Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino Coffee Drink
I’m not usually a fan of Starbucks Coffee but these little drinks are amazing. I bought a 9.5 ounce mocha flavored Frappuccino in my local gas station for around $2. I wasn’t expecting much considering my bad experiences with Starbucks products in the past.
However, I was pleasantly …
Nabisco Minto Oreo Fudge Cremes
I have always love the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies that come around once a year. I sold them as a Girl Scout, and I’m now 44 years old. These Mint Oreo Fudge Cremes are almost exactly like them, and now I can have them any time of the …
Gevalia Coffee
First of all, Gevalia does have a good product, at least most of it is and I love the free 12 cup coffemaker I received. I specially like the fact that I do not get an acid refulx from drinking it, but they sent out a special Christmas Coffee …
T. Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Apple Dip
I love the fall season, especially the Halloween holiday with bobbing for apples among friends and making candy and caramel apples for the kids. I just hate for this season to end because I enjoy eating the caramel apples the most. Recently while out doing grocery shopping for the …
Quaker Instant Oatmeal Fruit & Cream
I love oatmeal. It has so many health benefits that eating it is a plus. Oatmeal has whole grain, fiber and no cholesterol. When I was in Kroger, I notice the Quaker Instant Oatmeal Fruit & Cream. It comes in a multi-pack variety. The box …
Guiness beer
I have not tasted many brands of beer. However, one of the very few I have gotten to taste is a brand of beer called Guiness. I believe it is a beer which comes from either the UK or Ireland too. Nevertheless, I know that I have seen …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights (Cinnamon!)
I bought a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Cinnamon Swirl Cake on a whim, and it turned out to be a good move.
For a tasty sweet snack or dessert, this little cake is handy. It’s designed to be one serving, but it’s big enough to serve two …
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 …
San Remo Macaroni and Cheese (Instant)
Some would say I’m a Macaroni and Cheese freak. I’ve sampled just about all of Kraft’s different variants. For me, a good serving has a hint of sharp cheddar. When I saw that San Remo had their own little packet of instant mac and cheese, I just had …
Barber Foods Crème Brie and Apple Stuffed Chicken Breasts
The Barber Foods crème brie and apple stuffed chicken breast was another stuffed chicken breast I wanted to try. Crème brie and apples are up there as far as gourmet cooking go, and I really wanted to expand my tastes in food.
Just like the other Barber Foods stuffed chicken …
Goya Jack Mackerel in Brine
Recently I got the craving to make my grandmother’s old world fishburger recipe, which calls for a can of jack mackerel. However, after looking on the shelves of the two nearest supermarkets for the usual brand I buy, Chicken of the Sea, I couldn’t find any. The spot on …
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 …
Variegated Lemon Thyme
I bought one of these plants from a garden center a while back to mix in with my other herbs in the garden. It’s done wonderfully so far in zone 9a, in full sun with average full watering each day. It has very small leaves as does most Thyme, …
Kin Dee Instant Rice Noodles in Spicy Seafood
I love Thai food, but often do not have the time to make it. Usually I have bad results with cooking noodles, I either over or under cook. I decided to buy Kin Dee Instant Rice Noodles in Spicy Seafood, to use as a base for a Thai chicken …
Orv’s Special Deluxe Pizza
I think I mentioned once before that we had intended on having a 4th of July barbecue but, because of a few circumstances, ended up buying some frozen pizzas instead. One of the pizzas we ended up purchasing was a Special Deluxe Pizza from the brand Orv’s.
I normally don’t …
Starbucks Coffee Jelly
I just came from a very stressful trip just today coming here to the office. I just wish I would be able to forget about how stressed I was, not to mention bringing with me almost 3 kilos of baggage, my laptop included. Luckily I saw a Starbucks coffee …
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. …
Freschetta Supreme Pizza
Product description: Frozen pizza that promises 10 toppings and a thick crust. We found it on sale for about $6 the other day but it normally sells for around $8 in most of our stores.
