Recently while staying for the weekend at my son’s apartment, I was suffering from a sinus infection along with an upper respiratory infection. My son had previously been sick a lot and had become a much more health conscious consumer.
He wanted to help me feel better and offered to …

Once more, for the third time exploring my near diabetic Papa’s arsenal of store-bought holiday treats, we have Spaans Sugar Free Spiced Windmill cookies next on the buffet line. (For clearer context, see my other Spaans cookie reviews, such as Lemon Chiffon and Ginger Bars.)
So…how does this latest “commandeered …

Stouffer’s Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Stromboli is a real delightful lunch time treat that I find to be quite rich in flavor! The grilled chicken has a terrific natural flavor that is both authentic and enjoyable. The broccoli works great with the chicken and it offers a pretty stark taste …

My wife got a free sample of Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips the other day in the mail. I’m not sure who sent it to her exactly (both my dad and my mother-in-law spend hours looking for free samples on line each week) but, it wasn’t a product I’ve …

Breyers Snickers Caramel Swirl Chunk is a decent ice cream that combines the chocolaty, crunchy traits of a Snickers bar with smooth vanilla ice cream and caramel swirls. I’m sure that I would like this ice cream more if it had more pieces of Snickers candy bars spread throughout …

The Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips disappointed me quite a bit. I did not find these chips to be particularly spicy or rich with cheddar. I actually felt that these bagel chips were really quite bland and unimpressive. There was not a hint of spiciness in these bagel …

I love to drink tea, especially green tea, whether it is hot or cold. Green tea has a delicate and subtle bitter taste. As a plus, green tea contains a chockfull of antioxidants for the immune system, so it is very good for your health.
As I am on …

If you’ve ever gone to a Vietnamese restaurant, you have probably encountered this chili sauce. If so, you’ve already had the pleasure of its acquaintance.
If not, let me be the first to introduce you.
For a lot of people, their idea of “hot sauce” usually consists of tobasco or some …

Tabasco is a must have in every kitchen counter. Tabasco is a great hot sauce that is perfect for almost anything. i personally love using tabasco for burgers, pizza, pasta, sandwiches and anything. i love using this product even in my cooking to make my dishes fire up and …

Diet foods are a huge sector of the overall food production right now - diet ice-cream, diet chocolate, diet bread, diet sodas etc. I’m not a big supporter of the whole reduced fat/carb/calories industry, but there’re a few products that I’m actually pretty happy with and this Diet Pepsi Lime …

One thing that I can’t seem to get enough of is chocolate, and I guess that you can call me a “chocoholic” because I am usually craving something chocolate, being chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies (usually the Keebler brand), or maybe even just plain chocolate. That …

I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.
But, I tried their chili last night and have to say I wasn’t very impressed with it.
I picked it up looking for something warm to …

My addiction with dark chocolates started after I read an article that dark chocolates are healthy. I also heard the same statement from a famous dermatologist here in my country. So because I have a sweet tooth, I shifted my cravings for chocolates to dark chocolates. Among the health …

While looking at the ice cream aisle this week, I saw Snickers Minis Ice Cream Bars, a product I didn’t even know they made. Well, I knew they made or used to make full size bars, but I haven’t bought those in a very long time and haven’t …

I recently came across a product from Keebler that I hadn’t tried before; their new Flat bread crisps. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from them. But, I was in the mood for some sort of snack to eat while watching TV or a movie and figured it …

The Great Value Twist and Shout Vanilla Sandwich Cookies will look really familiar to anyone that has ever had a vanilla Oreo cookie before. The two different brands of cookies not only look remarkably alike, but also, I can’t much make out any significant difference in taste. The Nabisco …

Pringles Original Potato Crisps have been on the scene since the late 60’s and early 70’s. They were the first of its kind in many ways. For one thing, Pringles doesn’t come in a bag. Rather, Pringles are sold in tall cylinders that are bold red …

This cereal is, I think, one of the healthiest cereals that a person could purchase in the grocery store today. There is no sugar and there is no sodium in this cereal, but there is quite a good number of vitamins, iron and some other nutrients as well, plus …

I am a junk food super eater and I am honest about that.In fact,in one day I can eat 5 different junk foods. I know that its bad for my health but as much as I wanted to stop I just can’t. One of my favorite is Oishi Pillows …

Hidden Valley Ranch dressing is the only dressing that I like in my salads. It’s the best dressing if you ask me. It’s thick and creamy and has a taste like no other dressing out there. I had a Kraft ranch low fat dressing once and that is alright, …

My sister really likes marshmallows I don’t like them that much but i always buy them for here and I end up eating them too so I really can’t complain they are bad because they aren’t.
Few days ago went to Lidl and so this Mallow cocktail marshmallows, they didn’t …

In my house, finding cheap side dishes that give us both quality and quantity is a must. Knorr’s newest product, Sides Plus Veggies, fits this category perfectly.
For only $1.50 at Wal-mart, the Sides Plus Veggies gives us plenty of food for our money. One pack is enough for our …

Energy drinks are very popular these days, you have monster, venom, red bull, etc. They are mostly just sugared down and have a ton of caffeine drinks that give you a short energy buzz and makes you crash really hard once they wear off. I remember when I was …

I enjoy pecans and pecan-flavored treats, but unfortunately, I cannot say that I enjoy Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Danish. The reason I cannot say that I enjoy this flavor variety is because the pecan flavor is somewhat disappointing. It is not as strong and scrumptious as I was hoping it …

