I have a child at home with me all day that is nearly three years old so I’m constantly on the look out for foods that are quick and easy in case we have a bad day. On my last trip to Wal-Mart with the family I was looking …

I never know how to cook until I went abroad to work. I had no choice, it’s either eating out, which is more expensive, or cooking at home. Eating out is not only more expensive, but I have to eat the same food over and over again. So I …

This weekend, I finally visited one of the places I have been wanting to see for some time now, the Springbank Cheese Company. It is advertised as one of Calgary’s premier cheese stores, and as cheese is one of the highlights of my life, I was looking forward to it. …

The other day I decided to try one of these Cinnamon Crumb Cakes for a snack. This is also the first time that I had tried a Café W product from Walgreen’s. The snack is actually a muffin, even if the product’s name says “cake”. And like a muffin, …

My friend suggested that I try Dannon Activia products for my often-upset stomach, because she said they always help settle her stomach and keep her system working well and feeling good. I bought a package of 4 drinks, just to see if they did anything at all. With frequent …

Out of so many brands of instant coffee, I still love to drink Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee. The Nescafe 3-in-1 Strong is too strong for me, and the Nescafe 3-in-1 Mild has no coffee taste at all.
At least Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee mix has the aroma …

I tried the Mtn Dew Citrus Cherry flavor of soda. All I can say is…YUK! This soda I can honestly say tasted worse to me than nasty cough medicine!
This is a limited-time offering from Pepsi that was inspired by the video game called World of Warcraft. …

With my busy schedules each day, I seldom get the chance to go around shopping for groceries. I just have to buy one week’s supply over the weekend.
One item I would never forget to buy is …

As this is a drink I was unsure what category to put this in so here it is stuck in the food one.
Pear cider..what’s so exciting about that? Well apparently years ago orchard owners kept a corner of their orchard for growing pears for their cider as they believed …

This is the brand that I often buy in my country. Most people in this country like to drink instant coffee, not the fresh coffee like what I used to drink in Europe. And this Indofood Coffeemix is one of the brand that I like to drink in the …

I can remember that the first time I bought and became familiar with the Nestle Drumstick was when I was either in my earlier years of high school or maybe before I went there. MY family and I immediately became fans since we had never tasted ice cream like …

I never used to like coffee very much to the point where I would wonder what other people found to like in its taste. However these days I have begun to appreciate a mug of coffee now and then. I have also come to realise that that not ever …

One of the food items which my family will buy constantly is “Nestle Betty Condensed Milk.” This is because not only is it affordable, but it tends to be convenient in many ways.
One of the reasons is because it comes in a tin. Therefore it tends to last …

Yoplait Trix yogurt aren’t just for kids. Now I’m not a big fan of yogurts and I’ve tried a lot of them. Some are chalky some are very sweet. Others are runny, grainy, too tangy, too bland, too thick. The thick ones you gotta eat slow or you’re liable …

This breakfast syrup product is definitely not worth trying. I bought some by mistake because the label on front had a sticker on it that hid the word “Lite”. I had been buying the company’s (Pinnacle foods group) regular County Kitchens syrup for some time and was happy with …

I really enjoyed the thick and flavorful taste of the soup. The …

Being vegan it makes it hard to find a good old fashion TV dinner. I know that it is better to prepare fresh homemade meals, but sometimes it is nice to have something you can pop in the oven, without any thought.
I often keep Amy’s Enchilada frozen meals …

It seems like I can always rely on Amy’s to make yummy packaged food. The Amy’s Enchiladas are no different. Just good and natural.
I love their enchiladas. They take 5 minutes in the microwave, but do not taste like a microwave food. They taste like …

Pascia cappuccino looks very …

I like the packaging of the Bibica’s ChocoChips. The box is as big as a ream of A4 papers, and the image of chocolate chip cookies really look big and nice.

First the …
