Reed’s Crystallized Ginger Candy

Kraft Pizza
I am not a huge fan of pre-packaged pizza mixes, but in a hurry one night I decided to try Kraft Pizza Crust Mix with Cheese, Herbs and Tomato Sauce to make a pizza for guests and myself.
This small 450gram orange box cost only $2.99CDN, which I thought, was …
Family Pantry Honey Roasted Peanuts
I have recently bought a can of Family Pantry Honey Roasted Peanuts. I have been trying to stick to a low carb diet and nuts in general have few carbs. I wanted to try these nuts because they were low priced at 1.50 per can and …
Great Value Vanilla Wafers
My parents recently bought us a box of Great Value vanilla wafers. It was meant as an item to put in our daughter’s school lunches, but my wife and I eat them almost as much as she does; which is probably not such a bad thing because she has …
Kelloggs Corn Pops
In the realm of sugar cereals one of the popular choices for kids of all ages is Corn Pops. Kelloggs Corn Pops are a flavorful cereal that I’ve been eating for quite some time. These little corn puffs with added sugar certainly taste great. In my opinion, …
Smartsnacks Caramel Popcorn
Popcorn is our all time favorite finger food. We choose it as our companion when we watch movie or simply when we watch TV. I myself love this food. I bought popcorn from a famous brand in the United States. It is a caramel-flavored popcorn. It is contained in a …
Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini
Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini is not quite as good as the tuna noodle casserole that I really enjoy, but I still like to purchase this meal every so often. I simply do not like turkey quite as much as I like some other things, but when I do have a …
365 Everyday Value Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water
Of all the canned tunas on the market - and boy there are are a lot - the 365 Everyday Value Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water is my favorite. It is my favorite for more than just a few reasons. I think the reason I enjoy this …
Wholly Guacamole
I love guacamole, but I do not like to make it at home. I do not like to try to select a ripe avocado because I inevitably choose the wrong one. I also like to have my guacamole ready when I am in the mood for it, without …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights (Cinnamon!)
I bought a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Cinnamon Swirl Cake on a whim, and it turned out to be a good move.
For a tasty sweet snack or dessert, this little cake is handy. It’s designed to be one serving, but it’s big enough to serve two …
Ortega Nacho Cheese Dip - Medium
At best, I would describe the Ortega Nacho Cheese Dip - Medium to be bland. There is really nothing noteworthy about this cheese dip, other than that I liked that it came in cups that could be placed in the microwave and heated up. I liked the simplicity and …
Cisco’s Crisp Choco in Almond Choco
I just recently went to Japan Home thrift store to look for cheap stuff. Little did I know that I was in for a surprise! As I looked over the food stuff they were selling, I saw that they had the Cisco’s Crisp Choco in Almond Choco flavor. I …
Jamocha Shake from Arby’s
I love shakes and find myself ordering them a few times a year. I do not purchase them all of the time because of the price and the calories. One shake that I like to have every now and then is from local Arby’s. It is a jamocha flavored …
Capri Sun juice drinks
When I was in school, I always enjoyed bringing a Capri Sun juice with my lunch to school. They come with 10 in a box, and they are kind of like bags that you can pop the straw into. I think it’s about 12 ounces in each …
Great Value Foods
To save money, we try to eat at home whenever we can. But, even dining at home can be expensive lately. That’s why we depend on Great Value products.
Great Value is Wal-mart’s store brand. And, even though it is a generic brand, the quality isn’t much different than that …
Trader Joe’s Mini Croissants
Eight croissants come in the Trader Joe’s Mini Croissants package and the package retails for four dollars. Four dollars wasn’t a price I was willing to pay for these croissants, so I waited for them to be on sale before I gave them a try. In turned out though …
Lunch Buddies Chocolate Pudding
In one package of Lunch Buddies Chocolate Pudding comes four three point five ounce cups of chocolate pudding for eighty-nine cents. It’s the cheapest pudding I’ve found, and it’s sold at ALDI Food Market stores. Pudding mixes are cheaper, but this pudding is already made and packaged, so it’s …
Pillsbury Grands Flaky Cinnamon Twists
Pillsbury Grands Flaky Cinnamon Twists are a sweet and tasty after dinner treat that I look forward to every Sunday night. Now I love cinnamon, and these Twists have seemingly layers of it interlaced with the flaky soft dough. The surgery frosting excites my taste buds too. These Twists …
Hardees Hot Ham and Cheese Mouth Watering
I love going to Hardees for fast food. They have a lot of choices of what you can get. But when I tried their hot ham and cheese sandwich, I fell in love!

