Kellogg’s Smorz
I like smorz, but honestly, this cereal just cannot measure up to the real thing. Oh, it is good cereal, do not get me wrong, but I think those that enjoy smorz will taste the difference and the difference is a little disappointing. The marshmallow and chocolate flavor are …
Starbucks Mocha Frappachino
I have been addicted to Starbuck’s Mocha Frappachinos for quite some time, and I am pretty sure that they add something into their coffee drinks to make them so addicting that you come back for more. I also have to say that I think it is quite an …
Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese
The original boxed Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese has been around for many years now, really, before most other boxed macaroni and cheeses were ever conceived. It is still one of the best, although I have had others that have surpassed the quality of this boxed mix. Not many, …
Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale
Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale, or “Keith’s” as it is affectionatly referred to as here in Canada is a fantastic beer and one of my favorites. It was created by none other then Alexander Keith and is from the east coast Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Brewmasters have been …
NuGo Free’s Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Trail Mix Bar
Anyone with a lot of food sensitivities who’s trying to stay fit knows how difficult it can be trying to find protein bars or shakes that do not contain gluten, diary or soy as one of their main ingredients. I’m one of those people, so I’m always examining the …
Galaxy Chocolate
I have tried a lot of different chocolate in my time, and Galaxy, in my opinion has a great taste which is unlike any other chocolate I’ve tasted
Galaxy is owned by the Mars Company, and in some countries it sells as Dove. But here in the UK, the …
Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon
I purchased a package of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon recently after a glowing recommendation about it from a coworker. I got it at a local discount grocery store for $2.54 for a 12 ounce package. Considering how expensive pork bacon has gotten over the last couple of years, I …
Morrisons Chocolate Chunk Oaties Flapjacks
These Chocolate Chunk Oaties are amongst the best flapjacks I have ever tasted. They are Morrisons own brand with —˜The Cake Shop’ on the label and they can be found in their in-store bakery section with all the fresh bread. What I like about them is the …
Captain Crunch Cereal
Captain Crunch Cereal has been around unchanged for several decades. It is easy to see why when you taste it. There are other forms of Captain Crunch (Peanut Butter, Crunch Berries, even a chocolate one now) but the original Captain Crunch cereal, in the red box, remains the best.
Moms …
Kin Dee Instant Rice Noodles in Spicy Seafood
I love Thai food, but often do not have the time to make it. Usually I have bad results with cooking noodles, I either over or under cook. I decided to buy Kin Dee Instant Rice Noodles in Spicy Seafood, to use as a base for a Thai chicken …

Kroger Bite Size Frosted Wheat
Kroger Bite Size Frosted Wheat is a cereal sold only that Kroger grocery stores and it is a store brand cereal that is modeled after Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats. Like a lot of the Kroger store brand cereals that I have tried, this cereal surpasses the national brand in …
Kroger Strawberry Banana Lite Yogurt
This is one of my favorite yogurt flavors to pick up while at Kroger. I really like the blending of strawberries and bananas in this creamy, thick yogurt. The strawberry flavor definitely dominates over the banana flavoring, but the banana flavoring still manages to surface in every spoonful, and …
Bake and Churn (Robinsons Metro East)
This is not actually a restaurant, it is just a small stall or cart but their products are surprisingly delicious. So what I’m going to review now is their ice cream cakes that I love. (And it will be also your must add this to your “must try” list.)
Bake …
Truffettes de France French Truffles
The Filipinos have this very unique custom that whenever somebody comes home from somewhere, especially another country, the one coming home brings gifts to his friends and family, usually something indigenous to the place he just came from. So this Christmas, when our OFW relatives came home, they brought …
M&M’s Plain Chocolate
This brand has been around for ages. I think I started eating M&M’s when I was still a little kid. For some reason, this has always been one of my favorite chocolate pieces. More so than Toblerone, kisses and such. (Although I would have to say that the plain …
Rice-A-Roni Beef Flavored Rice
The Rice-A-Roni beef flavored rice is another favorite rice from the Rice-A-Roni lineup that I like to prepare. I like the beef flavored rice because it’s versatile and can pretty much go with type of meal that I’m preparing.
