The difference with the Steamfresh …

As I sit here enjoying a full-sized Hershey’s chocolate bar, contemplative of what to review next, the thought struck me. Why not say a few words about one of the biggest household names in America? Why not review my snacks with panache previously unseen? Well, the latter may not …

With an overwhelming sweet tooth threatening to overcome my diet’s restrictions, I made a beeline for the nearest vending machine, hoping for some kind of fruity low-guilt candy.

I have long been a fan of Dr. Oetker desserts, and when their pizza went on sale at my local grocery store I quickly bought Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Funghi. To be honest, I had to laugh at the ‘Funghi’ part of the name as this is simply a …

Nabisco has been putting out Wheat Thins in a variety of flavors lately (parmesan & basil, ranch, etc.), but I love the original Wheat Thins. They have a very distinct whole grain flavor. The box boasts that they contain 11 grams of whole grain per serving. It is also …

These Nature’s Path: Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries are as good as the cherry variety, although they suffer from the same problem that the cherry toaster pastries do: they are a little too sweet and I feel that the frosting did not have to be as sugary as it turned …

Sometimes there really is an advantage to buying at a club store or some place where they sell big packages of items. I love Oreo cookies. The cheapest I can get these now is on sale for $2.50 for an 18 ounce package. However, those $2.50 …

Tofutti Cuties’ are totally terrible! What a horrid creation this is. I have no idea what the company used in place of vanilla and chocolate, but boy oh boy do the replacements totally not work at all! The stuff looks like chocolate and looks like vanilla, but the stuff …

I am always thirsty. I drink quality drinks that give my body a boost in the health department, and I don’t spend a fortune doing it.
This week, I discovered, for the first time, the great taste of mixed berry Diet Green Tea made by the Lipton Tea Company! It …

I usually try to avoid ordering pizza; primarily because of the cost and because it isn’t really the healthiest thing my family can be eating.
However, ever since Dominos brought back their Philly Cheesesteak pizza, I’m ordering from them much more than usual.
The thing I like about the pizza is …

I used to eat Mrs. Freshley’s Buddy Bars before I discovered the SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars.

The SnackAway version features a dramatic reduction in sugar and calories with …

On my quest for low fat healthy dinners, I recently bought Lean Cuisine’s Oriental Beef Stirfry dinner for $2.99CDN.

We were in a bit of a hurry at dinner time last night because we had to eat before going to an open house at our daughter’s school. We ended up making chicken and, to go with it, stuffing from the brand Chef’s Cupboard.
I have had the Chef’s Cupboard …

If you love mixing up your spaghetti with different add-ons, consider roasted crabs. It is a good option, and quite nutritious, I must say. Crabs are a real good alternative rather than just meat, chicken and fish.

I can count on one hand the number of times that I have ever tried cassava chips, but out of those few times, I had never gotten to try “St. Mary’s Cassava Chips”. However, just recently I had gotten to try the St. Mary’s Barbeque Cassava Chips after a …

The Spumoni flavored ice cream from Edy’s brand is a flavor that looks very appealing during advertising, but does not really deliver the sort of kick that I had expected it to. The three flavors in this ice cream sounded as though they would be a delicious explosion of …
