Hebrew National Beef Franks have been around for a long time, but I’ve never tried them until recently. Frankly (not to be pun-ful here), I really prefer not to think about what is in a hot dog. I know it’s not the best stuff, but like the …

Wow, what timing! I really can’t believe it, in fact, but a few days ago I did a review for Welch’s Strawberry Soda, and I mentioned there that the only reason I’d purchased it was because I just couldn’t find Crush anymore. As ironic as it sounds, …

Pearson’s Mint Patties have been around for a very long time, and my family has bought them for just as long. They come in a distinctive green and silver package, each thin mint wrapped individually. They’re low in fat and made of real peppermint oil, which is …

One of my all time favorite foods is garlic bread. I’m always on the look out for products to give me an easy answer for that garlic craving. I saw a coupon for this product the other day, so when I went shopping and saw it on the …

Oh my, yes! Sara Lee Simple Sweets - Apple Pie is yummy, scrumptious, and oh-so-delicious! I love it. I tried one a while back and was impressed and just purchased another one to see if would be great twice in a row, and it was.
This frozen …

One of the very first ‘added-on’ products that Jimmy Dean made (in other words, something other than straight sausage) was their Sausage Biscuits. When I first had them several years ago, I liked them alot. Somewhere along the line, they lost some of their zip, and I stopped …

Printed Fun Pop Tarts are a limited edition product promoting the Hendrick Motor Sports racers in NASCAR. Actually, the shots for the promotion were done in 2008, though the product is just now available in early 2009. As a result, one of the four drivers isn’t actually …

Recently I did a review for Welch’s Strawberry Soda. I mentioned there that years ago there was a really delicious Strawberry Crush, that I rarely find now and I’m not even sure it’s still made. I had purchased the Welch’s to see how it compared. Honestly, …

For some reason, I don’t have the knack for cooking French Bread pizzas, though I love them. My father used to make them for me all the time, but somehow or another, I usually strike it. I decided to give it another try though with Red Baron …

I really don’t understand why there is a difference, but over the years, from my own experience and based on conversations with others, there is no doubt that there is a definite difference between the A&W root beer acquired at an A&W restaurant versus the cans and liters purchased …

I’ve always loved root beer, but my favorite root beer went out of business ages ago, and it took a long time to find out that I really liked again. Barq’s Root Beer is wonderful. It has the taste I love, and it looks and acts like …

I’ve eaten similar products to Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches, but not this exact one until now. Specifically, this is the ‘Meal Size’ version, which contains four croissant sandwiches to a box. These croissants are a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich.
The ‘meal size’ sandwiches are, indeed, larger than …

It’s been a while since I’ve purchased hot cocoa, but since I’m economizing by keeping my heat off most of the time, I thought I’d get some more to help warm me up during those colder moments of the day and/or night. I decided to purchase Nestle Hot …

Spices so often make or break a dish. Now, I’m not a big cook. My readers know that, but one of the spices I’ve grown up with and can use on almost anything is cinnamon. I just adore the taste. One of the most basic …

I love Hillshire Farms Lit’l Smokies Smoked Sausage. They’re so cute and fun to eat, and you can enjoy them in a variety of ways, making them a versatile food.
This product is fully cooked, meaning we just have to heat and serve. I love convenience like that. …

Popsicles are a stable of every child’s life. I grew up with them, in various varieties. My favorite, though, was definitely the Popsicle Fudgsicle Ice Cream Bar. How can you beat chocolate ice cream? For a kid like me, you couldn’t.
Popsicle Fudgsicle Ice Cream Bars …

I have to admit that Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches are yummy. I also have to say they’re darn expensive, which is why I don’t get them very often. Still, for a treat, they’re hard to beat.
The silver package with the white polar bear has been …

Growing up, I was a chocolate junkie. I still love chocolate, but I think I’m more finicky these days and I like a bit of variety with the chocolate. For example, instead of chocolate on chocolate, I prefer a white cake with chocolate frosting, or a chocolate …

All types of food come available in various sizes these days, but I had to admit that I was very surprised when Ben & Jerry came out with a single serving size of their ice cream. Each mini-carton is about 3.6 ounces, and each comes with a small …

Stouffer’s is one of my favorite frozen food companies. In fact, it’s the first one that I had decades ago that tasted like good food instead of plastic shoe string. One of the offerings I’ve imbibed on multiple occasions is their lasagna dish.
Stouffer’s Frozen Food - Lasagna …

Stouffer’s Frozen Food - Spaghetti with Meatballs is a product I’ve purchased for several years now. I’m a spaghetti fiend and am always searching for good and easy spaghetti to prepare.
Stouffer’s is actually the first frozen food brand that I ever liked. Until their products came out, …

Michael Angelos Meat Lasagna is a product I began purchasing about two years ago and overall, I’m pleased with it.
The product is preservative free and is prepared with ground beef that is sauted with fresh garlic and onions. It also includes tomatoes and a blend of Italian spices. …

My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …

I tried Simply Orange for the first time recently. I’m not a big orange juice drinker. I never liked pulp, but my parents did, so that’s probably why I shied away from it. Unless they purchased the pulp-free variety, which wasn’t available really until I was …

In my lifetime, I’ve tried a variety of cake mixes, and I suppose that at various times, different brands have been my favorite. Lately, I’ve been purchasing Betty Crocker Super Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix off and on.
For one thing, Betty Crocker is an industry leader. There’s …

