Nescafe makes a wonderful alternative to your everyday chocolate milk for some of us coffee lovers. I love my morning coffee, but during the summer, it isn’t something that I want. The heat of the coffee seems to warm my body too much to cool it back down in …

There is not a great deal of flavor to be found inside these Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins. The blueberry flavor is not quite as rich as the non-one calorie muffins, and those did not even have a real rich blueberry flavor to begin with! While there is …

Mountain House Freeze Dried Meals
I have been trying to update my emergency supply kit lately and this also includes the Mountain House freeze dried food stores. Mountain House foods have an excellent shelf life of seven years, so I can have food security for a long time. These foods …

Every year my mother-in-law sends us an Omaha Steak Package for Christmas. This year we received what is called the Grilling Collection. From the brochure we got with the steaks this is regularly a one hundred and fifty four dollar package. She says she did not pay anywhere near …

I am not what some people would call a hardcore or even a regular coffee drinker, but I believe that I am still able to distinguish between a bad cup or brand of coffee and a good one. When the “Shiriff Instant Coffee” was bought by one of the …

I happened to buy the curry Puff in IKEA Malaysia. This is the curry puff that I like most and there is no other places curry puff can beat it. The size is a bit bigger than the regular one, it has chicken meat, potato, onion, curry …

Vita Shake has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to fixing a healthy and quick breakfast in a hurry. It is so simple to make. You just put 12 ounces of water or soy milk in a blender. Then you open up the package of Vita Shake …

I’m the type of iced tea lover who’s extremely picky about the teas I drink. When in restaurants, I hate when the waitress refills my iced-tea glass without asking-completely disturbing my perfect tea/sugar ratio. With that being said, I discovered Mayfield’s Iced Tea in the gallon …

The weather’s getting cooler and I want to eat warm foods while at work. In my local grocery store I peruse the soup shelves for something different. Voila! I see several cans of Amy’s Organic Soup…and choose Split Pea. You can’t go wrong with Split Pea, right? Right! This …

On hot summer months, I usually crave Ice cream. However, I cannot afford to purchase a lot of pints from Ben & Jerry’s all the time when I do. When my husband and I are on the go, we just choose to go drive-through and pass by the …

Chunks Ahoy is a brand of chocolate chip cookies from the company Christie. I’m a very picky eater, and usually I only eat chocolate chip cookies from the bakery section of my grocery store, seeing as those are the freshest and softest. However, my friends all told me that …

Nissin’s Chow Mein is just like those ramen noodles you get in the small packages but this one comes in a square shaped container which is about 6 inches long all around. The reason for this is so you can microwave it. This is supposed to be a quick …

I was introduced to these crispbread by my grandmother when visiting over her house one day. The brand name is what attracted my attention to the box. I’ve heard my fair share of out of the ordinary brand names, some so exotic that you have to look twice. Doctor …

I have written previously on the Doral Light cigarette, and how much I enjoyed them. I decided that I would try one better and check out the Doral Ultra Lights. This turned out to be a mistake. while the Doral Light is still a tasty cigarette, …

Boxed lettuce mix is a convenience item for me because I can get a blend of lettuces without the hassle of washing and chopping all that lettuce. I usually just buy my boxed salad at WholeFoods along with the majority of my produce, but they were out of the …

At best, I would describe the Ortega Nacho Cheese Dip - Medium to be bland. There is really nothing noteworthy about this cheese dip, other than that I liked that it came in cups that could be placed in the microwave and heated up. I liked the simplicity and …

In my opinion In-N-Out burger is the best fast food chain in Mira Mesa. Note, I stayed in Mira Mesa for a couple of months only so I didn’t get the chance to try the other fast food chains. Anyway, my uncle brought me to In-N-Out in Mira Mesa …

I did not care too much for this Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Ozark Black Walnut. The reason I did not care too much for this ice cream is because there did not seem to be very many walnuts. I do not know if I just happened to get …

Banquet has recently started offering frozen dessert pies in addition to their frozen meals and frozen pot pies. I’m always interested in dessert, especially at the low prices that Banquet offers, so I bought their Cherry Berry Pie once I saw it in the store.
You can either microwave this …

My family and I buy a lot of the Compliments line of food products and the Compliment Sensations are a new more up market line of foods. When the Double Chocolate Truffle Hot Chocolate came available I quickly bought it even though the price was a little steep at …

Pepsi is my vice (along with Spaghetti). I drink it all the time. I can’t stand Coke. As a child, my parents originally did purchase Coke, but when Pepsi really began to pop up, they switched, and we never looked back. Now what is funny …

I really have a hard time deciding whether I like the natural vanilla ice cream more, or the Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream French Vanilla. The reason my choice is a difficult one is because while this ice cream is somewhat creamier than the natural vanilla, the natural vanilla …

I had already tried the Dolmio Sweet Tomato & Chilli stir-in sauce and that was lovely so I thought I would try this other variety which is made of oven roasted vegetables. I have discovered that roasting vegetables is the best way to bring out their flavour and …

I saw these last year and loved them and was happy to see them again this year. What I’m talking about are M&M’s Minis in a Tube. I adore regular M&M’s, but these minis are tiny little things that continue the milk chocolate goodness of regular size …

