Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
I’ve been hearing a lot about the health benefits of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar so I was convinced to try using this product in my cooking instead of the ordinary clear vinegar we have in the market although this is of course comparatively much more expensive. I think …
Fit & Active Blueberry Fruit & Grain Cereal Bars
Of the three flavors of cereal bars offered through the Fit & Active line of products found at Aldi, I love the blueberry cereal bars the most and these are the only fruit flavored cereal bars that I’ll purchase of the three. I tried both the strawberry and the …
Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar-Free Cookies
Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …
Tortellini Four cheeses (BARILLA)
BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …
San Mig Coffee Pro-Power
I love coffee and I experiment with different kinds of coffee all the time in my quest to find the best one. I love them brewed of course, but I am not averse to the 3-in-1 variety which is so convenient. I am taste-tasting all the different kinds of …
Crystal Canyon Sparkling Apple-Pear
The label on this delicious beverage describes it as appropriate for a “champagne occasion — without the alcohol.” As I write this, my better half is scarfing down a saucer of pear wedges over which he has poured a shot of this sparkling treat, and he …
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes breakfast cereal
It probably sounds fairly cliched to say it, but sometimes I find that the original really is the best, and that is most definitely the case when it comes to corn flakes. Although I have often been quite favourably impressed by the supermarket own brands, none of them has …
Butlers Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Bar
I am not a chocoholic but I really love chocolates. I have a “sweet tooth” they say. But as far as possible, I control myself not to have too much of it because I know excessive intake of chocolate won’t bring about good effects in our body. I am …
Silver Spoon Half Spoon Low Calorie Sugar
I actually bought this low calorie sugar by accident as I had intended to pick up some —˜loads of calories’ normal sugar instead. I have tried it out of course and having tasted it, I am going to gradually mix it into my normal sugar and get rid …
Bremer Select Italian Style Meatballs
Finding good frozen meatballs isn’t a task that is easily accomplished. Frozen meatballs simply don’t taste as good or come as solid as homemade meatballs. Making meatballs at home though requires time and time is not always something that I have in abundance. Thus, purchasing pre-made frozen meatballs for …
Lindor Truffles Chocolate
A friend introduced me to a new chocolate temptation: Lindor Truffles. This delicious chocolate candy comes in 3 varieties: dark, milk, and white chocolate. Each one has this amazing smooth filling, made of “melting chocolate” which is actually the company’s secret recipe. The first kind I tried was milk …
Panera Bread Strawberry Scones
Panera Bread is a top-quality restaurant. They have delicious high-quality food. I have tried all their scones, but my very favorite is the strawberry scones. They come in a normal scone size and in a mini size. The mini scones come in a tub with …
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 …
Our Family Enriched White Bread
Since I was picking up lunch meat last night (I found it on sale), I decided I probably should buy a loaf of bread too. We had some bread at home already. But, with sandwiches, we go through it too fast and I didn’t want to risk running out.
Since …
Taco Bell Cheesy Roll-Up
I went to my local Taco Bell to try some of the new products on their value menu.The first new product I decided to try was the Cheesy Roll-Up.It’s on the new 79 cent menu.
