One dish that me and my son both love is a pasta bake and when I am making one of these I look no further than an Uncle Bens jar. I am sure there are plenty of others that can make the sauce from scratch, but at the moment …

The Great Value Taco Shells come twelve to a pack for one dollar at Walmart. They are yellow corn taco shells and I think they taste as good and fresh as the taco shells sold under the name brands. On a couple of occasions, I’ve purchased these taco shells …

Product Description: Bag of frozen crinkle-cut style French fries. I recently found them on sale at one of our local stores for 99 cents but I think they normally sell for about $1.50 per bag.
What I liked about this product: Usually, if I spend so little on fries, I …

Marie Callender’s has a bunch of new flavors out for their Fresh Flavor Steamer line. I’ve tried a couple of the original ones and wasn’t that impressed, but these new flavors sounded enticing, so I began with Rigatoni Marinara Classico which, per the package, is “Rigatoni in a …

Since I just ate at Charlie’s Grind and Grill the other day, yesterday I had another urge to eat their famous Angus beef burger. What I like about their restaurant is that they have something that I have not seen in other burger joints. They have a Shrooms patty. …

I came into the know of Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Dinner kits when watching TV one evening and seeing the commercial with the black smith showing up to a woman’s door, and then showing her how to cook —˜liquid gold.’ The commercial appealed to me because for one it’s hilarious …

Wow and yum! These Pringles Stix have a pretty gosh darn good flavor to them! Of course, both butter and honey are things that I find really quite delicious, so I suppose it should not come as a shock to me that I really like these stixs. I am …

My favorite lunch is soup and a sandwich, but I’m presently on a tight budget, so I’m happy to have a low-cost alternative to fall back on. Canned soups’ prices have escalated recently, so they’re not the bargain as before. I still stock up when they go on sale, …

The shoppers near us has doughnuts that we can get. I believe they are 12 for about $5.00 or so. We can sometimes get them already in a box for about $3.00. You get to pick which ones you want. They are large doughnuts that you get.
They have …

Campbell’s Gardennay Autumn Carrot Soup is absolutely wonderful!

Samba is the latest and the hottest product of CDO Company in the Philippines right now. It’s a Brazilian style corned beef. Being a food lover by nature and a Food Technologist by profession I always wanted to try something especially if it’s a new product. I bought several …

Traditionally, I have been in charge of the arrangements for the holiday meals of the family. My relatives are so picky and I have to confess, the kitchen is not my domain and so I exert extra effort to make our holiday meals festive. I spend most of the …

We were in a bit of a hurry at dinner time last night because we had to eat before going to an open house at our daughter’s school. We ended up making chicken and, to go with it, stuffing from the brand Chef’s Cupboard.
I have had the Chef’s Cupboard …

Vitaminka Portokal is actually chocolate candies with orange kernel. I bought them the other day at a very cheap store called Getro. There you can find very cheap stuff but mostly it doesn’t taste very good so I prefer buying things I’ve already tried there but you have to …

Aldi Markets are small self-service discount grocery stores with reasonable prices on bulk items, mostly dry goods and everyday staples. The stores I’ve visited in the Pittsburgh area remind me of tiny Costco-like stores. I just returned to the East Coast, so I don’t know how long …

Morning Star Farms Meal Starters Chik’N Strips are fabulous! Yes, I know it’s not real chicken but you won’t even be able to tell, honest. At first, I thought a chicken substitute couldn’t possibly be any good but I have changed my mind.
I buy an eight ounce …

i purchased this butter made by Wabash Valley Farms because I wasn’t satisfied with the butter flavored microwavable popcorn brands sold in the grocery stores. Even those packages that claimed “extra butter” or movie theater butter” failed to impress me. I figured I’d give butter toppings a try to …

I have mentioned before my unbridled passion for In-N-Out’s Double Double. It is amazing. However, I do not only love burgers. I love french fries. They are the best form a potato can take. Potatoes should aspire to becoming french fries when they grow …

I haven’t been a big fan of McDonald’s for many years. It’s not really because of the chain itself, but of a local owner of two nearby McDonald’s and who in my opinion had some unfair business practices. I guess you could say I’ve had a private …

We bought this pack of fish fillet because it was offered in the grocery as buy one take one. We grabbed the opportunity to stock one and taste what Royal Breaded Fish fillet has to offer. Seldom do we buy such ready to prepare foods in Hypercity grocery in …

Now, I have said some distasteful things about Dannon Activia’a Strawberry flavored yogurt.

However, I would definitely recommend that if you have not tried Dannon Activia’s Strawberry and Cereal …

Ever wondered why Filipinos love eating fastfood and for a majority of them would probably vote Jollibee as their choice? Unlike other burgers that taste bland, although there are a few foreign brands that are great also, but being “untried” or “advertised” well enough have not gained a …

This mix doesn’t have as much fat and cholesterol as the Hungry Jack Original or Buttermilk mixes that call for oil, eggs and milk, but it ultimately fails to produce the same quality pancake that the aforementioned mixes make. The reason the pancakes that are made from this mix …

Banquet tends to be a brand I don’t like very much; it tends to be on the lower end of the quality scale, but for some reason I love the Banquet Brown ‘N Serve Sausage Links, especially the Original flavor. Now, I’m not sure, but for many years …

The Rice-A-Roni beef flavored rice is another favorite rice from the Rice-A-Roni lineup that I like to prepare. I like the beef flavored rice because it’s versatile and can pretty much go with type of meal that I’m preparing.
Because the cooking instructions differs for each flavor of rice, I …

I like m&m by theselves so when I heard there was a biscuit with them I just had to try it. M&M s are delitiuos so I was really wondering if this biscuit will be as delitious as tehy are or even better.
The box looks very appealing although it …
