Shiriff Instant Coffee
I am not what some people would call a hardcore or even a regular coffee drinker, but I believe that I am still able to distinguish between a bad cup or brand of coffee and a good one. When the “Shiriff Instant Coffee” was bought by one of the …
HELLO! chocolate
I always rely on chocolates whenever I feel down and sad. I have tried all the cheap chocolates that I can find. Some were really good were others really proved why they are cheap. One of the many chocolates I liked was HELLO!

HOT POTATOES: SPICY BLOODY MARY CHIPS
Spicy Bloody Mary Chips were released by the same company that makes Beer Chips. They’re working on creating different types of chips that incorporate the taste of alcoholic drinks, but without including any alcohol in the mixture. Their beer chips were pretty good, but I didn’t really like the …
Morton Kosher Salt
I have been cooking practically my whole life with regular table salt. I’ve actually just recently started cooking again. I come across recipes all the time that call for kosher salt to be used and I always ignore this and continue with my regular salt.
Finally I caved. I …

M.Y. San SkyFlakes Crackers

Entenmann’s Frosted Pop’ems
Entenmann’s Frosted Pop’ems are essentially small and compacted donuts that lack an opening in the center. Only one or two bites are required before these pop’ems are no more. They are quite small and ideal for snacking. Well, they would be ideal if the frosted pop’ems had a better …
HEALTH:LET US TALK ABOUT COKE
I like to drink diet Pepsi sometimes, but, I am revising my thinking on just how safe THAT is.
Did you realize that in order for the big trucks to carry concentrated coke, they must do it in a hazzardous materials truck, signed as such? O.K. so, maybe you think …
Mr. Pudding - Vanilla
I’ve only seen Mr. Pudding pudding products at ALDI, and I think I know why: they just aren’t that good. I wasn’t impressed with the vanilla pudding, and the same can be said for the chocolate pudding, too. Four cups come in a pack and each cup is three …
Chewy Tubes
A friend of mine was visiting one summer when my daughter was about 2 and her daughter was chewing on a chewy tube. Of course I was like what is that because they look like little hammers or something! She went out to her car and got me a …

Stouffer’s Dinner’s Chicken and Fettuccini is a frozen dinner that comes with fettuccini pasta, chicken and some assorted vegetables, all for two dollars and forty-nine cents.

Herrlunga GloGG
Herrlunga GlOGG is sold by Ikea. For those of you who don’t know Glogg or Grogg is a traditional Swedish beverage. It is a spicy drink. I think the Grogg is the alcohol drink and the GLOGG is the base mixture. It is delicious.
I bought this GLOGG at IKEA …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Toasted Almond Fudge
This is not one of my favorite ice cream varieties. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Toasted Almond Fudge is an ice cream variety that has quite a strong almond flavor mixed in with the creamy chocolate ice cream. I personally prefer the almonds that are mixed with the pistachio …

Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix
My sister knows I love to bake, the very reason why she sent me a few packets of Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix. Of course, it was one of those mixes (again) for the lazy - the instant ones. The instructions show that I only need 1/3 cup of …

Maltesers, lovely balls of chocolate and almost perfectly made for women and children. Very similar to Kitkat in away, only this time you do not have sticks of biscuit covered in chocolate, you have have a lighter biscuit that is in the shape of a ball. As much as …
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper

This 220 gram box contains elbow macaroni and a dry …

Jaffa choco-crispy cream yogurt

M&M’’s minis milk chocolate

De Cecco spaghetti pasta
I’ve bought my first de cecco spaghetti pasta for my son’s birthday party and since it was quite an expensive sort of pasta I thought that maybe I should better give it a try on a special occasion. I followed all the cooking instructions on how to make …

Coca Cola Zero
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 …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Chicken & Pasta Parmesan
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Chicken & Pasta Parmesan is a meal that I like. It is not the tastiest meal that I have ever purchased from the frozen food section of the grocery store, but I do enjoy having it. What I like about this meal is the chicken …
Del Monte Red Cane Vinegar
I used to be just contented with whatever brand of vinegar I used. But when an exposé about how synthetic vinegar harms out health came out I became very investigative. I practically read all the descriptions of all the vinegar brands in the market and it is only …
Klosterbrot Monastery Rye Bread by Dimpilmeier
I love gourmet breads, especially with cheese. I have tried many different kinds of Rye bread over the years, and have usually not liked them. Either the Rye bread had too strong a taste, or fell apart when I tried to use it. Then I bought Klosterbrot Monastery Rye …
President’s Choice Extra Rich Hot Chocolate Mix
I’ve long been a firm believer that in most cases, food items do not vary much from brand to brand and therefore, the variables I employ are usually price, flavour, fat content or size. Manufacturers usually use much the same ingredients, so the taste of the product varies little. …
Great Value: French Vanilla Instant Pudding
Great Value: French Vanilla Instant Pudding is just as good as the name brand Jell-o or other pudding products that I have tried. Plus, it is cheaper, too! Cheaper is usually a good thing, and in the case of this pudding, it is. The pudding is also simple to …

Post Cocoa Pebbles
Post Cocoa Pebbles, like Post Fruit Pebbles, has artwork of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble on the box. I recall getting more enjoyment out of watching reruns of The Flinstones than eating this cereal. While I definitely wouldn’t call this cereal horrible, it never really was one that I …
Oishi Ridges
I just love eating Oishi Ridges. My whole family especially the kids love buying this product. Oishi Ridges has lots of different flavors but our favorites are cheese, cheese and garlic and plain salted. I am not a huge fan of the barbecue flavor though. I like the way …
Cooper’s Toasted Beef Ravioli
Tasteless is the word that I think best describes Cooper’s Toasted Beef Ravioli. The raviolis are quite generously packed with beef, but the problem is not with the quantity, but the quality. The quality of the beef isn’t all that hot. The beef is pretty much devoid of flavor …

Pancit Batil Patong Noodle Dish
I have had the pleasure of tasting a delicacy in the city of Tuguegarao, Cagayan Valley in the Philippines. This food is called Pansit Batil Patong. Believe me; I have had some difficulty remembering the name too. I was not so crazy about it when my friend told me …
Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This ice cream by Ben and Jerry’s sounded delectable. Normally I find regular cheesecake very rich, and I figured it would be even more so as an ice cream. Still, I wanted to try it. I love the way Ben and Jerry’s makes their ice cream, and I really …
Berkley and Jensen Clover Honey
I love and use honey so much I go through about forty eight ounces per month. The reason why is because I use honey as a facial cleanser, as a sweetener and to wash and condition my hair. My absolute favorite honey to use is the Berkley and Jensen …
McDonald’s McGriddle (Sausage, Egg & Cheese)
The McDonald’s McGriddle is, quite simply, incredibly delicious. It is perhaps one of the most tasty and satisfying things that I can have for breakfast. Of course, I cannot have it as often as I would really, really like to because the calorie count of just one McGriddle is …
