Butter is a good alternative for cooking oil. And for snack, I can quickly prepare a sandwich by spreading butter such as Dari Creme on bread. Dari Creme has been one of my choices for so long, as a partner for unflavored bread. The old Dari Creme still exists …

My wife recently bought a box of pecan rolls from the brand Great Value for $1. We weren’t really expecting too much from this product; mostly because of the price and because we don’t really trust our Walmart when it comes to food items, but, I have to admit, …

Blue Bunny Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae Crunch Bar is a decent frozen treat that could have been better, but is unfortunately held back by a few problems, in my opinion. First of all, the vanilla ice cream used in this treat is not all that rich or noticeable. It …

Creamed tomato soup is my absolute favourite type of soup. Tomato tastes too tart for me without the cream, but with the cream to smooth out that lovely flavour, I just love it. I tried out this one from Morrisons own brand and the fact that it …

Now we know about the Maggie noodles but now I am going to talk about the Maggie atta noodles. The Maggie atta noodle is made of using the wheat flour. And the wheat flour is very good for the health as it has a lot of fibre …

I really like this mix. It’s a powder you can buy at the grocery store with all the other hot chocolate mixes, but it’s white chocolate instead. Yum.
It is a little bit too sweet sometimes, and that can give me a bit of a headache, but if you use …

While out, someone suggested that I try a new pre-mixed bottled alcoholic drink made by Bacardi. I was a little apprehensive at first because some of these drinks don’t really taste very potent. Or they are so full of sugars that you can’t really taste …

The Grille Stop has been around for as long as I can remember and my absolute favourite food item on their menu is their Spicy Chicken. I usually go there solely to buy a piece of Spicy Chicken with a side of some sort.
The Grille Stop’s Spicy Chicken looks …

By the coffee’s name IBARAKU, you can directly associate it with Japan. But based on one of the Philippine’s local dialect, “BARAKU” means something grand or fully grown, which can be associated with something strong and active. But then, this coffee is not that strong by its name …

This is a fantastic deodorizing soap as long as you are not scent sensitive. These 90g boxed soap’s usually come in a pack of three and retail for about $2.49CDN.
Irish Spring soap is good value for money, I’ve noticed they do lather up nicely in the shower but they …

Jack-n-the-box fries are pretty disappointing because I expected them to taste a lot better. Jack-n-the-box has a lot of really great offerings, which is why I stop by the fast food place whenever I get the chance, which isn’t that often. I love a lot of their different foods, …

What I like mostly about Ritz Bits …

I recently found Hershey’s sticks in the candy isle at the grocery style. I was looking for something with not too many carbohydrates that I could incorporate into my day without doing too much damage. I know I shouldn’t eat any sweet snacks, but every now and then I …

I bought this bottle of honey the other month when I came down with a sore throat. And if you ever had a raw sore throat you know exactly how much it can hurt. I felt pain with every swallow and it kept me awake all night, too. I …

Reduced fat creamy Jif peanut butter is my favorite peanut butter. I cannot even imagine buying some other brand, regardless of cost. I have been a lifelong Jif peanut fan and at thirty years old, I do not see changing any time soon.
Reduced fat creamy Jif peanut …

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 …

As of recently, my family has bought only “Freeflo Fluoridated and Iodized Salt” not just because it is cheap and is manufactured locally, but we have also bought it because we think that it is a little better than some of the other cheaper brands of salt.
There are …

While making a special trip to Whole Foods one day I found a new, to me at least, vegan frozen food meal product. It is an Indian meal made by Sukhi’s, called Vegan Chili chicken.
Sukhi’s Vegan Chili Chicken has chewy meaty soy nuggets in a spicy Indian chili sauce …

Van’s Wheat Gluten Free Waffles
When I started eating gluten free foods, I got used to nothing tasting the same. Everything I ate was almost unrecognizable, nothing tasted quite right and I actually found it quite depressing as I have always enjoyed my food. That is why I was so …

Combos are a bite sized snack food that come in a variety of flavors that send consumers taste buds on a frenzy! The Cheeseburger flavored Combos are no exception to this delicious snacking rule. Not only do they have the element of crunchy goodness that all Combo (or snacks …

Not long ago the Mother’s brand was in danger of disappearing from the scene. After being in business since 1914, the California bakery and cookie distributor couldn’t outlast this difficult economy and recession. They folded up. Fortunately, the brand was salvaged and is now owned by …

I discovered a new product on my favorite grocery store shelf that deserves to be patronized. It is Minute Maid Pulpy Orange by Coca Cola Philippines, Inc. I love it and more importantly, my four year old loves it. It also fits right into my budget at less than …

I was never a fan of premixed coffee that usually comes in 3 in 1 forms. It is a combination of non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant coffee powder. They are either too sweet or too watery for my taste. I want to taste the coffee not …

Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …

The Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop is really not that terrific, in my opinion. The reason I am not won over with these bomb pops is because of the flavor. There are supposed to be a multitude of flavors to be found on these bomb pops, but what …

Tasty is the word that I’d use to describe these frozen sticks! Every stick is filled with mozzarella cheese and boy does that mozzarella cheese taste really good when it’s real warm and gooey! We let these sticks cool for only a few minutes after coming out of the …

It is really very nice to purchase a product that is advertised on television and in other forms as being something, in this case a pizza that is as good as delivery from a pizza restaurant, and find out that the company’s claims are in fact reasonable and accurate. …

The Dolmio Extra Spicy Bolognese sauce is my sauce of choice, with more flavor than the standard Dolmio Bolognese sauce due to the additional ingredients which include green peppercorns and chilli peppers. I always prefer a slightly spicier taste but this is by no means a hot sauce …

Quaker is that brand that I have come to trust for my oat needs. It’s a brand I grew up with as a child, and one I use as a adult. I began using quaker oats, and gradually moved up to the granola bars and now I discovered their …

“R R R Ruffles Have Ridges!”
That’s been the long-time tagline for Ruffles Potato Chips, and it’s pretty appropriate for this product, which is definitely characterized by thick ridges that make it unique from other potato chips on the market; that is, until some of them also began making chips …

I love cereal and I always start the day with a bowl of it in cold milk. A lot of cereals have either been bland or too sweet. Last weekend, I bought Nestle Fitnesse & Fruit cereal and I tell you this cereal was not bland nor was it …

I’m a Dorito fan. I always have been from way back in the day when all you had was the original red bag of Doritos. I moved onto the Cool Ranch in the 80’s and have loved them all since. I even purchase a small red …
