Knorr Pasta Sides Cheddar Broccoli
Unlike with the Pasta Side that combines the mild Parmesan and Romano Alfredo sauce with the also mild flavor of broccoli, the cheddar and broccoli Pasta Side mix doesn’t go nearly as well together. To me, the cheddar flavored sauce is just too strong and does not go well …

Snickers Dark Chocolate
Dark Chocolate is my favorite snack. Everytime I see a new brand of dark chocolate, I immediately buy 1 bar to try it. Trying each new brand of dark chocolate is always an adventure for me. I’m always on the lookout for great tasting dark chocolate …
Digiorno 12″ Rising Crust Spinach and Mushroom
This was a disappointing pizza put out by Digiorno. The spinach topping hardly contributed any flavor to this pizza. Perhaps if more spinach had been used, this pizza would have actually had a real spinach flavor to it rather than a fleeting spinach flavor that did very little for …
Hamburger Helper Cheesy Ranch Burger flavor
The Cheesy Ranch Burger flavor of Hamburger Helper is one of my favorites. It combines ground beef with a creamy, cheesy pasta that has just a bit of a tang or “zip” to it. I don’t know that, if I were blindfolded …
Maxwell House Half-Caff Coffee
My boyfriend and I are usually faithful Nescafe drinkers. However, we ran out of coffee and a friend was nice enough to give us a brand new jar of Maxwell House Half-Caff. I wasn’t too keen on the whole Half-Caff idea at first, but after thinking about how much …
Bella Italia Extra Virgin Olive Oil
My mother was initially supposed to use the “Bella Italia Extra Virgin Olive Oil” as part of some organic cleanse she was going to do that was recommended to her by her nutritionist, but instead we ended up using it in our cooking several times when we had run …
Happy Harvest Kidney Beans
A few days ago, I decided to make chili. One of the ingredients I needed was kidney beans so I used a couple cans from the brand Happy Harvest.
I have purchased other items from this brand in the past and, with few exceptions, I have been very happy with …
Tesco Ciabatta Roll
I found this fresh Ciabatta roll in Tesco’s in-store bakery section and it was only 30 pence. I have tried other brands of Ciabatta and this relatively cheap one from Tesco was fresh and tasty and as good as any of them. You can often find the …
Peanut Butter&Co White Chocolate Wonderful
Lately I’ve been on a hunt for a perfect, smooth peanut butter for my toasts and snacks. Jif Peanut Butter is probably one of my favourites because of its relatively clean ingridients list and the low price. But even when I’m in love with a certain food, I don’t stop …
Nestle Fitnesse Honey & Almond Cereal
For quite some time now, I could not eat breakfast without any egg on my plate. After reading too many cases of increased cholesterol, I ventured eating foods without egg on it. I experimented with cereal and I first tried Nestle Fitnesse Honey & Almond. I just poured …
Snickers Ice Cream Bar
Inside the brittle chocolate coating is a mouth-watering, sweet, softy and creamy ice cream with caramel toppings. Wow! This is really what I can call a perfect chocolate treat and what I am talking about is the Snickers Ice Cream Bar.
I am not fan of consuming imported goods but …
Tang Mango Powdered Juice Drink
Mango is one of the most delicious fruits for me and the most refreshing juice to drink. It makes my lunchtime complete and enjoyable. A glass of mango juice with ice cubes, it is already satisfying to imagine. My quest to look for the perfect mango juice drink was …
Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh - Turkey
Since I’ve had some good luck with other new Oscar Mayer products, when I saw their new Deli Fresh, I decided to give it a try, too. I’m a turkey lover, so selected the oven roasted turkey breast (shaved).
It comes in a rectangular plastic container that is touted …
V8 Splash Melange Tropical Blend Beverage 1.89 L/64 FL OZ
I bought the V8 Splash Melange Tropical Blend beverage from London Drugs on May 12, 2010 for Canadian $3.50 or $7.00 for two. It was on sale and I thought it was a terrific idea to get this manager’s special. I thought I made the right decision.
This …
Jennie-O Ground Turkey
When shopping at Super WalMart they had some Jennie-O Ground Turkey for sale, less than $2 a pound. We decided to give it a try, since we’ve heard turkey is better for you than beef, and ground beef here can be $4 or more a pound (unless on …
Arby’s Curly Fries
Arby’s Curly Fries are something I’ve had several times now. I should say that I love good French fries. I tend to like mine tender and well seasoned, so in actuality these curly fries are a little different.
Over time as I’ve eaten Arby’s Curly Fries, they’ve been …
Rice Krispies Treats
As a youngster, I loved making Rick Krispies treats. It was always a gooey, sticky affair, mixing in Rice Krispies cereal with a bunch of melted marshmallows, but boy howdy, it made for a delicious treat.
Nowadays, Kelloggs brings us already made Rice Krispy treats. Along with the …
Pound Cake
I recently just bought a pound cake at the grocery store for a dollar. It was kind of small but still worth it just for a dollar. That’s cheap compared to a lot of foods now a days. I really liked this cake. I thought I wouldn’t because it …
Sainsbury’s Pure Apple Juice

Island 62 Flavoured June Plum Water
I knew that these past couple of weeks had been frightfully not even though it’s not even summer as yet. However, I don’t think I ever really felt how hot it was until last week when I had some business to do on the road. I was so burnt …
Dannon Activia Strawberry Cereal Yogurt
Now, I have said some distasteful things about Dannon Activia’a Strawberry flavored yogurt. And I still stand by what I said about the Strawberry flavored yogurt not being something that I would recommend. However, I would definitely recommend that if you have not tried Dannon Activia’s Strawberry and Cereal …
Choc o’lait
My favourite drinking chocolate is Choc o’lait and it is to die for. It has a rich chocolate flavour that you would swear goes straight to your hips and thighs but is actually 99%fat free. In fact there are just 42 calories or 175 kilojules in a cup …
Snyder Of Berlin Plain Puff’N Corn (Hulless)
I just love these. I remember my Grandmother serving them to us kids because she was afraid we would choke on regular popcorn. We loved it then too. This delicious salty and buttery snack is the alternative for getting popcorn kernels and their skins stuck in your teeth, tastes …
Talenti Gelato Sicilian Pistachio
Talenti is my favorite brand of gelato or ice cream, and despite the high price, I typically seek it out at the grocery store above all other ice creams. The Sicilian Pistachio flavor is my favorite for any time of the year because its sweet and nutty with a …

Taco Bell Chicken Soft Taco (Canada)
The Taco Bell chicken soft taco (Canadian version) makes for a nice lunch.

The avacado ranch dressing is really the star …

Mac n Cheese
I have a confession to make. When the chill of winter sets in, on many a Friday night all I want to do is plant myself in front of my non-existent fireplace with a heaping pot of the gluey orange stuff. No date or dinner out with friends can …

Starbucks Mocha Frappachino
I have been addicted to Starbuck’s Mocha Frappachinos for quite some time, and I am pretty sure that they add something into their coffee drinks to make them so addicting that you come back for more. I also have to say that I think it is quite an …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Frosted Brownies
These Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Frosted Brownies are pretty much identical to the Cosmic Brownies, also manufactured by Little Debbie.
