Peanut Delight Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread
There are a lot of different flavors and varieties out there of peanut butter, and even saying that might be an understatement! Sometimes, too many choices can make making an actual choice quite hard and, sometimes, if you’re just looking for something simple, it can get lost among all …
Publix Sliced Pork Tenderloin in Schechwan Style Sauce
I am the only member of my family who eats pork and I am not much of a cook. I have noticed an increase prepared foods in my local Publix supermarket so I spent some time on a recent shopping trip to look more closely in the refrigerator …
Greenlife Stevia Natural Sweetener
I have always been conscious with my sugar intake because my family has a history of diabetes in both my mother and father side. As far as I can remember, I always favor drinking soda sweetened with either Equal or Nutrasweet. I very rarely take refined sugar, and when …
Century Tuna Lite
Indulging in food is not bad for as long as you know the right proportions of food to eat and what kind of food to eat. I am the type of person who eats everything but singles out the right amount. But there is always downside and choosing the …
Haagan Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond ice cream
I’m sure most people have heard of Haagan Dazs. They make some really good ice creams with exotic flavors. The difference between Haagan Dazs and Ben and Jerry’s ice creams, aside from the flavors and names is that Ben and Jerry’s angle is fun and creativity. Whereas Haagan Dazs …
Todai Seafood & Sushi Buffet in Puente Hills Mall
Todai Seafood Buffet…where do I start? Okay, I’ll start by giving the bottom line: this place is amazing. Before coming, I was a little skeptical that an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet would be any good; most Asian buffets fall flat in the flavor department and are overpriced. True …
Club House la grille Marinade - Lemon and Black Pepper
With two young children, it is hard to find time to make anything but quick, simple meals. Chicken is a staple in our house, and our regular chicken dishes quickly get boring. I picked up a bottle of Lemon and Black Pepper Marinade from
Club House in desperation to spice …
Stouffer’s Meat Lasagna
I was looking for a quick lunch Saturday afternoon and ended up running up the street to Walgreens to purchase a single-serve sized Stouffer’s Meat Lasagna. I have had these in the past and, for the most part, will confess I’m getting a
bit burned out on them. But, they do …
Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry
Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry is not a flavor combination that I am wild about. The combination sounded tasty, but unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case. I do not feel that either flavor, be it the chocolate or the raspberry, came out well because this yogurt …
Premium Quality Private Selection Thin Crust Margherita Pizza
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 …
Snyder’s of Hanover Honey Mustard & Onion Pretzel Pieces
I love Rold Gold Honey Mustard pretzels but I have been having a difficult time finding it around. I always just see the original flavor which I do not feel like buying. That is why when I saw the Snyder’s of Hanover Honey Mustard and Onion Pretzel …
Kroger Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
Due to health reasons, I only buy peanut butter that is “natural”, meaning the only ingredients are roasted peanuts and either salt or salt and sugar (and possibly a little extra oil), so that I can avoid the trans fats in hydrogenated oils that are often included in other …
The White Hat Frozen Yogurt
Each time I see this shop - The White Hat, I feel really curious about why is it called the white hat. It is intriguing to see a white colored store in a crowded and busy mall. Every time I pass by I thought of figuring out what’s in …
Jose Ole Mini Tacos
I love tacos, but don’t like the mess involved with making them from scratch, and I just don’t get to Taco Bell as frequently as I’d like. I’ve tried various products in the past to try and satisfy my taco cravings, but Jose Ole Mini Tacos is the …
Betty Crocker Homestyle Creamy Butter Mashed Potatoes
Betty Crocker Homestyle Creamy Butter Mashed Potatoes is the most recent variety of these pouched, easy cooking mashed potato products that I’ve tried. I buy them because they are about as quick and easy as you can get when it comes to cooking mashed potatoes.