What I liked about this product: Not much (more on that in a second). But, …
Island 62 Flavoured June Plum Water
I knew that these past couple of weeks had been frightfully not even though it’s not even summer as yet. However, I don’t think I ever really felt how hot it was until last week when I had some business to do on the road. I was so burnt …
San Mig Pro-Fiber coffee
San Miguel came up with a new of line of instant coffee dedicated to coffee drinkers who also want to lose weight at the same time. I have already reviewed San Mig Pro-Slim and this time I tried San Mig Pro-Fiber.
The theory is that in order to lose …
Beech Nut Let’s Grow Tummy Tray
My daughter is almost a year old, and since she is getting off her formula it is important to make sure the solid food she is going on still has the same nutritional value. Although the Gerber food is good, I don’t think it has enough Iron in it …
Milford Ingwer Pur, ginger tea
I really like ginger root. I always ad it to my food and also to the teas that I am making but ginger root can be very expensive and it does not last for a long time. Sometimes I buy it when it is not discount and it just goes …
America’s Best Butter Flavor Microwave Popcorn
Coming from the Jolly Time Company, America’s Best Butter Flavor Microwave Popcorn is a product that is grown without chemical pesticides. That’s the draw of this fairly new ‘green’ product. Per the packaging, it’s 94 percent fat free and it contains Better-Life Grains. There are no artificial …
Fudge Brownie Cookie Dough Bites
We were at the Dollar Tree the other day and my wife picked up one of those “movie boxes” of candy for $1. The candy, called Fudge Brownie Cookie Dough Bites, sounded tasty. However it turned out to be one of the most disgusting candies I’ve ever tried.
The little …
Nutricia Complan Rich Chocolate Flavour Drink
I noticed this drink in my local Boots, and I just had to try it. For me, it wasn’t for the fact that it claimed to have ‘all the goodness of a balanced light meal’, but the fact that it’s a rich chocolate drink. I don’t have much milk, …
Orbit Mist
I recently tried the new gum from Orbit called Mist. I love chewing gum. Especially when I am bored. So I have tried almost every gum on the market. I must say that this gum is at the top of …
Healthy Choice Country Vegetable Soup
This is a very flavorful, healthy and simple to make soup that makes for a terrific lunch or even midday snack. For one thing, this soup comes in a microwavable container and all I need to do is just stick this container in the microwave and set the time. …
Amy’s Split Pea Soup, Light in Sodium
I love Amy’s convenient natural meals. I think I have tried just about everything, well everything of their vegan line anyway. This was my first time trying the Amy’s Split Pea, light in sodium, Soup.
I really enjoyed the thick and flavorful taste of the soup. The …
Ferrero Collection Chocolates
Ferrero is one of my favorite chocolate along with Godiva. They have come up with a different style this time. I thought this was a different set of chocolates but it includes two previously released collection. The Ferrero Rocher chocolates, Ferrero Rondnoir dark chocolates and Ferrero Garden Coconut …
Banquet Chicken Nuggets Frozen Dinner
I’ve tried one or two Banquet frozen dinners over the past couple of years, and I always thought they were just okay. Given that they’re usually less than $2.00 per single-serving box, and when they’re on sale they’re about a dollar, I figured you get what you pay for …
Dilmah Ceylon Tea
I have tasted Ceylon tea before, but this was the first time we went to buy a Dilmah 100 tea bag pack. The aroma and flavour differs from other tea to some extent. Opening the pack leaves the fragrance of tea leaves and …
Gatorade
I live in a hot tropical country. It is very important to hydrate my body all the time especially during hot summer days. A good beverage to have is Gatorade. It is healthy and not bad for the body unlike sodas. This product has evolved over the years. It …
Cap’n Crunch cereal
I bought this Cap’n Crunch cereal on sale. This 350gram box of cereal boasts that it contains ‘O trans fat’, which I thought was a redeeming quality. The other thing I like was that this cereal contains no white flour, they make it with corn flour and oat flour.
There’s …
Pillsbury Toaster Scrambles
I’ll be honest. I only got these because they were free, after applying a pretty decent coupon to a store sale. But Pillsbury Scrambles are really pretty decent breakfast food.
