Abita Mardi Gras Bock, seasonal beer
We picked up the Abita Mardi Gras Bock to go with a southern-themed dinner one night, and it paired really well with the somewhat heavier, spicier food that we ate that night. It’s drinkable and versatile enough for a number of different seasons and dishes.
The Abita Bock is a …
Campbell’s Condensed Beef with Vegetables and Barley Soup
Campbell’s Condensed Beef with Vegetables and Barley Soup is different from Campbell’s cream soups - it is visibly thinner in consistency. However, it is still condensed, so you need to add 1 can of water when you cook it. Just like with other Campbell soups, you can cook it …
Trader Joe’s Chicken Chili with Beans
This item is a somewhat unique take on chili, substituting chicken for the ground beef. I have always liked chicken chili, so when I saw it in the store I picked it up.
I was expecting this chili to be a little different than it was. I was thinking the …
Trailing rosemary
We bought two of these plants for about four dollars a piece at Lowes, they were potted in one gallon containers and were about a foot tall. Since then, it has been about five weeks, and they have expanded in size quite a bit. They now stand about a …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Kiwi
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Kiwi is a tasty variety, however I would like it better if the kiwi flavor was better represented. The strawberry flavor overrides and dominates the kiwi flavor, and I find that to be disappointing. I was really hoping to enjoy some delicious and scrumptious kiwi …
Dannon light and fit apple pie yogurt
Dannon Light and Fit Apple Pie Yogurt is yogurt that is supposed to taste like apple pie. In my opinion, Dannon Light and Fit Apple Pie Yogurt is really disgusting and tastes nothing like apple pie.There are apple chunks and cinnamon in it, but it tastes spicy and kind …
Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy
Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy is a treat that I mildly enjoyed, although it is quite unlikely that I will purchase it again come next Halloween season. I realize that these treats are supposed to be gummy, but I did not think that they would be gummy to …
Campbell’s Microwave Chicken Noodle Soup
What’s that old wives tale? If you get a cold or are sick, eat some chicken noodle soup and you’ll feel better. Strange as it sounds, I’ve found that to be true. Oddly, I’m not a big chicken noodle eater, except when I’m sick, and the …
Eggo: Apple Bake Shop Twists
Eggo: Apple Bake Shop Twists is a bland breakfast food that I did not enjoy too much at all. The reason that I did not enjoy these twists is because they offered up very little apple flavor! Yes, I can see the apple contained within the twists, and it …
Mrs.Smiths Apple Pie
You will easily be able to convince people tah you cooked it yourself when you cook a Mrs.Smiths Apple pie. this is by far my favorite of the frozen pies. The pies is made so well that when you cook it, you would think taht you had made it …
Jolly Rancher Hard Candy (Blue Raspberry)
Last week, I had heard one of my friends talking about how great Jolly Rancher Hard Candies tasted, and how cheap they were, so what I ended up doing was buying one of them for myself especially when I found out that the candies were indeed cheap. Out of …
Sting Energy Drink
The commercial of this energy drink was about a man helping a women with his car. The car lost it’s battery energy. The guy drank Sting Energy Drink and starts dancing with background music of “I’ve got the power”. After that he tested the car battery on his skin …
Kashi Go Lean Cereal
As a vegetarian, I am constantly searching for different sources of protein. Since I don’t know how to cook very well, my beans and tofu dishes end up tasting bland and void of flavor. Since I love crunchy snacks and cereals, this Kashi cereal was an ideal …
Mountain Dew Throwback
Those who grew up in the 60s and early 70s remember the delicious taste of Mountain Dew out of a bottle with a hayseed on it. The hicks in the sticks ambiance associated with that Mountain Dew apparently did not jibe with the evolution of American drinking habits during …
Duncan Hines Perfect Size For 1 Confetti Mug Cake Mix
I love reading food blogs which is how I first came into the knowledge of cake mugs. The theory behind cake mugs is you create a cake batter cut down to fit inside of a mug or any microwavable cup. You then cook the batter in the microwave for about …
Ore-Ida Steak Fries
For decades, I’ve used various versions of Ore-Ida potatoes. I think my first love was their crinkle fries. Now, though, I’ve tried out another variety, and it’s become my favorite thus far. Ore-Ida Steak Fries are thick cut potatoes. The package describes them as being …
Stagg Chili Steak House no beans