There are a couple …
Entenmann’s 8 Glazed Buttermilk Donuts
I find Entenmann’s 8 Glazed Buttermilk Donuts to be an enjoyable treat once and a great while. While these donuts are not quite as soft or fresh as the donuts sold individually in the cases, eight do come in a box and at a good value, too. Plus, the …
100 Grand candy bar
Recently, I purchased one of those candy combination packages that you find at a warehouse store. These are great values as a rule and that’s why I tend to buy them from time to time. This particular one included a few 100 Grand candy bars, which is …
Options Mint Madness Instant Hot Chocolate Drink
I have bought these Options instant hot chocolate drink sachets when I have been dieting as they are very, very low in calories at only 34 in every drink. But when I am not trying to lose weight, I would rather get a different brand as these Options …
Pearson’s Mint Patties
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 …
Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches
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 …
President’s Choice Blue Menu Fibre Plus Bran Flakes
I tried this cereal in an attempt to start having healthy breakfasts.
I had tried All Bran before but found it rather unpleasant in taste and in the fact that you have to chew it for way too long. The reason I tried the PC Blue Menu Fibre Plus …
Stouffer’s Fettuccini Alfredo
Stouffer’s Fettuccini Alfredo is a decent pasta meal that I purchase from time to time. There is nothing too special about this meal though, and that is why I do not purchase it too regularly. There is nothing at all wrong with the noodles and the sauce that goes …
Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup
I have to say that I believe that Mrs. Butterworth stole some of Aunt Jemima’s thunder. That’s based on personal experience because after being pretty loyal to Jemima, we ended up switching over to Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup more often than not. There are still other brands …
Trailing rosemary
We bought two of these plants for about four dollars a piece at Lowes, they were potted in one gallon containers and were about a foot tall. Since then, it has been about five weeks, and they have expanded in size quite a bit. They now stand about a …
La Yogurt: Guava Mango Lowfat Yogurt
I enjoy frozen yogurt in the morning, and every time I go to the grocery store I pick up some. Normally, I get Dannon. However, when I went to the store last week La Yogurt was on sale for only fifty cents. This is pretty cheap for yogurt and …
Lambertz Exquisit biscuits Chockies
Lambertz cookies come in a really nice box, it is thing and in a shape of a cube, on the front part on the pale yellow background you can see Exquisit Biscuit assortment written and under it there’s a picture of many cookies that look really delicious. On the …
Ensure Nutrional Drink
The Ensure Nutritional Drink has been a great help on my life, I have been struggling so long to keep up my weight especially during my pregnancy. It has stabilized it and has help give me the daily nutrients. I had first heard about it during a doctors visit …
Muller Light Smooth Raspberry and Cranberry Yoghurt
I was going to write a great review for this Muller Light yoghurt until I realized it is not actually suitable for vegetarians so that will teach me not to check the ingredients. Muller Light generally contains gelatine and this raspberry and cranberry one I am reviewing contains …
Chunkee Chewy Peanut Butter Choco Chip Cookies
As a mom, I must always provide variety to my son’s snacks. So whenever I go to the grocery I pick out new cookies from time to time. One time I got a pack of Chunkee Chewy Peanut Butter Choco Chip. This is relatively more expensive than the other …
Drake’s Yodels
Drake’s Yodels are long and fat chocolate creme-filled cakes. They very much remind me of Hostess Ho-Hos in color, shape and flavor. On the outside, there’s s layer of chocolate frosting that goes all around the Yodel snack cake. The chocolate frosting has a mildly rich flavor to it. …
Food Club Ice Cream Sandwiches
I was in the mood for a frozen treat for dessert the other day and needed something everyone in my family would eat without spending too much money (I don’t get paid until next week and our bank account is getting a bit low).
After looking around the freezer section …
Quaker Instant Oatmeal
Except for the fact that it tastes like my niece’s baby food, it’s really good. There are different flavors like chocolate and banana and honey, but we buy chocolate flavor more often. The other flavor reminds me of the taste of bottled baby food, and it grosses me out. …
Bru coffee
The brand of coffee we use in our home is the Bru, which has excellent flavour and the taste. This is not an international or very famous brand of coffee, but it gives the real taste of coffee. I am not a coffee lover since the …
Campbell’s Super Bakes Garlic Chicken with Pasta
Our supper today was Campbell’s Super Bakes Garlic Chicken with Pasta. This is the first time I have bought this product, so today was the trial. Well, what can I say… It was a meal. Not bad, but nothing special, either.
