I try to eat healthy. Whenever possible, I like to use fresh vegetables and fruits. Sometimes it’s just not convenient though, and so I rely on pre-made products. It takes a good bit of time to clean, wash, cut, and cook vegetables– then there’s all the dish washing afterward. …

I had a craving for cold cereal, unusual as that is, and set out to buy a brand that was healthy and would allow me to stay on my diet. I had heard good things about Special K so I looked at what flavors were available. There were …

She came home with PizzAmore pizzas from Freschetta; including their 10-topping pizza.
While there were some things …

Wild Cherry Pepsi is Pepsi’s equivalent to Cherry Coke. Don’t know which one of the two competing companies had come up with the idea of adding cherry flavor first, but it doesn’t matter, I love them both. Wild Cherry Pepsi offers a nice combination of cherry and cola taste. …

During hot or summer season, almost all of us do crave for something cold. And the number one food when it comes to that is the ice creams. Magnolia has its own product of ice creams and popsicles. As for me, my favorite is none other that Twin popsies. …

Trader Joe’s carries its fair share of packaged pasta. I love cheese tortellini, so when I saw this, I picked it out of the refrigerated section. Since it was only $2.00, I thought it was a good buy.
This tortellini comes in a ten-ounce package and is filled with ricotta, …

In recent years, I have had periods of unemployment when I have been so poor that I have been forced to sample the rock-bottom priced value goods available in supermarkets. Some items are not so bad actually, but these Pasta Shapes from the Sainsbury’s Basics brand, are not …

This review is for Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water that comes in the expanded 32 pack of 16.9 oz bottles. When I last purchased this, I paid just $3.49 for each package purchased.
In my opinion, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water is clean tasting. Now I’m not sure we, the …

While I am a fan of mixed vegetable drinks, my mother and sister beat me with their zeal for this particular beverage. I am more a lover of fruit drinks myself. Maybe it is the fact that I have a sweet tooth, or maybe I just don’t enjoy the …

Corn is probably my favorite vegetable, or at least one of my top two. A good corn makes me smile and gives my taste buds joy. Combine that with my favorite canned food brand, Del Monte, and that equals goodness all the way around.
Del Monte Whole Kernel …

This frozen entrée is a little more indulgent than some of the others offered by Lean Cuisine. But I have to say I love it and it’s one of the ones I always go for in the supermarket when I see it!
It consists of chicken that’s been breaded …

I have reviewed Bigelow Red Raspberry Herbal Tea here before, and I rated it 10 out of 10. However, I have recently noticed that the quality of this product has changed, so I have decided to write another review that will reflect these changes.
Bigelow Red Raspberry used to be …

I really enjoyed this when my mom made it for dinner. I am not a huge fan of soups and when my mom brought this home I didn’t know what to expect. When she began making it I didn’t think that I would like it. Boy was I wrong. …

I was a little apprehensive about drinking the Almond chocolate drink. This particular beverage comes in a little juice-box looking contraption, complete with a straw that you punch into the box. Pacific Almond drink packages look pretty weird. And they seem to be …

I am not usually much of a one for isotonic sports drinks, because in the main  I find them so sugary as to be rather too much of a good thing, but the other day I was feeling both very thirsty and rather lacking in energy, so decided to …

Before I moved to the Midwest from the West coast, I had never heard of O’Charley’s Restaurant. From the outside, it looks like an Irish pub and grill where social people gather to drink mugs of beer and eat fried food made from a small kitchen. As …

The Strawberry Kiwi flavored water by hint is something I found to be tasty, although really, I think I could have done without the kiwi. Kiwi is not something that I have ever been able to really enjoy, and I certainly prefer strawberry several times over to the flavor …

Last night, my friend and I decided to venture into Hooters. Being from Texas, the local Hooters restaurants are owned under a different company, the Texas Wings Association, and the food quality isn’t so bad. Down south, the food can at least taste better than those bar nachos you …

I don’t like food like yogurt with taste of the strawberry because they are little too sour to me, like they miss little of sugar. I had to eat this soft fruit cheese that my sister bought this evening for the dinner as I had to clean my fridge …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheese Manicotti makes for a fairly tasty meal! Admittedly, this meal is more about flavor than it is about being filling, but in the case of this food, I am okay with that because the flavor comes from cheese! Lots and lots of cheese! Cheese is …

I’m usually in a hurry in the mornings so I spend a great deal of money on pre-made frozen breakfasts.
One of those breakfasts happened to be the Ham & Cheese Omelet from Aunt Jemima. When I bought it, I figured it would turn out very dry and unappetizing but …

Winn Dixie has this brand of pickled eggs called “Southern Pickled Eggs Snack”. If you have ever tried a food that has been pickled before, then you can be able to imagine the tart taste that is associated with it. At first, I was a little skeptical about trying …

Witor’s is an Italian company that makes chocolates and very good ones I must admit.

Being a huge fan of fried chicken, I have ordered it in many different places, and I believe I can say that fried chicken served at Culver’s is very close to be the best of the best. It is always soft and juicy inside, while the outside is that …

Junk food isn’t the best of food to eat but I really can’t do without it and however hard I try I can’t keep myself away from a packet of American lays. I tried it for two days and was unbearable and finally I could take it any longer …

Jell-o Instant Pudding - Devil’s Food is not a pudding variety that I will likely purchase a second time. I simply do not care for this pudding variety when I have the chocolate variety that I can purchase and enjoy. There is nothing really wrong with this variety, but …

Good Flow Austin’s Own Good flow Honey Green Tea, by the brand Texas Tea, is a beverage I had the opportunity to try one busy afternoon. I was in the mood for something other than water and for something that wasn’t carbonated. So to say a bottle of tea …

I truly hate consuming energy drinks because of all the bad publicity they get and because I know of people who have either died or gotten very ill as a result. The only time I drink them these days is unless I truly have no choice, which means I’m …

This review focuses on the Ball Park Beef Franks - 3.5 lb Package. It’s more about the packaging concept than the franks themselves, which I’ve reviewed previously. Just quickly, I love Ball Park Beef Franks. So far, they’ve been the ones I’ve liked the best. …

We have seriously been trying, as a family, to save money at the grocery store. The main way we have managed to accomplish this is by buying generic products. This was a new step for us because we have always purchased name brand products in the past. However, we …

Since they decided to discontinue my favorite brand of cigarettes, I’ve been on a hunt to find something to replace them. Recently a woman at my local gas station recommend I try the Marlboro Smooth 100’s. She said that she started smoking them years ago before switching to Camel, …

These plain tortilla chips from Tesco are from their extremely low-priced ‘Value’ range and you can buy a generous 100g bag for a mere 25 pence. Tesco’s Value range does have some surprisingly good items in it and I think these chips are fantastic for the price. …
