Stouffer’s Cheese Manicotti
Stouffer’s Cheese Manicotti is a very enjoyable cheesy pasta meal that I like to have a couple of times a month. Although there is technically more cheese and sauce than noodles, I nonetheless find the triple flavor combination to be scrumptious and satisfying. The three cheeses offer up a …
Cousin’s Chili
I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.
But, I tried their chili last night and have to say I wasn’t very impressed with it.
I picked it up looking for something warm to …
Tofuking Northern Tofu
Since I decided to convert to be a vegetarian having a tofu in almost all of my dishes at home makes my cooking even more appealing most especially that I particularly make lots of dishes that need tofu on it as a good substitute for a red meat or …
Stouffer’s Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta
Stouffer’s Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta is something that I have been wanting to try for a couple of weeks now, although once I finally did make time to sit down and have it, I was greeted with disappointment. This meal is mess, really. The chicken is fine - I …
Entenmann’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Buns
I find Entenmann’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Buns to be a fairly delightful treat to have, especially when the buns have been warmed up in the microwave and are nice and warm. Yum! That is the way to maximize flavor, in my opinion. The raisin flavor is quite prominent and …
Ice Creams of Scoopery
Scoopery is a small booth which sells only ice creams and is located in the upper ground floor of SM City Fairview. They also have other branches in other places, but usually in malls. The booth itself is just small and simple, and with only one …
Witor’s Cuor di Mousse Yogurt, chocolate pralines
When I think of Witor’s brand first thing that comes to my mind are mini chocolate Christmas eggs. I have tried so many mini chocolate eggs but theirs are really one of the best, especially because they come at a very good price. So when the other day at my …
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are awesome treats to enjoy. What a great idea it was to combine chocolate and peanut butter into this yummy little snack cups. The commercials used to promote them early on were great, too. Back then, someone would be walking with chocolate …
Breyers Cherry Vanilla
Breyers Cherry Vanilla is both a pleasurable experience and a disappointing experience. By that, I mean one flavor real excels and tastes delicious while the other flavor really comes up short and leaves my taste buds wondering just what happened. Had both flavors been exceptionally good, this ice cream …
Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese: Original flavor
I’m what you would call a loyal user of the brand of Betty Crocker. Usually I go for the cake mixes and hamburger helper kits but this time around I had the opportunity to their brand of Mac and cheese. I found it interesting that they would have a …
Heinz Tomato Soup
I’ve grown up in the UK, and it’s been instilled in me from a young age that Heinz soups are the best! Heinz prides itself on its high quality and natural ingredients, and this tends to be reflected in its prices.
The famous adverts that used to show …
Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This ice cream by Ben and Jerry’s sounded delectable. Normally I find regular cheesecake very rich, and I figured it would be even more so as an ice cream. Still, I wanted to try it. I love the way Ben and Jerry’s makes their ice cream, and I really …
Butter Ball Turkey
Like most American families we traditionally purchase a turkey at least once a year. I’m not sure of how we decided but for our family we eat turkey every Thanksgiving and Ham for Christmas. We have tried most brands of turkey available in our local supermarket but my personal …
Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla
The Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla come in a four pack for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Although that works out to be about fifty cents per pudding cup, I don’t think these pudding cups are worth even that. Although I’m quite fond of vanilla, I don’t think …
Del Monte Pasta Italiana
Del Monte Pasta Italiana
Of all the local brands of Pasta I have only one brand to trust. It is Del Monte Pasta Italiana. I have tried many other local brands but I always go back to Del Monte. I could remember how a cheaper brand that …
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Pillsbury Crescent rolls are a staple in my house. They are easy to cook, require very little mess, and are done in a matter of minutes. I love that I can just take a can of these out of the refrigerator and in 10 minutes have flakey rolls …