I did not find anything at all special really about this Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla. The homemade vanilla flavor was nothing spectacular and a letdown compared to the premium all-natural vanilla, also made by Blue Bunny. The premium vanilla ice cream had an incredibly rich vanilla …

Market Pantry White Sandwich Bread is a loaf bread carried only at Target stores. Around thirty slices come in the wrapper and the sandwich bread sells for just under one dollar. I only bought this sandwich bread once because I can get just as much sandwich bread at Kroger …

I find these Little Debbie Easter Basket Cakes - Chocolate variety to be a relatively simple although nonetheless enjoyable treat to have come Easter time. The chocolate cake is quite moist and so very soft that hardly any chewing is required at all. The chocolate cake also tastes as …

The best pizza, frozen or otherwise I’ve tasted in a very long time.
Goodfella’s has a long reputation of making excellent frozen pizzas and have never been afraid of creating pizzas with interesting topping combinations and this particular pizza is definitely one of their best successes.
It is a meat filled …

Amul kool is one of the favorite drinks of mine. Previously, I used to drink too much cold drink because of my nature of job. Later I came to know about the ill effects that over consumption of cold drink may have. Then I decided to substitute it with …

I am a fan of Hot Pockets. Easy to cook, easy to eat, and tasty to boot they are a great snack (or even meal if you’re in a rush, which I often am). However, I am always on the lookout for cheaper alternatives, which is why …

When there are days that I find myself having bits of constipation or unable to break wind, I would opt for Ginger Tea. This is one of the best solutions ever and do not ever take for granted the best usage of Ginger Tea.
Yes, the taste is not …

From since I can remember my mother was always buying this biscuits for me and my sister when we were little and that’s why I call them baby cookies although I don’t actually know it they are really for babies of if my mother was just buying them 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 …

This French Vanilla coffee whitener is quite good. It is fat free with 30 calories per tablespoon (7g of carbs, 5g of sugars) and tastes quite good. You make instant or percolated coffee and pour this product in as you would with milk or cream and it’s quite good. …

Several years ago I won a promotion that gave me a year supply of Dr.Pepper for free. After winning that promotion, I was permanently addicted to Dr.Pepper to some extent and find myself reaching for prehaps a little too often.
When Dr.Pepper released this new flavor, i was pretty excited. …

My absolute favorite type of Easter candy is the Cadbury mini eggs. I’m sure you’ve seen them, in their dark purple bags in grocery and department stores around Easter time. They usually seem to disappear fast because a lot of people them! The eggs are small …

We had steak for dinner last night and one of the side dishes my wife made with it was Betty Crocker’s Au Gratin potatoes. Those actually turned out to be one of the better things we ate.
I liked how you could make them right in the oven with the …

Trying this pizza proved one thing —“ you’ve got to spend money to get good pizza. I bought it because it was on sale for about a dollar, thinking that the cheap price will compensate for quality. But I was wrong. This was the WORST pizza …

I love cereal and I always start the day with a bowl of it in cold milk. A lot of cereals have either been bland or too sweet. Last weekend, I bought Nestle Fitnesse & Fruit cereal and I tell you this cereal was not bland nor was it …

One staple I keep around is Bigelow’s Raspberry Royale. It’s a low key tea that has been around for a long time, but it is one of the very best raspberry teas for use in iced tea that I have ever tried. While I prefer Twinings and …

You people must have tried much kind of noodles for the breakfast or even for dinner. But now I am going to introduce the surya noodles. I tried the surya noodles, which my colleague had recommended a lot. The surya noodles are made using the wheat …

When we bought several cans of Del Monte Chunky Mixed Fruit, I thought it was going to be a lot like my favorite Very Cherry Mixed Fruit by the same brand, only in bigger pieces and maybe with less cherries. Indeed, the ingredients are very similar - peach and …

Jell-o Instant Pudding - Chocolate is a delicious variety that I feel will appeal to chocolate lovers and even those that only have a lukewarm taste for chocolate, like myself. This chocolate pudding is so very rich and real in flavor that it is very easy to just keeping …

I can’t say that I am a huge Starbucks fan. It isn’t that they have bad coffee, but rather than there are so many choices and they are just a little too expensive for me to justify frequenting their cafes on a regular basis. However, there are times when …

I first learn about the brand when I first saw the biscuits in a Duty Free shop. Of all the variants that were before me, I chose mint because it was something unconventional and the mixture of dark chocolate and mint gives the best experience for anybody who has a …

I find Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts to be almost as good as the cinnamon variety. The reason I say “almost” is because I personally prefer cinnamon to powdered sugar, although the powdered sugar used on these donuts is really quite enjoyable and offers a real delightful flavor. I …

As am a happy follower of Kashi. I more than likely I have a product of Kashi sitting somewhere in my kitchen. My favorite product has got to be their granola bars. Convenient and tasty all wrapped in one wrapper. I love that I can chunk a couple …

PayDay Candy Bars make me think back and remember my childhood. It’s a weird kind of symbol of happy family times. No, my family didn’t sit around eating PayDay Candy Bars, but they were one of my mom’s favorites, and I loved them, too.
PayDay Candy Bars are …

I think mints are a common thing, but as time progressed they began to evolve. Different types of mints, hard, soft, chewy and now different flavours!
Here in Trinidad they had recently brought out a new type of mint made by the Diana Candy Company. This new mint is named …