Now THIS is what off the supermarket shelf chili should be! This is good stuff even if I don’t make it from scratch. Yes, this is the chili that costs up to two dollars at the store, but if you can get it on sale, this chili …
Golden Blossom Honey
The other day I was in the grocery store trying to pick out a honey for my tea and I found Golden Blossom Honey. It was Grade A pure honey and had a very mild sweet taste to it. It actually tasted wonderful in my tea because it didn’t …
Post Honey Bunches Of Oats
Post honey bunches of oats cereal is a great cereal that is reasonably priced. I like the flavor of this cereal very much. It has a slightly sweet taste to it but is not overwhelming with the sugar. The Post honey bunches of oats cereal stays …
Blue Bunny King Size Crunch with Candy Center Ice Cream Bar
Blue Bunny King Size Crunch with Candy Center Ice Cream Bar is a pretty average bar that does not really try anything new. Yes, there is chocolate candy in the center, but that is not exactly some new revolutionary idea. Is the chocolate candy good? It is alright. It …
Ashirwad iodised salt
My mother uses the Ashirwad iodised salt in our house to prepare the food. Actually this salt is iodised, and is very good for the health. Our body needs the proper quantity of iodine every day and that we can get by using the Ashirwad iodised salt. …
Lays chips
Lays is a name of an interesting snack, that is nothing but the crispy, tasty and delicious chips which are made of potatoes. Lays chips comes in many and many verities and many tastes. I have tasted all of them and all of them are very good …
Kinders Milk Chocolate
My mother’s best friend is from Bosnia. She purchased my mother some Kinders milk chocolate candy bars from a store that sales Bosnian foods. I will first say that my mother loves the chocolate bars. I have another opinion on them though. I will say that the candy bars …
Twix Cookie Bars
From the Mars company, Twix Cookie Bars are a combination of chocolate and caramel that have a cookie crunch to them versus just a candy taste.
Quite honestly, I’m not a big fan of Twix Cookie Bars. They definitely do have that cookie crispness and that’s probably one reason …
Amazing Cones’ Flaming Fajita Pizza Cone
Just when I least expected it, I came across a new type of pizza. It was Amazing Cones. Amazing Cones is a restaurant that serves pizza, dessert and ice cream. The best part is that Amazing Cones is named as such because the pizza is rolled in a cone. …
Ritz Crackers
Ritz Crackers are just about the only crackers I can think of which are tasty enough to eat on their own. They are small, only two inches in diameter, so I sometimes just pop one or two in my mouth for a quick snack. They are crisp …
Chock Full o’Nuts ground coffee
My mother loves coffee - maybe not quite as much as a coffee house devotee, but she MUST have a cup when she gets up, when she goes out for dinner and, strangely, every time she’s been in the ER.
After a while, the coffee she was making just didn’t …
Lindt Milk Raisin Hazelnut chocolate
Hello there, chocolate lovers! Yesterday I read that the chocolate industry might go extinct in 40 years and that news actually got me thinking: what are we going to do without the chocolate? Obviously, that news could be completely false, but if it’s true, we should definitely start appreciating that …
hint - Blackberry
The blackberry flavored water from hint proved to be a pretty disappointing drink that I had a little trouble finishing because I simply found it to be somewhat bland and tasted almost like just plain old bottled water. I was hoping for a rich blackberry flavor would have been …
Tesco Traditionally Smoked Austrian Processed Cheese
This smoked cheese from Tesco is one of my favourite cheeses. Unlike cheddar, this has such depth of flavour that I do not usually bother having any other ingredients in my sandwiches as just to have this cheese on its own is tasty enough and not too dry. …
Pepperidge Farm Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cookies
One day I was shopping through the cookie aisle at the grocery store and I stumbled upon these cookies. I picked up a bag to get a closer look and I was like these look so amazing. I never knew such a yummy looking flavor existed. …
Secure Soy Complete Meal Replacement
For those who want to buy this product, let me be the first to tell you that it’s full of chemicals. There’s Sucralose aka Splenda and Aspartame. If you don’t know what Aspartame, it’s the most dangerous additive in our foods. It can cause a lot of illnesses, from …
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles disappointed me quite a bit. The reason I purchased these waffles was because of the raspberry and strawberry flavors. I did not feel that either flavor was represented well and neither did much for me. Oh sure, I could taste some …
Samosa Noodle Rolls
Samosa Noodle Rolls is quite a weird side-dish, if you look at it closely. However, the taste is quite nice and mix in some ketchup sauce and you are ready to dip in nicely.
