McDonald’s restaurant (UBC location)
This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …
Annie’s Homegrown Organic Cheesy Raviolis
I love eating a dish of raviolis for dinner and especially the Chef Boyardee ones, but recently I have discovered that after eating them I sufferer from allergic reactions and asthma attacks. I found out the reason was that they contained a lot of unnatural ingredients and sodium. These …
Sweet Cane Granulated Sugar
I love to bake and I used to buy the smaller packages of granulated sugar (or white sugar as it is also called) for a while. I realized I was baking a lot and was going through the small packages of granulated sugar like they were nothing and so …
Party Peanuts Albertsons
Albertson’s Party Peanuts was quite dry and did not well match with the name. Why should those peanuts be called Party Peanuts? The peanuts were salted but it was seemingly very powder coated. The salt powder particles in the hand were considerable and sticky. The price was not much …
Cothas Coffee
I am a great lover of coffee. I drink coffee atleast twice a day. But I prefer filter coffee than instant. Infact I hate instant coffee. Though the process is quite lengthy for preparing filter coffee, I can still take pain to prepare it. Anyone would accept it once …
Pizza Power Mackay
If you live in Mackay in sunny Queensland of Australia then you will have to ditch the traditional pizza shops. Pizza Power in my opinion is the best pizza shop in town. For a start, they are made on the spot to order (just like the other pizza shops) …
Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue marinade
So, I was introduced to this product by my older sister, who came over to dinner. She bought over this little bottle called Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue. I had never previously heard of such of thing as ’smoke’ in a bottle. I thought who ever made this …
Redi-Serve Chicken Patties
Redi-Serve Chicken Patties are sold in convenient packs of four. The patties are round-shaped, made of white chicken meat. They are breaded and fully cooked, all you need to do is to microwave them on “High” for one minute. My husband likes chicken sandwiches, so he uses these patties …
Ben and Jerry’s NY Super Fudge Chunk
Last weekend I went to S&R Supermarket to buy grocery items. So in cruising the frozen items, I saw the Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream in NY Fudge. There are other flavours and brands in the ice cream department but I chose to purchase this instead. This comes in …
Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Brownie
There is really not a world of difference between Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Brownie and Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Bake Brownie. Both brownies have chocolate, fudge and a nut topping. The main difference is the size. The fudge brownie is larger than the fudge bake brownie. That is about the only …
Café W Cinnamon Crumb Cake
The other day I decided to try one of these Cinnamon Crumb Cakes for a snack. This is also the first time that I had tried a Café W product from Walgreen’s. The snack is actually a muffin, even if the product’s name says “cake”. And like a muffin, …
Pinahs Rye Chips - Tangy Swiss Cheese
Pinahs Rye Chips - Tangy Swiss Cheese is my second favorite flavor variety behind the onion flavored chips. Swiss cheese is one of my favorite kinds of cheese and I feel the makers of this chip did a fine job bringing the flavor of Swiss cheese and incorporating it …

Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips
Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips make me wish that I would be more daring when I shop for chips at the store. My sister loves tortilla chips and she’s always buying them and then bringing me the remnants. Recently, she brought over a bag of leftovers from …
Grace Thick and Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Elbows
In the summer when my brother was working at Grace Foods Limited, he was given a few food items to take home from a grab bag. One of these food items was one box of “Grace Thick and Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Elbows”. I can remember that even though …
Diet Pepsi Max
In January of 2005, I had the opportunity to go to Europe where I first discovered Pepsi Max. This delicious, zero calorie drink has 69 mg of caffeine in every 12 oz can. That is about twice the caffeine of regular Pepsi. It has …
Golden Home Ultra Thin Pizza Crust
I wanted to use my garden vegetables for a pizza last weekend and, as a result of that, ended up running to the local grocery store in search of some pizza crust.
Since my daughters don’t really like pizza with toppings, the plan was to buy two crusts, one for …
Pizza Hut Viva Lasagna
Viva Lasagna is the newest offering from Pizza Hut. As you can guess from the name, it is combination of pizza and lasagna.
Actually, I think it is just a normal pizza with some lasagna strips on top. Kind of boring if you think of it that way, but it …
Nestle Mini Marshmallows Hot Cocoa Mix
For hot cocoa lovers, Nestle Mini Marshmallows Hot Cocoa Mix with Rich Chocolate Flavor is a winner. Boasting it contains “Natural Antioxidents” (of which I can’t personally attest), perhaps more importantly it has a nice and smooth flavor with miniature marshmallows sprinkled generously throughout. It is 99.9% caffeine free …
Subway’s Chicken Florentine Sandwich/Steak and Beacon Melt
Subway came up with two different sandwiches; the Chicken Florentine Sandwich and the Steak and Beacon Melt.

