Pizza Hut Viva Lasagna
Viva Lasagna is the newest offering from Pizza Hut. As you can guess from the name, it is combination of pizza and lasagna.
Actually, I think it is just a normal pizza with some lasagna strips on top. Kind of boring if you think of it that way, but it …
Little Debbie Chocolate Fudge Swirls
I do not care overly much for these Chocolate Fudge Swirls. The reason I do not care all that much for these swirls is because it is really just too much chocolate for me. Chocolate on the outside, chocolate on the inside., chocolate all around! Chocolate lovers will likely …
Tyson Chicken Breast
Tyson has some of the best chicken breasts on the market. They are always cut in to even pieces and each one is a fair portion. They even seem a little large to some but their chicken is low calorie and full of good vitamins. What makes them great …
Stouffers Thai Ginger Beef frozen dinner
I wanted a Chinese meal, but was too tired to cook, so I bought Stouffers Thai Ginger Beef dinner in a 250gram box. As always I looked for the Heart & Stroke Health Check sign, and it was right there on the box! I always try and watch what …
Skittles
Skittles are a type of candy that is very good in tasting. Istit is like tasting a rainbow.(like in the commercial) You can suck on them or chew. Both of these ways to eat them. By sucking on the you can make the bag last longer than chewing. On …
Ackee and Saltfish
“Ackee and Saltfish” is my country’s national dish. I am unsure of it being like any other dish in other countries hence I think it is unique to only my country. I was told that the ackee fruit originated from West Africa in the days when Africans were brought …
Quorn Peppered Steaks
I have been a vegetarian for many years now and although I do not miss meat in the slightest and I do not even see it as food anymore but —˜dead bodies’, I do sometimes lack the imagination to know how to put a well balanced vegetarian meal together. …
Alvita Caffeine Free Roasted Dandelion Root Tea Bags
When we got the Alvita Dandelion Root Tea Bags a little over two months ago from a relative, I was not very excited to try it since I did not get the impression that roasted dandelion root would make a good tea. In fact, the box sat in our …
Snapps Crispy Mozzarella Sticks
Snapps crispy mozzarella sticks was the second of the Snapps products I purchased at super Wal-Mart. I normally don’t venture outside Farm Rich mozzarella cheese sticks, but these were one dollar and I thought it was a good deal. I was wrong.
When I put the mozzarella cheese sticks on …
Banquet Cheesy Smothered Charboiled Patty Meal
While growing up and learning to live on my own budget, I used to purchase Banquet frozen dinners by the truckload sometimes because they were just so cheap and the taste wasn’t all that bad. But as the years went on, I soon moved onto other kinds of meals. …
Freschetta Thin Crust Chicken & Spinach Pizza
I mentioned in an earlier review that we bought a couple of pizzas from the Freschetta brand. I was unhappy with the first pizza, a so-called 10-topping pizza, but hoped I would enjoy the unique flavor of the other pizza we bought; a chicken and spinach pizza.
I was wrong …
Peppermints - Milk Chocolate from See’s Candies
Just about my all time favorite treat for decades has been from See’s Candies. It’s their peppermints, primarily the milk chocolate variety. They do have a dark chocolate, but I’ve never been a dark chocolate affectionado, for some reason.
