Gourmet Dining Seafood Medley with Alfredo Sauce
We have recently tried Gourmet Dining Seafood Medley with Alfredo Sauce, so let me review it while everything is still fresh in my memory.
We bought the 2 lb package of this seafood medley in the frozen food section of Walmart. The mix contains shrimps, scallops, pieces of imitation crab …
Country Kitchens Syrup LIte
This breakfast syrup product is definitely not worth trying. I bought some by mistake because the label on front had a sticker on it that hid the word “Lite”. I had been buying the company’s (Pinnacle foods group) regular County Kitchens syrup for some time and was happy with …
Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar and Jalapeno Flavor (8 OZ)
I recently bought a big 8 OZ bag of Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar and Jalapeno flavored Cheese snack in the supermarket for about $3 (Php 150). I have been craving Cheetos to snack on while watching TV or as a midnight snack. For $3 (about Php150), this is really a …
Amy’s Organic Salsa Medium
I was looking around a newly opened “Organics” store at a mall a week ago and this has caught my eye. I’ve been having this hankering for yummy salsa so I picked up a jar instead of the organic potato chips they were selling. I’m not usually one of …
Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins
There is not a great deal of flavor to be found inside these Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins. The blueberry flavor is not quite as rich as the non-one calorie muffins, and those did not even have a real rich blueberry flavor to begin with! While there is …
Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf
For Christmas this year, we went an easier, more simplified route, prompted actually by trying to buy turkey a little too late in the week. Live and learn! Anyway, we ended up purchasing the ‘Homestyle Meatloaf’, a pre-packaged product under the ‘Fresh Deli’ label of Raley’s. The …

Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix
My sister knows I love to bake, the very reason why she sent me a few packets of Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix. Of course, it was one of those mixes (again) for the lazy - the instant ones. The instructions show that I only need 1/3 cup of …
Walkers Nonsuch Olde English Royal Toffee
I did not actually buy this myself, but received it along with other toffees which someone gave me recently. I was planning to give them away at first since I am not as big a fan of most toffees since I find them too sweet for my liking. However, …

Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Baseball Fastball Snowballs is your typical snowball treat that consists of chocolate, marshmallow and coconut.

Dezato Cafe’s Mochi Balls Ice Cream

Healthy Choice Tomato Basil Penne
I bought this entrée because the description sounded wholesome and fresh —“ nine-grain pasta with tomatoes, onions, basil, and mozzarella cheese flavored with olive oil. The calorie count is very low (under 300) and you get a third of the recommended dietary fiber by eating it. It’s …
Regent’s Cheese Ring
I am a real cheese addict. I have reviewed my favorite roller coaster snack, now I can compare and contrast it with this one. It is produced by Universal Robina while this one is by Regent. They are both made tasty like real cheese. The first major difference is …

Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Five Cheese
I don’t care what brand I try, be it Pepperidge Farm, New York Style, Mama Cozzi’s, whatever, they all offer a five cheese Texas Toast and they all stink. When something reads “Five Cheese”, I personally think I’m in for something that’s going to be super cheesy, rich in …

Royal Korean Kimchi Chocolate
I got this as a present from Korea. It was the first time I ever heard of such a thing as Kimchi chocolate, and I was excited to try it out. I loved kimchi and Korean food, but wasn’t so sure if kimchi was a good mix …
Monaco Biscuits
Monaco biscuits are nice, gentle salty in taste They are crispy, and crunchy, and their taste is unique. That’s why I like them. There are not many biscuits that are salty in the market, mostly you have sweet biscuits, particularly chocolate flavored, so Monaco stands apart fro their different …

Fit & Active Pepperoni Pizza Lean Stuffed Sandwich
I knew I might not like this frozen stuffed sandwich because of it being “lean”, but I was willing to give it a try for a dollar seventy-eight. Unfortunately, my concerns turned out to be justified as this stuffed sandwich just came across as being pretty bland to me …
Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice - some pulp
I have to say, after trying so many different brands of orange juices, this is definitely the best tasting, most natural brand and my go to brand. It seems to run a little but pricier than other brands of orange juice in the store, however there are often …
Sunkist California Pistachios
I bought Sunkist California Pistachios when they were on sale, and still they were a bit expensive, almost $5 for a 14 oz plastic container. For some reason, pistachios are always more pricy than peanuts. Still, once in a while I treat myself to them. Sunkist pistachios are dry …

Vegan chocolate in Europe
I’m a huge chocolate fan and I’ve estimated that I consume about 15 kilos of chocolate a year, which sounds insane, but it’s not that bad if you divide it by 365 days. People say there’re benefits to eating chocolate on a daily basis and I like to believe that, …
Ice Breakers Iced Tea Lemon Mints (Sugar Free)
I love mints; I think they are a very good substitution for gum and in some cases, they actually may do the freshening job better then chewing gum. Usually I impulse buy a pack of mints at the grocery store checkout line, and sometimes the ones I pick out …

We had barbecue for dinner last night and one of the side dishes we ended up making was green beans from the brand Wylwood.

Goodah! Beef Pares