Great Value Apple Juice
Just to make a difference, I purchased an apple drink one time when I shopped for food at SM Hypermarket, SM Makati Philippines. My family gets used to drinking soft drinks and Iced Tea; sometimes if there are fruit juices we drink it too. Sometimes we only drink cold …
Maggi Magic Sarap
I am using Maggi Magic Sarap whenever I’m cooking our food. I can use it in cooking vegetables, soups, fishes, chicken, etc. You can use this to any of you favorite dishes to add flavor and taste to it. I have been using this for almost …
Morrisons Brioche Bread Loaf
I bought this Brioche Loaf without really knowing what Brioche bread was and when I got home and attempted to make cheese sandwiches out of it I really thought I had got it wrong! I did not think it went with the cheese at all and that the …
Florida’s Natural Premium Orange Mango Juice
This is really the only juice product put out by the Florida’s Natural company that I didn’t care for very much. The reason I was somewhat disappointed with this fruit juice is because I simply couldn’t taste hardly any mango in the juice. It was almost like I was …
Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme
I’m one of those people that tears at my cuticles. I work with paper a lot, so they getdry and ragged, and I’m twitchy anyway. Thsi means that dry ragged cuticles are almost irresistible for me to bite at and do other ugly nasty things to. …
All Natural Snapple Raspberry Ice Tea
Lately I have been drinking the All Natural Snapple Raspberry Tea and I have to say it taste delightful. The flavor of this ice tea taste just like freshly brewed ice tea with red ripped raspberries tossed into it. I find the drink to be very refreshing and healthier …

Pomelo Fruit Produced in Davao
As a kid I never liked the Pomelo fruit. My dad’s side of the family had a farm with a plantation of Pomelo so when we were kids so we always had an ample supply of the fruit. But what I have tasted from the farm was bitter. That’s …
Borden American Cheese Slices
We go through a lot of American Cheese slices in our house. They are one of the few things our daughter will eat and we use them for everything from sandwiches to scrambled eggs.
Normally, we try to buy the cheaper brands of cheese in an effort to save money. …
Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares
We received a lovely Christmas present of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares. Ghirardelli, based in California, makes some of the best chocolate in the world. The Dark Chocolate Squares are small and thin, rather like wafers than a bar of chocolate. Dark Chocolate Squares contain 60% cocoa and are a …
Sorrento Cheese Sticksters
I’ve always enjoyed Sorrento’s many fine cheese products both in cooking and simply as a healthy and quick snack. Recently I tried their “Sticksters” cheese for kids (although grown ups can eat it too!). It is along the same idea as the stringsters type of cheese but the sticksters …
Breyers Cookies & Cream Oreo
I was disappointed with Breyers Cookies & Cream Oreo ice cream. What dragged this ice cream down in my eyes was the lack of Oreo cookie pieces. I didn’t think the ice cream contained enough pieces of Oreo cookie to justify the price tag of nearly three dollars and …
Deli Pride Fish & Cheese Sandwich
I went home for lunch today and decided to raid the freezer again and make a quick meal using a Deli Pride Fish & Cheese Sandwich I had purchased from Save-a-Lot a few days ago.
I wasn’t expecting too much from this 99 cent lunch. And, to be perfectly honest, …
Bluewave Breaded Popcorn Shrimp
Product Description: Box of frozen breaded popcorn shrimp available at most stores for around $2 per box.
What I liked about this product: One of the biggest reasons why I picked this particular brand is it gave me a few more cooking options than some of the others that were …
Tango Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts
While looking through the snack section at the grocery store I was trying to figure out which chocolate I’d like to have today. I then came across a new brand of chocolate. Medium sized, reasonably priced and attractive packaging. The light sky blue colour and the bright hazelnuts against …
Great Value Golden Creme Cakes
The Great Value Golden Creme Cakes are modeled after the Hostess Twinkies. Ten come in a package for around two dollars and twenty cents. The Great Value brand is a Walmart brand, so these cakes can only be found at Walmart stores. Just by looking at one of these …
Warm Delights
Since trying the Betty Crocker Warm Delights that first time, I’d have to say our family has gone through about 20 so far! And my hubby and kids are picky when it comes to baked treats!
