Great Value Seasoned French Fries
Great Value Seasoned French Fries are indeed a great value - a two pound bag for just two dollars and twelve cents cannot be beat. Unfortunately, the fries themselves are not that spectacular. After cooking them for the recommended amount of time at the recommended oven temperature, the fries …
SouthWestern Crush Burger from Bakers Sqaure
I just tried the new SouthWestern Crush Burger from Baker’s Square in Newark CA and I must say this burger is good it’s very good. I didn’t believe the hype at first, I was not expecting this burger to be this good. I was actually impressed. The SouthWestern Crush …
Applebee’s Grilled Dijon Chicken Portobello
I am a perpetual dieter and a person who loves to eat out. When they advertise healthier, low calorie meals at restaurants, I am one of the first to try them out. Recently I’d seen several ads for Applebee’s new menu items that had 550 calories or less, and …
Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes
What is so supreme about these Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes? The marshmallow flavor really needs some work and Little Debbie definitely needs to go back to the kitchen and re-work the recipe! Although there is some marshmallow flavor, it is no nearly rich and authentic enough to satisfy me. …
Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water - Eco-Shape
I’ve long used and enjoyed Arrowhead water, but only recently tried Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water - Eco-Shape Bottles. I’ve seen this new plastic design advertised on TV and promoted on the internet. The idea is that it uses 30% less plastic by having an indent 2/3 of …
Hormel Beef Roast
We’ve had Hormel Beef Roast for supper, for the first time, but definitely not for the last. It is so easy to cook, one of those “heat & eat” products that you just put in your oven or microwave, and in 7 minutes it is ready to serve. It …
Great Value Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal
I admit that I’m no fan of oatmeal, but I know that it’s something that I should be eating because of how healthy it is for the body and heart. Starting off the day with a bowl of oatmeal is supposed to be one of the best ways a …
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Original
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Original are more than a little on the bland side compared to the other varieties available, like the garlic, Swiss cheese and green onion varieties. If you have ever had rye bread before, then you already know what these chips taste like. Now I like …

Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins
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 …
Fuze drink
Recently I’ve been buying Fuze drinks from local stores whenever I can get the chance. They’re full of vitamins, and seem to be quite healthy, low in carbs and calories.
They’re sold for a relatively low price, at about 1.50 / 18 fl oz bottle. There are a few different …

Boar’s Head Reduced Sodium Turkey Breast

Marie Callender’s Fresh Flavor Steamer: Chicken Fajita Bowl
Lately, Marie Callender’s has put out a lot of new varieties in its frozen food line, but in regular meals and in their Fresh Flavor Steamers. I’ve been checking out a few, most recently buying one of their Chicken Fajita Bowls to evaluate.
This new variety contains sliced chicken …
Hinano Tahiti Beer
I just love the taste of Hinano Tahiti Beer! I have to admit that I did not enjoy it the first time I was offered one and tried it because the person who gave it to me drinks his beer at room temperature - go figure! So, …
Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts to be almost as good as the cinnamon variety. The reason I say “almost” is because I personally prefer cinnamon to powdered sugar, although the powdered sugar used on these donuts is really quite enjoyable and offers a real delightful flavor. I …
Markenburg Smallows Marshmallows
I shop for food one time and I saw a bunch of Marshmallows on the shelves. I am not the type that like marshmallows, I only find it the color cute that is why I bought it. Specifically, I bought Markenburg Smallows Marshmallows. As I said, the color looks …
Coffee Twist Iced Black Coffee in Hazelnut Flavor
The internet connection in the house we are temporarily staying is very slow at night, and so to make the most of the captcha and online writing work that I do, I wake up very early in the morning. To help me really wake up, I would drink hot …