The Scrambles consist of scrambled eggs and something else — I’ve had the bacon and the sausage ones so far …
Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws
These chocolate edible wafer straws are not at all bad. The chocolate flavor is not incredibly rich or flavorful - they are actually a bit on the mild side, although the mild flavor is still good. They are certainly crunchy though, and I definitely like that. Do these edible …
Arizona Diet Iced Tea
I have just switched my brand of diet iced tea, and I am pleasantly pleased. I had been buying Snapple, but didn’t feel like it really tasted like tea, more like soda pop. I tried Lipton, which was not much better. My daughter suggested in the …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
Del monte is very well known for their cooking products; they have since the start of their business have been very innovative and have been thinking about the needs of their customers - mostly mothers who cooks for their family (of course this involves more than the taste, but …
Quaker Chewy Granola Bars Chocolate Chip Flavor
Grocery shopping with kids can be very exhausting, especially when you have to deal with hungry kids while shopping. I usually buy them a snack while we shop to make it easier. I grabbed a box of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars in the chocolate chip variety. I used to …
Bolthouse Farms Parfait Breakfast Smoothies
I honestly can’t remember the last time I purchased a Bolthouse Farms smoothie drink, but when I recently purchased the strawberry and peach breakfast parfait smoothie it was because Publix had a buy one get one free sale going on. Also, because I work at a plant keeping hydrated …
Parade Cotton Candy
One of the bests things about carnivals and fairs is the cotton candy. I just love it to pieces. Unfortunately, I don’t get to attend those events often, which means enjoying cotton candy has been almost nonexistent. A few months ago, though, I saw an offering online …
Market Pantry Basil and Garlic Tomato Pasta Sauce
The Market Pantry Basil and Garlic Tomato Pasta Sauce is a product found exclusively at Target stores as it’s a store brand. Twenty-six ounces of pasta sauce comes in a jar. I decided to give this pasta sauce when it was on sale for one dollar in the hopes …
Brach’s Butterscotch Hard Candy
Having grown up as a life saver junkie, I tended to stay away from most other similar products and hard candies. Recently, though, I was given Brach’s Butterscotch Hard Candy and I sure did enjoy it.
Butterscotch, cinnamon, and peppermint are probably my two favorite flavors for life savers …
Arniston Bay Wine
I bought a bottle of red wine at the weekend, not really thinking about what kind I was getting. It’s —˜Arniston Bay’ and it was on a special offer at one of the major supermarkets, so I decided to give it a try. It tuned out to be …
Ainsley Harriott Asparagus & Leek Risotto
This is another gorgeous risotto dish from Ainsley Harriott’s brand. It is so convenient to make, difficult to get wrong actually, and it tastes amazing. This is a dried risotto mix that you can make on the hob or even in the microwave and I made mine …
Chicken/Meat Briyani
There are a lot of times that my friends and I would argue on the origins of Briyani. But I don’t really care that much because it is just so tasty and spicy! And there are different ethnic groups making this like their form of nice dish meal …
Martha White chese garlic biscuits
I made Martha White cheese garlic biscuits for dinner. This was the first time I had tried this product. I got it at the dollar general and thought that it looked like an interesting product to try. They are very easy to make and all you have …
Chocolate Sunbars Health Food
I am guilty of craving chocolate. I have certain times that I just seem to really want chocolate more than others. I end up snacking on high-sugar, high-fat chocolate candy bars. I did a survey on snack food eating habits. After the survey was done, I had a coupon …
Wibisco Shirley Ginger Biscuits
I recently started liking Shirley Biscuits even though I had not liked the taste of them and therefore had not eaten them for years. These “Shirley Biscuits” are little rectangular tea biscuits with a cute little design of a cottage in the middle of them. The original Shirley tea …
McVitie’s Digestives (Biscuits)
McVitie’s provides the best biscuits that I have ever eaten. Their Digestive biscuits will always be my favorite. Other biscuits are far too buttery and dry, but McVitie’s provides us with something different! Digestive biscuits are a wheat cookie that go great with tea. I love dipping them in …
Kennett Mushrooms
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 …