These little ‘Warm Delights’ are just that! Warm delights! lol
And so easy to make …
7up Soft Drink
Although I generally don’t find myself choosing 7up as a first or even second option when I’m buying soda, there is still that rare moment over a period of time when I’ll crave one. The reason why I don’t necessarily crave 7up a lot is because first of all, …
Honey Bun - Cinnamon Roll
As a product of Jamaica, the company label Honey Bun which produces the ‘microwave me’ Cinnamon Roll did a very good job, but to me, it was a little too late as I discovered the microwave method long before they have placed it on their label. LOL. But as …
Hawaiian Original Kettle Style Chips
Hawaiian Original Kettle Style Chips are chips that are best suited for those that are worried about all the salt that is packed together on the surface of each chip. This particular variety of potato chip goes lighter on the salt than most potato chips that I have tasted …
Teh Tarik
Teh Tarik is a local specialty in my area and some other few parts in Asia. It is actually like a form of tea also, and the taste is very tea; but more stronger with a more mixture of milk and the type of tea brand must be really …
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger is a homemade skillet meal kit that includes pasta, sauce mix, and toping mix; additional 1 lb of hamburger meat is required. The cooking process is rather long, it is definitely not one of those “heat & eat” packages. First, you fry hamburger …
McDonald’s McRib
I really enjoy eating the McDonald’s McRib everytime I go to Mickey D’s. I was very happy to hear they were bring back this sandwich to the public. This sandwich is very tasty and very cheap. The price is very low so it’s easy to afford. Also I really like …
Century Corned Tuna
One of my favorite canned product is Century Tuna brand. This product comes in different varieties. One can choose from Century Tuna Afritada Style, Adobo Style, Century Tuna Flakes in Vegetable Oil, Flaked Light Tuna in Soya Oil, Corned Tuna and more. I have tried almost all the varieties …
Pizza Hut Thin Crust Pizza
I was literally quite shocked when I tried Pizza Hut’s thin crust pizza. I think prior to trying the thin crust pizza, I had only experienced the pan pizza that Pizza Hut makes, which is quite heavy and at times, overly filling. The thin crust pizza, however, …
Topraman noodles
The Top Raman noodles are the kind of noodles, which come with the tastemaker. I had seen the Top Raman noodles in my cousin’s house one day. She prepared the noodles of this brand once and served it to my husband and me. My husband and …
Prawn Patties
I love the delicious taste of Prawn Patties. Just in case you do not know what this delicious snack is, it is actually patties stuffed with prawns and it’s best to eat especially if it’s dipped with breadcrumbs and cornflour.
The dipping sauce can be anything from chili sauce right …
Krusteaz Lemon Bar Mix
Krusteaz Lemon Bar Mix produces some pretty scrumptious lemon bars! The lemon flavor is intensely sweet, terrifically tangy and oh so moist! Each bite I take energies my taste buds and really sets them ablaze. This lemon flavor will definitely not go unnoticed! I also really like how soft …
Roast beef sandwich from Safeway
Safeway stores has another in its selection of very good sandwiches. The sandwich is roast beef with crumbles of bleu cheese with lettuce and tomatos on focaccio bread. It is delicious. Bleu cheese isn’t a cheese I’d normally expect with roast beast, but it’s delicious.
I had this sandwich recently …
Dairy Queens French Silk Pie
I love going to Dairy Queen and getting a treat once in a while. This weekend I decided to try the French Silk Pie blizzard and I am so glad that I did. It was delicious.
I ordered the medium size one, and it filled me up. …
Carte D’or Triple Chocolate
I like ice creams but not all of them, so I prefer buying a little bit more expensive ones, and I must admit that all Carte d’Or ice creams taste great, that tastes really good than those cheap ones that taste like frozen milk with a lot of sugar …
Bernatello’s Ham & Cheese Bernie’s Bites
Product Description: Box of 12 breaded bites filled with pieces of ham and Swiss cheese. I found these at one of our local grocery store for $2.50 a couple days ago and made them as a mid-afternoon snack for my wife and me yesterday.
