Growing up, there were two boxed candies that I adored — Junior Mints and Milk Duds. They were both purchased frequently. Then Milk Duds seemed to disappear. They weren’t around as much. In the last decade, though, they’ve reemerged.
Milk Duds make a great treat because …

These were a …

Spices such as garlic and onion add and bring out the flavor of the ingredients. In some Philippine cuisine, spices wouldn’t suffice; soy sauce is needed to complement the taste of the food. Our family has relied to Datu Puti Soy Sauce as far as I can remember. Since …

If I had to, I don’t think I could choose between the cheese-flavored “stix” and the jalapeno-flavored “stix”, both made by Pringles. Both are really good and great to have just as a snack or with a sandwich in place of potato chips. This review is about the cheese-flavored …
