Il Gelato di San Crispino
Location: The directive of ‘It’s at the Trevi Fountain’ is only half true. The gelateria is actually hidden down a alley a little further away (Via Veneto direction). They also have no signage at the fountain or anywhere else, even the shop barely acknowledges the name, though this makes …
Season’s Choice Prince Edward Medley
Season’s Choice Prince Edward Medley is a frozen vegetable product carried at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and forty-nine cents. Sixteen ounces of vegetables come in a bag and the vegetables include: carrots, wax beans and green beans. Admittedly, the variety isn’t as impressive as some of …
Bear Naked Fit Granola
I love Bear Naked Fit Granola and it didn’t take me long to learn that this is the best tasting granola out there in my opinion. The reason they advertise as fit is because they are lower in sugar and are thus less fattening and better for the …
McCain Pizza Crescendo Rising Crust Pizza
The other night I found I was just too tired to make supper, so I picked up McCain Pizza Crescendo Rising Crust Pizza in Roasted Chicken Deluxe.

Nestle Toll House Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love baking cookies, but there is just one problem: I can’t do it from scratch. I’ve gone through quite a few cookie dough products, and none of them have made me excited to bake like Nestle Toll house walnut chocolate chip cookie dough.
The Nestle Toll House walnut …
Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties
Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties are mouth-watering! When I want one, I cook it in the oven, no need to defrost, and out comes a delicious tasting burger that’s filling and flavorful! The burgers are bigger and thicker than quarter-pound burgers and six come in …
Red Baron By the Slice 4-Cheese Pizza
I’m a huge fan of Red Baron By the Slice Pepperoni Pizza, which I am buying with regularity so last week I decided to try a different variety of this easy to prepare meal and purchased Red Baron By the Slice 4-Cheese Pizza.
I was as impressed with this 4-Cheese …
Bagoong or Shrimp Paste
It’s actually called shrimp paste and it smells horrible uncooked. Well, it should, after all the ingredients were left to rot in huge jars. But if you sault it with garlic, onions, tomatoes and pork, it tastes wonderful. Just forget how it was processed. Bagoong is much like an …
Grandma Rechek’s Homemade Stuffing
I had to run some errands before coming home last night so I told my wife I would just bring home dinner with me. After some thought about this, I ended up going to Rechek’s Food Pride here in Beaver Dam, WI and getting chicken from their deli.
Since …

Copa Di Vino
When I first saw Copa Di Vino wine featured on Shark Tank, I was amused. It seemed like a rather good idea to finally make fine wine in small quantities available to the consumer. I remembered having noticed the brand in my neighborhood CVS drug store before seeing it …
Pop Weaver Microwave Popcorn with Butter
In my home popcorn has always been a preferred snack. I love orville Redenbacher’s but wanted to try something different. I purchased the Pop Weaver brand popcorn with butter. I don’t know if the quality of this popcorn is just not up to par, or if it sat on …

Geeta’s premium mango chutney is authentic Indian chutney made from fresh mangoes and is sweet-smelling which I’ve bought from Tesco supermarket. I actually bought it this month to try it as a dip for the papadum that I’ve made at home. One thing I could personally say …
Buffalo Wild Wings’ Ribs
Since I love Buffalo Wild Wings’ wings I decided to try their ribs because the picture of them on the menu looked delicious. However, I have to admit I was dissapointed. The ribs were too small and really didn’t taste like real ribs. Since I’m a sauce person, there …
V soft drink can
V is a carbonated drink that is designed to give you energy. It comes in four different varieties in different colored cans. Even though I’m a bit of a soft drink addict, I can’t say I like V all that much - it’s just ok, but certainly not my …
Skoal Pouches Wintergreen
Skoal Pouches may not prove to be a healthy alternative to long cut chewing tobacco or smoking, but it does not have many of the negatives of both. When using tobacco pouches, the actual tobacco does not touch your gums, it rests inside of a fiber-woven pouch, with …

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 …
Healthy Choice Bacon & Smokey Cheddar Chicken
Healthy Choice Bacon & Smokey Cheddar Chicken is a frozen meal that comes in an eight point six ounce box. One frozen meal retails for two dollars and nineteen cents. That’s a very fair price considering the amount of food and quality of food that comes in this frozen …

Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks
Mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite appetizers to order in a restaurant. For me, there is nothing better than eating melting mozzarella cheese covered in some type of deep-fried breading. I had become familiar with them because my mom would always purchase them for me, and when I …
Fita Crackers
It is always handy to have a pack or two of the Fita Crackers round biscuit; it is very handy whenever you are stuck in the traffic, or at work and would need to have a quick relief of the tummy growlings. Fita crackers used to be sold only …
Morning Star Garden Veggie Patties

Gevalia Coffee Membership
When I’m bored the first thing I gravitate towards to is the internet, there is face book, google, and twitter that can entertainment me for hours, but even they have their limits. So a friend told me to google “get …

I ultimately decided to try Crush Grape after having positive results with their original flavor called Crush Orange. My neighborhood Albertson was running a sale on two liter bottles of Crush Grape for a $1.69. Now when it comes to fruit flavored soda, I tend to go initially for …
Sour Skittles (Green Wrapper)
Taste the rainbow? More like taste sweet pain. Sour Skittles are basically just Original SKittles except for one addition. They are overwhelming coated in that sour powder stuff that you see on candy ever now and then.
At first I was very eager to try Sour Skittles out, I mean …
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 …

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 …

Selecta has done it again. With this new flavor, they have created another “supreme”.

Bigelow Spiced Chai Tea
I enjoy hot tea from time to time and Bigelow Spiced Chai Tea is good. I prefer to make my own recipe from scratch, but when I’m working or on the fly, Bigelow’s Chai Tea fits the bill because it’s so easy to pop the tea bag into hot …
Tropicana Lemonade
One of the first things I noticed when I picked up a 12-pack of Tropicana Lemonade is it had one an award from the American Culinary Chefsbest for best taste. That isn�t why I bought it. I got it because it was on sale.
But, after trying it, I have …
Marie Callender’s Original Corn Bread Mix
