There are times when baking a cake at home is an option and there are times when, well, there simply isn’t the time to make a cake from scratch or from a box mix. Baking a cake from one’s kitchen certainly has its upsides as such cakes typically taste …

Rich mango juices from big companies are expensive. It is in this context I saw Jumex mango juice in the Albertsons rack. I was impressed with the price of two and a half dollars for sixty two Oz. Also it was written that it was from nectars. This all …

I love to cook and I don’t mind admitting I use a few shortcuts.
Here’s one of the best–one of the essentials, in my kitchen. Vigo Italian style breadcrumbs with romano cheese. This stuff saves me so much time and trouble, and makes my foods fantastic. There are so many …

Steak —˜N Shake Grilled Chicken Sandwich
I know when you go to a hamburger joint you’re suppose to get the hamburger. But when there are little healthier options on the menu, I generally go for it. So when I saw a menu item called the Grilled Chicken sandwich …

Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties are mouth-watering! When I want one, I cook it in the oven, no need to defrost, and out comes a delicious tasting burger that’s filling and flavorful! The burgers are bigger and thicker than quarter-pound burgers and six come in …

GT diet cola is a product that is sold by Aldis. It is a product that is sold in a twelve pack. It is very inexpensive I think it retails for around 2.49 for a twelve pack. This is a very affordable price for a twelve …

Recently, I was able to try Red Mango’s newest flavor offering, blueberry, which they are serving for a limited time as their Valentine offering. I love yogurt and love natural and fresh tasting flavors. I hate anything tasting artificial. I also do not like frozen yogurts …

I usually don’t get appetizers at a restaurant because most of them are nothing special. It’s mostly stuff that they take out of the freezer and toss into the deep fryer. But when I read the description for Chicken Quesadilla Grande, it sounded like something that was …

I have started eating yogurt because of its benefits to my body. The first yogurt I ate again for the longest time was the Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt, Raspberry Apple flavor. Today, I took one from the six-pack yogurt that I bought. This time, the flavor is Yummy Strawberry.
I …

Most people I ever discussed these “topix” with, liked —“ or, in some cases, disliked - the original Twix because of its gooey caramel and crumbling biscuit filling. It was —“ still is - achingly sweet and it felt like it would take a week to brush it off the …

We finally finished up the box of Pop Weaver microwaveable popcorn we bought a couple weeks ago. I’m glad. This will be the last time I buy this brand.
We love popcorn in our house and eat it a couple times each week. But, when it comes to this brand, …

I tried the Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles because they were supposed to be just as good as the regular Golden Crinkles, but could be cooked much quicker by simply sticking them in the microwave as opposed to the oven. All I needed to do was make …

I am not a huge fan of cupcakes. The only time I like to eat them is for an afternoon snack paired with coffee. Well I would not go to great lengths just to be able to eat cupcakes and there are a lot of supermarket ready-packed cupcakes that …

This is the first and last time I will buy Dempsters Flax Bread. The packaging boasts that this bread is 100 percent whole grain;a source of omega-3 and also has the health check from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. None of those qualities can redeem this bread.
I had …

The other day at the supermarket I was shopping and saw a new product on the shelves in the drinks aisle. It was a Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Apple Juice by a company named Eva. They had a few other flavours available but I decided to try this flavour first.
I got …

I’m the type of iced tea lover who’s extremely picky about the teas I drink. When in restaurants, I hate when the waitress refills my iced-tea glass without asking-completely disturbing my perfect tea/sugar ratio. With that being said, I discovered Mayfield’s Iced Tea in the gallon …

Minute Maid Premium Orange Juice is a staple in my family. Every morning we have our orange juice before starting our day. One day, I didn’t realize that we were out of the Minute Maid, so I served my family another brand that I happened to have …

I didn’t care very much for this Italian Side. The main reason that this Italian Side failed to win me over is because of the tomato sauce. It was pretty bland and thus not satisfying to the taste. The sauce did have some garlic mixed in for seasoning, but …

I start every day with a cup of coffee, and the quality of that cup of coffee sets the mood for the quality of the upcoming day. Too weak a cup of coffee tends to lead to a lackluster day, and too strong a cup of coffee just …

In our family, all of us like quite strong tasting food, although I was the only one who could not eat my mum’s Vindaloo curries. But, we all really like stinky, strong cheese that probably other families would have thrown away. I like the convenience of soft …

I like cucumber in my salad, but as I quickly found out, I am not too fond of cucumber any other way - and that includes in drink form! I was not crazy about this cucumber flavored water because it simply had a taste to it that was too …

This is a lovely red wine, it is full of summer berry flavours and is quite a sweet wine. I first tasted this wine at room temperature but was told that it was also nice chilled. The second time I tasted it was chilled and it …

The “J” cafeteria at Humboldt State University serves calzones for lunch every tuesday. A calzone is like a small pizza without the sauce that is folded in half and closed, so it’s like a big home-made cheesey pizza pocket. The cost is $1.10 with a meal plan …

Sometimes I want chicken, but don’t want the hassle of cooking it. Cooking chicken can be a pain. It takes a long time and often more effort than I’d like to expend. If I want to make chicken cutlets, I have to cut them, mix the …

