Freschetta Canadian Style Bacon & Pineapple Pizza
I have been looking for a good frozen Hawaiian pizza for some time. Hawaiian pizza (with ham & pineapple toppings) is one of my favorites, and I know a couple of pizza places that cook it very well, but I wanted to be able to make it at home, …
Teekanne Fruit kiss
I really like Teekanne teas because they all have very original and very nice flavor. Teekanne is a German brand of tea and it is not very easy to find it, only a few shops I know have this tea so I always buy more of them when I …
Dabour Hajmola candies
One first February we celebrated our son’s birthday. He is just four years old. My son loves to celebrate his birthday along with his friends and schoolmates. That is why I bought the big cake, new dress for him and I also bought some candies to …
Bigelow Decaffeinated Green Tea
So, lately I have been looking for a naturally decaffeinated green tea without chemicals in it and I came across Bigelow Decaffeinated Green Tea. It actually is natural decaffeinating meaning the company did not use chemicals or some kind of heavy processing of some sort to remove the caffeine …
Pillsbury Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Chips
I decided to give Pillsbury Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Chips a try one evening when having a cookie craving. My mother had a packet of these cookies stocked in the refrigerator since she absolutely is a cookie monster and of course loves pumpkin.
This package of cookies come with …
Mrs. Freshley’s Old Fashioned Brownie
Here is yet another brownie from Mrs. Freshley’s that I simply did not find all that remarkable or satisfying at all. Mrs. Freshley’s Old Fashioned Brownie is a little different from the other brownies made by the company, but I must stress the word “little”. I really do not …
Nutriblend Coffee Mix
I love coffee but with all the commotion about its effects and its benefits I began to doubt if drinking coffee is good for me since so many articles have come out and say that coffee is not good for you then other articles would come out and say …
Brunswick Sardines
With my busy schedules each day, I seldom get the chance to go around shopping for groceries. I just have to buy one week’s supply over the weekend.
One item I would never forget to buy is …
Bearbrand Probiotics
Bearbrand probiotic drink is a Nestle product, a food company known for its worldwide popularity in manufacturing milk, cornflakes and baby food products. This is the latest innovation in the food industry aimed to provide a healthier digestion for all consumers.
Since I am a loyal Nestle customer and a …
General Mills Golden Grahams Cereal
I always used to love Golden Grahams when I was younger. This was probably one of my favorite cereals, because General Mills took the concept of graham crackers and put them in a cereal. I don’t know of any other cereal company that uses graham crackers in their cereal. …
Schogetten Praline Noisettes chocolates
I am quite a fan of the Schogetten range of chocolate, which is easily available, at least in most of Europe, from Aldi and Lidl stores. In my case I tend to go to Aldi, but that is simply because it is the closer of the two to where …
Brakebush Popcorn Chicken
My daughter loves popcorn chicken. But, it’s expensive to keep buying it from the deli so we looked for some we could make ourselves. The brand we settled on was Brakebush. And, while the Brakebush frozen popcorn chicken isn’t bad, it unfortunately didn’t work for our family.
The thing I …
Odwalla Chocolate Protein Shake Protein Smoothie
Odawlla is that brand that I am no stranger to. Whenever I am browsing in the health food section in my favorite grocery stores, I scan and look for Odwalla. I can appreciate their products, because they are tasty, convenient and great for on the go. I also …
Fit & Active Vegetable Beef Homestyle Soup
The Fit & Active Vegetable Beef Homestyle Soup can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores. One eighteen point six ounce can costs one dollar and nineteen cents. This is a filling and flavorful soup that isn’t high in sodium. The reduced sodium isn’t that noticeable because of all …
Cloud 9 Classic Chocolate
One of my favorite local chocolates is Cloud 9 Classic. I recently rediscovered it when I was shopping for snacks and candies for my son. I remembered how I used to beg my mom to buy me, not just a single Cloud 9, but a whole box of …
O’Charley’s Prime Rib Philly Sandwich
I don’t know how O’Charley’s can afford to charge only $7.49 for such a hearty sandwich. Not only is this meat sandwich hearty and soul-satisfying, but it’s jam-packed with flavor and deliciousness. First of all, the prime rib is pretty tender; it’s not at all tough or …
Chick-fil-A Cafe Blend Coffee
The Cafe Blend Coffee served at Chick-fil-A comes in three flavors: Coffeehouse Light, Bistro Dark and Expressly Decaf. The coffee served at this fast food restaurant seems to be a little stronger and more flavorful than that served at Burger King and Whataburger, although it is similar to McDonald’s …
Parent’s Choice Little Fruits
One of my toughest challenges as a parent is getting my daughter to eat healthy. She’s not necessary opposed to eating something that isn’t sweet but does have issues with eating new things.
