Growing up, all I knew was tap water. It stayed that way until just ten or fifteen years ago. I’m not sure why I suddenly decided to try water that I had to buy, but I’m sure there was a catalyst that I’ve forgotten.
After some experimenting, I …

When it comes to cooking, I like short cuts. Sometimes when I am pinched for time or just want to settle down with something easy and quick with little to no clean up, I tend to buy prepackaged meals, usually soup.
Campbell Gourmet Bisques Golden Butternut Squash is one …

When you are on a diet, you have to choose the food that you eat. But supposing you wanted a “Creama De Fruta” but then the ingredients are not fat free, diet becomes impossible. I always appreciate the various brands that have come up with less-fat formulas to help …

Tesco 6 large white pitta bread is also one of my favorite all time afternoon snack or sometimes I usually have it as my breakfast. I particularly had it with a humus dip or any kinds of dip but personally I find humus as the perfect pair for …

The reason they are so good is that I can eat them straight from the package or toast them with a little butter. Since mornings are always so …

At my local CVS pharmacy, I recently purchased a drink after school. Sometimes I’ll be really unhealthy and get an energy drink. This reason for this is because I love the sweet carbonated flavors of them and they taste really unique. Despite their goodness, they are really unhealthy …

Farmstand baby cut carrots are amazingly fresh even after days of the purchase. They are very clean too. I wash them before using but all time I feel that they do not need any washing at all. I do not remember having got such a feel from any other …

What a terrible, terrible boxed macaroni and cheese mix this is. Harvest Wheat Macaroni & Cheese does not have a single positive quality going for it, aside from the so-so noodles. The cheese is perhaps the biggest reason why this boxed mix is not worth any amount of money. …

One of the best halo-halo I’ve ever eaten is the one by Chowking. First of all, halo-halo is one of the most popular Filipino refreshments and Chowking is one of the most popular food chains in the country. Among the main ingredients of the halo-halo are crushed ice, milk …

I am most certainly a popsicle addict. But I like popsicle flavors that are a little “outside the box”, not your traditional Cherry, Grape, and Orange. So, when I perused the frozen food aisles at my local Kroger several years ago, and found banana popsicles, …

To this day, I love Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Hot Cereal. I have a lot of sentimental attachment to this food. As a young girl, this is something my father used to make for me before going to school, and when I got my first job, he …

It seems that every time you turn around these days there is a new limited edition package of Oreo cookies tempting you at your favorite grocery store. There are a lot of flavors out there and some are worse than others.
I’m happy to report that the Key Lime Pie …

Mountain Lightning is Walmart’s inexpensive alternative to the popular Mountain Dew. While the taste is a little different, it is close enough, and I know some Mountain Dew fans who have at least temporarily switched to Mountain Lightning (to give their wallet a break). A 2-liter bottle costs only …

Anything garlic is normally a winner with me, but I’m not a big fan of McCormick California Style Garlic Powder. This garlic powder comes with parsley and contains no MSG.
Packaging-wise, the plastic container is adequate with a colorful wrapper that drew my attention. It has a big …

The Walmart Great Value: Chocolate Cupcakes measure up so well with the Hostess Cupcakes that I don’t think I could tell the difference between the two. They are seriously delicious and may actually even surpass the Hostess Cupcakes slightly in quality. Walmart really did a wonderful job replicating the …

The best bottled water you can drink! Literally. This water is one of the best and purified bottled waters in the US. Its popularity shows this. The bottle design is economical, (even conserving plastic resources in the process), saving you a lot of space in the long run. Buying …

It’s sort of ironic that I use Country Crock honey butter because my butter of choice is Land O’ Lakes. I don’t put the honey butter in any meal I’m preparing, just on toasts and biscuits.
The thing I like about the Country Crock honey butter is that it …

So he bought Samara Red Wine which is …
