bites Blueberry Muffins
It is a shame that the Little Bites Blueberry Muffins are not slightly more moist and fresh as well as rich in blueberry flavor as the Little Debbie variety because these little muffins are quite the ideal size for snacking while on the go! The size is perfect, but …
Pumpkin Flavored Ice Cream from Edy’s
There are many flavors of ice cream, and at first, the thought of Pumpkin flavored ice cream did not at all appeal to me. I am not a person who really likes pumpkin flavor at all, but in all honesty, the Pumpkin flavored ice cream from Edy’s was not …
Dairy Queen French Fries
I don’t know much about how Dairy Queen French Fries are prepared, but they are closer to what I like than many other fast food places are. I am someone who really loves a good side order of French fries, or if I get a combo meal it …
Parade Cotton Candy
One of the bests things about carnivals and fairs is the cotton candy. I just love it to pieces. Unfortunately, I don’t get to attend those events often, which means enjoying cotton candy has been almost nonexistent. A few months ago, though, I saw an offering online …
Nestle’s Stixx
I looked in my mailbox one day last week and was delighted to find a small package. Like the song from “Sound of Music” says, “brown paper packages tied up with string” are among my favorite things.
The package contained Nestle’s Stixx, which was a new product launched in …
Kroger bagels are Yummy for Breakfast
I really like the fresh blueberry bagels from my local Kroger bakery. They are just the right combination of soft and chewy.
The reason they are so good is that I can eat them straight from the package or toast them with a little butter. Since mornings are always so …
Baskin Robbins ice cream cakes
Ice cream cakes were all the rage when they first came out about ten years ago. I’m just surprised it took them so long to come out with an ice cream cake. If you’ve never had ice cream cake or never even heard of it then you’ve either been …
Pirie South 2007 Sauvignon Blanc
This sauvignon blanc is a great little wine to try. I have a particular fondness for summery sauvignon blancs as I like the natural floral citrus flavor. It is a crisp wine that leaves a zesty lime taste in your mouth. It complements a wide variety of foods spicy …
Taco Bell Five Layer Burrito
As of recently, there has been an ongoing promotion for Taco Bell’s five layer burrito. Taco Bell is on my list of favorite fast food places to go, but I tend to stick to the simple foods on the menu: Cinnamon twists, soft supreme tacos, nacho supremes, gordita supreme, …
Tesco Chocolate birthday cake
I bought Tesco chocolate cake during the birthday party of my child. I don’t really have much time to prepare or make a cake so I decided to just buy something from Tesco supermarket instead. This chocolate birthday cake looks good to me and they even put …
Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil
One of the nice things about Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil is that I can heat up the pasta right in the bag. That is right - no need to dirty a dish for this pasta creation! Preparation could not possibly be easier - just stick in …
Kirk’s Macaroni Pie
When I began to work across the road there is a person named Kirk who sells food daily, only from about 11am at the earliest to 2pm at the latest. He brings freshly cooked food and it is usually stuff you yourself would make at home. Unless it is …
Entenmann’s 8 Crumb Donuts
I was moderately impressed with Entenmann’s 8 Crumb Donuts. This is essentially a coffee cake made into a donut. The donut is on the crunchy side and features cinnamon baked into the crumb topping. This is a unique donut creation that I have not seen before. I personally feel …
Stars and Stripes Soda in Pineapple Flavor
I was at a friend’s BBQ several months back when I had the opportunity to try a new kind of soda called “Stars and Stripes”. I really enjoyed the pineapple soda that I had and I was very curious as to where she had gotten these sodas. …
General Mills - Chocolate Chex
General Mills - Chocolate Chex is a cereal that did very little for me. I did not necessarily purchase this cereal for the purpose of having it for breakfast because I do not like chocolate for breakfast, really. It does not settle well in my stomach. I purchased this …
Hamburger Helper Lasagna mix
If you are not familiar with Hamburger Helper, it is a line of skillet dinner-mixes that are made by the Betty Crocker company. Hamburger Helper comes in a number of different flavors, including this Lasagna flavor.
