Ghiradelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa
My favorite hot cocoa mix to use to make chocolaty hot chocolate is the Ghiradelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa in Double Chocolate. I like this hot cocoa mix because it is made from pure cocoa, sugar cane, and vanilla beans. I like that there are not any unnatural ingredients …
Michelina’s Four Cheese Lasagna
This frozen dinner doesn’t even look like traditional lasagna. It’s not in a square or rectangular shape and it doesn’t have meat, either. This is a lasagna dish that’s all about the cheese and noodles. The blending of four cheeses is the highlight of this frozen dinner. There’s ricotta …
Ritz Crackerfuls Classic Cheddar
If you are in search of a type of snack cracker that is really very crunchy and offers a relatively rich cheddar flavor, then I would recommend that you give Ritz Crackerfuls Classic Cheddar a try. These crackerfuls are quite crunchy and when I bite into one, my taste …
Real Leaf Green Tea Drink
C2 made a big splash several years ago when it introduced green tea in bottled form. It was instantly a hit because it highlights the benefits of drinking green tea. The main success was foremost on its components. People do not like fattening products like soda and not to mention …
Special Edition Strawberried Peanut Butter M&M’s by Mars
The other day I was waiting online at the grocery store when I spotted an unusual bag of M&M’s. Just when I thought I had tried every flavor and combination of candy, they go and create a limited edition product that I couldn’t wait to try.
…
Weet-bix (New Zealand cereal bar)
A lot of cereals out there are becoming more and more unhealthy. Some would claim to be low fat although they’re packed with so much sugar! While others are simply high in carbohydrates and GI! Weet-bix, however, is one cereal that I found to be healthy, tasty and satisfying.
They …
Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream
Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream is a great ice cream parlor! It is of the same cut as Marble Slab Creamery and Cold Stone Creamery but it is definately set apart. The ice cream flavors are awesome, definately check out better batter, you feel like you’re eating cake, sooo good! …
Great Value: Steamable Broccoli & Cauliflower
Great Value: Steamable Broccoli & Cauliflower is a variety of frozen vegetables that I likely will not purchase again. I have been trying to develop a taste for cauliflower, but I have not endured much success and probably never will despite my desire to like it. I thought that …
Blue Runner Foods
I don’t think I had ever tried Blue Runner brand products before moving here to New Orleans. It may be considered a local food that isn’t carried in other places. I’m not really sure. Red beans and rice wasn’t a local favorite in Florida, where I’m originally from.
Here, however, …
Best Choice Hickory Smoked Kielbasa Sausage
I love to use kielbasa sausages in a variety of casseroles, soups and stews. I also use these sausages when I make some of my specialties like red beans and rice. One problem is that I often pay more than three dollars for higher priced brand of this food. …
Mountain Holler
I’m normally a Mountain Dew drinker. But, brand name soda is getting expensive lately and I can’t always find it on sale.
Looking to stay within a budget, I have once again switched back to a more generic version; Mountain Holler.
The thing I like about Mountain Holler (sold here at …
National Golden Cheese Sandwiches
I’m usually very skeptical about trying cheese sandwiches biscuits, epecially some of those local ones, since pretty much all of the locals ones I had tasted, tasted a bit odd to me and I disliked them. However, when I saw a small pack of National Golden Cheese Sandwiches last …
Sargento Salad Finishers
My wife and I usually have salads with our dinners but, to be honest, they were getting a bit dull. That’s why I was glad Sargentos came out with their Salad Finishers.
For just $4, you get a good combination of meat, cheese and another topping (in our case, it …
Millville Apple Cinnamon Crispy Oats
I feel that the name of this cereal is not very appropriate because I do not feel that there is much apple cinnamon flavor at all and also the cereal is only slightly crispy, but also a little on the soft side, and this is all without milk. This …
M & M Bumbleberry Blossom - flower shaped pie
As a convenience, M & M meat shops are pretty good. A little bit on the expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for, type of thing. The latest thing I have tried is the Bumbleberry Blossoms, which are individual little pies. They’re really cute - shaped …
Marks and Spencer Deliciously Nutty Crunch
This is the most gorgeous breakfast cereal from Marks & Spencers. The only problem is that it is so nice I tend to nibble at it straight out of the box with my fingers. You can buy a 500g box of Deliciously Nutty Crunch for £2.19. …
Leslie’s Baked Cheezy Puffs
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 …
Tim Tams chocolate cookies
I first discovered Tim Tams from Youtube.com, believe it or not. One of the people I subscribe to is an Australian girl that puts together some very creative and funny videos, even if her topics tend to be very random. She kept talking about something called Tim Tams and …
Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
Growing up, I was a chocolate junkie. I still love chocolate, but I think I’m more finicky these days and I like a bit of variety with the chocolate. For example, instead of chocolate on chocolate, I prefer a white cake with chocolate frosting, or a chocolate …
Great Value Extra Raisin Bran
I couldn’t find my favorite cereal at my local Wal-Mart. I freaked out, afraid that Wal-Mart had discontinued their Great Value Extra Raisin Bran Cereal.
I found it a few weeks later in new packaging. I was relieved, but I soon pondered why Wal-Mart had changed it. Did they ruin …
Winn Dixie Brand Glazed Donuts
The glazed donuts from Winn Dixie are affordable and taste just as good if not better than donuts would taste if they were purchased at a shop like Dunkin Donuts. They come in a pack of eight for 2.99. People pay more than that for a dozen donuts at …
Trix Yoplait Yogurt
Yoplait Trix yogurt aren’t just for kids. Now I’m not a big fan of yogurts and I’ve tried a lot of them. Some are chalky some are very sweet. Others are runny, grainy, too tangy, too bland, too thick. The thick ones you gotta eat slow or you’re liable …
Butterball Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Strips
I was looking to buy chicken breasts to make a cobb salad at home. The plain chicken breasts were not on sale so I decided to try the Butterball Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Strips. The flavor I choose was grilled. I assumed that they would have …
Cool Ranch Doritos

