I do enjoy a curry, I like to cook them and I like to go out and have one as well but if I did that all the time then I would be out of pocket and probably very overweight. I suppose this is why it’s so great that …

I am not usually a big fan of puto (Filipino rice cake). However I have tried a lot of puto snacks from different bakeshops. Yes, I would eat them but it has certainly not become my favorite. One day when my husband craved for some rice cake, he insisted …

Vermont Maid Syrup is expensive and it is also not really spectacular in any sense of the word. The syrup has a decent flavor to it, although it is not as rich and delicious as the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s. The syrup is relatively thick, …

Described as “crisp, freshly prepared tortilla chips covered in warm nacho cheese sauce,” Taco Bell Cheesy Nachos are pretty good to snack on. Now it’s important not to confuse this food product with Taco Bells traditional nachos that have been available for years.
Unlike the old school version of …

This Pasta Side proved to be a little disappointing because Knorr was pretty chintzy on the broccoli! The picture on the package is a pretty accurate depiction of just how small the pieces of broccoli actually are and because the broccoli is so small, it’s pretty easy for it …

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 …

I am no stranger to the brand Izze. As a person who is trying to set aside soda, Izze sparkling beverages are life savers. Which is how I came to try Izze Sparkling Clementine. As you can imagine, I was not hesitant in grabbing a few of bottles.

BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …

The picture on the box that the Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice came in sure looked mighty appetizing. Large pieces of chicken, assorted vegetables and white rice all decorated the box. One fourteen point two ounce box cost three dollars, a price that I considered to be okay as …

A friend of mine came for a visit from the USA and she brought with her a very fancy looking package of chocolate chip cookies. On the package it said they are premium gourmet cookies. I had never seen this brand of cookies before so I hurriedly opened the …

While nothing can really come close to homemade ginger cookies, these ginger cookies from Kroger aren’t half bad. They are a little harder than I’m used to as the ones that come homemade are a bit on the softer side, but the harder texture isn’t a problem for me. …

These chives from the Tesco range of seasonings are really rather good. A lot of people are turned off by jars of seasonings, especially dried stuff, and the rise in organic food and grow your own has no doubt turned people off this simple alternative, but don’t let that …

I like these Bagel Bites. I have liked them for years, really. The three cheese variety is quite good, with the cheddar, mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses mixed in with sauce and sitting on top of a bagel. I do wish that the bagel was crispier, but then again, …
