Once more, for the third time exploring my near diabetic Papa’s arsenal of store-bought holiday treats, we have Spaans Sugar Free Spiced Windmill cookies next on the buffet line. (For clearer context, see my other Spaans cookie reviews, such as Lemon Chiffon and Ginger Bars.)
So…how does this latest “commandeered …

Pillsbury perfect portions is a great invention for single people. I have always had trouble when making biscuits, especially out of the can. You can’t open a can of biscuits and save any of them for later, because they get hard and spoil. It’s gets pretty …

One in a while I indulge myself and eat a sinfully delicious stack of pancakes. I cook for one, but most packaging are for several people. I was glad that I saw Magnolia Pancake Plus in a 200g packaging in the grocery. The label said that it can make …

I have tried other pancake mixes, as well as baking mixes. I came back to Bisquick. Bisqick just makes a better pancake, as well as good waffles. I also use bisquick to make bread, cinnamon rolls, bisquits, and any thing else that requires a great dough. My pie crusts …

Last week, I bought a trial 18 oz jar of Great Value Apricot & Pineapple preserves. Today we have finished it, and it is already on our grocery list for the next trip to the store. Yes, we all loved it. I am not particularly fond of apricot, but …

This instant coffee from the Clipper brand —“ Organic Freeze-Dried Arabica Coffee —“ is a very ethical product indeed. It is marked as —˜Fairtrade’, it is organic and therefore cultivated without the use of pesticides I presume and even the jar is made of 60% recycled glass. …

Purefoods Chinese Style Luncheon Meat is what we had partnered with rice in our dinner today. Well I think it will be more fun to have it paired with bread and not rice. Well I really like luncheon meats but I did not really enjoy this one. I have …

In my opinion chocolate and orange go great together, especially if the chocolate is dark. A few days ago a friend came to visit me and she brought me a present she knows that I like sweets, especially chocolate so she bought me Witor’s Chocolate Candy party confection. It …

I am not really a big fan of green teas, but I have recently been drinking one that I really like and it is the Celestial Seasonings Authentic Green Tea. I like this tea because it has a blend of white tealeaves in with the green tea leaves to …

I love crepes. There are a lot of restaurants serving crepes but no one has ever topped my favorite from café Breton. This restaurant has been in the business for years and they are still number one in my book.
This afternoon my husband and I were so hungry we …

Okay, I admit it. I’m a cookie dough fiend. Half the fun of using dough to make cookies is eating the dough while you’re laying it out on the cookie sheet to be baked. Just be careful, though — too much dough can really do you …

I have never used Mozzarella very much but I have been trying to be more adventurous lately and I wanted to try Mozzarella in a wrap, although I did not know whether it would be a success or not. I was glad to be able to buy a …

I’m nursing a seasonal cold, so I went to the store to find that orange juice, normally a little higher than other juices, was jacked up suspiciously higher than normal. Instead of selling in to the cold-time mania, I opted to try some Tropicana fruit punch instead. Two quarts …

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 …

Although it is normally a Meat kind of Pizza that I eat, I do on the odd occasion reach for a Ham and pineapple Pizza. It makes a nice enough change but it’s not the kind of Pizza that I could and would eat all that often.
This is a …

Whenever I have this craving for chinese noodles or locally known as pancit canton, I just grab a couple of packs of Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton. This certainly satisfies my craving instantly.
Why would I bother to cook pancit canton the regular way, when I can have almost the …

For just three dollars and thirty-three cents, this frozen pizza made by Kroger and sold under the Private Selection brand name sounded just too good to pass up. The box that held the Premium Quality Private Selection Thin Crust Margherita Pizza stated that this pizza had three kinds of …

New York Style - Pretzel Flatz Original is a cross between a potato chip and a pretzel. It is actually just a pretzel in the shape and texture of a potato chip. This means that unlike a lot of pretzels sold, these pretzels are thinner and more brittle - …

I have a major sweet tooth and I remember the first time I saw Nestle Rolos. I had went on vacation and encountered this candy which was in a package shaped just like the a small piece of pipe or tube, maybe about five inches long and when I …

