Roasted Tomato & Olive Oil Triscuits
I am a fan of crackers generally, and since I was a kid, I have loved Triscuits. For health reasons, I usually try to buy whole grain crackers, so that if I am snacking, I am at least not eating high-fat junk food. I try to mix it up …
Great Value Pasta Sauce
I came home last night once again expecting leftovers for dinner. However, my wife apparently had other plans (unlike me, she has no problem throwing out uneaten food every Sunday) and, instead, was making spaghetti and meatballs.
Whenever I make spaghetti, I prefer making my sauce rather than using sauce …
Sam’s Choice (beverages)
Walmart’s generic brand of sodas is called Sam’s Choice. I have tried their flavored beverages, and I still have yet to find one that really closely resembles a major name brand soda. While I can not say that the Sam’s Choice beverages taste bad in any way, …
Coconut Wave Soda from Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart has a brand of soda products that they sell for at least seventy-eight cents. One of the better flavors of this brand of soda is coconut wave. Not only is this flavor sweet and tasting just like coconut, but it’s fizzy and bubbly just like a normal can …
Eating Right Cranberry Almond Bran Cereal
This cereal is good, but it’s just too pricey to purchase unless it’s on sale or there is a coupon for it. It only comes in a thirteen ounce box and Tom Thumb, the only place I’ve seen it, wants over three dollars and fifty cents for a box. …
JBC Happy Peanuts Bigger Nuts Barbeque Flavor
Because my father and I like nuts so much I bought one from the grocery. There are so many health benefits that you can get from nuts like it lowers the risk of heart disease and nut eaters can benefit of five to six years of life free from …
Chex Mix Chex Snack Mix Trail Mix
This trail mix didn’t do much for me. It really doesn’t have very much variety in flavor or texture. There are basically two flavors to this trail mix: sweet and salty. There’s no variation in sweetness, like mildly sweet or super sweet and the same is true concerning the …
Glee Gum
I like to do a lot of hiking in the summertime. While I go hiking it is my habit to chew gum in order to keep my saliva going. I had been trying for quite a while to find a gum that does not have aspartame in it. Then …
Magnum Double Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
I picked up the new Magnum Double Peanut Butter ice cream bars the other day at the store after seeing several adds for it on tv. I am a sucker for anything with peanut butter and chocolate. The cost was $3.99 for a box of 3.
This …
Ma Mon Luk’s Signature Asado Siopao
It was the Chinese New year, but my husband and I still needed to go out for business reasons. When we were cruising along Quezon Avenue, we passed by a restaurant with loud noises coming from the inside. Apparently there was a dragon dance and the place was very …
French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
A couple of days ago, I went to get groceries to our local Walmart late at night, around 11:00 (it was a long day). Perhaps that is why I had managed to find the Great Value version of French vanilla coffee creamer: obviously, the product is so popular that …
Gardenia Ube Cheese Bread
One thing that I noticed with Gardenia, is its being innovative when it comes to their products. The first time I saw Gardenia Ube Cheese Bread I am happy that I never thought that two of my favorite flavor could be combine in bread. Gardenia is great with this …
KFC Gravy
I go to a fastfood on a daily basis for a few months now. Because I am employed in a call center. And as a customer I am fond of ordering fried chicken. What I always take note of is the taste of gravy sauce. I have …
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. …
Lean Cuisine Chicken with Almonds
Now showing: The Case of the Missing Almonds *cue creepy mystery music*…..Lean Cuisine’s website describes Chicken with Almonds meal as: “Chicken tenderloins in a rich soy sauce,topped with sliced almonds and served with a medley of white rice,green beans, yellow carrots and broccoli florets.” It’s part of the Cafe …
Arby’s Large Roast Beef
Arby’s has worked on changing their image for a number of years now, offering more upscale items such as their market-fresh sandwiches and other items. What it all comes down to in my mind though is the roast beef. They’ve always been the place to go for the best …
HP Fruity Sauce
If you’re anything like me you love a bit of sauce with your food. I suppose my favourite it tomato ketchup, but I have now found an alternative, which as well as being a sauce and be used for other things as well.

Ragu Clip it and Pour it Pouch
I’m a big pasta person. And, even though I’m not a huge fan of Ragu spaghetti sauce; I saw a commercial about their clip it and pour it pouches and, being a bit fan of convenience, I figured it would be worth investing in.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.
I …
Edward’s key lime pie
Edward’s Key lime pie is the best I have had since I left Florida. Key lime pie has always been my favorite, but since leaving Florida I have had many bad experiences with places using limes, instead of key limes and there is a big difference. Edward’s is sold …
Betty Crocker Microwave Delights
I love cake and brownies, but I live alone so it’s often a bad idea to cok a whole pan of browniess. I either can’t eat them all, or I try to eat them all which is a slo a horrible idea. Betty Crocker has just come out with …
Smithfield Center Cut 40% Less Fat Bacon
40% lower fat? Jeez, I’d hate to see how fatty the regular Smithfield bacon is! I was really disappointed in this bacon. I had recently watched a “Good Eats” episode on the food network in which Alton Brown went over the different types of bacon and how to cook …
Milka Collage Raspberry, chocolate bar