Pepsi-Cola throwback
Pepsi has now come out with it’s throwback, trying to get sales by going back to using real sugar instead of the now used corn syrup. The product tastes very good but is not as sweet as the regular Pepsi. I have really looked forward to this coming out, …
Uncle Ben’s Fast & Fancy Broccoli & Cheddar
Here is something that practically almost never happens, or actually never happens- the meal in real life looked actually better than the photo on the package. And it tasted great too. I still can’t believe that.
I tried it the other day when I was to too tired to too …

Frito Lay Cheddar and Sour cream chips
Wow, talk about a bad food that tastes so darn good that you really can’t eat just one as the old slogan boasted so long ago.
Normally I turn up my nose at any Frito Lay product, I don’t like the flavor or quailty normally. However, frito lay sour cream …
Breyers Chocolate Chip
Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …
Breyers Coffee
Breyers Coffee ice cream is pretty bland. Now, I am not much of a coffee drinker, and when I do drink coffee, I usually have flavored coffee or a specialty coffee, so perhaps I should not have expected much from this ice cream and perhaps I should not have …
York Peppermint Pattie candy
York Peppermint Pattie candy is a decent piece of chocolate candy which actually tastes rather good. The middle of this candy is packed with a filling that makes the candy pack a refreshing minty taste but it actually doesn’t taste bad and it tastes very good and delicious. I …

Sara Lee: Onion Deluxe Bagels
It is a real shame that these Sara Lee: Onion Deluxe Bagels are not as delicious as the Sara Lee Deluxe Blueberry Bagels. I guess my expectations were set pretty high after I discovered that Sara Lee makes about the best blueberry bagels that I have tasted, and so, …

Kielbasa Dog at Yakima Bears Ballgame
Recently I attended a Northwest League Short Season baseball game in Yakima, Washington. This league is the first stop for many professional baseball players and gives these young men a chance to learn while playing.
I don’t know about your town, but in Yakima they grow their Kielbasa BIG! For …
Quaker Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ever since I started this new job that I’m working at right now, I’ve been eating very unhealthy, which I know is really bad especially since I’m always under a lot of stress. I’m constantly eating all sorts of junk food, which I realise can be addictive since even …
New York Style - Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

Racine Raspberry Danish Kringle
I can’t find Racine Raspberry Danish Kringles at any of our local stores and, as a result, the first time I actually had an opportunity to try this particular product was when I ordered it through our daughter’s school fundraiser last spring. Well, actually, to be more accurate, we …

Tazo Passion Tea
The other day I purchased some Tazo tea and I thought that it would be worthy of a review. Now I’m a big tea snob, and won’t settle for just any kind of tea. I purchased Tazo’s Passion tea and I was expecting it to be like some other …
Murtabak
Murtabak is actually a food that is so tasty and very popular with Asian people and the food originate from India I think. And is very famous with the Indians. Even the Malays in my country truly love Murtabak, and there is never a moment that you will …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla
I did not find anything at all special really about this Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla. The homemade vanilla flavor was nothing spectacular and a letdown compared to the premium all-natural vanilla, also made by Blue Bunny. The premium vanilla ice cream had an incredibly rich vanilla …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Double Strawberry
Next to vanilla, strawberry is a flavor that I really cannot get enough of, so I am so thankful that Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Double Strawberry did not disappoint because this ice cream really has an incredibly rich and creamy strawberry flavor that I just love to let …

Jelly Belly Very Cherry Pudding Snacks
I’ve recently become intrigued by the offerings in the pudding aisle. In addition to the traditional chocolate, vanilla, tapioca, and butterscotch, I now see daring new fruit-flavored puddings like Very Cherry in packages of four cups. They’re very brightly colored, and, while I wasn’t expecting to be blown away, …
Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Cheese
The Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Cheese danish is one that I really do not care for very much. Part of the reason that I was disappointed in this danish is because I did not find the blueberry flavor to be particularly rich or impressive. While I could most certainly …
Great Value Sugar Free Sweet Iced Tea
Since I bought Great Value Diet Green Tea, I became aware and started finding some tea that Great Value brands offer. I started to introduce my family to healthy drinks so I was on the look for those kinds. I bought another one from Great Value and this one …
Roger’s Curried Duck
I don’t know how many people have experienced curried duck before but it is pretty popular here in my country and also pretty expensive. My absolute favourite curried duck is cooked by a man named Roger. He just gets all the measurements right every time it seems.
Curried duck goes …
Kashi Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bar
I love the brand Kashi and their wholesome goodness they deliver without all the hassle. This why I decided to try their trail mix chewy granola bar. I’ve eaten some of their other different snack bars in the past and liked them pretty well. I figured that this Trail …
Sun-Rype Fruit to Go Squiggles
These new fruit snacks come in a variety of flavors. The are 100% fruit which is great news for parents everywhere. While each piece is only 60 calories, it also has 15 grams of sugar and you can definitely taste it.
These fruit snacks are almost sickeningly sweet to me …
