Snickers Ice Cream Bars
The Snickers Ice Cream Bar is most certainly an improvement over the regular Snickers candy bar. The Snickers Ice Cream bar brings the flavors of vanilla, chocolate, caramel and peanuts all together in the form of a frosty treat that is really scrumptious! All four flavors shine and all …

San Mig Coffee is definitely one of my favorite coffee brands. I first tried San Mig Coffee last year when I saw it at our neighborhood grocery store. I was surprised to see how cheap it was compared to other brands of instant coffee. It tastes so delicious, the …
Options Belgian Choc Instant Hot Chocolate Drink
I used to like these instant Options drinks but I went mad buying sachets of this the last time I went to the supermarket and I am not so enamoured by them. They are only 37 calories per drink so maybe for a very low calorie hot chocolate …
Subway (Berkeley, CA near campus)
Subway, “Eat Fresh,” so goes the slogan. Although I have never found Subway to be fresh, it is always been a healthier, delicious alternative to traditional fast food. Subway is one of those places that you will frequent once a week, because you know exactly what you are getting …

Kellogg’s Corn Pops with Fiber Cereal
Growing up, we shopped at Costco where we only had access to the trio of sugary cereals: Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, and Trix. I never got to try any other type of cereal other than those three and Raisin Bran. Now older, I have no desire to …
Skoal Pouches Wintergreen
Skoal Pouches may not prove to be a healthy alternative to long cut chewing tobacco or smoking, but it does not have many of the negatives of both. When using tobacco pouches, the actual tobacco does not touch your gums, it rests inside of a fiber-woven pouch, with …
St. Louis Bread Company Smokehouse Turkey Panini
This is my fourth Panini that I’m trying from Panera. They have a total of five different kinds of Panini on their Signature Hot Panini menu and I was on number four. Unlike the other Panini, which are on thick Italian breads like focaccia and ciabatta, this …

Kelloggs Coco Pops

Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Supreme Pizza Snacks
I’ll say one thing about Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Supreme Pizza Snacks, and that one thing is, they sure did manage to cram a variety of toppings into each and every one of these small snack bites! There’s cheese, tomato, pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper and perhaps another one …

I was sure wrong about that.
These are some of the most …

Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips
One of the reasons that I do not feel as guilty about eating chicken at Chick-fil-A is because they use refined peanut oil to cook their chicken products. That is definitely a healthier way to prepare fried chicken! The Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips are no exception, and they too are prepared …
Turbo Plus Fruit Flavoured Crystals Drink Mix (Peach)

Cedarlane Mushroom and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
I knew that I should not bother purchasing the Cedarlane Mushroom and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales. I had a feeling I was not going to like what these tamales had to offer. Yet, I did, and it goes to show that I should have stuck with my gut. The …
Matouk’s Tomato Paste
I had never used tomato paste until I started cooking a few years back and ran across a recipe for pizza which called for tomato paste as an ingredient in the sauce. I went to the grocery store and was faced with a wide selection which comes in bottles …
Zero Impact
Agreeably, staying in great shape is not a walk in the park. That’s why I’m delighted when my mom brought home some protein bars that she recently bought.

Fry Krisp Krispy Country Chicken Mix
I love krispy fried chicken. For me, that is so much better than the bread crumb fried chicken version. But, I am a little picky about the type of krispy. I do not like the Colonel Sanders “chunky” krispy fried chicken; I just look for something …
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Macaroni and Cheese: Cheddar
So it seems like nowadays more brands are getting on what I like to call the band wagon of Macaroni and cheese. There’s so many variations out there that sometimes it can get a little overwhelming. Many of us are big fans of Kraft, and know nothing else. I’m …
Wylwood Sliced Beets
Wylwood Sliced Beets are canned cooked beets that you simply open, warm up and eat. They are sweet and juicy; I suppose if you just boil fresh beets with some sugar you will achieve similar result. While I do like beets and make several dishes with them, I am …

Mrs. Freshley’s Cherry Pie
Like the berry pie, Mrs. Freshley’s Cherry Pie is quite delicious on the inside but pretty poor when it comes to the bland and dry crust. The cherry filling is really very satisfying and rich, plus it has an authentic taste to it, which is something that is certainly …
Happy Harvest Kidney Beans
A few days ago, I decided to make chili. One of the ingredients I needed was kidney beans so I used a couple cans from the brand Happy Harvest.
I have purchased other items from this brand in the past and, with few exceptions, I have been very happy with …
Raley’s Fine Foods Microwave Popcorn - Extra Butter

General Mills - Multi-Bran Chex
General Mills - Multi-Bran Chex is really a bland cereal. It is a nutritious cereal, but it is a bland cereal. There is not much flavor to this cereal unless you go and add it, say in the for of fruits or sugar. However, that could reduce the overall …
Applebee’s Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich
I tried almost every chicken sandwich that has been offered at sit-in and fast food restaurants. When someone gave me a gift card for Applebee’s for my birthday, I tried their Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich. It sounded hearty and promising —“ grilled chicken breast with BBQ sauce …

There are times were I can appreciate store bought frozen meals. Not all of them are horrid, and can be quite tasty. I usually take advantage and buy a fair share whenever my neighborhood grocery store is having a sale on a few of my favorite brands.
Michelinas is …
Red Lentils in general
I was a vegetarian for a good few years before I realised how valuable red lentils could be to me. Lentils somehow never sounded very nice and anyway I did not want to be a lentil-eating hippie like Neil from The Young Ones. The other thing that …
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza
Along with sausage, pepperoni is a favorite pizza topping of mine. It is not always easy to go about finding a pizza that boasts flavorful and plentiful pepperoni, but now that a Marco’s Pizza opened up about ten minutes from my house around three months ago, I now no …
Great Value Meatballs
I wanted some snacks last week for New Years Eve and one thing I ended up picking up was a bag of meatballs from the brand Great Value.
I love eating meatballs, plain, using a toothpick and this was the perfect brand for that. First, there were many more meatballs …
Wendy’s - Ultimate Chicken Grill
Wendy’s - Ultimate Chicken Grill is a sandwich that is, admittedly, huge. The large chicken breast will really make your eyes go wide! Unfortunately, I just did not care for this sandwich too much because I am not a great big fan of grilled chicken. I much prefer the …
Crying Tiger Ramen Noodle Soup: Pad Thai Flavor

I like almost all Haribo products because they are all delicious and of a great quality. My sister bought Haribo Chamallow Mix today, one bag has 175g and we ate almost half of it in 5 minutes. Then I took the bag and hid it in the kitchen because …
McDonalds Big McMeal
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 …
Reed’s Ginger Brew
Many of us have grown painfully accustomed to generic brands of gingerale that are essentially composed entirely of sugar, water, and molecules that may have once, at some point in their physical existence, resembled something that might have been classified as ginger.
Reed’s ginger ale (achohol-free), though slightly more expensive, …