Farm Rich Cheese Sticks
Fairly crispy and excessively flavorful essentially describes how I feel about the cheese sticks made by Farm Rich. I have no doubt that these cheese sticks would come out crisper if I were to deep fry them - one of the three means of preparing the cheese sticks according …
Kurmura Ladoo Rice ball Sweets
Christmas is just around the corner and giving sweets is one of the main things I wanted to offer for my lovely godchildren and for my beautiful niece. Kids do enjoy eating sweets so I prefer to give them something which is not purely sugar in content so that …
Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Yeast
I’m crazy when it comes to trying out new, weird and unknown foods (though they have to be vegan). I literally spend about 1/4 of my income on Iherb, which is a great website to buy health foods and natural skincare from. I rarely like any of the advertised superfoods, …
Banquet Chicken Pot Pie
I have loved Banquet Chicken Pot Pies since I was a child — at least 45 years I would say. If you have never eaten a Banquet Pot Pie, it is small, just a few inches across, and frozen so it is convenient …
Great Value Sweet & Salty Almond Granola Bars
I purchased these granola bars from Wal-Mart, they are the store brand and I wanted to compare them to the Nature’s Valley Sweet & Salty Granola Bars to see if I’d be able to get the same product for less money. I do not care what the packaging says …
Percol Fairtrade Columbia Arabica Instant Coffee
I had never tried a Percol coffee before today but I am aware of the brand from a rather lovely hot chocolate drink I have tried. This coffee is delicious and just how I like it. It has that fresh, nutty flavour that I associate with Columbian …
7up soda
7up is a softdrinks or a soda that has been around for quite some time already. This soda drink is manufactured by the Pepsi Cola company; What I always remember about this product was that this is not only a soda to be drank as it is, but it …
St. Louis Bread Company Smokehouse Turkey Panini
This is my fourth Panini that I’m trying from Panera. They have a total of five different kinds of Panini on their Signature Hot Panini menu and I was on number four. Unlike the other Panini, which are on thick Italian breads like focaccia and ciabatta, this …
Stouffer’s Chicken Carbonara
Stouffer’s Chicken Carbonara is quite a delicious meal that is even a little filling, and that is pretty surprising since Stouffer’s meals generally do not fill me up too well and I have to prepare additional food as a result to go with the meal and make it more …
Keebler Chips Deluxe Cookies (Mini Rainbow)
I love chocolate and it’s especially hard for me to resist buying things like chocolate muffins and cookies when I go on a diet. For example, the last few times I went to the supermarket and went over the snacks section, I spotted the Keebler Chips Deluxe Mini Rainbow …
Pringles Stix - Vanilla
Although I generally like the flavor of vanilla, I really do not care very much for this variety of the Pringles stixs. The reason I do not care very much for this variety is because the vanilla flavor is not all that rich or noticeable and also, vanilla flavored …

Alexia Garlic Baguette Twin Pack
Some things just go well together. Things like peanut butter and jelly, for one, taste good when eaten separately yet great when enjoyed together. Another example of two things that taste good separately yet much better when paired together is pasta or pizza and garlic bread. Adding garlic bread …
Dasani Water
For many years I have been drinking Dasani water but it was only recently that I discovered why I haven’t been totally satisfied with it. It’s hard not to reach for a cold, bottle of water when I have been thirsty all day and know that there’s nothing like …
Mehari’s cigars
One of the fields the Dutch have had a lead in for centuries is in tobacco products. I went to a school founded on the fortune made by a man who went to Holland to work in that business and who invested his riches in a school he founded …
Carte d’Or lemon ice cream
When I feel like eating a lot of ice cream and I don’t want to spend a lot of money, Carte d’Or is always a good option, as the family size box is cheap compared to other brands.
There are many flavours, and one of them is lemon. This lemon …
Virgin Coconut Oil from Carica Philippines
I have always known that Virgin Coconut Oil has a lot of health benefits but I simply was unable to find a brand that could give me real good tasting one. Most of those I tasted gave me rancid taste that I could not take. One time though, …

The Snack Factory - Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pretzel Crisps
The Snack Factory - Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pretzel Crisps are quite delightful! They are so tasty as is that I do not have any ideas for which they could be improved. I really find the blend of chocolate, peanut butter and salt to be pleasant and enjoyable. I …

San Mig Coffee is definitely one of my favorite coffee brands. I first tried San Mig Coffee last year when I saw it at our neighborhood grocery store. I was surprised to see how cheap it was compared to other brands of instant coffee. It tastes so delicious, the …

Baileys Coffee Pods - Original and Mocha
So, a coffee pod company has teamed up with Baileys to produce a flavoured coffee pod that is compatible with Nespresso coffee machines. Nespresso compatible coffee pods with a hint of original Irish cream flavour sound delectable, but they are actually a little disappointing in my opinion. I made …
L’oven Fresh Caramel Shortbread and Almond Sugar Cookies
The L’oven Fresh Caramel Shortbread and Almond Sugar Cookies come in a circular platter at ALDI Food Market stores for three dollars and ninety-nine cents. The platter consists of two “sections”.