To make this, you need some basic stuffs only and not that hard. …
Lipton French Vanilla Flavored Black Tea
Truly, besides coffee, tea also makes my day. When I am having headache, or stomach pains, I drink tea and will fade after a while. I rely on Lipton when it comes to tea. It is one of the best tasting teas in the market. It has been ten …
Mac n Cheese
I have a confession to make. When the chill of winter sets in, on many a Friday night all I want to do is plant myself in front of my non-existent fireplace with a heaping pot of the gluey orange stuff. No date or dinner out with friends can …
Aquelle Lemon flavored mineral water
I have never really been one to buy bottled water as I believe this to be something of a waste, as I am already paying for water to come out of my taps.
While bottled water has never been on any of my shopping lists, I got to taste some …
Arby’s Value Soft Drink
Okay. I have a beef, a big beef, and I regret to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with hamburger, sirloin burgers, or any other food that has anything remotely related to beef. Rather, my beef is with this so called Arby’s Value Soft Drink.
Value? …
Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Dinner Kit: Creamy Beef Stroganoff
I came into the know of Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Dinner kits when watching TV one evening and seeing the commercial with the black smith showing up to a woman’s door, and then showing her how to cook —˜liquid gold.’ The commercial appealed to me because for one it’s hilarious …
Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Ice Cream Sandwich
Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Ice Cream Sandwich turned out to be quite a disappointing ice cream sandwich. What made the sandwich so disappointing? Well, there seemed to be very little flavor to enjoy here. For example, neither the vanilla nor the chocolate flavors did very much for my …
Gorton’s Grilled Salmon
One of the items that is available in the frozen foods section at most stores is Gorton’s Grilled Salmon. Obviously if you are not a fan of sea food you will not like this product, however, Gorton’s Grilled Salmon is an excellent dinner item. I would say …
New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps
New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps excel when it comes to the raisin portion of the bagel crisp but fall short in terms of cinnamon seasoning. For each bagel crisp, which is admittedly fairly small, a good number of raisins are crammed in. The raisins are tasty …
MN brand mango pickle
I have said a lot about the MN brand mango pickles. And now I am going to talk about the MN brand mango pickle. The very good quality tender mangoes are cut in to cubes and these cubes are used to make the pickle. The spices …
Magnolia Pancake Plus
One in a while I indulge myself and eat a sinfully delicious stack of pancakes. I cook for one, but most packaging are for several people. I was glad that I saw Magnolia Pancake Plus in a 200g packaging in the grocery. The label said that it can make …
Smuckers Strawberry Preserves
Well, it’s time for a classic. I’ve been going on a binge here lately buying local to me (Southeast Texas) or independent brands particularly in the jam/jelly/honey butter department, I thought it was time for a change. Along with my usual essential provisions at the grocery store, (Bacon, beer, …
Pop Weaver Extra Butter Popcorn
I personally can’t taste a whole lot more butter on this variety of popcorn compared to the “Butter” variety, also made by Pop Weaver. I can certainly feel it on my fingers, but I can’t quite taste the extra butter once the popcorn leaves my hand and enters my …
Wendy’s - Chicken Club
Wendy’s - Chicken Club is a heavy sandwich! The breast fillet is quite thick and offers up a whole lot of chicken! It is very tasty too, and I always order the breaded version because I know that I will enjoy the sandwich much more than if I were …
Oishi Ridges Potato Chips Cheese Flavor
My sister brought home snacks one time and it is Ridges Potato Chips 60g. She said that the price is cheap for PHP 23.25. I am excited to taste it as I have not tasted any cheese-flavored snack for three months. This one is different among the cheese-flavored snack …
Mama Cozzi’s Italian Style Classics Meatball Marinara Pizza
As I’m not an expert on what exactly classifies as an Italian classic, I have no idea whether or not Mama Cozzi’s Italian Style Classics Meatball Marinara Pizza will satisfy those that consider themselves foodies in the area of classic Italian foods, but as someone that enjoys a good …
