Cheerios cereal : Dulce de Leche
Cheerios has a new addition to the line called Dulce de Leche. If you’re a Cheerios fan and love the taste of caramel then this is for you. It’s lightly sweetened with the natural flavor of caramel, though it’s not sugary sweet. This is great because you won’t get …
Options Outrageous Orange Instant Hot Chocolate Drink
When I was a weight-obsessed teenager, I would often have an Options hot chocolate drink, taking a couple to work to have instead of coffee. I can see why because they are only 33 calories per drink which is nothing. The Options instant hot chocolate drinks are …
Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles
I first saw Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles when I had went on vacation to the USA and there in one of the grocery stores. There were these relatively medium sized packages with a very rich and vibrant red colour with a clear plastic area that let’s you see …
O’Hara’s Raspberry Jalapeno Jam
Ohara’s Raspberry Jalapeno Jam is the very best jam I have ever tasted. I bought it at a craft show in Albuquerque for the first time and absolutely love it. It is actually made in Durango, CO, but the family goes to craft shows and fairs to allow …
Crystal Chocolate Milk
Growing up, Crystal dairy products were all around. Unfortunately, as stores began producing their own products to sell, it’s disappeared from the shelves in alarming rates. Though they distribute other name products, their ice creams and milks, for example, are hard to find, at least around the …
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, …
Ocean Spray Craisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries 100 Calorie Pack
My favorite healthy snack to snack on lately is the Ocean Spray Craisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries 100 Calorie Pack. They are sweet tart and delicious and I find them to be tasty on top of a salad and yogurt. They also go great with pork chop dinners with a …
Sargento Classic Cheddar Jack - Fancy Shredded
Back before the holidays I was looking in the supermarket for shredded cheese. As it happened, this one was on sale and so I bought it. I’m glad I did, as this is a very excellent cheese indeed.
I like how easy this cheese is to use in all of …
Hamburger from McDonalds
The hamburger from McDonalds is one of my favorite snacks when I’m out and I get hungry. For example, if I’m walking to the grocery store I often stop in and get two hamburgers to go. Then I can eat them on the way to the store and they …
Roundys Tomato Paste
I love buying these little six ounce cans of tomato paste from my local Pick N Save. They are almost always in stock and I know it is a brand I can rely on. With this soy allergy I have, I have to be extremely careful what I buy. …
Ethnic Gourmet Peanut Satay Chicken
Ethnic Gourmet Peanut Satay Chicken is a frozen meal that retails for three dollars and fifty cents. I tried this frozen meal once, but never again will I buy another box. The meal wasn’t downright terrible, but while it gets the chicken right, it absolutely, totally, misses the mark …
Sweetfire chicken at Panda Express
Sweetfire chicken is my one of the favorite dishes at Panda Express. I have never thought that pine apple and chicken would make such a wonderful combination. Panda Express has successfully blended the sweet tangy pine apple pieces into chicken and spices to make a juicy mouth watering dish.
As …
Hershey’s: Dulce De Leche Syrup
Hershey’s: Dulce De Leche Syrup is perhaps my favorite ice cream topping that I have tried so far. The reason is pretty simple: it is a caramel topping and boy oh boy does this topping have a deliciously rich and intense caramel flavor! I love caramel, and so I …
Idahoan Instant Potatoes
I decided to give instant potatoes another try. I am not big on instant potatoes, but I figured they are handy to have in the house. They only take a few minutes to make, and when you are in a pinch it is nice to have mashed potatoes as …
Pudina Chutney
Pudina chutney or Mint Sauce is an accompniment served with traditional Indian food. It is made by grinding mint leaves with salt, pepper, green chilli and lime juice with a little quantity of water. It tastes well when it is both tangy as well spicy in taste …
Ben & Jerry’s Single Size Ice Cream
All types of food come available in various sizes these days, but I had to admit that I was very surprised when Ben & Jerry came out with a single serving size of their ice cream. Each mini-carton is about 3.6 ounces, and each comes with a small …
Pascia cappuccino
I must admit that 12 months I’ve tasted so many different cappuccino beverages because I started disliking coffee so I take one just in the morning and if I need or want coffee during the day I prefer making myself a cappuccino rather than making a coffee.