Jimmy Dean Heat ‘N Serve Sausages - Regular is another product I buy off and on from this long time breakfast favorite. With the passage of years I probably buy it less than I used to simply because I’ve discovered newer Jimmy Dean products that I prefer more.
This …

Banquet tends to be a brand I don’t like very much; it tends to be on the lower end of the quality scale, but for some reason I love the Banquet Brown ‘N Serve Sausage Links, especially the Original flavor. Now, I’m not sure, but for many years …

I adore Nachos. It’s one of my favorite Mexican foods, second only to the taco. Unfortunately, I don’t get to have them very much, and it’s really hard to find it exactly how I like it. Still, when I decided to start testing out Oscar Mayer …

I’ve heard about the popular Oscar Mayer Lunchables for many years, but they came along long after I was a kid so it really wasn’t until recently that I gave them a try. They were on sale and I was looking for more quick and easy meals.
This particular …

One of my favorite luncheon meats is Hillshire Farms Oven Roasted Turkey - Ultra Thin. I like it for various reasons.
Hillshire Farms is a trusted brand, so I know the turkey is going to be top quality. Of great importance, it tastes great. I love making …

This is my favorite bread’s brand; at least this one is so popular in my country. Not only because the bread is so soft and fluff, the taste is really delicious and vary. I started to know about this brand since I moved to live in such a bigger …

The Starbucks Vivanno is a great treat to have any time of the day; however, I recommend having it for breakfast or lunch because it is very filling. The Starbucks Vivanno that I am reviewing is the Chocolate Banana Vivanno. When you order the drink, Starbucks will put a …

I just purchased a box of Chung’s Pork Egg Rolls and they are excellent. There are 4 egg rolls in a box, each egg roll is about the size of the ones you would get in a Chinese restaurant. They can be prepared in the microwave or in the …

I am starting to be a health freak. I monitor the nutritional facts of the foods I take in. Envidia Green Tea caught my attention by their commercial with the catchy line “One Two Zero”. One for having EGCG (Epigallocathecin Gallate), two for two times power of L-Carnitine and …

Today I ate lunch at Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburger Restaurant and my lunch included French fries. I’ve always loved French fries so eating at a fast food restaurant that serves them is a plus. While not the absolute best French fries around (McDonald’s is the best tasting), the ones …

This is my all-time favorite pizza from Rocky Rococo. Every day Rocky Rococo has a different pizza served on a different day, called the Slice of the Day. Uncle Sal’s Spectacular is served on Mondays. If I am downtown on Monday during the lunch hour, I will always stop …

I eat at Rocky Rococo’s once or twice a week at their downtown location and I love their breadsticks. Every time I eat here it seems that each person in front of me orders them, too. They are very delicious and baked perfectly each time. Not once have I …

I’m not vegan, but I enjoy trying new things and finding occasional alternatives from mainstream foods, so I’m on stranger to these sorts of things.
This package of 12 single slices actually has as note on the back that says it “contains milk (dairy)”. So it almost seems …

If you’re looking for a healthy alternative snack you should try Growers’ Nutribar. It was recommended to me by roommate who is into weight lifting. It looks like an energy bar but cheaper. A bar costs 14 Philippine Pesos (about 28 US cents) and box of six costs 80 …

As someone without a lot of cash or liquid assets, my choices in booze are more limited than I would like. It would be nice if I could drink twelve year old scotch or microbrew every time I want to get drunk, but my budget won’t allow that. What …

Bengal Spice Tea is made by Celestial Seasons. It is a spice tea that is delicious and made with several kinds of spices. They include “cinamon,roasted chicory,roasted carob,natural spice and vanilla flavors,with other natural flavors, as well as ginger,cardamon, black pepper,cloves and nutmeg”.
This tea …

I’m not much into having a chocolate-coated wafer as a snack especially when it’s white chocolate. Then one time I was given a Kitkat White Bar as a prize for winning in a game. Since I don’t really like it, I tried to swap Kitkat for my …

Propel vitamin water is currently my favorite thirst quencher. It fits my work lifestyle which requires a lot of thinking. It contains different vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin E and it is calorie free. Propel has also very low grams of sugar and carbohydrate. It is available …

While running errands one day, I stopped off at Target’s in-store Lunch Counter for a quick meal. I’ve eaten there in the past on occasion, but I hadn’t been there for several months. They used to serve French fries and a tasty chicken breast sandwich, but that is long …

The other day I stopped off at Target’s in-store lunch counter while running errands in the area. I had skipped breakfast that day so I was pretty hungry. In the past they had some decent sandwiches and on occasion I would buy one from them. Alas, those days are …

I love to eat chicken soup, but the process of making chicken soup is lengthy, so I bought this instant soup from “Knorr”. This soup is really easy to make, even a child can make this. I took a pan, and pour water in it, and I pour all …

One of the drinks I really love to order whenever I’m at McDonald’s is their Coke Float. It’s a mixture of any softdrink you prefer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I favor the combination of rootbeer and ice cream but McDonald’s seldom offer that kind of combination …

Those with food sensitivities or allergies of all sorts know how difficult it can be to find some kinds of pre-packaged foods that are edible. Things such as soy lecithin and high fructose corn syrup are in everything: candy, cereal, bread - you name it.
Enjoy Life (http://www.enjoylifefoods.com) is a …

My son wanted to try one of these sandwiches. So he ordered one, he wanted it plain, with only cheese on it. He was surprised when he sat down to east his sandwich, this was a big one! Three big burgers, but the most surprising part of …

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 …