Since one of the things she won’t eat is fresh fruit, I’m glad I was able …
Maine Goodies Humpty Dumpty All Dressed Chips
Maine Goodies Humpty Dumpty All Dressed Chips consist of a peculiar combination: vinegar and barbecue. I suppose it should not surprise me that the combination is odd with a product that sports such an odd name. I have never had a chip that merged both vinegar and barbecue together …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Orange Dream
This is a fairly refreshing and sharp might I add variety of ice cream! Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Orange Dream offers both vanilla and orange flavors to create a double flavor that is enjoyable. Both the vanilla and orange flavors are represented well, although I must say that …
Lindt (Lindor) chocolates
Lindt (aka Lindors) chocolates are premium irresistibly smooth Swiss chocolates.
Lindt chocolates are quite expensive, always around $5 or more for a 150g bag with about 10 or more in there. They are a big size, hard for a small mouth to fit. You might have to bite it in …
Enviro Kids Organic Crispy Rice Bars - Peanut Butter
Okay, so my sister goes on all different kinds of kicks, diet and exercise wise, and any time she starts something new and drastic, I end up with a bag full of weird foods or junk food that she wants to get rid of it. The only reason …
Leader Vodka Ice mixed drink
I have already tasted two different Leader mixed drinks and I must admit that this is the worst one, the other two are made of rum plus lime or orange. I usually prefer vodka to rum, but this combination of vodka with lemon is really not my favourite one. …
Quorn Beef Style Burgers
Truth is, I only buy them because they are one pound for two burgers. Thats 22 grams of protein for one pound, cheaper than a couple of cans of tuna. I microwave them in two minutes and serve wedged in a pitta burger.
Quorn is microprotein, made of a type …
Mukti Gold Instant Ginger Tea Pre-Mix
I love all sorts of tea and I’m always glad to discover new ones that I can try. I also like ginger, in any form. So, as you would guess, I am quite partial to ginger tea. But little did I know that there are so …
Arby’s Large Roast Beef
Arby’s has worked on changing their image for a number of years now, offering more upscale items such as their market-fresh sandwiches and other items. What it all comes down to in my mind though is the roast beef. They’ve always been the place to go for the best …
Betty Crocker - Cookie Brownie Bars
Betty Crocker - Cookie Brownie Bars offer an interesting combination creation that I think works fairly well. What this combination creation is it is like a cookie and brownie all rolled into one. Like with a chocolate chip cookie, there is the chocolate, and then there is the dough. …
Lipton Nai Cha
Lipton Milk tea is another product from the makers of teas in bags. Well, Lipton is the most famous tea brand (as I have known). They have been around since I was a kid. Since then they have introduced a variety of products including the Lipton green tea (in …
Our Family Brand Toaster Pastries
Synopsis: A box of toaster pastries offered at select grocery store as a cheaper alternative to the more popular Pop Tart brand. I purchased a box of 8 pastries (four packages of 2) for $1.75.
