Morning Star Farms Meal Starters Chik’N Strips
Morning Star Farms Meal Starters Chik’N Strips are fabulous! Yes, I know it’s not real chicken but you won’t even be able to tell, honest. At first, I thought a chicken substitute couldn’t possibly be any good but I have changed my mind.
I buy an eight ounce …
Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Promises
I bought a box of Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Promises on sale, paying $2.50 for it. There was also a milk chocolate version available, but I prefer dark, so I grabbed this one. The 6.21 oz chocolate-colored box is of irregular shape, I even thought at first that …
Baby Ruth Candy Bar
One chocolate brand which I think is older than I am is Baby Ruth. I grew up seeing my Mom biting this candy bar oftentimes and from her did I learn to like Baby Ruth too. When I see my mother unwrapping a bar, I’d run to her …
Family Gourmet Premium Butter Popcorn
I’m very conservative with my grocery store budget. I don’t deprive myself of anything, including snacks, but nine times out of ten I purchase store brands and generic brands instead of name brands. It sickens me to pay a couple of dollars more for an item that’s …
Monster Energy Drink
Monster Energy is the one drink that gives you a rush of adrenaline and taste. The Drink is formulated for energy, using sugar and caffeine. It may not be the best drink for you, but it certainly works. Monster also delivers a taste to match the quality of this …
Stouffer’s Lasagna with Tomato Sauce & Italian Sausage
I thought that I would enjoy Stouffer’s Lasagna with Tomato Sauce & Italian Sausage because first of all, I like Italian sausage, and second of all, I really enjoy lasagna products from Stouffer’s. Somehow though, my liking of both these things resulted in me not liking this lasagna. Perhaps …
Spaghetti with Roasted Crabs
If you love mixing up your spaghetti with different add-ons, consider roasted crabs. It is a good option, and quite nutritious, I must say. Crabs are a real good alternative rather than just meat, chicken and fish.
If you go anywhere like in restaurants and stuff, it’s …
Appetitos Franks in a Blanket
There are a variety of recipes out there that outline how to prepare pigs in a blanket or mini crescent dogs, and that’s great if one has the time to go ahead and do that. As a majority of people out there have likely found out time and time …
Turkey Hill Iced Peach Tea
I picked up a half gallon of Turkey Hill iced peach on sale, for only ninety-nine cents. Usually it’s a dollar ninety-nine, at Kroger but they dropped it down. Normally when I buy already made teas, I go for Arizona green tea, Snapple or Lipton, or just simply make …
Orange Crush Soda
I just love and adore Orange Crush Soda to no end. I grew up drinking it, and it remains a favorite. Unfortunately, the product has done this ‘come and go’ type of thing. It shows up at my grocery store, and then it disappears to the …
Ritz Crackers
Ritz Crackers are just about the only crackers I can think of which are tasty enough to eat on their own. They are small, only two inches in diameter, so I sometimes just pop one or two in my mouth for a quick snack. They are crisp …
Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Racing Chocolate Cupcakes
Like with other treats made by Mrs. Freshley’s with a special seasonal name, pay no attention to the name because there is nothing special about the treats. For example, Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Racing Chocolate Cupcakes are nothing but chocolate covered and creme filled cupcakes that look and taste a …
Lipton Green Tea
I gained almost 20 pounds since I started working as a full time call center agent. This is because I lack exercise with the habit of sleeping in daytime after a full lunch meal. And even today that I stopped working and just chose to stay in my business, …
Branston Baked Beans
I never heard about this brand of baked beans until one of my father’s friends brought it from abroad and gave it to us along with a few other items. Up until now, I’m not even sure which country it originated from, but I was quite eager to try …
Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo
I’m no model thin girl, I love to eat. One of my favorite breakfast foods is chorizo. However in an effort to be more conscious of my health I sought to find an alternative to the traditional not so calorie friendly chorizo. Then I …
Cracker Jacks
Cracker Jacks were a very integral part of my childhood. Well integral to my junk food development anyway. Living in a small village and having to rely on a convenience store instead of a grocery, supermarkert, junk food was the primary treat of my early years. There wasn’t a …
Smucker’s Goober Grape Spread
Smucker’s Goober Grape comes in an eighteen ounce jar that costs five dollars. This product combines grape jelly with peanut butter, eliminating the need to purchase a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly in order to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It would eliminate …
Papa Murphy’s Cowboy Pizza
My wife was running errands yesterday and, since we didn’t have any plans for dinner, stopped by our local Papa Murphy’s for a take and bake pizza. Because they were on sale, she picked up a family sized Cowboy Pizza rather than our usual (Papa’s favorite).
While the Pizza was …
Stouffer’s Rigatoni with Roasted White Meat Chicken
Stouffer’s Rigatoni with Roasted White Meat Chicken is a meal that I definitely enjoy time after time. The combination of pasta and chicken is one that I find satisfying and good. The roasted chicken offers quite a bit of flavor and on top of the chicken as well as …
Marks & Spencer Cheese & Onion Pie

Nutella Hazlenut Spread
I seem to remember that Nutella Hazlenut spread was launched onto the UK market when I was a kid in the 70s but when it came out, I looked at it as the Holy Grail of spreads for children. I hope I am not pregnant or anything …
Starbucks Via Ready Brew Instant Coffee
Every morning for the last 10 years I have gotten up and made a standard brewed pot of starbucks coffee. I drink several cups of this in the morning and by afternoon the coffee is stale and gross. Every afternoon I have to decide if …
V8 V-Fusion Drinks
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 …
Cascadian Farm Organic Granola Bars
My husband and I decided to try a low salt, low fat diet so I could lose my baby weight, as well as lower my blood pressure, which was high from my pregnancy. I always find myself in need of a mid afternoon snack, so my blood sugar doesn’t …
Ajinomoto Seasoning
Ajinomoto seasoning should not have been invented in the first place! This product is purely monosodium glutamate (MSG) which is proven to do more harm than good to your body. I will never feed my family food that I cook that contains MSG. People from the health department should …
Fibre 1 Whole Grain Cereal
I just bought this wonderful cereal. I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so I need a high fibre cereal. This Fibre 1 Honey Clusters cereal is made by General Mills. It is a whole grain cereal and contains 44 percent of my daily fibre requirements.

