The Southern Grove 100 Calorie Packs Cocoa Roasted Almonds retails for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. In one package comes seven mini-packs of cocoa roasted almonds. Each mini pack amounts to a suggested serving. I have to say, I have trouble limiting myself to just one pack! I find …

One of my favorite sandwiches is turkey and bacon club. I can’t always get that, but I often like to get variations of it when I am in the mood for a sandwich. Even better sometimes is when it can be heated up or prepared in what …

General Mills Count Chocula cereal is a pretty sweet cereal, but it undeniably has a distinctly rich flavor to it. The sweetness mainly comes from the marshmallow pieces with the remaining sweetness originating from the chocolate cereal pieces. Much of the actual flavor this cereal has to offer comes …

There are a lot of pizza takeout places that vary in quality and prices, the most commercial being Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars and Papa John’s. Virtually every American has had the experience of eating from all four and I am one of them. Recently, I ordered …

Diana is a local company that sells a variety of confections, usually in the hard candles selection. They also have a product called Butternut which was one of my absolute favourite candy bars as a kid.
It has been years since I had a Butternut, but recently they began to …

I must say that I was expecting much more of this chocolate. When you read Swiss on the chocolate wrapping you immediately know you are going to have a treat, especially if the wrapping itself looks very expensive too. Bio is a synonym for health in my head so …

I just tried this cereal not too long ago because the shoppers where I live had a sale on cereal. It’s pretty good. The strawberry taste is very strong. It’s definately different from the other kinds of chex. I love strawberries and almost anything flavored with strawberry but I …

I make it a special point to always try any grilled chicken breast sandwich that is offered at a franchise restaurant for two reasons. One, it’s a healthier option than a hamburger. Two, these restaurants offer the chicken breast sandwich out of obligation for those who don’t …

I know we are approaching winter but I am reviewing the Mars Ice Cream anyway because I buy this in for my freezer all year round, they are so delicious. They are basically small choc ices —“ shorter and fatter than Mars bars —“ with the same milk …

The Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Cheese danish is one that I really do not care for very much. Part of the reason that I was disappointed in this danish is because I did not find the blueberry flavor to be particularly rich or impressive. While I could most certainly …

There are a lot of root beers out there, but there can be only one king and that is A & W. It is the best of the best. As the old slogans used to say, it’s got that frosty mug taste. I don\’t rightly know …

Today I just made a review about the gourmet crepe that I loved. I will continue it with another good dish from the same restaurant café Breton. Café Breton serves both gourmet and dessert crepes so I was lucky enough to try one of each type. For the dessert …

I like Fillets of mackerel but I don’t eat them very often because they are too heavy and sometimes I feel the taste of them in my mouth for hours so I prefer not to eat them very often.
This Fillets of mackerel in Olive Oil come in small golden …

This is what I like to call “the convenient meal”. I am inclined to this type of nomenclature because of the mere fact that the Big McMeal is just that for me, a convenient meal.
It is filling, for everybody, funny enough, I mean I personally eat mountain loads of …

I absolutely love hot chocolate. I even drink it during the summer, which, I think, proves how strong my feelings towards hot chocolate are. I usually make my own hot chocolate with cocoa powder and natural sweeteners, but every time I see a new drinking chocolate powder at the store …

During pregnancy, I suffered from …

Carl’s Jr. isn’t located all over the United States, but it is a large presence on the west coast and has been for many years. Whereas McDonald’s was always your basic fried hamburger and then Burger King became the broil king, Carl’s Jr.’s niche was charbroiled burgers. …

Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …

I recently tasted Palastri sangiovese di Romagna wine. It’s a red, medium bodied wine from Italy. I bought it because it was half price rather than because it had been recommended. I enjoyed it. It would go well with an evening meal but I enjoyed a glass …

I love my fruits and veggies and try to incorporate them into my daily life. Sometimes it’s as easy as grabbing a apple or banana. Sometimes it’s easy for me to pack chopped carrots and celery. Although like with anything else I like to mix it up, and …

I have a new obsession - Marty’s Cracklin’ Vegetarian Chicharon (Cracklings) Plain Salted Flavor under the brand name of Oishi. This is manufactured by Liwayway Marketing in the Philippines. It comes in 26g snack size pack and 90g party size pack. This is packaged in foil …

This particular flavor of Special K cereal really does not have, well, flavor, in my opinion. Where exactly is the yogurt and fruit flavor? Did they forget to put it in the box? I had to add my own fresh fruit and have a cup of yogurt just to …

When my baby turned one and was ready to drink whole milk, I found that she really didn’t take to it. Since she had already weaned herself, I found YoBaby drinkable yogurt a great way to provide her with whole milk until she accepted regular whole milk. I also …

I’ve always enjoyed vegetable thins crackers, which have the tangy taste of veggies added to a wheat cracker that was strong enough to dip without breaking, but they were a bit heavy and harder to chew than some of the other thin crackers, like Better Cheddars. They came …

Due to health reasons, I only buy peanut butter that is “natural”, meaning the only ingredients are roasted peanuts and either salt or salt and sugar (and possibly a little extra oil), so that I can avoid the trans fats in hydrogenated oils that are often included in other …

I like most types of chips, from banana chips to plantain chips, corn chips and even potato chips. However, one thing that has caught my attention recently is Cassava chips. I started seeing packs of them being sold as soon as the recession started, since for some reason, bananas …