The package includes pasta, a can of baking sauce, …
Grandma Rechek’s Potato Wedges
I mentioned in another review that I picked up a chicken dinner from Rechek’s Food Pride last night; the Grandma Rechek’s brand from their deli. To go with that chicken, I also picked up a container of their potato wedges.
There are a few places around town that sell potato …
Sara Lee Butter Pound Cake Family Size
I love eating strawberry shortcake, and even though I don’t know how to make the cake from scratch, I do know how to substitute one for a store bought cake. My main cake of choice: Sara Lee butter pound cake. People don’t really use pound cakes for strawberry shortcake, …
Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf
Recently, I tried something new from the Deli department. This was an already prepared item — Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf — so it comes ready to cook in a plastic tray. It was a 1 pound, two ounce serving, so it’s quite a lot. It’s …
Sprite Soda
During break time in school, me and my friends are always going on our school’s canteen to buy some snack for our merienda. We prefer buying some bread or crackers with matching a soda. Speaking of a soda, I am buying Sprite Soda. I still prefer drinking this drink …
Tito’s Homemade Vodka
I secretly don’t enjoy the taste of vodka all that much. I can drink it when it is mixed with something else, but my days of drinking straight vodka have long since passed. Yet when a friend brought me a bottle of Tito’s Homemade Vodka as a gift, I …
Nirapara iddli podi
I have tried Nirapara iddli podi, but I am not satisfied with this product. Because its quality is not good. I found some dust and mild stones in this mix. Even my hubby also got one stone while eating iddlis made by Nirapara iddli podi. Preparing idli with this …
Walmart Deli-Fresh Pizza
Since it is the only time we get to spend more than a couple of hours together as a family, my wife and I absolutely hate cooking big meals on the weekend. So, pizza is a very common thing for us; especially on Sundays.
This past Sunday, we decided that, …
Cadburys Flake Chocolate bar
Cadburys do make the most delicious chocolate and this is one of my favourites. It comes in a lovely yellow wrapper but you must be careful when you open it. Due to the fact that the chocolate is very brittle and flaky where its name comes from it is …
Lady’s Choice Spreads
Lady’s Choice offers sandwich spreads with different varieties like ham, tuna, bacon and chicken. The problem I am having with these products is that I cannot find the meat in it. On their TV commercials they say more meaty and more tasty which I don’t get because there does …
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes
I’ve eaten Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes since I was a little kid. My parents raised me on Kellogg’s cereal, and this one has always been my favorite. Whether Tony the Tiger had something to do with it, I don’t know, but the taste of the crunchy corn flakes …
Easy Pop Microwaveable Popcorn in Butterlicious Flavor
I love eating snacks while watching TV or movies. Sometimes I just grab a pack of cheese puffs but most of the time I love to cook microwaveable popcorn instead. I feel that the calories in plain butter popcorns are lesser than that of cheese snacks.
I walked around the …
Betty Crocker White Chip Macadamia Cookie Mix
Two words perfectly sum up fall for me: Bake Sale. I am not part of part of the PTA at my son’s school, but I do like to donate baked goods and other things they may need throughout the year. This baking session was one of the few I was …
Kettle Chips: New York Cheddar
Yum yum!! When I don’t want barbeque I so head for New York Cheddar. Most of the time. I love the tangy cheese that tastes like real sharp cheddar instead of the weird cheeselike orange powder one can find elsewhere. The chips are perfectly cooked too …
Asian Sensations Vegetable Egg Rolls (frozen foods)
Often when I am looking for a tasty appetizer to have at home, I’ll reach for some finger foods. I’m not much of a snacker. So chips and cookies aren’t really an option for me. In any event, I love Asian food, especially egg rolls. …