This past fourth of July, I was searching for a dessert that would not only taste sweet and satisfying, but would also be refreshing in the summer heat. When I found the ice cream cake with cookies layered in inside, I knew that I had to try it out. …

Panera makes good bread! I think anyone who has visited this bakery/restaurant can tell you their breads does not even compare to the supermarket variety. The flavors are well-developed and well-rounded, the crust is expertly created, and the interior is bubbling with holes that can only be …

Red Ribbon has always been known for its chocolate mousse cake. This month they came out with a new limited edition cake called the Chocolate Mango Mousse.
From first sight, you can see how beautifully crafted the entire cake is. The chocolate ganache just glistens and looks very …

Mother’s Iced Lemonade Cookies are sold at gas stations and convenience stores across the United States. I think you can also get them from some stores, but I usually see them at the gas station in smaller bags perfect for snacking on. Each bag is white, with some bright …

I find Mrs. Freshley’s Doughnut Sticks to be a tasty treat to have every once and a great while. Granted, these doughnut sticks are not quite as fresh as the doughnuts that can be purchased at the local doughnut shop or the doughnuts that are sold behind the glass …

This is another variation of the Lady’s Choice products made by Unilever. What I love about this sandwich spread is its very real taste as well as its health benefits. It is made up of real bits of tuna and a …

Log Cabin: Country Kitchen Original is not quite as good as the original Log Cabin syrup. To me, there is a definitely difference in taste that while not extensive, still reduces my enjoyment of my breakfast somewhat. It seems with the Country Kitchen syrup, the syrup does not taste …

I’ve always loved hot dogs, and I grew up hearing the jingle about Oscar Mayer wieners. We ate a bunch of them before my parents switched brands. I had no part of that; I was a kid. It’s only been in the last couple of years …

Pizza is easily one of my all time favorite foods. I generally have a couple of slices every week, so it’s one of the most common purchases I make when I’m at the grocery store. I came across the Simply Nature Uncured Pepperoni Thin & Crispy Crust Pizza for …

You’ve probably heard of Haagan Dazs ice cream and probably have tried it before. If not, then well, you’re missing out. Haagan Dazs is a great brand of ice cream. Not only do they have unique, gourmet flavors but they also have regular flavors. No matter what flavor you …

In India the Wadilal ice creams are very popular and are very tasty and yummy too. Especially the wadilal chocobars are my favourite ice creams. Actually I have tasted the chocobar ice creams of many brands but the wadilal chocobar is something very special. Unlike any …

Today I got to experience a soft drink from Scotland while having lunch at a new British-styled Fish and Chips shop. I already had English tea, but wanted something more. This particular brand was the only thing they had that was diet. They carry no products that originate in …

The reason why I bought Sea Kid Crispy Pusit is the style of packaging. I noticed the blue silvery color of the upper part of the packaging. The printed word of “Pusit” made me stop by and look at the product more clearly. There is a picture of Squid …

As a parent, I know the importance of always having healthy snacks available both around the house and when we’re on the go. One of the most important food items we always have on hand are little bags of fruit snacks.
In the past, I’ve always bought the more expensive …

I decided to pick up this cake slice because, let’s just face it every once in a while we’re in a cake sort of mood.
I like the idea of buying a small amount of cake. This slice as they call it is actually enough to slice up and feed …

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 …

Salchichas con curry by Gebirgsjager 1.95 euros per pack of 3
I have been shopping at Lidels supermarket on a weekly basis for the last 9 months since I have moved over to Mallorca from England because I recognise a lot of their foods that they sell in England. …

Product description: Bag of red potatoes from the brand Potato Goodness out of Antigo, WI. The 5-pound bag cost us around $3.
What I liked about this product: It’s probably because I live in the same state but I’ve found most bags of potatoes from Wisconsin companies seem to be …

Well, it’s time for a classic. I’ve been going on a binge here lately buying local to me (Southeast Texas) or independent brands particularly in the jam/jelly/honey butter department, I thought it was time for a change. Along with my usual essential provisions at the grocery store, (Bacon, beer, …

Although I find this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Pumpkin variety to be enjoyable, much like the cheesecake no bake line, I prefer a fresh, homemade pumpkin pie because it is so much richer and more moist! This no bake dessert is alight, but it is a little on …

It was a halfway decent day out yesterday, with the temperatures in the 60s for the first time in a couple of weeks. Since it was likely one of the last days we will have like that before winter, I took full advantage and decided to fire up our …

I love naan bread with Indian food. Indian dishes are often very saucy, and these are great for scooping up every last bit of the sauce. At the restaurants, the texture is soft slightly chewy and airy almost like a warm, oily version of white pita bread. Garlic naan …

When it comes to ice cream, Breyer’s All Natural is pretty much the cream of the crop. I mean, Breyer’s is a name that has been around for years, and it is very comforting to pick up a box of ice cream that only has three or four …

I have been seeing this huge poster advertising Haagen Dazs’ new flavor, Dark Chocolate orange for quite a while already. The advertisement was effective as every time I looked at it, I felt tempted to buy it. It was a seductive picture of a man with his face …

I was given a bag of Rold Gold Pretzels: Dark Dipped Bavarian twist to try from a friend who is in love with pretzels. Being that I am a person who loves trying new things, I couldn’t turn down her offer. I actually have never previously had crunchy pretzels …
