Healthy Ones Deluxe Thin-Sliced Smoked Ham
This is the first time I’ve purchased Healthy Ones Deluxe Thin-Sliced Smoked Ham or any of the Healthy Ones thin-sliced deli-like products. I have used a couple of their related products, but not this one until now.
Healthy Ones has the approval of the American Heart Association. It’s …
Ortega Mild Taco Sauce
My family and I have been using Ortega Mild Taco Sauce for many years now. I enjoy the mild saucy taste as condiment when we have tacos. While there are several flavors that Ortega offers, mild is the family favor. Because it is not too spicy, but …
Idaho Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I used to think that no instant mashed potatoes can compare with the real, homemade stuff, time-consuming as it is to make it from scratch. My family thought so as well, and homemade mashed potatoes have always been a special and appreciated treat in our house. That was until …
Harvey Fresh UHT Long Life Lactose Free Milk
I love to eat cereals as my breakfast, but unfortunately, since I am asian, I do have lactose-intolerance. Eating dairy products, like even the simplest ice cream will definitely send me to the comfort room because I would often have cramps and suffer from diarrhea. I do indulge from …
Bearbrand Probiotics
Bearbrand probiotic drink is a Nestle product, a food company known for its worldwide popularity in manufacturing milk, cornflakes and baby food products. This is the latest innovation in the food industry aimed to provide a healthier digestion for all consumers.
Since I am a loyal Nestle customer and a …
Kraft Whole Grain Macaroni and Cheese
The evidence seems pretty conclusive that whole grain is good for the body, and now, down the pasta aisle at most grocery stores, alongside the regular pasta, there is now whole grain pasta. This is also true when it comes to the boxed macaroni and cheese mixes. One such …
Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups
I had bought Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups a while back. Not sure how long, but it was at least 5 months because I had moved since then and misplaced them. I had never before tasted them; this was the first and only time I …
Forrelli Snack Crackers
Money has been a bit tight and, since I used the last of my money to put some gas in my car this morning, I wasn’t able to buy any sort of snack for my desk at work.
Since I skipped breakfast again (something that happens whenever my youngest daughter …
Selecta Vanilla Ice Cream
I never go for plain flavors before but when I was left with no choice, I wanted the classic flavors of Selecta. Of all classic flavors, the least favorite of mine is vanilla because it feels too plain for me. I would prefer the old-time favorites like chocolate, strawberry or …
Coke Zero No Sugar
I made a promise to myself to cut down my intake of carbonated drinks and make it a habit instead of drinking more water. But sometimes it is really very tempting specially after a heavy meal or during a tired day or when you have to fight the urge …
Tesco Milk Chocolate Turkish Delight
This is a delicious chocolate bar that I have just discovered from Tesco’s own label. I only paid 66 pence for a big, 150g, bar of this which is very good value as you can easily pay that price for a much smaller bar. The bar consists …
PurAqua Frut Flavored Water Variety Pack
I found this flavored water from PurAqua, and yes, it’s spelled “frut” as opposed to “fruit” on the packaging for some odd reason, to be more refreshing than flavorful. Naturally, it’s going to be refreshing because it’s water, and when it’s enjoyed good and cold, it’s a refreshing, thirst-quencher. …
KRAFT Pizza
I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …
Pooles Meat and Potato Pies
Like me I’m sure that you are always looking for something different to eat, you know something that will make a change. Well a couple of weeks ago I spotted Pooles Meat and Potato Pies in the freezer compartment at my local Morrisons supermarket. The photograph on the packaging …
Wrigleys React 5 Sugarfree Gum
I am not a fan of any type of chewing gum, especially ones that are mint flavoured. Therefore, when one of my aunts offered me a pack of the new “Wrigley’s React 5 Sugarfree Gum” which I figured was going to be mint flavoured, I nearly refused it. Nevertheless, …
Quaker Oatmeal Instant
I purchase this product regularly and my family enjoys it but several weeks ago we found something wrong with the quality control of an envelope of Maple & Brown Sugar instant Oatmeal (a piece of paper or something like a peanut skin inside the package) and I wrote to …
ChocoLava Chocolate Drink
This product really gets a chuckle out of me. Why? It is because this is being endorsed by our local artist named John Lloyd Cruz with a tag line: “No more kid stuff for me.” That is really funny because this ChocoLava instant 3-in-1 chocolate drink is nothing but …