Because the cooking instructions differs for each flavor of rice, I …
Daiya dairy-free provolone style slices
Have you ever wondered what all those substitutes for cheese, meat, poultry, sausage, ice-cream taste like? I’m not vegan and I’m not dairy-free, but I’ve always wondered whether those things taste legit or not. I might not remember what real beef tastes like, but I do know the taste of …
Chick-fil-A Caesar Cool Wrap
The Caesar Cool Wrap from Chick-fil-A is a menu item that I will not be ordering again for a reason that is really pretty simple: I did not enjoy the wrap very much because I found it to be inferior to the other wraps served at the fast food …
Harmony Bay French Vanilla Creme Coffee
Choosing a brand of coffee can be difficult and annoying at times. There are so many brands and flavors to choose from. One specific brand that I like to drink is Harmony Bay French Vanilla Creme Coffee. This particular brand represents a wonderful value for all …
Kroger - Blackberry Pie
The blackberry pie baked straight from Kroger’s bakery is a little different from some of the other pies that the store sells. What separates this pie from say the apple or peach or blue berry pie is that it has a thicker crust to it. Now, I do not …
Nora Mill Granary Yellow Speckled Grits
While I was on vacation in Helen, Georgia, we went to the Nora Mill Granary located just south of Helen in the Sautee-Nacoochee Valley district. This is actually a historic stone grinding that opened in 1876. The mill is right on the Chattahoochee River and it is …
Gross Mint Flavored Soda
Ok, I really need to rant about this soda that I just saw in a store and bought. It was Gross!!! No seriously, don’t drink it! Lol. The name of the soda is called “St. Nick’s Candy Cane Cola”. The only way to describe this is to call it …
Best Choice Frozen Leaf Spinach
One of my favorite dishes to prepare is Italian spinach with garlic and parmesan cheese. I usually make this as a side dish once a week on spaghetti night. My husband insists that I use a name brand frozen spinach because he is accustomed to only buying …
New York Style - Baked Original Bagel ChipMix
New York Style - Baked Original Bagel ChipMix just did not do much for me. Compared to other snack mixes by other companies, where lots of garlic, for example, is used, this snack mix really does not have much to offer a person looking for something to energize his …
Crying Tiger Ramen Noodle Soup: Pad Thai Flavor
I love Ramen noodles, whether it be during the colder months of the year or when I am sick and want something more than chicken noodle soup. Not only because it’s a cheap food that can be brought almost anywhere, but because it is convenient. There are many different …
Quaker Instant Oatmeal
Except for the fact that it tastes like my niece’s baby food, it’s really good. There are different flavors like chocolate and banana and honey, but we buy chocolate flavor more often. The other flavor reminds me of the taste of bottled baby food, and it grosses me out. …
Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers
These things are so good my family really likes the broccoli and cheese sauce. It couldn’t be any easier to fix these, they just go straight from the freezer to the microwave, you don’t have to even open the package, just stand it up right in the microwave. They …
Trader Joe’s Cheese Tortellini
Trader Joe’s carries its fair share of packaged pasta. I love cheese tortellini, so when I saw this, I picked it out of the refrigerated section. Since it was only $2.00, I thought it was a good buy.
This tortellini comes in a ten-ounce package and is filled with ricotta, …
The Glory of Five Roses Tea
Aah Five Roses tea…. The very flavor of home and comfort. I have been drinking this tea since I was a wee young thing, running around the house with my tea bottle hanging from my lips - 3 parts milk to 1 part tea. Morning, noon, …
Sweet Sue Chicken And Dumplings
I love chicken and dumpling. Oh, heck, our entire family loves chicken and dumplings. We are a chicken loving family! However, that is not the case with Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings.