I have a sweet tooth. This has plagued me from childhood. Now, in my late thirties, I have to choose what I eat very well since my blood sugar has sometimes reached borderline level. Many years ago, I only indulged in imported brands. Now I’ve rediscovered the chocolate bar …

I am a wife and a mother, so naturally it is my duty to cook the food for my family. Actually cooking is my hobby and I love cooking. I try many kind of new recipes and serve it to my family. But while cooking the …

During late night when I had to invite friends at home for something to work, we need to spice up the company by of course having something to drink. Friends always suggests to go with beer but oftentimes I find it boring. It tastes like water eventually and there …

I have seen the commercials for Blueberry Activia Yogurt for some time now. And I always wondered whether or not they really meant what they said about it being good for digestive health. I was skeptical about the product I guess you could say. But when I started trying …

Alaska Evaporated Milk I should honestly say is the best tasting evaporated milk of all. All the other local brands are unable to match its excellent taste. Globalization has brought in a lot of other brands of evaporated milk from other countries but so far Alaska Evaporated milk remains …

Product Description: Bag of pre-popped popcorn with aged cheddar cheese. Available at Walgreens for around $3.
What I liked about this product: For one, the popcorn was much fresher than I expected popcorn from a pre-packaged bag to be. I bought this expecting it to be very stale and it …

One of my favourite foods to eat is cheddar cheese even though I know it’s not good for me. Sometimes, I indulge anyway and even use it when cooking some things.
The first time I heard about “Crest Processed Cheddar Cheese” was one summer when the nearest supermarket to …

Mountain Lightning is Walmart’s inexpensive alternative to the popular Mountain Dew. While the taste is a little different, it is close enough, and I know some Mountain Dew fans who have at least temporarily switched to Mountain Lightning (to give their wallet a break). A 2-liter bottle costs only …

I find these Little Debbie Star Crunch Cosmic Snacks to be quite scrumptious! They are very crunchy and have a pretty rich and strong flavor to them. When I have one, it really sets my taste buds ablaze! I like that I can actually taste the caramel in this …

I’m really not a huge fan of sweet liquors. However, I love Bailey’s Irish Cream! I was at my cousin’s graduation party a few months ago. She was drinking a glass of it and I decided to try it. …

I tried eating cereal for breakfast before. Nestle have created so many varieties from Coco Crunch, Nestle Cereals with Fiber and many more. When I was conscious about my weight before, I tried eating these. I discontinued it because I was not really sold with the taste. One brand I …

I have just recently discovered these really nice biscuits from the McVitie range, called Cafe Noir. These are flat, oblong biscuits about the size of malted milk biscuits and they consist of a hard, plain biscuit topped with a thick layer of hard, coffee flavoured icing. They …

Peanut butter is definitely a very popular product, especially in North America. Some people like it chunky, some people like it smooth. I definitely prefer the smooth variety. And this is one of the major reason why I love the Equality peanut butter. It is the smoothest peanut …

I swear I’ve never been truly contented with the honeybeeI tried before until I discovered the Tupelo Honey. I found this in one popular All-Natural Products Health Store near my place. I’ve known the store for selling real all-natural quality products so I never had a second-thought when I …

I was doing grocery shopping yesterday in an Indian grocery shop in Singapore. I found that lot of Haldiram’s brand snacks have arrived as it is nearing Diwali. I chose my favorite sweet Soan Papdi. I felt so happy to see the sweet and I quickly grabed one. Never …

For tourist and travelers like me, going to Dumaguete City is nothing without stopping by and eating at Sans Rival. This is a name quite synonymous to Dumaguete City as if without this pastry shop, dumaguete City ceased to exist in the minds of visitors.
…

When I saw the Pasta Express on television, I had to get one. My wife and I are constantly eating pasta and, even if all it did was free up a burner on our stove, it was worth the investment.
After using it for the first time, I have a …

Java Monster from monster brand energy drinks, are hands down my favorite energy drinks. The Irish Blend Java monster is by far my favorite of all of these. It tastes similar to a cup of coffee with a shot of Bailey’s, or Irish creme in it. I used to …

I love coffee! Actually I can be considered as coffee-addict already. Why?
I cannot function without a cup of coffee first. I’m not a morning person, but had no choice but to wake up at six in the morning to prepare for work. Coffee particularly Nescafe Gold wakes up my …

Almost addictive, these amazingly tiny dried blueberries pack tremendous flavor and are supposedly a fat free source of antioxidants. In a blue and clear 4 ounce plastic bag with a handy recloseable seal, they retain a little softness (not leathery like some dried fruits). They work well as a …

Cheese is without a doubt in my top five favorites when it comes to food and snacks. I would go so far as to say it’s even in my top two. I’m not really sure what would beat it out but I love cheese. I enjoy …

Stouffer’s Tuna Noodle Casserole is really quite enjoyable! There is a lot of flavor to be tasted here, ranging from the noodles to the tuna to the mushrooms and more! The peas, celery and oh so creamy sauce are fantastic, too! All of the ingredients in this casserole have …

New York Style - Lightly Salted Pita Chips are chips that indeed do not have very much salt sprinkled across their surfaces. There is certainly sufficient salt added to these chips to make them slightly salty, but not so much that the salt will be the only thing that …