The Milk Chocolate Peppermints really do satisfy me and …
Knorr Chicken Cubes
I’ve been using Knorr Chicken Cubes for years. My sister told me to add this into my vegetable dish and see for myself how my dish would come out. As I did it I noted it really made a peculiar difference. It gave the food additional savor. Since …
Pam Grilling Cooking Oil Spray
I have used regular Pam cooking oil spray for several years and have found it to be a very handy product though costly in terms of price per ounce of oil. When I found a three pack of Pam Grilling oil spray on sale for only $3.69, making …
Tiet Canh (Vietnamese Blood Jello)
Tiet Canh is a traditional Vietnamese delicacy. It is extremely hard to find in restaurant due to its undesirable texture and contents. Usually, the only place to have a taste of this dish is in a traditional Vietnamese household. There are several types of ingredient to this dish. The …
Great Value Mandarin Oranges
Great Value Mandarin Oranges are sold in a 15 oz metal can that needs to be open with a can-opener (no convenient ring-opener attached to the lid). Segments of mandarin oranges come in light syrup; they are medium sweet, not very different from the taste of a fresh, ripe …
Apple & Eve 100% Naturally Cranberry Juice
My favorite kind of juice to drink is cranberry, but I am very particular about the brand I like because each brand of cranberry juice has its own sweetness and tartness. I like my cranberry juice to by slightly sweet and a bit more tart and that is why …
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, …
Contessa Green Cuisine Meals
While I like the concept behind Contessa Green Cuisine meals; make a frozen food product while working to reduce pollution, I have to say I found myself unimpressed when I had one of the dinners last night.
I had the Chicken Stir Fry and it had zero taste. It was …
Alo Youth Aloe Vera Drink
I strode through the dirks section of the supermarket and searched for some drinks to help me cleanse my body and make it fit at the same time. Of course, I have tried a lot of drinks which were high in fiber and L-Carnitine for body slimming, yet the …
Valley View Garlic Mashed Potatoes
We had steak last night and, to go with it, made some garlic mashed potatoes from the brand Valley View; a brand I believe we ended up buying at our local Aldi store or some other discount grocer.
I have had other products from Valley View with some mixed results …
Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio Pistachio Ice Cream
I had bought a pint for only about $5 of Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio / Pistachio Ice Cream and this was a new flavour in our supermarket and I was very eager to try it out! I do love their flavours and there isn’t really a flavour that I …
Campbell Gourmet Bisques Golden Butternut Squash
When it comes to cooking, I like short cuts. Sometimes when I am pinched for time or just want to settle down with something easy and quick with little to no clean up, I tend to buy prepackaged meals, usually soup.
Campbell Gourmet Bisques Golden Butternut Squash is one …
Amy’s Organic Brown Rice and Vegetable Bowls with Tofu
I bought Amy’s Organic Brown Rice and Vegetable Bowls with Tofu on sale at my local Kroger grocery store for $3.44. The container is approximately ten ounces in size, more than enough for a hearty lunch for one person. I was drawn to the product because it is …
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice & Eggnog Lattes
The Pumpkin Spice and Eggnog Lattes are definitely the best seasonal coffees around. I love anything pumpkin flavored and thus had to try their pumpkin latte. It smells just like pumpkin pie and tastes just like pumpkin pie as well. There’s no need to add any …
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 …
Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cookie Mix
With many people recently jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon(myself included), there have been more gluten free options down the grocery aisles. If you’re gluten intolerent as well, you know that it’s not very easy to find foods that are gluten free and actually taste really good, especially if you’re …
Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda

Jollibee Palabok and Chicken
Today I had an amazing meal at Jollibee. Not that I hated or loved their meals but it was just today that I truly enjoyed the Palabok and Chicken Meal I had with this local fast food chain. Well of course I have had this but it is today …
Great Value Sliced Carrots
Great Value Sliced Carrots come in a 14.5 oz can. Thick round carrot pieces look very much like what is shown on the can; they come in water, with some added salt. It is rather difficult for me to comment on the taste because I personally can’t stand cooked …
Dr. Edwards sterilized drinking water
Dr. Edwards sterilized drinking water comes in bottles with different size. I choose this kind of bottled water because it is more safe and convenient. There are many illnesses that hit the world today, so I might safe guard my health through drinking very safe water.