Sure, when I tried Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings, I knew that it would not …
Yoplait Strawberry
Yoplait Strawberry is another one of my top favorites of yogurt, along with the French Vanilla and Banana Creme varieties. The reason this variety ranks high with me is because I really like strawberries - be it just strawberries themselves, or strawberry ice cream or strawberry shortcake, whatever. If …
Louisiana Hot Sauce
I don’t eat hot sauce all the time, but when I’m in the mood for some, it has to be the best hot sauce. I hate dealing with sauces that put your mouth on fire, that’s why I eat my food topped with Louisiana hot sauce. It is spicy …
KFC Grilled Chicken
I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a KFC food addict, but they do have some great things on their menu that is worth ordering. There was a new item they were adding to their menu, grilled chicken, and they were doing this big promotion for it. KFC had never had …
Stagg Chili Country Brand with Beans
Stagg, I’d like to note in passing, has started putting their chili out in a cardboard Smart Pak, which is probably cheaper than cans and easier to open too - but you do need scissors or a knife.
The County Brand is decently flavorful, and seems to use good meat …
Sprouts Farmers Market Honey Wheat Pretzels
Pretzels seem to be the big thing right now. Just a few days before writing this review, I ran across a bag of soft pretzel rolls in the store, and not to mention I saw the billboard with the advertisement of the fast, food restaurant Wendy’s having a pretzel …
Diet Coke Plus
After several print ads and enticing television commercials boasting a calorie free sparkling beverage with vitamins and minerals I came upon a deal to good to pass up. Free Diet Coke Plus with purchase of my old faithful diet coke.
The new formulation of Diet Coke, Diet Coke Plus is …
Tapatio Limon Flavored Potato Chips
I was given the opportunity to try Lay’s Tapatio Limon Flavored Potato Chips one day when I had the craving for something crunchy. At the time I didn’t want to eat any granola, or find any trail mix. Fortunately enough my mom brought home a bag of …
Gatorade Frost: Glacier Cherry
Gatorade is the sports drinks that’s been around for over thirty years now. Generations have used the beverage to energize, recharge and of course play hard.

Kinky Vodka
I was having a girls night in and we all wanted to try new alcohols and critic them.
I am mixed drinks type of girl and it usually takes me twenty minutes to pick what I want out of the alcohol aisle. I am very picky when it comes …
Dark Mocha Frappucino
Just from the name frappucino, you might already know that this one come from the Starbucks. I enjoy coffee, infact i can say that i am addicted to coffee. A glass of coffee is a must for me. But not all coffee are good, i prefer the best taste …
Sinoloa Tortillas
Sinaloa tortillas are the best! Now, there has always been a monopoly on the tortilla market by a company known as Mission Tortillas. Simply put, they are not the best tortillas in the universe as you would think by the way every store in the universe seems …
Cedarlane Roasted Chile Relleno
I have never had Relleno before, so I had no idea whether I would enjoy it or not when I purchased it. However, it sounded good, and since I am usually pretty satisfied with the frozen meals that this company makes, I figured I would give it a try. …
Trails End Popcorn
Trails End popcorn is something my son’s boy scout troop sells every fall. It is how they make most of their money for summer camp and other scout functions during the year. It is very good popcorn. My favorite is the chocolate caramel crunch. The only thing I don’t …
Bel Air Mega Sub
Bel Air’s deli has a bunch of different sandwiches to choose from, but their granddaddy has to be their Mega Sub. This thing is positively huge, and it is definitely far more than one person can eat, or at least, that’s my take on it. For it …
Buddig Honey Ham Lunch Meat
If you’re like me you enjoy making a sandwich that’s packed with all the fixings. In my opinion the best part of a sandwich besides everything else is the lunch meat. I know when going to sandwich shops like subway or making my own sandwiches and wraps at …
Bacardi Silver RAZ
Not being a fan of beer, I sometimes buy a case of malt - a sweet beverage some refer to as “beer for ladies.” Recently, I have tried Bacardi Silver RAZ. It is a clear, slightly bubbly drink with the taste of raspberry. A pack of six 12 fl.oz. …
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger is a homemade skillet meal kit that includes pasta, sauce mix, and toping mix; additional 1 lb of hamburger meat is required. The cooking process is rather long, it is definitely not one of those “heat & eat” packages. First, you fry hamburger …
Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning
Since my childhood days, I remember that Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning has been used for our food preparations at home. At that time, I didn’t have any idea its significance in our food. Anyway, as years went on, different food seasonings have been introduced in the market. I actually prefer …
