Strauss Organic milk
I’ve been into organic foods for a while now, but have noticed a distinct difference between Strauss Organic milk and other major brands of organic milk that can be purchased in any grocery store. First of all the presentation is beautiful and seems very old-world as it comes in …
Dieter’s delight tea
There is a lot of dieter’s tea on the market and some of them are from China. I used the one called Dieter’s delight tea for dieting and I can tell you that it has some safety issues there. The tea is for you to control your appetite …
Nestle Vanilla Sandwiches
To be quite honest, I’m not sure how to review Nestle Vanilla Sandwiches, and here’s why. I’ve had what I’ve always called Nestle Ice Cream Sandwiches purchased from my grocery store in 6-pack boxes. I really wasn’t that fond of them. Now years before, there …
Great Value Vegetable Beef Condensed Soup
This soup didn’t sit well with me. I’m sure it was due to the chunks of beef. They were kind of flavorless and not so tender, either. They required quite a lot of chewing and when I was chewing the meat, I wasn’t really enjoying it because the flavor …
Rebisco Crackers 4 Big Pieces (35 g)
The Rebisco Crackers 4 Big Pieces is one of the Crackers that I want to eat together with my noodles with soup. It tastes good.
One morning, I feel so cold and I want to eat noodles with soup. Noodles with soup are not enough for me to be not …
Harvest Wheat Macaroni & Cheese
What a terrible, terrible boxed macaroni and cheese mix this is. Harvest Wheat Macaroni & Cheese does not have a single positive quality going for it, aside from the so-so noodles. The cheese is perhaps the biggest reason why this boxed mix is not worth any amount of money. …
Bumblebee Tuna in Oil
I am not a fan of fish! I like other seafood though but fish in particular isn’t one of those things my taste buds take kindly to. I was surprised when I tasted Bumblebee’s Tuna in Oil though. My grandmother had made it for me at the time (I …
Trader Joe’s Kalamata Olive Hummus
I was intrigued by this hummus because I love the taste of kalamata olives. These are large purplish-black almond-shaped Greek olives that have a lovely texture that is similar to meat. Trader Joe’s hummus tends to have a pasty, rather than creamy, texture to it, which is not something …

Little Debbie - Chocolate Chip Muffins
Little Debbie - Chocolate Chip Muffins is a particular variety of muffin that I am not all that crazy about. I do not care very much for chocolate chips or chocolate flavor in my muffins. I much prefer the flavor to be a part of cookies, cake, brownies and …
Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton

Why would I bother to cook pancit canton the regular way, when I can have almost the …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cinnamon Bun
The Cloverhill Bakery - Cinnamon Bun is not something that I will be looking to purchase again because I did not enjoy the bun all that much aside from the soft dough. Oh sure, it was definitely sweet, but the problem I have is, there is too much emphasis …
Food Club Garlic Bread
We made a lasagna dinner last night and, as we usually do whenever we have pasta, we decided to get some garlic bread to go with it.
We didn’t have a whole lot of money to spend so we kept within a tight budget and bought the cheapest brand we …
Aunt Jemima: Lite Syrup
Aunt Jemima: Lite Syrup is really a horrible syrup! I tried this syrup because it offered significantly less sugar than the regular syrups, but boy oh boy does the reduction of sugar result in a massive reduction of flavor which seriously ruins the entire breakfast. This syrup had such …
Burger King Whopper
This is a single patty, but you can order a double or triple Whopper sandwich with more patties. The single Whopper is big enough for my husband, however (I always opt for the smaller Whopper Jr.)
The Whopper comes with a patty on a sesame seed bun with lettuce, pickles …
Lucky Me Pancit Canton
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. …
Benton’s Cookies Candy Cane Chocolate Sandwich Cremes
Just as autumn is a great time of the year for those that can’t get enough of pumpkin, once December arrives, it’s all about peppermint! Well, it might not all be about peppermint, but that’s a pretty common ingredient in foods and drinks during the Christmas season. If you’re …
Trader Giotto’s Fusilli Pasta with Tomato Basil Sauce

Elmlea Double Cream
I bought some Elmlea Double Cream not really noticing that it was not standard cream, but it was really delicious and fresh so I will make a point of buying this in future. Elmlea is actually a blend of vegetable oils and buttermilk which has the advantages of …
Minh Pork Egg Rolls
While over an relative’s house, I was given the opportunity to try pre-made frozen egg rolls from minh. As with many people, I like to either make my own egg rolls fresh from scratch or get them from Jack in the box. I can honestly say that Minh has …
Folgers Classic Decaf
Folgers Classic Decaf is naturally decaffeinated coffee, with rich tasty flavor that is almost no different from regular Folgers. I have no idea how they managed to get the caffeine out of coffee and still have it tasting like coffee, but they did it. I know some coffee addicts …
Pringles Stix - Crunchy Wheat
Wheat, while it may not have very much flavor or cause mouths to water, is a pretty nutritious and important food product to have in one\’s diet. This flavor variety of Pringles Stix, if the word flavor is even appropriate here, is not something that is going to cause …
UFC Cook n’ Dip Catsup Blend Honey Barbecue
I suck at cooking big time. I need all the help I can get whether it be a recipe book or a seasoning, and I often turn to the internet for some tips. So when my mother asked me to make a simple Sirloin Tips dish for dinner, I …
Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum
I am going to write about a chewing gum that I have been using from my childhood. Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum’s taste is very well used to my taste buds now. The juicy fruit has a very sweet taste of mixed fruits. The chewing gum is very reasonably …
Stouffers Macaroni and Cheese
I am a true macaroni and cheese lover. I am one of those people who actually orders it at restaurants. It seems silly but each version is a little different. What type of cheese will it have, will it have bacon or ham in it, these …
Lady’s Choice Tuna Spread
This is another variation of the Lady’s Choice products made by Unilever. What I love about this sandwich spread is its very real taste as well as its health benefits. It is made up of real bits of tuna and a …

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 …
Junior Mints
I am not a sweet tooth kind of girl, but I do get a craving for chocolates from time to time. One of my personal favorites is Junior Mints. I have loved Junior Mints since my childhood when my mother would get them for me every Christmas and we …
Great Value Brats
Ever since I first saw Great Value brats at our local Walmart, I have wanted to try them. But, even though they are a store brand, they have always been more expensive than the Johnsonville brats I normally buy so I never did.
This past weekend, however, they were about …

Magnolia Cream Cheese Spread
I was a loyal user of Cheez Whiz when I came to know Magnolia Cream Cheese. During that time I was looking for alternative for Cheez Whiz since it was not available. I choose Magnolia since I haven’t tried it and I find the consistency thick because I opened …

Yoplait Source Yoghurt
I am a huge fruit flavoured yoghurt fan. I do find however; that yoghurts can be quite high in fact and calories, and as I dislike the low fat ones sweetened with asparatine, I only buy them as a treat.
Not any more! I have found a great low fat …
