Of all coffees, not just specialty brands, I have to say this is my absolute favorite coffee. This brand is widely known, so I wasn’t hesitant to use it. It was given to me as a gift, so I only drink it on special occasions.
My mother and I …

Although Mrs. Freshley’s Easter: Cottontail Snowballs are only around for about one month of the year, I find that to be okay because there is nothing special about these snowballs. I can purchase snowballs at any time of the year and they are pretty much identical to these. The …

Recently, I have been hearing and reading about the benefits of coconut such as coconut oil and coconut water. I drink a lot of water every day, trying to stay hydrated and healthy. So, I began to wonder if I should try coconut water.
I had always read and heard …

Here in Trinidad fudge is definitely different from the stuff I have had in the USA. One day while walking through the mall I saw a candy stall which was selling a variety of sweets and even preserves and they had this freshly made fudge. It came in all …

Natty Daddy is a last resort beverage made by the Anheuser-Busch corporation. With 8% concentrated alcohol, it’s very clear what the purpose of Natty Daddy is. This beverage used to be 24 oz of pure death but now they have upped the volume to 25oz! Despite the extra ounce, …

I was never a big fan of prunes or dried plums in the past, but I was looking for a sweet, healthy snack the other day and the pretty blue tube shaped container of Sunsweet Ones California Prunes caught my attention. It had been years since I had …

Libby’s Vienna Sausage is one of my kids’ all-time favourite foods. They could be my favourite as well too. Simply, they are ready to eat, and are very nutritious. Unlike other brands, Libby’s Sausages are made up of chicken, beef and pork. What could be healthier than that?
They …

A sandwich isn’t a sandwich unless you have a good bread to hold it together. Sure the sauce and the meat and cheese with vegetables is one thing, but the bread is a whole other thing in itself. That’s why I decided to try sour dough bread from …

By the coffee’s name IBARAKU, you can directly associate it with Japan. But based on one of the Philippine’s local dialect, “BARAKU” means something grand or fully grown, which can be associated with something strong and active. But then, this coffee is not that strong by its name …

I love Dr. Pepper! It is honestly one of my favorite soft drinks of all time. I try to avoid soda most of the time, but Dr. Pepper gives me that tingly, fizzy, sweet-but-not-too-sweet type of taste that I crave sometimes. Pepsi and Coke don’t have …

If a person is looking for an easy way to incorporate more fiber into his or her diet, then the General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bars Oats and Chocolate may be worth looking into. One daily serving and a person will take in a whopping thirty-five percent of his …

This product is called instant lunch for a reason, it is quick. It is exactly the same thing as cup of noodles, but that name was taken by another company so they went with instant lunch I guess. I still think of this as cup of noodles though, …

Christmas time is when my friends and family scattered around the world start sending me candy to share at the holidays. I have a lot of friends living in different parts of the US and since they know how much I love candy, they’re always trying to send me …

Trader Joe’s Popped Potato Chips are not fried, so there is no grease to be found accompanying the potato chips, and are not baked, but instead, popped. I had never heard of this means of making potato chips before, although apparently, it does work, as this product made its …

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 …

One of the trusted brands of noodles is Lucky Me Pancit Canton. For me this is the number one. This becomes my favorite viand for rice when I was in college. Lucky Me Pancit Canton is the witness to all the rollercoaster ride of my life during my thesis. …

New York Style - Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips make for a sweet snack to have in the afternoon. The combination of cinnamon and sugar is rich and does a great job of awakening my senses when I am feeling drowsy. I really like how there is a fine balance …

Who doesn’t want to have an extravagant birthday party for their kids,especially when it happens to be their first birthday to celebrate? I think all of us will agree that we want it. This was what my Aunt wanted when she decided to let Jollibe handle the first birthday …

The other day I went to one very cheap store called Getro. Usually I don’t really like buying stuff at cheap stores, especially not the stuff to eat because you never know if they are going to be good or not. On the shelf with sweet stuff I saw …

My daughter just woke up from her nap and, since she hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast (it’s now 2 in the afternoon), I went looking for something for her to eat.
She wasn’t really eating her lunch (she ate part of it but the cat kept distracting her), I decided …

For getting Mrs. Freshley’s Back To School: Powdered Sugar Mini Donuts on sale, they were worth what I paid. Although by no stretch of the means fantastic, I nonetheless found these powdered sugar donuts to be enjoyable in taste. The powdered sugar covered a donut that seemed fresh and …

I was curious how vegan restaurants started to sprout all across the Metro. I found Healthy Kitchen because their Boca burger is included in the 10 “Must-Try” veggie burgers in Manila and was hailed by PETA as the best tasting veggie burger in their Golden Buns Awards. Sounds interesting …

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 …

Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Margherita Flatbread is probably something that is geared towards vegetarians or for those that simply love vegetables. I personally find the sandwich to not be filling at all, really. It is sort of fine if I am not too hungry and it is lunch time and …

Along with the Banana Creme and Strawberry varieties produced by Yoplait, the French Vanilla variety is among my favorites. Vanilla, in general, I love, especially in the form of ice cream, but it is very tasty in yogurt too, as this product proves. Every spoonful is rich in French …

