Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Kiwi/Tropical Berry
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Kiwi/Tropical Berry is one of the few gelatin flavors that I am actually not all that crazy about. The reason I was disappointed with this particular flavor combination is because I do not feel there is enough unique kiwi flavor to appreciate and enjoy and …
Purefoods Chunkee Corned Beef
After bacon, corned beef is my all time favorite for breakfast. I always crave for the juicy type of corned beef. I have tried American brands and some have satisfied me but some were generic in terms of taste. One of the reasons why I like corned beef is …

Starbucks Via Ready Brew Cinnamon Spice Flavored Instant Coffee
Given that I have decided to give Starbucks instant coffee a chance, I recently tried their Cinnamon Spice variety. This is just basically instant coffee with cinnamon powder, ginger, molasses and cinnamon. In order to make it, all I had to do is boil some water and then add …
Twinings earl grey tea
I like tea a lot, but I am a little picky when it comes to choose one brand or another. Twinings, so far, is a tea brand that has never disappointed me with their dozens of varieties, and this time I am going to talk about their earl grey.
First …
Nature’s Path: Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries
These Nature’s Path: Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries are as good as the cherry variety, although they suffer from the same problem that the cherry toaster pastries do: they are a little too sweet and I feel that the frosting did not have to be as sugary as it turned …

St. Louis Bread Company Smokehouse Turkey Panini
This is my fourth Panini that I’m trying from Panera. They have a total of five different kinds of Panini on their Signature Hot Panini menu and I was on number four. Unlike the other Panini, which are on thick Italian breads like focaccia and ciabatta, this …
Gardenia Mongo Loaf
One of the best bread in the Philippines is Gardenia. But it’s sad to say that it is not yet available all throughout the country yet. It’s very well known in the National Capital Region but not yet distributed in the Eastern and the Southern part of the country. …
Alpine Full Cream Evaporated Milk
Keeping an evaporated milk in my kitchen is very important for me. I’ll never know when I’m going to need it. But since I cook a lot, I’d like to have it available because I know some menus that need it. One of my favorites is soup. Whatever soup …

DELIGHT COFFEE CREAMER
When it comes to coffee, everyone seems to like it a different way. If this were not true, all those espresso places probably wouldn’t be doing so well! We like to have coffee that is home made, most of the time, and when we do, we enjoy adding International …
Happy Harvest Whole Kernel Sweet Corn
The Happy Harvest Whole Kernel Sweet Corn comes in a fifteen point twenty-five ounce can for forty-nine cents at ALDI Food market stores. Unlike with a lot of other products carried by ALDI, there isn’t as much of a difference in price between the Happy Harvest brand of canned …

Stouffer’s Lasagna with meat and sauce
I have been eating Stouffer’s Lasagna for about 3 years and I really love this lasagna. Stouffer’s Lasagna is sold in small microwavable containers but they are also available in large oven trays. I love the fact that Stouffer’s Lasagna is sold in microwavable trays because they …

Moe’s Joey bag of Doughnuts Burritto
I’m not exactly sure why moe’s calls this burrito a joey bag of doughnuts. I somehow imagine it is some sort of inside joke, of refrence to a song or movie that I just dont understand. This burritto however is by far one of my favorites.
What it is is …
Bondis Vanillin powdered sugar
I use large quantities of Vanillin powdered sugar because I like my cookies and cakes to have this great fragrance of vanilla so I put it everywhere. Vanillin powdered sugar usually comes in small bags of 5g and it is not very cheap so I was really surprised to …
Lavazza Crema E Gusto Ground Filter Coffee
I did not know what I was buying with this filter coffee as the label is almost entirely in Italian but it has turned out to be a very deep, dark, rich and strong coffee. The one bit of the label that is in English says that this …

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 …

I bought some Child’s Play candy for Halloween to give out. It has tootsie rolls, juniors, snack bars, mini dots, tootsie pops, and tootsie fruit rolls. It has more tootsie rolls then anything. It has flavored tootsie rolls as well; I don’t know what they are really called. The …
Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Breeze
I found my self smack in the middle of the dairy aisle the other day unsure of where to turn. It would seem that the more diet and fitness programs I study the more I agonize over sugar, fat, and calorie contents.
It’s getting so, …
Baci Perugina Milk, pralines by Nestle
I have always liked Baci Perugina chocolate pralines because I consider them romantic chocolate pralines. They are my favourite Valentine’s Day gift but also a perfect gift for any romantic occasion. You can buy them in different sizes. Not only the package changes size but it also changes shape. You …
Milka Chocolate
Milka has been around since 1901, when it was first invented by Philippe Suchard in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. I guess that the old tradition makes Swiss chocolate among the best in the world because I think that when there were no machinery everything was better because it was prepared differenty. …

Bush’s offers just the …
White Wheat bread

I’ve purchased White Wheat Bread from four different Wal-Mart Grocery stores in the Mobile,AL area and each time the bread was spoiled …
Blue Bunny Chocolate Lovers Big Dipper Ice Cream Cone
One thing that I can’t seem to get enough of is chocolate, and I guess that you can call me a “chocoholic” because I am usually craving something chocolate, being chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies (usually the Keebler brand), or maybe even just plain chocolate. That …

Texas Pete: Red Hot Sauce
This hot sauce is indeed hot! It burns and doesn’t quit burning for a few moments. I like that I don’t need to pour it on, either. A little will do! That being said, it’s not just hot, but flavorful too. The flavor of the sauce reminds me of …
