My first experience with Finlandia vodka took place during a wild party in my usually rather not-crazy student years. As far as alcohol goes, I’m fairly non-adventurous, but that time, I took a risk and I enjoyed myself immensely. Since then, I’ve sampled most of the vodka flavours Finlandia …

When I visited the USA I always used to buy my favourite vanilla ice cream there because they never used to import it yet (they do now) plus I can make ice cream that matches that particular brand. Anyway, on to ice cream sauces. There are always a variety …

Trying out Burgers at Burger machine is really easy; they are almost available in most common places where there are big places for a stall along highways and main roads around metro manila. I remember having been able to try some of their offerings and burger meals since there …

Almond milk is a wonderful substitute to have in place of traditional dairy milk. In many respects, it’s a healthier, albeit a little pricier, alternative, that’s great to have if one doesn’t mind the somewhat nutty taste that it has. It is made from almonds after all, so it’s …

Hamburger Helper is a skillet dinner mix that is produced by the Betty Crocker Company. Available in a variety of flavors, Hamburger Helper is a convenience food that helps even the most inexperienced or reluctant cook to get a “homecooked” meal on the …

Most of us must have probably tried at least once the Halo Halo Fiesta of Chowking restaurant. Not that there is something special about it, honestly it is even more of an ordinary Filipino treat common even in the streets. Yes, this sweet dessert is available in most corners …

State Fair Brand: Beef Corn Dogs are really very tasty. I love corn dogs and find them to be superior to hot dogs, so I always try to keep my freezer stocked with a box of these tasty treats. I try not to eat them too often though because …

I had been a fan of Svedka Vodka for a few years, because once I discovered it I was mad that I had not discovered it earlier and saved some money—”Absolut was my drink of choice beforehand and in my opinion it is not nearly as good despite being …

I actually bought Chunky’s Beef & Potato Soup by accident. They had several varieties on sale and I thought I was picking up a different kind. In fact, when I got it home, I was so disappointed; I ended up putting it toward the back of our pantry.
Today, I …

I think King’s Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream lacks the sweet, sour taste of raspberry. It seems like a normal vanilla ice cream with some red-colored sauce. The sauce is sweet, of course, but the sweetness does not seem to come from the raspberry. The sweetness seems very …

As devoted fan of Italian kitchen, I adore Drogheria & Alimentari spices of all kind. However, All Natural Spice Grinder Four Season Peppercorns is one of my favorites. It comes in a cute, designer glass jar with built-in grinder cap. All the black, white, green peppercorns and red berries …

Leslie’s Products have been popular in the country now for quite sometime. I remember still enjoying a pack of clover chips at school, or even at home watching tv. Their flavor is unique and they even made smaller packs of chips sold only at one(1)peso per pack! Yes, this …

I just did another review for Pizza Hut WingStreet Wings, a product I’d just purchased for the first time. I really don’t know why I decided to buy the chicken, but I suspect a part of it was seeing these Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries advertised on their …

Any mushroom lover is bound to be a fan of Kennett Square, PA. Kennett is an older, more rustic town that is famous world-wide for its mushroom farms, and many recipes that utilize those mouth-watering mushrooms! The way I see it, if a town is going to …

After hearing so many good things about 5-hour Energy drink, I thought I would give it a try for myself.
The first things advertised are an hour five to be exact of energy without having a crash, this drink is sugar free, and only has four calories.
I bought …

Tropical Punch is a flavored water drink from hint and it is one that I do not particularly care for. The reason I was not really satisfied with this flavored water is because I did not care for the tropical fruit flavors that were infused with the water. I …

Whether early in the morning for breakfast, mid-day or at night, this is one of the better cereals off the shelf. It’s Nice & Crunchy. I can’t decide which is better…the crunchy flakes or the taste of honey that is so pronounced you can’t miss. It doesn’t matter if …

I went to the Limketkai mall in Cagayan to stroll and have lunch with my husband. I was looking for a Mexican infusion cuisine. I saw the Moon Restaurant on the Ground Floor of the Limketkai Mall. There are different Mexican dishes to choose from, but I chose their …

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 …

When I began this review it was simply that of Morning Star Mini Corn Dogs. As I got into the review process I found that I could not review Morning Star without comparing it to my old favorite Mini Corn Dogs from Foster Farms.
Morning Star brand offers a variety …

I enjoy homemade macaroni and cheese, but have absolutely no use for the boxed variety. Recently, I bought some Chef Boyardee Minis Macaroni and Cheese on clearance sale at my local supermarket. I really had no idea what to expect, but each 212gram tub was only $1 so I …

Sometimes I want chicken, but don’t want the hassle of cooking it. Cooking chicken can be a pain. It takes a long time and often more effort than I’d like to expend. If I want to make chicken cutlets, I have to cut them, mix the …

I often use this product when I am making spaghetti and other dishes but instead of me using a real meat pork mince I decided to use this one instead. I learned about this product when a friend of mine mentions this to me one time. Since …