One of the …
Cousin’s Chili
I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.
But, I tried their chili last night and have to say I wasn’t very impressed with it.
I picked it up looking for something warm to …
Lasco Tin Mackerel in Chunky Tomato Sauce
While I’m not a huge lover of tinned foods, especially tin fish, I don’t mind the occasional tin mackerel especially if it’s prepared properly and it has a particular texture. Most recently, I’ve discovered that the “Lasco Mackerel Chunky in Tomato Sauce” is one of the brands of tin …
Syfo Tangerine Orange Sparkling Water
Recently I have been trying to reduce my consumption of diet soft drinks. Therefore, I have been trying flavored waters. I have found a couple that I like quite a bit, but they are more expensive than I would like for them to be. Accordingly, I …
Shoppers Doughnuts
The shoppers near us has doughnuts that we can get. I believe they are 12 for about $5.00 or so. We can sometimes get them already in a box for about $3.00. You get to pick which ones you want. They are large doughnuts that you get.
They have …
Ginger Tea
When there are days that I find myself having bits of constipation or unable to break wind, I would opt for Ginger Tea. This is one of the best solutions ever and do not ever take for granted the best usage of Ginger Tea.
Yes, the taste is not …
Low Sodium V8 100% Vegetable Juice
I have been a fan of V8 vegetable juice for as long as I can remember. Until recently, however, I did not drink it very often as I am trying to lower my intake of sodium. But then I discovered that they now offer a low-sodium version of their …
Nicies Fruit Punch Drink
I was not aware that the brand “Nicies” that makes a popular banana chips her also made drinks until recently, as I was only familiar with their more popular product. When I saw it selling in a small shop my curiosity was increased, and I decided that I was …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes
I found these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes to be pretty average in flavor. If you have ever had a regular yellow cake before, you know that the flavor is inherently none too impressive, but it can make for a light and fluffy snack that does not spike …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookie
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookie is certainly superior to the original chocolate chip cookie variety that is also made by Blue Bunny. This is actually a little different from the chocolate chip variety because with this ice cream, there are actually bits and pieces of chocolate …
Ling Ling Potstickers
We made some Chinese food the other day and, because I wasn’t sure if what we purchased would be enough, I stopped off at the store and purchased a package of Ling Ling Potstickers to go with it.
I should have saved my money.
Normally, I like potstickers (basically a pasta …
Great Value Fruit Cocktail
I bought a can of Great Value Fruit Cocktail despite my husband’s warning that this brand was not so good as our favorite Del Monte. But Great Value is considerably cheaper, so I thought I would give it a try. The fruit cocktail consists of diced pears, peaches, pineapple, …
Mrs. Freshley’s Valentine’s Day: Chocolate Mini Donuts
Here is yet another disappointing mini-chocolate donut treat. Mrs. Freshley’s Valentine’s Day: Chocolate Mini Donuts maintains the unfortunate trend that there is no such thing as a tasty miniature chocolate donut. I do not know what it is about mini-chocolate donuts, but the chocolate never tastes good to me …
Slim Jim: Tabasco-Flavored
I came across Tabasco-flavored Slim Jims in a gas station one day. I love Slim Jims and I always get one or two long sticks of original when I can. I had never tried their Tabasco-flavored model before, and I was actually looking forward to seeing how it tasted. …
Ghiradelli 60% Chocolate Squares
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 …
Honey Nut Crunch SunButter
Do you like trying new foods? Do you have a family that loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Are you into healthy items and do you want your children to have the best? If you can answer all these questions with a yes, then you have to try Honey …
Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White Bread
When you live in the Gulf Coast of the US (or even more specifically for me, Southeast Texas) you come to realize bread is important. From Poboys to Muffalatas and everything in between there is a “sandwich culture” here like you wouldn’t believe. That being said, you still can …
Smarties Nestle
I really like almost all Nestle products and I think that this company is very good.
Smarties are chocolate sweets and they are all in different colours, when I was kid I liked them a lot and I still like them now because they taste perfect when they melt in …