I was looking forward to trying the Cheesy Roll-Up.I remembered a few years ago,Taco Bell …
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 …
Best Choice Orange Blast Flavor Sports Performance Drink
Both of my sons play sports, so we are at some sort of athletic field almost everyday of the week. They do drink a lot of water, but they also enjoy sports drinks. I do not mind buying them because I know they help replace lost electrolytes, but they …
Carnation Instant Breakfast Chocolate Drink: Complete Nutritional Drink
I purchased the Carnation instant breakfast chocolate drink because I had started a fitness regimen, and I wanted to incorporate a healthy breakfast drink. I’m not really into diets or diet drinks, but the Carnation instant breakfast chocolate drink didn’t appear to be a diet drink, and I love …
Danish Butter Cookies
One of my favorite gifts I got for Christmas this year was two tins of the Danish Butter Cookies. That may seem odd to some people. I however like some of the simplest things in life more than the expensive gifts people give. You see I love the rich …
FirstNice musli bar, cranberry and raspberry in yogurt
OK, I admit I am a big sucker when it is about raspberry, I just adore them and I automatically think that everything with raspberry will be good too. I don’t have to tell you that I am wrong very often because mostly products on the base of raspberry …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheesy Garlic Lasagna
Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheesy Garlic Lasagna is a bland meal that I have no real reason to purchase a second time. Although the name on the box of this lasagna sounds quite tasty, the actual product does not do a good job at all of living up to its …
Walmart’s Potato Wedges
When I had went on vacation in the USA I had the pleasure of trying a food by the name of potato wedges. It was the second time I was having these delightfully cooked potato wedges but it was definitely from a different source.
I have notice, that no matter …
Dr. Pepper Soda
How does anyone drink a Dr. Pepper Soda? I’d really like to know because I can’t stand this beverage. Now, I love their commercials. I grew up with ‘he’s pepper, she’s a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too?’ Unfortunately for the Dr. …
Classico Vodka Sauce
I love all things food, so this is no exception. In discovering this amazing sauce, I found my absolute favorite food. I had heard of vodka sauce in the past, but had never tried it. Then I went grocery shopping (at Kroger) and found a 26 oz. jar of …
Sprite Soda
I haven’t drank the soda Sprite in some time, but I still remember the taste of it being that it has a very distinct taste from all the other sodas I have tasted. I also don’t get the impression that it is many people’s favourite soda either, and even …
L’oven Fresh Chocolate Chip Brownies
Packaged brownies will never, ever taste as moist or as fresh as freshly baked brownies at home. That being said, these pre-made brownies aren’t bad, but they aren’t as moist and soft as I would have liked them to be. They get softer if I warm them up in …
Quaker Real Medleys: Cherry Pistachio Oatmeal
I was given the opportunity to try Quaker Real Medleys: Cherry Pistachio Oatmeal recently. Since I am in love with oatmeal, and enjoy a good mixture. I have trusted Quaker oatmeal for as long as I can remember. So in a sense I wasn’t hesitant to try a product …
IKEA’s $1 breakfast
I’m not sure if this is available everywhere (but I’m pretty sure yes), but the ones I’ve been to in Ontario offer this. Just for one dollar, there’s a cup of coffee, sausages, croissant, fries, and scarmbled eggs. The food is not at all greasy/oily, and actually covers many …
Big Butt Doppelbock by Leinenkugel
Yes, it is true I like Big Butt’s. Well, at least I like Leinenkugel’s Big Butt. This is a great example of a doppelbock style beer made by the Wisconsin microbrewery. As we move from the heavy winter beers towards the lighter beers of spring, doppelbock style beers will …
McCain Smiles
I do like Potato products and have these now and again. I could probably eat a whole bag of these as they are so yummy but they are quite filling as well.
These are frozen so you find them in the Freezer section. They come in a 454g bag …
Nido Instant Full Cream Milk by Nestle
I think everyone of us really knows how good milk to strengthen our body muscles, bones and teeth. My doctor once told me that milk can prevent osteoporosis. It is also a good source for energy being part of the Go food group.
I have tried many brands of …
Jimmy Dean Muffin Sandwiches
This is yet another Jimmy Dean product that I purchase a great deal — Jimmy Dean Muffin Sandwiches. The product is also available as a croissant, but I’ve never tried it.