Sunbelt Fruit & Grain Bars
I don’t get a lot of time to eat breakfast in the mornings. Well, actually, I get time, but I would rather spend it checking my e-mail and doing a few other things online. For this reason, breakfast bars are important to me.
Sunbelt’s Fruit & Grain bars are a …
Classico Vodka Sauce
I love all things food, so this is no exception. In discovering this amazing sauce, I found my absolute favorite food. I had heard of vodka sauce in the past, but had never tried it. Then I went grocery shopping (at Kroger) and found a 26 oz. jar of …
FirstNice musli bar, cranberry and raspberry in yogurt
OK, I admit I am a big sucker when it is about raspberry, I just adore them and I automatically think that everything with raspberry will be good too. I don’t have to tell you that I am wrong very often because mostly products on the base of raspberry …
Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf
For Christmas this year, we went an easier, more simplified route, prompted actually by trying to buy turkey a little too late in the week. Live and learn! Anyway, we ended up purchasing the ‘Homestyle Meatloaf’, a pre-packaged product under the ‘Fresh Deli’ label of Raley’s. The …
Kraft Miracle Whip Sandwich Spread
Who doesn’t like mayonnaise? I’ve grown to like mayonnaise because of its versatility. But having a plain mayonnaise, at some point, brings about dullness. There’s one I’ve discovered, which is more than your ordinary mayonnaise—” Kraft Miracle Whip Sandwich Spread. What makes it different from a typical one, Kraft …

Jimmy Dean Breakfast Entrees - Ham and Cheese Croissant
Previously, I’ve reviewed other varieties of the new Jimmy Dean Breakfast Entrees, and today I’m adding a new one to the list — the Ham and Cheese Croissant. When Jimmy Dean gets a product right, it’s usually dead on right and so yummy. When they get it …
Great Value Tomato Juice
Great Value Tomato Juice is a good and inexpensive product. It is not made from concentrate and contains 100% juice, high on Vitamin C. The taste is no different from brand names, nice and rich taste of tomato. The juice comes in a 46 fl. oz. metal can that …
Smuckers Hot Fudge
I have recently developed a love for chocolate covered strawberries. I used to melt chocolate over the strawberries and allow it to harden but I just stared using smuckers hot fudge and have been very pleased with the results. Smuckers hot fudge is very inexpensive and tastes great on …
Nescafe Coffee
I am a big coffee drinker and I find coffee to be quite a great substitute for alcohol, or the equivalent of alcohol for me, as I do not consume alcohol at all.
One thing I can confidently say though, is that coffee is addictive and I am living evidence …
Trader Joe’s Chicken Chili with Beans
This item is a somewhat unique take on chili, substituting chicken for the ground beef. I have always liked chicken chili, so when I saw it in the store I picked it up.
I was expecting this chili to be a little different than it was. I was thinking the …
Al mawakeb nuts Chakly
I have first tasted Al mawakeb nuts–Mixture. I really impressed with that mixture as it is fresh and spicy. That is why this time I have purchased Chakly from the same company Al mawakeb nuts. I liked their taste also. Chakly are coil shaped spicy snacks with crispy and …

Food Club American Cheese Singles
My daughter just woke up from her nap and, since she hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast (it’s now 2 in the afternoon), I went looking for something for her to eat.
She wasn’t really eating her lunch (she ate part of it but the cat kept distracting her), I decided …
Nabisco’s Double Stuf Oreos
I am a person that loves those cookies made by Nabisco which goes by the name of Oreos. Since the invention of the original Oreo cookie there have been so many variations on this cookie it is amazing. One of the variations are called Double Stuf Oreos and they …
2007 St. Clements Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley
I’m not much of a white wine drinker because it’s often too sweet for me, so I asked the wine shop owner to recommend me a good, not-to-sweet white wine. He recommended this one, and I’m definitely a fan.
Although it doesn’t have the delicate notes of citrus or …
Cooley Family Farm
My fiance and I enrolled for this growing season in the Cooley Family Farm’s Harvest Basket program. This program costs $18 a week for the 13 week season, paid upfront at the beginning of the season, and entitles you to a basket full of seasonal vegetables every week.
The …
Mrs. Freshley’s Peach Pie
I did not care for Mrs. Freshley’s Peach Pie all that much. The reason that I did not care for it is because the peach flavor was not what I was expecting. Although I am really not all that crazy about peaches, I do enjoy having them once and …
French Baker : Cream Puffs
French Baker’s Cream Puff used to be the best of its kind when I was studying about 6 years ago. I buy the cream puffs all the time but I do not remember how much was it back then. I bought two cream puffs today, each priced at Php23.00 …
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger is a homemade skillet meal kit that includes pasta, sauce mix, and toping mix; additional 1 lb of hamburger meat is required. The cooking process is rather long, it is definitely not one of those “heat & eat” packages. First, you fry hamburger …
Ore-Ida Steak Fries
I decided to make sloppy joes for dinner last night and, since I needed a side dish to go with them, I ended up picking up a bag of Ore-Ida steak fries. I wasn’t impressed with this purchase.
First of all, what kind of fries don’t come in a re-closable …