I made Martha White cheese garlic biscuits for dinner. This was the first time I had tried this product. I got it at the dollar general and thought that it looked like an interesting product to try. They are very easy to make and all you have …

I have never been a pretzel person until recently, and don’t really know what brought me to pretzels. My husband has always loved them and wanted me to eat them too and I would take a couple and then be like “Well I really don’t like pretzels.”
Then, I …

When it comes to food, I can honestly say my main weakness is Asian cuisine. I cannot cook Asian food at home from scratch but I love dining out on it. Sam’s Club is known for carrying frozen dinners for just about any type of cuisine, so when an …

Because I’m trying to cut back on soda, I have found myself drinking a lot of iced tea lately. One of the brands I buy is Lipton Brisk Iced Tea.
The Lipton Iced Tea, which can be bought in 12 ounce cans (something I prefer because it saves me from …

This potato ring snack is one of my favorite junk foods. Its cheddar cheese flavor makes me crave for it over and over again. It is a healthy snack because it is fortified with Vitamin A and Iron. It has Sangkap Pinoy seal and accepted by Department of Health …

While the Nestle Koko Crunch is the number one favorite of my family, the Nestle Honey Stars is our number one favorite alternative to Nestle Koko Crunch. It is what I call the twin sister of Nestle Koko Crunch. This corn flake cereal with wheat oat …

Although I’m a classic Coca-Cola drinker at heart, I don’t mind drinking Pepsi now and then. I don’t think Pepsi tastes as good as Coke, but it’s an alright soft drink. What attracted me to Pepsi Throwback is the real sugar ingredient in place of the potentially dangerous high …

Every so often I run across a candy bar that I can’t find anywhere in the US normally. One such incident occurred recently when I found myself the proud recipient of the Cadbury Wunderbar. This bar is fairly popular in the UK and Germany as well as other parts …

I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …

I like adding applesauce to my lunch or dinner occasionally because it tastes good and it’s not what I consider to be a “heavy” side, like, for example, beans or even certain kinds of vegetables. Applesauce is light, yet it’s not light on flavor, and that’s what I enjoy …

Yes, I admit, I love coffee in whatever form it may come to me, be it brewed or instant. Here in the Philippines, there is proliferation of the 3-in-1 instant coffees in sachets and I have tried most of them at one time or another. I am not impressed …

Teavana is the place to go if you’re just getting in to loose leaf teas. Most of their teas are between $4-$6 for two ounces of leaves, but the rarer stuff can get pricey. They have hot and cold samples of some of their teas in the store …

I was looking for a perfect sweet chili sauce I needed for my kebab. Compliments has a huge variety of products from personal care, home care and food. I bought their Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce in 350 ml. This sauce is for fried shrimps, fried chicken and other fried dishes. …

I love eating whole wheat foods from time to time and “Excelsior ALl Natural Whole Wheat Biscuits” are one of those foods. In fact, ever since my grandmother introduced me to them years ago, I have found a few other reasons to like them since.
The very first reason …

Log Cabin: Original Syrup is one of my absolute flavor syrups to use. The reason it is a real favorite of mine is because the syrup is very rich and it is one of the thicker syrups on the market. It is syrup that greatly enhances my enjoyment of …

I used to like Alpen a lot when I was a kid and it occurred to me recently that I had not had it for years. I must have seen an advert for it as I was developing a craving, so I bought a box for £1.49. …

Stouffer’s Chicken Fettuccini is a meal that I consider to be a good one because I have no real complaints about this meal except for a few minor problems. For one thing, although the chicken is quite good and has a lot of flavor, the chicken could be a …

The name of this Pasta Side might be a little misleading because there actually isn’t any bits or pieces of chicken in this Pasta Side. What is in this Pasta Side is a sauce that has the flavor of chicken. The sauce, although thicker than the broth in a …

Every time my husband goes to the grocery store by himself I get scared of what he might bring home with him this time. Granted he usually does pretty well but it’s guaranteed that there will be at least one item that has me raising an eyebrow. Lately he …

Violife is probably the biggest vegan cheese alternatives brand in Europe. Their products can be found in most European countries and in most big supermarkets.

I have tried lot of Bob’s Red Mill products and almost all were good to taste, easy to make and nutritious and healthy as promised. But when I purchased ‘Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix’ I got disappointed. They are of course very easy to make but the taste …

Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks proved to be a moderately enjoyable breakfast meal, although I did encounter a few minor problems. First of all, it would have been quite nice if these French Toast sticks would have come either with powdered sugar on top of them or a packet. …

As I have stated before, I love greek yogurt with an a burning passion. There is just something about the creamy thickness that pulls me in and takes me way to a blissful place. Almost every brand out there have their own line of greek yogurt with their own …

IttiBitz Cotton Candy ice cream is a sweet, delight I found in the ice cream aisle of super Wal-Mart. It’s pretty small but the flavor packs a mean punch if you’re into cotton candy.
IttiBitz is one of those “dots” ice cream; not exactly from the company Dots, but it …

I have the same problem with these organic apricots that I have with the “Sun Maid Mediterranean Apricots”, except the problem is worse! The problem I’m referring to is the occasional poor quality batch, although with these organic apricots, it’s not so occasional! Now these organic apricots are supposed …