I find the …
Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar
These Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar variety are much, much more tolerable than the downright hideous chocolate variety that I simply could not possibly stomach. While I did just say they are much, much more tolerable, I did not say they were excellent, or even great. The powdered sugar …
A & W Rootbeer
I love root beer! It is the only kind of soda I drink. I actually have only drank root beer for the last 10 years. Believe me, I have tried almost every brand of root beer there is and I always determine that A&W is simply the very best …
Hersey’s Kissables Candy Coated Mini Kisses
My brother bought this for me the day before yesterday, and that would have been the first time I have actually tasted this particular set of chocolates even though I have wanted to try them for a very long time.
The candy coated milk chocolates come in a small …

Batman Reese’s Pieces
As a tie in with the new Batman movie, Reese’s is making a new version of their Reese’s Pieces. I love the candy and I grabbed a small bag from the gas station recently without giving it much of a thought. I saw the Batman picture on the front, …
St. Louis Bread Company Smoked Ham and Swiss Cafe Sandwich
This is a classic American sandwich —“ ham and cheese (on mayo). Except I’m kind of on a diet phase right now so no added fats for me. I love going to Panera ever since I diverged from my routine of ordering just their soup bowl. …
Dairy Queen Milk Shake
I really adore a thick milk shake. When I was in high school, there was a local place that really made awesome shakes. Boy, do I miss it. For a long time, fast food places have had lousy shakes, using imitation ingredients to have beverages that …
Tai Pei Sweet and Sour Chicken
I am always on the look out for new and exciting lunch meals that I can enjoy on the go and quickly in order to fit in to my schedule. While strolling through the frozen foods section at the local Wal-Mart, I came across a card board container that …
Natural American Spirit cigarettes
Good or bad, I am a smoker that enjoys a good cigarette. For years, I smoked name-brands such as Marlboros and Camel products. Then one day, a friend passed me a cigarette I had never heard of. It was a “Natural American Spirit” non-filter. At first I thought it …
Tesco Twin Pack Supersweet Sweetcorn Cobs
If you have never had corn on the cob before then I must rave about how good it tastes, but these particular cobs - the Supersweet ones from Tesco - are particularly good as they are lovely and sweet. Yesterday at the supermarket I actually picked up two …
M&M’s Milk Chocolate Chocolate Candies
There’s something about the smell of M&M’s Milk Chocolate Chocolate Candies that gets your attention right away. I’ve grown up eating these candy treats, so that’s decades worth of experience. The taste is consistently good, something helped out by the milk chocolate ingredient.
M&M’s Milk Chocolate Chocolate Candies …
Giant Chewy Sweetarts
One of my roommates in college really loved the chewy sweetarts but she especially loved the sour ones. I never really liked sour candy and the smell alone was enough to drive me crazy. I never really liked the candy at all, but I was kind of intrigued when …
Quakers Cereal Bar: Apple Crisp
I was on the go the day I grabbed this particular cereal bar. I wanted to put something on my stomach to break my fast, before starting my day. I’m usually not a fan to the whole soft bar scene, but I decided to give it shot. The only …
BSN Syntha-6 protein powder
BSN Syntha-6 protein powder is one thing that I have included in my diet for at least six months now. This protein powder is amazing. It comes in a variety of different flavors and sizes. It is not like every protein powder. It is different because it is more …
Smart Ones - Chicken Enchiladas Suiza
The Smart Ones - Chicken Enchiladas Suiza is a good little lunch for the money. You can usually find it at Walmart where I live for under $2.00. I just ate one for lunch today, as a matter of fact.
Pros: This is a tasty lunch. …
Count Chocula energy drink
Count Chocula energy drink is an energy drink based on the hugely popular Count Chocula cereal. It is a chocolate energy drink and is quite similar in taste to the Mars energy drinks, or a regular chocolate milk shake. I decided to try one the other day, as the …
Great Value: Steamable Mixed Garden Medley
Great Value: Steamable Mixed Garden Medley is not exactly my favorite of the frozen vegetable line by Walmart, but it most certainly is something different to have every now and then. What is included in the medley? Well, there is red peppers and there is also roasted red potatoes …
