Despite the low price tag on …

My family eats a lot of hamburger when finances are tight. I would not consider hamburger helper to be a gourmet meal but it is affordable. It costs around $2 for the box plus whatever you paid for the hamburger. For me this meal including meat …

I’m not the best cook in the world but I do know how to make spaghetti. And, I would never been able to perfect my recipe if I didn’t have Hunts Spaghetti Sauce as a main ingredient.
There are a couple of things I like about Hunt’s sauce. First, is …

This bread comes in a transparent wrapping, the slices are really thin and although the subtitle on the wrapping says bread with prolonged freshness I’d rather call it extra dry bread. There are 20 really dry slices in the wrapping and if you don’t have bread at home and …

I admit, I’m not a true Bostonian. I grew up in that southwestern corner of CT that was claimed by the NY-Yankees. I never liked the Red Sox.
Recently, my boyfriend snuck a bottle of “Big Papi Salsa” into our fridge. I say “snuck” because I tend to react badly …

The Laughing Cow has a variety of cheese products from France. Do not ask me to read the French version of its brand, however, because I do not know how to pronounce it.
I discovered this brand on the imported section of our local supermarket. It costs more than the …

While shopping for groceries each week, I look for products that are delicious and healthy. Foods that have flavor rather than a bland and paper taste to them. Especially when searching for lunch meats, I have a hard time trying to find meats that are affordable and healthy and …

I love guacamole, but I do not like to make it at home. I do not like to try to select a ripe avocado because I inevitably choose the wrong one. I also like to have my guacamole ready when I am in the mood for it, without …

I have started eating yogurt because of its benefits to my body. The first yogurt I ate again for the longest time was the Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt, Raspberry Apple flavor. Today, I took one from the six-pack yogurt that I bought. This time, the flavor is Yummy Strawberry.

I am not fond of eating spicy snacks because it gives me colds. However, there is always an exemption to rule and that is Jack N Jill V-Cut. V-Cut has been in the market for quite a long time. The spiciness and uniqueness of taste makes it became a …

Little gingerbread man cookies are almost as closely associated with Christmas as the candy cane is, or perhaps equally so, so it’s no wonder that this type of Christmas cookie commonly appears in holiday movies and in kitchens across the world come the Christmas season. Not everyone though enjoys …

Drinking milk helps me to be alert. Ever since, I drink sterilized milk when I do not have enough sleep and I feel tired. When I do not have the time to eat food on time, or even when I did not take my breakfast in the morning, I …

Every time I make spaghetti at home I always use the Dolmio sauce because it has all the ingredients that I needed to have in my spaghetti. One thing I like about this sauce is that it also has the nice aromatic fragrance because of the herbs and …

This “Easy Pack” mix suffers from two devastating problems that really add up to one big-time disappointing pancake mix. First of all, the mix calls for water and not milk, eggs and oil. Adding water as opposed to milk, eggs and oil ends up creating an inferior pancake. The …

Babies can be sometimes choosy when it comes to the meal you prepared for them. I know, because I once became a baby sitter for my 8 months old cousin. It was just for a day though, and I must say that my baby sitting went well. I am …

Asia Specialties is a range of ethnic food products available at UK branches of the discount supermarket Aldi. The Thai Green Curry Sauce from this range costs 89p for a 350g jar and a Red variety is also available, but in my opinion is not quite as nice as …

Layered Mocha Cake is purely yummy and very delicious. I really love the taste and a normal Mocha Cake that I usually buy would have a nice aroma of coffee smell mostly.
I have been a food tester before and I know a good food when I taste and smell …

For a spin on my favorite chocolate bar, I always enjoyed having a Nestle Crunch Bar. Made of milk chocolate and crisped rice, it was a crunchy alternative, and it was fun to eat.
I have wondered in recent years if the company has changed its ingredients, as co …

I just love ice cream. While shopping in the mall I got so tired and hungry I decided to give in to my sweet tooth. I saw the nearest Dairy Queen counter and wanted to get a hold of a Blizzard! There was a huge queue of people wanting …

Mountain House Freeze Dried Meals
I have been trying to update my emergency supply kit lately and this also includes the Mountain House freeze dried food stores. Mountain House foods have an excellent shelf life of seven years, so I can have food security for a long time. These foods …

Occasionally, I’ll be in the food for Mexican cuisine. While it’s not the kind of food I crave daily, once or sometimes even twice a week, I enjoy having a Mexican inspired meal. For that reason, when I came across the Atkins Beef Fiesta Taco Bowl in the frozen …

When I first saw the Noel Dux Original Crackers snack one day, the first thing that came to my mind was a particular snack called “Club Social” that used to be popular when I was much younger in the nineties, because the packaging looked similar. However, it was only …

These wafer thin crackers have become a staple in my home.For people who are used to Ritz or Triscuits these won’t won’t seem like anything to write home about. But, I have tried water crackers before and liked them so I decided I might like this brand as well.
These …

I am a tea lover. I am not so much of a cool drinks person and no matter how hot the weather is, my choice of drink is always a cup of hot tea. I believe that tea is a cooling beverage that cools down the body …

These days I like to have a good —˜proper’ butter in the house, not just one of those —˜like butter but it’s not actually butter’ spreads. A good butter really makes a difference to sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cooking generally and I have come to appreciate that. …

I’m nursing a seasonal cold, so I went to the store to find that orange juice, normally a little higher than other juices, was jacked up suspiciously higher than normal. Instead of selling in to the cold-time mania, I opted to try some Tropicana fruit punch instead. Two quarts …

I sometimes forget to eat at lunchtime but never do I skip my breakfast. For some this is odd but for me this is actually just fine. I can’t be as enthusiastic as I should be to do my daily activities without eating my breakfast. One hot noodles, bread …

For me, a Korean dish will never be completed without gochujang or fermented red pepper paste. We all know that a lot of Korean loves to eat spicy foods.. and that’s what I really love about them. I thought that I can have some gochujang only at Korean restaurants …

Wendy’s, the well-known fast food chain, is making their prices and food items competitive with other fast food chain restaraunts. Recently they have introduced three meals to their menu for under $3.00. This review will be on the chicken sandwhich combo meal for $2.99.

I’ve always been a curious soul, who loves trying all things new. Actually, trying new things is one of my biggest passions, whether that’s new activities, new places, new makeup or new foods. New foods and new food concepts are my ultimate weakness. I’m not a vegan, but I get …

Frito Lay makes some of the most bland chips ever, I rarely ever buy these even though potato chips are my weakness. I can not resist the yummy salty crunch of potato chips. I had pretty much given up on Frito Lay potato chips, with the exception of …

I’m not sure how new McDonalds’ Southern Style chicken is but I tried it for the first time a week ago and was very disappointed. It’s a breakfast sandwich that has a piece of chicken strip in between a flaky biscuit. For something that’s suppose to be southern, where’s …

I didn’t care very much for the honey buttered Pringles Stix. First of all, they weren’t too generous with the honey because there wasn’t much honey flavor. There was enough to make the snack slightly sweet, but it wasn’t a rich flavor that led me to crave more. I …

This hot chocolate is definently one of my favorites out there to get for a warm winter treat, it is actually a little bit better then Starbuck’s hot chocolate in my opinion. They offer you either kind of milk- Skim or regular and I have tasted it with either …

My family loves Pillsbury Crescents. They are a staple in our household and always in our fridge. We have tried the store brands and several other types of rolls with dinner but nothing is the same. They are always convenient and super easy to prepare. …