The new Cantina tacos at Taco Bell are just over $2 each, but do come in a combination meal for $6 including a drink. With the heavy advertising centered on the double-thick soft corn tortilla shells, fresh cilantro, lime, and deliciously seasoned meats, I felt compelled to at …

Even though I love eating at BBQ restaurants and on the go trucks, there is something about KFC BBQ wings that I’ve become loyal to. The small box of six is okay, but it’s the big box that has my stomach growling with happiness.
The reason I love KFC BBQ …

Product Description: Frozen pieces of breaded shrimp available at Walmart for about $4.
What I liked about this product: Normally, when I buy popcorn shrimp, I can expect very small pieces with little meat in them. That was not the case with this brand. The Great Value brand’s idea of …

These apple chips are just the opposite of Green Tree Apple Chips Caramel, and not in a good way! The Green Tree Apple Chips Caramel were pretty bland in flavor, and these apple chips are ridiculously sweet to the point where they were upsetting my stomach. It’s not even …

I am a big Chinese and Japanese food fan I especially enjoy a good miso soup. That is why when I saw this at the grocery store I knew that I had to buy it. I paid a little over $2.00 for it which was not too bad and …

When I was working most of the time I liked to take my lunch with me, especially during the winter when I didn’t want to face the cold. I like a variety of foods, and when I would pack my lunch I would like to eat a snack along …

I had bought a small bottle of Goya Apple Cider Vinegar a couple months ago because of two main reasons. The first one was that “Goya” was more affordable than the other brands I saw, as well as I had read about the benefits of apple cider vinegar and …

We had been hearing all the commercials about the McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito and seen where they talked about it on a couple of morning news programs, as nutrition experts decried how many calories and grams of fat this breakfast item had. Of course, this piqued our curiosity. …

While out, someone suggested that I try a new pre-mixed bottled alcoholic drink made by Bacardi. I was a little apprehensive at first because some of these drinks don’t really taste very potent. Or they are so full of sugars that you can’t really taste …

Krusteaz Key Lime Bar Mix produces bars that I am not too, too crazy about. I mean, the lime bars are alright, but I probably will not purchase these bars again for a good long while, if ever again. I will say though that there are some definite positives …

Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Baby Swiss Cheese is a cheese that I used to purchase and enjoy. I really liked this Swiss cheese because it was the type of cheese that I could put on my sandwich, be it a sandwich that consisted of lunch meat, hamburger or …

From all cheaper discounts I like Lidl the most. there you can find a lot of cheap things and most of them are really good, also the prices aren’t as high as in other shops, they aren’t much lower either but you can actually see the difference.
I like to …

Baileys is definitely my drink of choice and I love the majority of new flavours which are available now. I have recently however sampled the Biscotti flavour and must say I’m not completely impressed with it, the flavour seeming extremely harsh compared to other Baileys and spoiling the …

The great taste of a coke without the calories. Coca Cola zero tastes just like a regular coke, but it doesn’t have the calories of one. Much better than diet soft drinks, or previous attempts as low calorie sodas. This one tastes like the real thing.
I tried drinking …

I don’t see what’s so special about the Texas Toast from Pepperidge Farm. I never purchased the Texas Toast made by this company because it’s over three dollars a box until one day it was on sale for two dollars a box. I bought all four varieties because I …

Most of us use the cheese or the cheese cubes while preparing the food, just to garnish it with and also to feed it to our children. Actually in my home we all are the fans of the pizzas. And without garnishing the pizza with the cheese, the …

A few years ago, Taco Bell developed a couple of condiments that are simply fantastic. I’m talking, of course, about the company’s branded Mild Sauce and Hot Sauce. A few years later, Fire Sauce came along and it has proven popular enough to stick around. Those three sauces are …

This is a decent but somewhat bland cereal that I had once, but I likely will not purchase again due to the ingredients that are in this cereal. It has a number of different kinds of oats and the cereal is lightly flavored with what tastes like honey and …

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 …

I’m a big pasta person. And, even though I’m not a huge fan of Ragu spaghetti sauce; I saw a commercial about their clip it and pour it pouches and, being a bit fan of convenience, I figured it would be worth investing in.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.
I …

Looking for something to nibble while watching t.v., I happen to come across a can of nuts. I do not know who bought it, but it’s on top of our refrigerator so I easily grabbed it.
To my utter surprise, it read: BLUE DIAMOND ALMONDS BOLD (Wasabi & Soy Sauce). …

Recently, I have been doing research on the food value of honey. I have tried different brands this past year.I have found one brand of honey that is an “A plus” in my opinion. The taste is delicious and light. Bradshaw’s Spun Premium Honey 16 oz. For …

As a java addict, I’ve come to find that I drink upwards of three to five cups of coffee if it was a conservative day. I’ve even fulfilled my prescription to coffee at many different places, from every Starbucks within my area, to grocery store coffee, to even those …

I did not find anything all that remarkable or special about Mrs. Freshley’s Red Velvet Creme Cakes. I really did not find anything at all, actually, when it came to this snack. Just like with the pink snowballs, the food coloring makes for an attractive eye catcher, but other …

These are some really cool sea salt flakes. They aren’t crystals in the normal sense. They look like hollow pyramids, and they are really strong with the smokey flavor. It only takes a little bit, and adds a wonderful flavor to your food. It’s great …