What I liked about this brand: Well, you can’t argue with the price. When I …
Lipton green tea
Since when I was a child, I have been addicted to beverage drinks like soft drinks..I cannot live without soft drinks and I drink less water. but, In effect I am suffering from gas pain and hyper acidity.. still, I ignore the said symptoms in my body.. Until, I …
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 …
Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soymilk
I don’t like to use soy milk too often, but when I am looking for a non-dairy milk to use to make mashed potatoes or another savory dish, I think that soy milk is the best kind to use because it doesn’t have the underlying natural sweetness to it …
Polland Fresh Chinese Lumpia
I am so full right now! I ate one (1) Polland Fresh Lumpia. I went down at the bus station near the Trinoma Mall here in Quezon City Manila, and they are the first to have the Polland branch in a mall that offers fresh lumpia. The price is …
Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Popcorn
I’ve been a pretty loyal user of Orville Redenbacher’s microwave popcorn for years so just prepared a bag of their newest product — Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Popcorn. Per the bag, it has a reduced cooking time. Other flavors are also available, but I’ve only had the natural …
Cadbury Dairy Milk Apricot Cumble Crunch
Ever since I started eating chocolates, I always choose Cadbury, although honestly, I don’t have any brand preference. I have tried different kinds of Cadbury. From milk chocolates (dairy milk) to other types with nuts or fruit mixture. Of all these Cadburry chocolates, I love the plain one the …
Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Milk Chocolate Frosting
Betty Crocker has a bunch of different frostings. As the years have passed, they’ve added not only new flavors, but some ‘x’ factor that gives some flavors a different edge. For me, though, I’m very partial to their Rich & Creamy line which delivers a taste better …
New York Style - Baked Original Bagel ChipMix
New York Style - Baked Original Bagel ChipMix just did not do much for me. Compared to other snack mixes by other companies, where lots of garlic, for example, is used, this snack mix really does not have much to offer a person looking for something to energize his …
Spring Fresh Farm Eggs
I usually buy a particular brand of eggs at the grocery store but I decided to try the Spring Fresh Farm brand of eggs because they did not have any of the brand I usually buy and I wanted to bake when I got home.
Now I found that these …
Great Value Fully Cooked Crispy Chicken Tenderloin Strips
The Great Value Fully Cooked Crispy Chicken Tenderloin Strips come in twenty-five ounce bag for six dollars. In each bag comes roughly sixteen chicken strips. They vary in size, with some strips being real long and other strips being on the short side. They are sold in one of …
Orange Truffle Baileys Cream Liqueur
Baileys is definitely my drink of choice, so I was excited to see a new flavour available just before Christmas and slipped a bottle of Orange Truffle into my shopping basket. I wasn’t expecting too much as I’m not a huge fan of orange flavours at the best …
Jell-o Gelatin - Watermelon/Green Apple
Jell-o Gelatin - Watermelon/Green Apple is a delicious fruit combination that I find very refreshing! This gelatin flavor combination offers authentic and real watermelon and green apple tastes that taste especially good in hot weather when the gelatin is ice cold! Boy is that ever good! What is also …
Primo Thick and Zesty Garlic and Herb Pasta Sauce 680 mL
This is my first choice when making any pasta that needs tomato sauce. It’s that good, so I use it almost daily. I’ve had this change in diet lately where I seem to be giving up on rice almost completely.
I was originally from the Philippines and even …
Weight Watchers Cheese Bites
I am currently trying to lose weight and it is such a hard thing to do. Then again I think that diet food is a lot better these days than it has been in the past and there seems to be plenty normal tasting food out there that can …
Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …
Great Value Vegetable Beef Condensed Soup
This soup didn’t sit well with me. I’m sure it was due to the chunks of beef. They were kind of flavorless and not so tender, either. They required quite a lot of chewing and when I was chewing the meat, I wasn’t really enjoying it because the flavor …
El Monterey Burritos Beef & Bean Green Chili Burritos Family Pack
The El Monterey Burritos Beef & Bean Green Chili Burritos Family Pack comes packed with eight full burritos. The burritos are filled with seasoned beef and ground up beans. The seasoned beef has a tasty flavor and is the most filling part of the burritos. The ground up beans …
Lipton Green Tea
I’ve been having some constipation problems because of my ulcer medications and the doctor advised I drink tea instead of coffee. Green tea is best he said, because it helps the digestive system as well as works as an antioxidant. So after 30 minutes of going back and forth …
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, …
Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos
Normally, I have been against the changes that have been made with the beloved Oreo cookie. But, there was no way I couldn’t try the new berry burst ice cream flavor Oreos. They were a refreshing change from the usual Oreo flavors that I haven’t enjoyed. It is a …
Taurus Cider
Sold exclusively in ALDI stores, this dry cider is a surprisingly pleasant alternative to more expensive brand name competitors out on the market.
Similar in taste to most of the more well known dry ciders such as Strongbow, this particular brand is certainly refreshing enough with a decent flavour, …
