Atkinson’s Long Boys
Atkinson’s Long Boys were a new type of candy for me, though not for the rest of the world. These candies have been around for at least 60 years, but I had never heard of them before. I’m the type of person who loves to try new things no …
Del Monte Sliced Peaches
My husband and I like Del Monte canned fruit, we have tried almost every variety there is. Sliced peaches, however, turned out to be not as good as I expected. I love fresh peaches, and as I said I have enjoyed other Del Monte canned fruit, so I thought …
Wrigley’s Orbit Complete Sugar Free Chewing Gum

Willie’s Homemade Peanut Ice Cream

Great Value Instant Garlic Butter Potatoes

Jose Ole Mini Tacos
I love tacos, but don’t like the mess involved with making them from scratch, and I just don’t get to Taco Bell as frequently as I’d like. I’ve tried various products in the past to try and satisfy my taco cravings, but Jose Ole Mini Tacos is the …
Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream
Ben and Jerry’s are known for their eccentric, unique ice cream flavors and a name that is just as unique. Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia is vanilla ice cream with cherry pieces and chocolate chunks. I’m generally not a cherry flavored person. I like cherries but I don’t typically …
Saint Orange Juice

Lia Panettone
I stumbled across a couple of cases of this at the local Grocery Outlet for $1.99, and thought “Well, it’s a risk, but I miss the panettone I could get in Italy when we were there.” I’ve been back for three of them since. Panettone is an …
Healthy Choice Portabella Marsala Pasta

Quickchow Bihon Guisado
To quench thirst, I only have to open the refrigerator and concoct my favorite iced tea; but when hunger couldn’t wait anymore, I would hastily prepare a sandwich or cook an instant noodle. Last weekend, I tried Quickchow Bihon Guisado, a type of instant noodle, for my breakfast at …
Diamond Crystal Popcorn and Nut Salt

Kix Cereal
I remember Kix from my childhood. Those little round balls of goodness were “Kid Tested-Mother Approved” and it certainly seemed that way to me. I loved them! So, now that I am a mother of my own I saw a two pack on sale and figured it would be …
Quaker Oats oat meal cookies
I’m usually not the type of person who has a big appetite, but when I find a food that actually impresses my taste buds, I binge on it. The actual thought of bingeing on food makes someone on a diet feel very guilty. Well, I found out that there’s …

K Street Bagel and Cafe

Michelina’s Macaroni & Cheese with Ham
Michelina’s Macaroni & Cheese with Ham is something that is mildly satisfying to have for lunch or to have as a side dish with dinner. I was skeptical at first as to whether or not I was going to like this combination of macaroni and cheese and ham all …
