On a rainy day there is nothing like sipping on a hot cup of Masala Chai (Indian Spiced Tea) with some savory snacks like Samosas (Vegetable stuffed fried snack) or Pakoras (spicy fritters). It is the most awesome feeling.
Making a Masala Chai from scratch requires the right amount …

My favourite drinking chocolate is Choc o’lait and it is to die for. It has a rich chocolate flavour that you would swear goes straight to your hips and thighs but is actually 99%fat free. In fact there are just 42 calories or 175 kilojules in a cup …

My wife was running errands yesterday and, since we didn’t have any plans for dinner, stopped by our local Papa Murphy’s for a take and bake pizza. Because they were on sale, she picked up a family sized Cowboy Pizza rather than our usual (Papa’s favorite).
While the Pizza was …

I like Libby’s Vienna Sausages, they are tasty and soft, an excellent choice for a quick snack. The tiny can of 6 small sausages costs under 50 cents. The sausages look like hotdogs cut in half. They are made of chicken, pork, and beef; very tender and moderately salty. …

Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate is probably the all time favorite chocolate of Filipinos. Eating a bar of Choc-Nut would lead to one more and more and more. This is a unique blend of grinded peanuts and chocolates in one bite sized bar. For me it is just one bite …

Kids love hot dogs, well mine do anyway. I found a wonderful way for the kids to have hot dogs, without me having to stop what I am doing to boil or bake the weiners. While I was shopping at my local grocery store in the sandwich meat aisle, …

I am an extremely, 100%, die-hard, number one fan of this spread: the Nutella Hazelnut Spread. And I’m not being overly dramatic when I say it’s like heaven inside the mouth. It’s just so smooth, creamy, tasty, and it has just the right sweetness. The only downside is that …

One of my favourite snacks of all times would have to be without a doubt Oreo Cakester Snacks; and I don’t think I could list any other reason for this a part from them being so sinfully delicious. I cannot be so sure what I love the most about …

Aunt Jemima Ham Egg and Cheese on Griddlecake is something I wanted to try because I like breakfast ham and I also like the griddlecakes that Aunt Jemima has come up with and modeled after the delicious McDonald’s McGriddles. However, upon trying my first ham, egg and cheese griddlecake, …

Coffee has always been a good ritual drink in the morning or perhaps anytime of the day. I sometimes use ready-to-drink mix where Nescafe has famously produced several varieties like “unsweetened”, “decaf” or “strong” as they call it. The good thing with ready mix is that it is spill-proof, easy …

Safeway Diet Orange flavored soda sucks to put it lightly! I was really hoping for a better tasting product from this company, because I have had good luck with some of their other brand products. This soda is just plain yuchy! There is really nothing good …

Of the three Pringles multigrain flavors out right now, this is probably my least favorite, although really, it wasn’t too bad. What I didn’t care for was the ranch flavor of the chip. Now that might sound odd because why would I spend a dollar seventy five for a …

I must say, I do not care for Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Chunk Cookie as much as I do for the other premium chocolate varieties made by Blue Bunny. The reason is I do not like the chocolate chunks used in this ice cream. It is not …

I usually like Lean Cuisine meals, but this one was disgusting. I didn’t even finish it, and that’s really saying something for me!

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 …