Sichuan Dan Dan Mian
On a spring trip to Sichuan, China, me and my family had the opportunity to try one of the famous local dishes: Dan Dan Mian or spicy noodles. We sat down at the table in the restaurant, and a big bowl of red noodles was put on the …

Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup Picante Chicken Flavor
Remembering Remembering mom making hot chicken soup for me when I was sick made me long for some homemade hot chicken soup. When I hit the soup aisle in my local market, I scanned all of the possible choices. As I was sick with a sinus infection, nothing really …
Arby’s
Aside from seafood my favorite food would have to be roast beef, and that is mainly one reason why I like eating at Arby’s. I can go there and expect to eat quality roast beef sandwiches for a very reasonable price. The horse radish sauce they include with the …
Smucker’s Caramel Magic Shell
I remember when I first saw Smucker’s Magic Shell. They had not yet have a Caramel flavour, but that was to soon change and I was so delighted when I saw Smucker’s Caramel Magic Shell Topping sitting there on the shelf. I immeadiately grabbed one, I love caramel!
Smucker’s Caramel …
Orange Crush Soda
I just love and adore Orange Crush Soda to no end. I grew up drinking it, and it remains a favorite. Unfortunately, the product has done this ‘come and go’ type of thing. It shows up at my grocery store, and then it disappears to the …
Trebor Extra Strong Mints
Trebor Extra Strong Mints are my least favourite brand of mints although I usually accept one if they are offered to me as they are good for freshening breath. They are good at freshening breath precisely because they are so strong that I start to grimace as I …
Goldilock’s Ube Loaf
I grabbed this bread when there was no available peanut loaf. The latter was my favorite snack while reviewing for the bar last year. I had to sip Coke Light as well while eating. I chose Coke Light in order to reduce the calorie intake. My nutritionist emphasize that …

I bought these chickpeas at Safeway Supermarkets in Melbourne, Australia for AU$3.50 in the international foods aisle, in the section where packaged entrée or side-dish meals are displayed. The product is imported from India and commonly available in supermarkets in major Western countries like the United States.
I found the …
Jamie Oliver Green Pesto
I tried out Jamie Oliver’s green pesto and found it to be a very good quality pesto with a rather light flavour. This is the usual blend of basil, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts etc, with the added flavour of Grana Padana cheese. To compare it …
Tofutti Cuties’
Tofutti Cuties’ are totally terrible! What a horrid creation this is. I have no idea what the company used in place of vanilla and chocolate, but boy oh boy do the replacements totally not work at all! The stuff looks like chocolate and looks like vanilla, but the stuff …
Lumberg Wild Rice Cakes Lightly Salted
When you have a soy allergy, it is very hard to find something to snack on that is safe to eat. Well, these wild rice cakes fit the bill as they only contain a few ingredients, mainly rice and sea salt. I admit I never ate rice cakes before …
Edy’s Take the Cake Ice Cream

Country Crock butter
My family always bought margerine by the sticks. I got used to the fact that with a new stick, you need to give it several hours to defrost if you want to have any hope of spreading it successfully.
When I moved out, we used the Country Crock tubs …
Yusaka Japanese Rice Vinegar
It’s too expensive to eat Sushi from the restaurant so often here. That’s why I tried few times to make my own sushi dishes in the house. I browsed on the Internet about how to make sushi,and I bought Yusaka Japanese Rice Vinegar because I need to use rice …
Twix Peanut Butter Bar
Although I’m not as crazy about peanut butter as I’m about caramel, I still like peanut butter and so, it was no surprise that this Twix bar appealed to me. I always felt that the Twix candy bar could use more caramel in between the cookie portion and the …

America’s Choice Marinara Pasta Sauce (in a jar)

C2 cold bottled tea
I’m Not into tea before . I have to admit that for me it doesn’t perfectly suit my taste on beverages I usually drink. Until one day that cold flavored tea almost flood the market different companies offering different brands, tastes, and flavor of the said drink. As pioneer …