The muffins are made with sausage, egg, and cheese. It’s ample size, so makes a filling meal. …
Old El Paso Heat & Serve Rice
Heat & serve rice is the kind that comes in the plastic “bag” that you can rip the top, put it right in the microwave & 90 seconds later have hot, fluffy rice. I have used other brands in the past and loved them - they can be …
Andes Cherry Jubilee Thins
Andes Mints are something that I was likely to find during the holidays when I was a child. Every year it seemed like my parents bought a box and kept them in the cupboards for those times when company came over. If they didn’t buy a box, the odds …
Monster Energy Drinks
I’ll admit it: I’m addicted to energy drinks. But my complaint about most energy drinks is that they taste horrible. The reason I love Monster energy drinks is because they deliver great taste and a refreshing boost of energy.
I think my favorite Monster beverage is Monster Mixxd. This drink …
Trident Layers with Real Fruit Flavor Sugar Free Gum
This is a brand new gum and I just tried it for the first time last week and I am not sure if I like the taste of the gum or the really cool packaging better!
I bought the green apple and golden pineapple flavor gum. I only buy …
While’s Shots Chocolate Coffee Liqueur Flavour
I am talking about a Hot chocolate drink with the hint of Coffee Liqueur. You can buy them at your local supermarket and find that there are near the coffee, Tea isle and there are a wide arrange of flavours to choose your mood.
There is hardly any fat, but …
Quality Streets
These have got to be my favourite mixed chocolates of all time. When I was younger the only time we had Quality Streets was at Christmas when we would get a big tin in. I used to look forward to Christmas Eve when I would be allowed to open …
Diet Dr. Pepper
Now, I like Diet Dr. Pepper, but I don’t agree with the commercials that it taste like the original. Or, that it doesn’t taste like a diet drink. I do think it’s the best tasting diet drink I’ve tried. It doesn’t have the bad “sweetener” aftertaste like …
Sunkist orange juice drink
This is a wonderful healthy juice drink packed with 200% of Vitamin C and I must say this is for real. I learned about this juice drink while I was looking for an orange juice to drink because I had a really and bad cold. What caught my …
Nestle Rolo Cookies
These lovely big cookies, called Rolo Cookies from Nestle, were going cheap at Sainsbury’s and I just had to have them. They only cost me 50 pence, reduced from one pound and for that you get five big, thick, crumbly cookies. They are called Rolo Cookies because …
Kirkwood Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites
The Kirkwood Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites come in a twenty-five point five ounce bag and sell for a little under six dollars. Although I found this product to be halfway decent, I wasn’t impressed with it enough to consider buying another bag after I finished my first bag. One …
King Mountain Premium Blend Full Flavor Cigarettes
I usually smoke Marlboro but I’ve switched to King Mountain because they actually taste better and are nearly half the price! I can still get a great pack of smokes for $1.79 where I live. It’s a bad habit but if you’re looking to cut back on expenses but have …
Chungs Pork Egg Rolls
I just purchased a box of Chung’s Pork Egg Rolls and they are excellent. There are 4 egg rolls in a box, each egg roll is about the size of the ones you would get in a Chinese restaurant. They can be prepared in the microwave or in the …
Marks & Spencer’s Cappuccino Chocolate Sponge Roll
For the past years, Marks & Spencer has been coming up with cakes and pastries that just seem to lure you when you look at their displays. I finally decided to try out the Cappuccino Chocolate Sponge Roll. It cost Php215 per box.
It came in a sturdy, …
Nestle Crunch Bar - Original
For a spin on my favorite chocolate bar, I always enjoyed having a Nestle Crunch Bar. Made of milk chocolate and crisped rice, it was a crunchy alternative, and it was fun to eat.
I have wondered in recent years if the company has changed its ingredients, as co …
McCormick 7 Super Spices
When it comes to Spices I have learned to trust McCormick. Indeed they are comparatively higher in price compared to other brands but the sophisticated presentation and superior taste are worth of purchase. My kitchen is never without the complete set of McCormick 7 Super Spices such as Ginger, …
Coffee bite chocolates
The Coffee bite is the name of the chocolate, which is also very different in taste unlike any other normal chocolates. Actually the coffee bite chocolate gives the real taste of the coffee. Those who love the have the coffee all the time, for such people the …
