I remember the commercials so well. A young boy and his father entering a candy store, and the boy being rewarded with one of Werther’s Originals. It was portrayed as something very special, almost a rite of passage and a bond between parent and child. Yet, …

In my search for healthy snack food I stumbled upon a new crisp (potato chip) snack called Real D’lites. These are made out of cassava rather than potatoes. Now I’ve tried many healthier alternative snacks before, usually the result is disappointing. However, Real D’lites vine ripened …

One …

Cinnamon and raisin lovers will love this cereal! The flavor is rich and delightful no matter how long the cereal has been sitting in a bowl of milk. The milk does not subdue the flavor or wash it away at all, and in fact, the cereal manages to stay …

Sugar Puffs have been around for as long as I can remember and they are a very familiar brand of breakfast cereal, always one of my favorites. These are no longer produced by Quaker but by Honey Monster Foods, but I got Sugar Puffs at the moment and …

For supper tonight I decided to try the new KFC Double Down Sandwich. It was surprisingly pretty good! I’m not a big bread eater , so I didn’t miss that part of it at all.
The double down is a very unique sandwich. It is 2 crispy boneless chicken filets …

This might be a funny item to review, but you know what, I just had to try it after seeing my wife eat it with her morning coffee over and over again. I had to try it and form my own opinion. I had to see how it is …

We bought a bottle of Old Glory Red Table Wine at our local Fox Valley Winery. The standard, 750 ml bottle was priced a little over $13. We had tasted the wine before, so we knew what to expect when we opened the bottle at home for a nice …

I first bought this brand of banana chips thinking that it was actually the brand “Nices.” Thinking about it now,the company who makes “Extra Nice Banana Chips” has a pretty good marketing strategy since their packaging and name is very very similar to “Nices Banana Chips.” However, it is …

Metromint - Peppermint Water is more or less about as good as hint peppermint water, and if I had to choose the better tasting flavored water, I do not think that I could. Much like the hint flavored water line, this water is also pretty pure and healthy. The …

I thought I was making the healthy choice when I purchased this pasta from my local health food store. I guess long term this pasta may be a little heathier for me than my traditional bowtie pasta purchase, but it is also disguisting.
Theres something just a little off about …

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 …

Ghosts Marshmallow Peeps are, unfortunately, no better than the pumpkin-themed Peeps. I just do not feel that these marshmallow treats are in possession of a rich and real marshmallow flavor that I was hoping for. Yes, they are sweet, but marshmallow is not the same thing as sugar. There …

Del Monte French Style Green Beans from a can are perfect for a quick meal, and they are really tasty. You know how much trouble green beans are to prepare fresh. I mean, you have to wash and cut them and season them properly. It is …

This is true gourmet popping corn. 1lb 14 oz for 4.99. First, why buy the expensive micro wave popcorn if you can make this wonderful popping corn in just a few minutes. I have found all the kernels pop when I use a stainless steel pot and lid. I …

KFC is my all time favorite, when it comes to fast foods. Well, I think they are better than others because somehow they have some healthy treats on their menu. Not just deep fried munchies. So, if you and you’re friends are saving money but you want to eat …

Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri is part of a failed line - in my opinion - of gelatin desserts that try to take a popular adult beverage and transform that beverage into a gelatin treat that retains the flavor of the drink while making it acceptable for all ages. …

Ever since I was young, I am a regular eater of biscuits. To love a biscuit is part of being a child. I mostly bring along Sky Flakes on my bag. It is only for emergency purpose, just in case I get hungry on my way home and going …

I love both peanut butter and who can resist an Oreo cookie?
I …

Frying potatoes is kind of bothersome, as you have to use so much oil, it will jump in all directions, and someone has to clean that mess. That’s why when I found this fried potatoes for the microwave I had to try them.
As any microwave oriented food, it didn’t …

Typically, if I’m looking for a quick lunch, I can’t go wrong with Chunky Soup. But, after trying their Vegetable Beef Stew, I have to say I don’t intend on buying that variety again.
Flavor wise, it was OK. It was a bit too salty for my tastes but it …

I am flat out addicted to these things! However they are something you really only must eat in moderation. Also, I don’t really recommend them to people who are trying to stay on a low carb diet or watch their weight… because these things are carb city!

I am a frequent customer at my local Panera. They know me by name and practically have my order going as I enter the door because they can read my mind on what I want. Because I go there so frequently and hand over a sizeable portion …

Sometimes I worry about …

My flatmate brought home a big box of small Swiss chocolate Lindt. We are both bif fans of Lindt chocolate so we immediately started tasting them out. I rarely buy Lindt chocolates because they are very expensive. The fact is that Lindt chocolates are really incredibly good so the …

I used not to like Mee Siam. In case you are wondering what this is, it is actually a gravy type of noodles, but the very thin strips one. Not the thick noodles like your spaghetti, though.
The gravy has to be spicy for me and in …

Stouffer’s Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta is something that I have been wanting to try for a couple of weeks now, although once I finally did make time to sit down and have it, I was greeted with disappointment. This meal is mess, really. The chicken is fine - I …