Pascia cappuccino looks very …
Banquet Gravy and Salisbury Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Corn
The Banquet gravy and Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and corn was a frozen dinner I had tried before discovering the Michaelina’s Salisbury steak dinner. It was one of those dollar and some change meals I though would be a great buy. It wasn’t.
The thing that got me about …
Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Biscuit and Baking Mix
This is perhaps the best gluten free all purpose baking mix that I have tried. There are other mixes for pancakes, biscuits, cookies and other such products, but this one covers them all. There are two recipes included on the back of the package which work out quite well …
Spectrum - Unrefined, raw coconut oil
I am from a tropical place and have always loved tropical fruits. But considering that you get less tropical fruits in Northern US, its hard to find the fresh taste. When i was shopping for oils in Whole foods, then i saw this raw , virgin, unrefined coconut oil …
Holy Kettle Corn
During movie marathons I see to it that I have my favorite snacks on hand. I would normally get a microwave ready popcorn, but since I was too lazy to cook my own popcorn I just finally decided to buy a huge bag of Holy Kettle Corn popcorn.
The good …
Glory Foods Seasoned New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice
Glory Foods Seasoned New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice is a cheap and easy way to make a quick dinner. I first bought it on a whim because I am trying to learn how to cook for a vegetarian. The problem I have had is that cooking for …
Ben&Jerry’s non-dairy vegan ice-cream
Vegan ice-cream is a big thing right now, as a lot of people choose to follow that cruelty-free lifestyle and a lot of people also have a lactose-intolerance or a milk allergy, so the market of dairy-free ice-cream is growing with every day. I’ve tried a lot of vegan ice-cream …
Diet Pepsi
I love Diet Pepsi. I think that I am addicted. The problem is they are not good for you. I don’t know if it is the carbonation, the taste or the caffeine.
The label says that there are 0 calories, …
Yogi Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life
I’m a huge fan of herbal teas. I think they’re great to settle you down for the evening, perk you up for the day, or warm your bones when it’s chilly out. Really, I’ll take just about any excuse I can for a cup of great tasting herbal tea. …
Texas Roadhouse Pulled Pork Sandwich
I don’t know what it is about me but people look at me and think the ideal gift for me is gift cards. I have received gift cards from just about every franchise restaurant out there except MacDonald’s (they don’t offer any). From Subway to Romano’s Macaroni …
Berryhill Wild Blueberry Fruit Syrup
The Berryhill Wild Blueberry Fruit Syrup comes in a thirteen ounce bottle for two dollars and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. After trying the Smucker’s Blueberry Syrup and being real disappointed, I was kind of hesitant to give this blueberry syrup a try. I didn’t want to …
Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread
I’ve eaten several different varieties of bread from Francisco International, but I believe my favorite is Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread. It’s a product I’ve enjoyed off and on for years and have been purchasing a bit more in recent months.
While regular sourdough bread is tasty, the extra sourdough …
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles disappointed me quite a bit. The reason I purchased these waffles was because of the raspberry and strawberry flavors. I did not feel that either flavor was represented well and neither did much for me. Oh sure, I could taste some …
Mrs. Freshley’s Bear Claw Danish
This is supposed to be a bear claw? Mrs. Freshley’s Bear Claw Danish really does not taste much like a bear claw in my opinion. There is very little almond flavor to be tasted and enjoyed. There is no raisin flavor either, and raisins are pretty common in bear …
Cooper’s Mac & Cheese Bites
Cooper’s Mac & Cheese Bites is a frozen food item that’s sold at ALDI Food Market locations for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. The box weighs eight ounces and contains approximately ten mac and cheese bites. This was something that caught my eye because I had never seen anything …
Coca Cola Cleans Toilet Bowl Stains
I live in the mountains and my water comes from a well. Over time, I had thick mineral deposits in the bottom of the toilet bowl. It looked horrible. I tried CLR, Rustoleum, Bam, Kaboom, and about every cleaner I could find. Nothing would dissolve …
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Bubbly
I am something of a chocoholic - I love all things chocolatey, from cakes to bars and everything in between. Yet my concerns about a fair trade for developing world producers (where most cocoa is grown) and worries about forced child labour has led me to try to focus …
Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks
Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks is a snack food item that’s well worth a dollar thirty for a sixteen-ounce bag. A lot of pretzel sticks come in a bag that size, making it ideal for friendly gatherings or even just to have around the house to snack on or have with …
Orville Redenbacher’s Mini Bags of Buttery Popcorn
We bought a few boxes of the Orville Redenbacher’s Mini Bags this weekend because they were on sale for $1.65 at our local grocery store. We usually do not buy popcorn, but for that price we felt like it was worth it, especially the boxes of mini bags because …
Cadbury Cream Eggs
When Easter-time comes around, I am always happy to see the arrival of Cadbury cream eggs to the stores. These eggs are about 2 inches tall. There is a chocolate shell that surrounds a sweet, sugary center that is supposed to resemble egg yolk. They can …
Arizona Diet Iced Tea
I have just switched my brand of diet iced tea, and I am pleasantly pleased. I had been buying Snapple, but didn’t feel like it really tasted like tea, more like soda pop. I tried Lipton, which was not much better. My daughter suggested in the …
Joe Pucci & Sons Seafood Smoked Chubs
Just like with my review of Nova Smoked Salmon, I must warn that this product is not for everyone, and those unfamiliar with the concept of eating cold smoked fish will probably lack the courage to try it. Joe Pucci & Sons Seafood Smoked Chubs are sold in packs …
Dole 100% Pineapple Orange Juice
Dole 100% Pineapple Orange Juice is one of our family’s favorite juices. It is a frozen concentrate - actually a blend of two concentrates, orange and pineapple - that comes in a 12 fl. oz. can and needs to be kept in the freezer until you are ready to …
Great Value Apricot & Pineapple Preserves
Last week, I bought a trial 18 oz jar of Great Value Apricot & Pineapple preserves. Today we have finished it, and it is already on our grocery list for the next trip to the store. Yes, we all loved it. I am not particularly fond of apricot, but …
Beechnut Table Time Arrowroot Cookies
Just recently I went to my grocery store to go pick up some items for my son. He’s about ten months old and eating stage 3 foods. Every once in awhile he will pick up an arrowroot cookie or piece of Zwieback toast to chew on. He only has …
K Rogers Danish Style Butter Cookies
We got these delicious cookies as a Diwali present from our landlord. We were thankful for the sweets they have given us and so I was able to write a review about K Rogers Danish Style Butter Cookies.
Most of canned cookies here are imports from other country so the …
Brach’s Hawaiian Punch Fruit Snacks
As a parent, I know the importance of always having healthy snacks available both around the house and when we’re on the go. One of the most important food items we always have on hand are little bags of fruit snacks.
In the past, I’ve always bought the more expensive …
Dukat Bioaktiv Lgg fruit
They say that Lgg is very important for your health because it helps your body to fight against the diseases and against the stress we get every day because it gives strengthens your immune system . I used to drink normal yogurt but as the price is the same …
Carnation Fat Free Instant Skim Milk
I have never really developed the good habit of drinking milk as I was growing up, but recently I’ve been really getting into yoga, because I want to lose some weight, and yoga has helped me with that, and with dealing with everyday stress. My instructor recommended that …
Tony Chachere’s Creole Roasted Chicken Dinner Mix
Tony Chachere makes several box dinners and Creole Roasted Chicken Flavored Dinner Mix is good. I prefer to make dishes as fresh as possible, including rice dishes, but when you are busy or your family wants a quick snack, this product comes in handy. Creole Roasted Chicken Dinner Mix …
Yoplait Orange Creme
Yoplait Orange Creme is a flavor of yogurt that I purchase every now and then, but not too often because I am not particularly crazy about the flavor of oranges. It is a nice change of pace to have though on occasion. This yogurt is certainly rich in flavor …
New Zealand Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
I have to say that I’m a little particular when it comes to cookies and cream flavored ice cream. Unless the ice cream itself is really good, I won’t like it. I’ve had a lot that used cheap ice cream and loaded it down with cookies to make it …
Lean Pockets Three Cheese and Broccoli
I decided to try Lean Pockets Three Cheese and Broccoli after finding them on sale at my local Kroger for $2. I am normally not a fan of Hot Pockets because I am a vegetarian and there aren’t many flavors that don’t have meat in them. I …
Kraft Fresh Take Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Seasoning Mix
I bought this product from Kroger on sale for $2.35 this past October hanging in the refrigerated cheese section and I thought it would be an easy way to switch up the chicken that I was going to make for dinner that night. It comes with all the bread …