The Bar - Gin with Lemon and Lime
This was the first and original flavor of The Bar alcoholic drinks line, this was the first The Bar that I have tried, and the first time was really unforgettable. I didn’t think that it would be too strong or anything, so I drank one shot without any …
Kroger Kid-O’s Rich Mint Creme Cookies
Kroger Kid-O’s Rich Mint Creme retail for two dollars and twenty-nine cents and more cookies come in a package than in the Oreo Cool Mint Creme package, which these cookies are modeled after. Almost twenty ounces, actually. I was very impressed with the Kroger store brand product and I …
Celestial Seasonings Mint Magic Tea
I am an avid tea drinker, in particular mint teas. I drink no less than one large mug every night before bed, and it’s a vital part of my everyday health regimen. But I’m picky about which mint teas taste best; I prefer teas that taste as close to …
Honey Nut Crunch SunButter
Do you like trying new foods? Do you have a family that loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Are you into healthy items and do you want your children to have the best? If you can answer all these questions with a yes, then you have to try Honey …
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 …
Palermo’s Frozen Pizza
My husband is on the road a lot of the time for work. When he is home we have to have the full meal deal. When he is gone, my girls and I slack off in the cooking department. Like most kids, my girls like frozen pizza’s as well …
Elledi apricot jam tart
There’s one shop near my home where they sell different interesting things that you can’t find in other shops. Some of them are Elledi trademark product. I’ve already tried some waffles of the same brand and they were good but on one shelf here are Elledi tarts and there …
Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwich
There are few menu items at the Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant that I do not care for. The Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwich is most definitely one of them! I tried the sandwich once and never will I ever try it again. Neither the texture nor the flavor of the …
Iceberg Restaurant’s Yum Yum Cheesy Nachos
I just recently realized that the Icebergs Restaurant along Tomas Morato serves other dishes other than ice cream. So along with the ice cream dessert that we ordered, we also ordered a nice, easy to eat dish for the afternoon. My husband and I chose their Yum Yum Cheesy …
Woolworths Black Forest Chocolate Cake
Now I have always loved chocolate cake and it is something I indulge in on occasions other than mine, or someone else’s birthday.
Any chocolate cake tastes really good but I never knew something superior actually existed on a whole new level. On my aunt’s birthday, three days after mine, …
Twinkies Golden Sponge Cake
Twinkies Golden Sponge Cake is a snack that I used to enjoy more as a kid than I do as an adult. I used to like the sponge cake texture and taste, but now it kind of disgusts me. The creme on the inside is still pretty tasty and …
Appy Fizz Sparkling Apple Drink
I really like to drink sparkling juice because it is so refreshing and I like how it looks like a Champagne especially Appy Fizz Sparkling Apple Drink. The taste was unique from any other apple drink because this kind of beverage is really something that you can fake a …
Carvel Ice Cream Cake
Something that we usually get for everyones birthday in my family is a Carvel Brand Ice cream cake. It’s been a tradition for over 10 years and my family just loves the cakes that they make. I’m not a big fan of ice cream and I only eat …
Clover Valley Strawberry Lemonade
I tried Clover Valley Strawberry Lemonade as a addition to my dinner, chilled and over ice. I personally love different flavors combined with lemonade. With this it isn’t no difference.
My first impression of this beverage is that it’s really sweet, like not sugary but it’s certainly lemonade with …
L’oven Fresh Chocolate Chip Brownies
Packaged brownies will never, ever taste as moist or as fresh as freshly baked brownies at home. That being said, these pre-made brownies aren’t bad, but they aren’t as moist and soft as I would have liked them to be. They get softer if I warm them up in …
Greatwall Garlic Pork Luncheon Meat
I tried frying a few pieces of my newly purchased Greatwall Garlic Luncheon Meat. I personally like the taste and the aroma of garlic. Almost everything I cook has garlic in it. When I saw the product at the mall near my work place, I got curious and immediately …
Helados Mexico Premium Fruit Bar Guayava (Guava) Flavor
99 cents, 80 calories, free of corn syrup, and delicious! —“ what could be better for a cold treat on a hot summer day for health-conscious adults and their children?
