Recently, I tried something new from the Deli department. This was an already prepared item — Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf — so it comes ready to cook in a plastic tray. It was a 1 pound, two ounce serving, so it’s quite a lot. It’s …

Bakeries always smell wonderful, all of them; the good ones usually have a great variety of baked goods, and some even have delicatessens. In the picturesque town of Steveston, in Richmond, B.C. where you can buy fish from the fishing boats moored in the harbour, there are many small …

I don’t know how people eat these bars in place of an actual meal! I eat one and it doesn’t hit the spot or do the trick for me. I couldn’t imagine substituting this bar for a meal and then having to go hours upon hours without eating again. …

I’ve learned about this Kellogg Special K Cereal from a gym buddy, while complaining about how I can’t stick to my diet, she recommended me this product and told me it really works on her. We’ll I must admit she looks great, she said she had been on this …

It’s actually called shrimp paste and it smells horrible uncooked. Well, it should, after all the ingredients were left to rot in huge jars. But if you sault it with garlic, onions, tomatoes and pork, it tastes wonderful. Just forget how it was processed. Bagoong is much like an …

As a coffee drinker I like to use liquid creamer instead of the standard powdered version of it. For the simple fact that its blends better than the power does. Not only does it blend better but it at times sweetens the coffee, enhances the flavor or better yet …

I love Amy’s convenient natural meals. I think I have tried just about everything, well everything of their vegan line anyway. This was my first time trying the Amy’s Split Pea, light in sodium, Soup.

I like that the ice cream has a really festive appearance, with …

I love Lee Kum Kee Sauces like the Oyster sauce that we have so I really bought this delicious sauce from Lee Kum Kee which is Teriyaki Sauce. My husband does not know anything about Japanese food so I was the one who introduce some dishes to him like …

Curiosity got the best of me one bright morning as a bag of Lays Cappuccino Flavored Potato Chips was brought before me. I’m not always a victim of curiosity, but in this current incident I was indeed one.
So I wasn’t one of those that followed the whole submit …

I’m not a big ice-cream fan but every now and then I get a little craving for it, and this particular tub of ice-cream is one of the kinds I get a craving for.
I first tried this ice-cream a couple of months ago and was suprised at just how …

Jell-o Gelatin - Grape variety is pretty gosh darn scrumptious! They certainly did a remarkable job of cramming a whole lot of grape flavor into this gelatin treat! Each time I take a spoonful of this gelatin, there is an eruption of grape flavor that floods my mouth and …

There is really something so delicious about Mee Rebus that I self declare that it is much more tastier than Mee Siam. What is Mee Rebus, you might ask.

I purchased these granola bars from Wal-Mart, they are the store brand and I wanted to compare them to the Nature’s Valley Sweet & Salty Granola Bars to see if I’d be able to get the same product for less money. I do not care what the packaging says …

As I mentioned in a previous review, my favourite types and brands of chocolates and sweets are those that I do not think are sickeningly sweet. This, a part from the price of it, was one of the things that attracted me to buying “Lucky Choco Chocolates”. These are …

Sweet Factory “World’s Smallest Jawbreakers” are my favorite candies. They look just like jawbreakers but are the smallest made anywhere. I have seen them range from about 2mm to about 6mm. I like to chew them instead of suck on them because they are hard but at the same …

Campbell’s Condensed Broccoli and Cheese Soup is the only one of the Campbell’s soups (that I can think of, at least) that you are supposed to cook with milk, not milk or water. There is a note on the back of the can, specifically stating so. I normally do …

Breakfast for me is usually a egg and sausage sandwich, and almost always eaten while I am on the go. Then there are the moments when I can sit down to a nice plate of breakfast. One product that I’ve come to enjoy with both of these methods of …

Munchies Ultimate Cheddar Mix is easily a big improvement over the Munchies Traditional Mix and that is largely in part due to the addition of the cheddar flavor. Even though cheddar is not a cheese that I have a whole lot of love for, I do find it to …

For me, coffee is essential to my daily living. I can’t start my day without it and my day is not complete without having any. So far, the best coffee that I ever tasted is from Panera Bread. I can still remember before I go to work and before …

In my opinion, there is nothing better than having an occasional chicken sandwich; however, not all brands who produce chicken patties are good. Originally, my mom started me on Tyson bread chicken patties, but it was I who would continue to eat them.
I like how the chicken patties …

I generally don’t buy sugar coated cereals , especially those that have quite a bit of artificial colouring added since they’re unhealthy and the older I get is the more likely these things will affect me. Nevertheless, recently I decided to lay down my rules for a little and …

For a clean, crisp drink of freshness there is nothing like the original 7-Up Soda to make you smile. I’ve had so many of the competitors over the years, from Sprite to Squirt, but none of them have ever come close to the purity of 7-Up.
As strange as …

As the name indicates, this is canned red grapefruit and nothing else. I bought it after trying (and liking) Del Monte’s Citrus Salad, where red grapefruit was one of three citrus ingredients. I enjoyed it there, so I bought this variety. Since I already knew what to expect, there …

The Jalapeno Burger from Carl’s Jr is good. It’s so good it’s scary in fact. And if you like spicy food, then this is the choice for you! It’s a very spicy burger and it’s also very tasty. If you think you can handle it then try it today.
The Jalapeno …