Blue Bunny King Size Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream Bar is an enjoyable treat to have, although I would not say it is one of my favorites. What I do like about this ice cream bar is that both the vanilla and chocolate flavors are relatively rich and delightful. …

I can’t find Racine Raspberry Danish Kringles at any of our local stores and, as a result, the first time I actually had an opportunity to try this particular product was when I ordered it through our daughter’s school fundraiser last spring. Well, actually, to be more accurate, we …

Walmart’s brand, Great Value, makes many generic alternatives in almost any category. Last week I purchased a powdered drink mix made by (or distributed by) Walmart, made to be similar to name brand “Crystal Light.” It is sugar free, sweetened with aspartame, and has five calories per serving.
I wasn’t …

I know that we all just love McDonald’s, but I think that it is really great that they have a summer promotion going on now where you can get any size soda or sweet tea for just a $1.00. It is super inexpensive, and I am sure it drives …

Over the past year, I’ve often enjoyed the Sourdough Jack Sandwich which is part of the Jack in the Box fast food menu. I figured it was about time to review the food product here. Sometimes I hesitate to do reviews for fast food items because they …

Nestle products are very famous and popular and almost everybody is fond of nestle products. Out of nestle products, smarties are the best, in my opinion. Smarties are chocolates and very tasty. I have enjoyed these brand of chocolates to a large extent. Smarties can be found in …

I get great deals on Facebook for O’Charley’s appetizers. It’s not one dollar or two dollars or even %50 off of an appetizer—¦ I get an appetizer for FREE! All I need to do is buy an entrée at regular price and I get an appetizer (at …

We were staying in Florida recently with family, and decided to go out for a meal one evening. As there were several young kids in our household, we decided that pancakes would be a popular choice. That was great with me, as pancakes are amongst my favourite …

I made chili last night and realized I was out of kidney beans. Since my parents were actually closer than the store was, I figured I would just stop by their house and borrow a couple cans.
They had the brand Happy Harvest; a cheaper brand I know they buy …

Dempster’s 100% Whole Wheat Bread is one of the many breads out there that you can use to make sandwiches.
What I like about this bread is that is it extremely soft and does not develop mold for a comparitively long time. I also like the fact that it is …

This sauce is a mild sweet sauce with a hint of citrus at the end. It is not super thick, therefore it will not turn into a glob on your meat. It is also not thin enough to run off and burn up. I it adds a very nice …

Ice cream is by far one of my favorite desserts, ever since I was a child there has never been a flavor that I did not like. That is until, I tried Blue Bells’ Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla flavor. I was disappointed when I tried this flavor, especially because …

Smart Ones has been providing low-calorie diet entrees and desserts for years. However, I just recently discovered their Breakfast Sandwiches and fell in love with the great taste and low calorie count. They have several breakfast offerings including: Egg, Cheese, and Canadian Bacon on an English muffin or egg …

I kind of like these nutri-grain bars, but they are not perfect. First off, they are somewhat healthy: there is little fat and sodium and there is no trans fat to be found, plus cholesterol is not something that is included, either. Although there is sugar in these. The …

Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits are delicious and quite large, too! I have three with my dinner once a week and boy do they ever add the meal! I alternate between these three varieties: Buttermilk, Butter Tastin’ and Flaky Layers. The Buttermilk Grands are so soft and flavorful, the Butter …

This is an off-brand of Texas Toast that I’ve only found at ALDI. There is nothing that sets this Texas Toast apart from the national brand Texas Toast except for the price. It sells for just a dollar sixty-four for eight slices in a box. I haven’t found Texas …

I find Entenmann’s All Butter Loaf Cake to be a decent treat to have with my breakfast every now and then. There is nothing really incredibly special about this loaf cake, although I feel that it offers a decent enough flavor to have once or twice a week, sometimes. …

Since I was trying to finish up my Christmas shopping over lunch, I needed something to eat that would be quick but filling. I wasn’t doing my shopping at Wal-mart, but since it was close, I opted to visit their deli.
Overall, in terms of price, Walmart’s Chicken Tenders are …

Safeway Select Vodka Pasta Sauce is really awesome. It has the best flavor of all the vodka sauces I have tried. I am ashamed to admit that this wonderful sauce took me so long to discover. The reason it took so long for me to discover …

This 2004 California wine really packs a punch! This Pinot Noir is not bitter to the taste, but has a very high alcohol content for a red wine (13.5%). I suppose that is why it’s cheaper. At any rate, the wine has a sweet but woody …

Blue Bunny Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae Crunch Bar is a decent frozen treat that could have been better, but is unfortunately held back by a few problems, in my opinion. First of all, the vanilla ice cream used in this treat is not all that rich or noticeable. It …

Ice cream has gotten really expensive and many of the brands have reduced the size of the container, yet still charge the old price. Since we have been shopping at the new Super-Wal-Mart that opened in the community I have been trying out their generic brands with the label …