I like this spread because it offers a blend of fruits, not just one. It’s not that easy surprisingly to find a spread that contains multiple fruits, but this one does, and I’m happy with it. In it, there’s supposed to be raspberries, cherries, black raspberries and red berries. …

As a vegetarian, I have a hard time finding food on the go. My choices are limited to the bean burrito at Taco Bell or the veggie burger at Burger King. However, the quality of these foods gives me severe gas and doesn’t satiate my appetite. …

My boyfriend’s favorite soda is cherry, which is not a very common soda. I decided to get him a soda maker along with this Torani cherry flavored syrup for Christmas, and we both really love this syrup.
The syrup has a really good, strong cherry flavor to it without being …

These pudding treats are made to be eaten as …

I highly recommend Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothie with Apple Juice, which is my favourite smoothie drink. I enjoy the delicious, smooth drink because I find that it is a subtly sweet, healthy product that contains my 100% Vitamin C intake for the day. Plus, it contains three …

Recently I received a nice gift, a box of Baccarat cigars. As I never have smoked them before, I did a little bit of research first. The brand has long been recognized as one of the finest cigars in its price category being. It is handmade …

My daughter is almost a year old, and since she is getting off her formula it is important to make sure the solid food she is going on still has the same nutritional value. Although the Gerber food is good, I don’t think it has enough Iron in it …

If you’ve ever gone to a Vietnamese restaurant, you have probably encountered this chili sauce. If so, you’ve already had the pleasure of its acquaintance.
If not, let me be the first to introduce you.

It was my first time yesterday to see Starbucks offering a Cookie Dough Cheesecake as on of its dessert selections. As I love cheesecake and cookie dough, it seemed only natural for me to order a slice which I shared with my friend. A slice cost Php105 …

Drinking hot beverage is something we love especially in rainy season or winter season in Western countries. When I was in Shanghai, one of the drinks I ordered in their Starbucks branch was hot chocolate because I did not know any of their drink. It has always been a …

I tried the Knorr 30 Minute Marinades Yesterday.
I have a package of four flavours but the first one I tried was the Sesame Ginger with Mandarin Orange Juice and I was quite impressed.
I know that typically the longer you marinade a cheaper cut of beef, the more tender and …

In this economy, one of the ways our family has tried to save money is by purchasing generic items instead of name brand products. The last time I was at the grocery store, I decided to try Best Choice Frozen Breaded Zucchini, a generic product that our store …

For me, having a slim posture is really important than any other things in my life, I even dare for not eating for a day just to reduce 10 lbs in a week. Sometimes, I can be addicted toward mass diet (even though I know it’s not a good …

While these cookies are relatively tasty, I’m not really that wild about them. Oatmeal cookies are not my favorite kind of cookie, and so I don’t snack on oatmeal cookies as often as say peanut butter or chocolate, but there are times when I’ll be ready for something a …

Coca Cola is probably one of the most popular, if not the most popular, manufactured drinks in the world. It seems that there is no place on Earth where Coca Cola hasn’t reached.
Coca Cola is not a drink that I consume regularly. However, I do drink some Cola …

I was never much of breakfast person before, but recently I acquired a strong liking for a bowel of Honey Nut Cheerios in the morning during the week. I heard about what it could do to my health from my local news station and decided that since it tasted …

Being conscious of what I put in my body often means reading the labels beyond the labels. With canned foods, this usually means doing the research to discover whether or not a particular can contains BPA in its lining. Unfortunately, the answer is, most of that time, that yes …

Product Description: Box of 10 pork breakfast sausage links (I bought maple flavor) available at select stores for around $2.50/box.

I do not like these Little Debbie Peanut Butter on Toasty nearly as much as I enjoy the cheese and peanut butter crackers made by Little Debbie. After eating the cheese crackers, these plain crackers just taste, well, plain. There is not much to them other than they are …

Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Mushroom French Bread Pizza did not turn out as tasty as I thought that it would. The picture on the box looked quite scrumptious, but unfortunately, the picture built up my hopes quite too much. The reason for my disappointment is really very simple: neither the …

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 …