Great Value Creamy Peanut Butter
A very good value when it comes to purchasing food is Great Value Creamy Peanut Butter. I’ve had several different brands of peanut butter in the past. In my opinion there hasn’t been to much difference in terms of taste between the major brand labels. Therefore, I …
Pasta Meals at the Old Spaghetti House
If you’re looking for a filling but affordable meal at The Old Spaghetti House (TOSH) restaurant, you should try their pasta meals. Their pasta meals are actually good for two and you could actually ask them to serve the meal on two separate plates. Not only that their pasta …
Din Tai Fung - Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai Soup Dumplings)
The xiao long bao (Shanghai soup dumplings) is my favorite type of dimsum. During my recent trip to Shanghai, I was very excited to eat a lot of the dumplings. I tried different ones, but I have to say that the best one is from Din Tai …

Millville Shredded Wheat Bite Size Whole Grain Wheat Cereal
The Millville Shredded Wheat Bite Size Whole Grain Wheat Cereal comes in a sixteen point four box for one dollar and eighty-nine cents. This is pure shredded wheat cereal as there is no frosted side. As one can imagine, the cereal doesn’t
taste like much of anything. It’s definitely not …
Tuborg Green Beer
I am not a regular drinker and I am also choosy on what I drink. I only go for ladies drinks like selected cocktail drinks and beer on special occasions. I was able to taste Tuborg Green beer and I can say that it is one of the best.
From …
Cafe Breton’s Strawberry Short Dessert Crepe
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 …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip is not a flavor that I go wild over, although I do enjoy having it every now and then. The ice cream itself is mint flavored, and the mint flavor is really quite refreshing and strong. This is a flavor that …
Stella Doro Breakfast Cookies
When I lived in New York, I used to see these Stella D\’Oro brand cookies in supermarkets, but never thought to try them. I recently picked up their Breakfast Treats in plain vanilla, and have found a brand new snack for myself! They are made for …
Burger King Value Menu Sausage Biscuit
In the tough economic times, fast food places have value menu items of all kinds. It’s amazing what you can find on one of these specialty menus today. The focus of this particular review, however, is the Burger King Value Menu Sausage Biscuit.
Burger King offers several items …
Pizza Hut Lasagna
Recently, I took advantage of a promotion to order some of the Tuscani pastas that Pizza Hut was advertising. I adore spaghetti and I like lasagna, so when the right deal it, I decided to experiment and see if these two items were really any good. …
Nasi Lemak (Coconut Milk Rice)
If you are someone that have traveled extensively across Southeast Asia, and been to Singapore and Malaysia, you must have either taste Nasi Lemak (Coconut Milk Rice) or heard of it before a lot of times. We are talking about food galore here and Nasi Lemak, or also known …
Little Debbie Snack Pie - Cherry
I find these Little Debbie Snack Pie - Cherry variety to be far superior to the apple variety. Where as the apple variety lacked real, authentic apple flavor and just seemed to have an overall dull flavor, this cherry variety is quite rich in precisely the flavor it should …
Season’s Choice Vegetables
One of the things my wife picked up in a recent visit to our local Aldi store was a bag of “steamable” vegetables from the brand Season’s Choice. We ended up having those as part of dinner last night and I was very impressed with these.
I like vegetables that …
Magnum Almond Ice Cream Bar
There have been countless commercials advertising the magnum ice cream bars on television in the last few months. This was not the first time I saw them on television, but the novelty ice cream seemed like something I wanted to try. It is advertised as having Belgian chocolate over …
KABBALAH ENERGY DRINK SUGAR FREE
Move over Red Bull, there’s a newer, cheaper player in the energy drink market.
Actually, the differences between the two products is not really all that pronounced, but the slight variation between the two products is noticeable.
Kabbalah is stronger in taste. It does not have the ultra dull taste sugar …
Sierra Mist Free Softdrink
Generally, I do not enjoy most diet soft drinks. I dislike the aftertaste and it just reminds me that diets are all about denial, meaning that these products are created for the express purpose of disallowing me pleasure.
With the idea of doing things to improve my health, I reluctantly …
Carl’s Jr. - The Kentucky Bourbon Six-Dollar Burger
Carl’s Jr. - The Kentucky Bourbon Six-Dollar Burger is not worth even three dollars, in my opinion. I was not all that pleased with this burger because I did not really find anything all that special about it and there definitely should have been something special about it considering …
Yogi Soothing Caramel Bedtime Herbal Tea
I love having desert after dinner because I always have a sweet tooth after a savory meal. However, sometimes the sugars in my dessert keep me up at nighttime so I do not get the rest I need. One of the ways I cure my sweet tooth after dinner …
Warburtons Seeded Batch Bread
I was brought up on healthy brown bread and except for the occasional lovely white crusty bread such as French bread, white bread was considered to be the height of bad taste in our household. So I generally go for brown bread for the extra fibre content and …
Pizza Hut Panormis Pizza
Ok, I’m not sure if it’s because the people working at our local pizza hut are a bunch of idiots or if the commercials lie about how great the new Panormis Pizza is. But, whichever the case, I’m seriously disappointed in it.
When my wife and I saw the commercials …
Charles Goldfinger
I love sweets and chocolates and when Charles Goldfinger came on the scene quite a few years back I had to try one. Charles Goldfinger is a chocolate bar which has wafers which are filled with a light cocoa cream and then covered in milk chocolate.
Charles Goldfinger only has …
Nabisco Oreos
I love Oreos and here in my country they have a multitude of package sizes starting from small packages that contain only four cookies in them (which are the ones I am writing about) to the large packages which contains about 3 rows of these delicious morsels.
I decided to …
Boost Nutritional Energy Drink
I am very much into health and fitness, and I’m always trying new things. My daughter gave me a can of Boost Nutritional Energy Drink, and now I am hooked. I love Boost, it’s so creamy and tasty. Boost comes in and 8oz can. So far I have only …