If you’ve never tried guava before, give it a try and see if you like the flavor! I would describe …
Mrs. Freshley’s Raspberry Creme Cakes
I am pretty pleased with Mrs. Freshley’s Raspberry Creme Cakes. I find that unlike with some of the other products by this company, like the banana cakes, this creme cake actually has a pretty decent raspberry flavor that I find rather scrumptious - especially after I have just heated …
Carl’s Jr. Criss Cut Fries
Wow I just love to eat Carl’s Jr. Criss Cut Fries. The Criss Cut Fries are some of the best I have ever tasted in my life, and they really make me want to eat more. I really love the unique shape and taste of these great fries. I also …
Hannaford Root Beer
Okay so lately I haven’t had the money to buy named brand root beer so I ended up getting the store brand kind and I must say I like it a lot. The store brand root beer I have been drinking is Hannaford Root Beer. It has a creamy …
Nature’s Path: Brown Sugar Maple Cinnamon Frosted Toaster Pastry
This is, quite easily, my most favorite toaster pastry that is made by Nature’s Path! Nature’s Path: Brown Sugar Maple Cinnamon Frosted Toaster Pastry is an incredibly delicious toaster pastry that is so very rich in flavor! When it is cooking in the toaster, the sweet smell of brown …
Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage
I love having Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage for breakfast, it is a great addition to French toast or waffles. This sausage is sold whole or sliced, in a box. We have bought both versions; the taste is the same, but each packaging type has its own advantages and disadvantages. …
Spaans Lemon Chiffon Sugar-Free Cookies
Guess what? The Holiday Season 2014 is here! (Yipee.)
Your “level of yip and ee” may vary depending on your level of necessary preparedness for the season. Family, fun, presents and treat temptations galore right? We all know the score. I bring that first part up because, as per …
Kenton Schoke Mousse
in Chocolate caught my eye. I was tired of traditional chocolate puddings, and thought this mousse might make an interesting desert for my family. It retailed for $2.99CDN.
Kenton�s packaging was quite ritzy, all red and gold and I was surprised to find I only needed to add a cup …
Walmart Mini Donuts
My parents surprised us yesterday with some groceries they picked up at Walmart. Among those groceries were individual packs of Walmart Mini Donuts.
Those proved to be pretty good.
I’m not a huge fan of a lot of Walmart brands but these donuts were among the best we have had. There …
Hormel Turkey Chili
When I transitioned from my late teens to my 20s, I started to watch what I ate. Sadly, this meant no more deep-fried foods, substituting lean meats for beef, upping my vegetable intake about three times, and watching the amount of sugar I ate. This is sadly …
Minute Maid Fruit Punch Juice
I love Minute Maid Fruit Punch and it’s certainly my most favorite brand of fruit punch juice. Minute Maid Fruit Punch is available in my different containers and sizes. I love the fact that I am able to enjoy a small bottle Minute Maid Fruit Punch …
Tator Tot Casserole
Tator tot casserole is an amazingly delicious dish and the ultimate comfort food. I grew up with my mom making this (or a variation of this casserole) at least once per week. There are several different ways to make Tator Tot Casserole, but the way we make it is …
Wrigleys Extra Spearmint Gum
I have always had a hard time finding a gum that was long lasting enough and had a great flavor. I always knew about Extra but I had never really been drawn to it before because of all the new gums constantly coming out on the market claiming to …
Aunt Jemima Butter Rich Syrup
Aunt Jemima Butter Rich Syrup has a distinctive flavor to it that separates it from the original syrup. The main difference is this syrup has a very real butter flavor integrated with the normal syrup flavor. The butter flavor is most certainly rich and real, however, that did not …
Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks proved to be a moderately enjoyable breakfast meal, although I did encounter a few minor problems. First of all, it would have been quite nice if these French Toast sticks would have come either with powdered sugar on top of them or a packet. …