Rechek’s Food Pride Country Style Pork Ribs
It was a halfway decent day out yesterday, with the temperatures in the 60s for the first time in a couple of weeks. Since it was likely one of the last days we will have like that before winter, I took full advantage and decided to fire up our …
General Mills Cocoa Puffs
I used to eat Cocoa Puffs, made by General Mills, on occasion because I found it to be a reasonably tasty breakfast cereal that was both chocolaty and crunchy. I liked how the Cocoa Puffs never became excessively soggy in milk like many other breakfast cereals did and I …
Tony’s Supreme Crispy Crust Pizza
Trying this pizza proved one thing —“ you’ve got to spend money to get good pizza. I bought it because it was on sale for about a dollar, thinking that the cheap price will compensate for quality. But I was wrong. This was the WORST pizza …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt with Jelly -Strawberry Flavor
One of the things I like about going around the supermarket at least once a week is that I get to chance upon new products that come out in the market if I don’t get to see any advertisement of these new products either on TV or in the …
Ajinomoto Gourmet Orange Chicken and Fried Rice Frozen Dinner
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 …
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Entrees - Sausage and Cheese
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Entrees - Sausage and Cheese is the third variety I’ve tried of this breakfast entree line of food. While I consider Jimmy Dean products to be high quality and among my favorites, I don’t always like the varieties, and some I find to be iffy …
Wolfgang Puck Italian-Style Wedding Soup
I haven’t been to an Italian wedding and so can’t tell you how authentic this soup is. I will tell you that for something out of the can, this really is a tasty soup — it could stand a little perking up, but it isn’t too salty like …
Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
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 …
Teriyaki Beef Jerky from Albertsons
The real teriyaki flavor is there with this beef jerky. But the content of the packet was less and contrary to size of the packet the number of pieces was less. I use beef jerky as a usual snack and this teriyaki beef jerky is finished in a day. …
Ore-Ida Steam N’ Mash Potatoes
Being a person who isn’t a big fan of instant mashed potatoes and doesn’t have the time to clean, cook and mash fresh potatoes, I was thrilled to discover Ore-Ida’s Steam N’ Mash potatoes at the store last night.
This product, quite simply, is awesome. Rather than having to buy …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights Molten Chocolate Cake
Often I need a little treat after work that doesn’t take much time. I am a chocolate addict and can live off chocolate alone if I could. When I saw Warm Delights on the shelf at my local store, the picture on the front of the package looked delicious. …
Diet Dr. B
Visit just about any grocery store, and you are bound to find their own store brand generic rip-offs of main stream products, especially when it comes to sodas. Diet Dr. B is another: it is H-E-B’s store brand of the popular soda, Diet Dr. Pepper.
It is rare that …
MOUNTAIN DEW
I have been drinking mountain dew for years. It has such a wonderful citric taste.It can become quite addictive! An 8 fl oz bottle only has 110 calories which isn’t that bad but the sugars are 31 g. I use to drink 3 (8 fl oz) bottles a day …
Blue Bunny Big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich
I tasted Blue Bunny Big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich in an ice cream treat. It was a thick vanilla ice cream that is embedded between two rich chocolate wafers. It was a tasty combination altogether. It was such a novel ice cream that I had in recent times. This …
Stracciatella Lindor Truffles
I was given the pleasure to sample a stracciatella lindor truffle from the newest lindt chocolate shop in my outlet mall. I will say that I am big chocolate lover and thoroughly appreciate authentic Swiss chocolate. I have tried Lindit chocolates, a hand full of times, but this time …
Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage
Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage is a delightful alternative to regular pork or beef sausage. The “lite” variety has a bit less sodium than other sausages. But if you’re on a strict sodium diet, you may not want to indulge in too much of this. The sodium …
Hershey’s cookie and cream candy bar
Hershey’s cookie and cream candy bar is one delicious tasting candy bar and one of the best tasting Hershey bars around. I like how the candy bar tastes because it really does have a flavor of a little bit of cream which is good and there is even tiny …
Kitchens of India Heat and Eat packs
I find so many supposedly ‘instant’ dishes that can be found in the supermarket are not really instant at all. Some of them you have to fiddle around with cups of milk and spoonfuls of margarine, others take almost an hour in the oven or are just very messy. …
Post Banana Nut Crunch Cereal
I bought Banana Nut Crunch Cereal at the store because it was on sale. I love bananas and banana bread and eat cereal twice a day so this seemed perfect for me. I was disappointed in the cereal from the moment I opened the box. …

Mapro Pineapple Syrup
My husband bought pineapple syrup to add on his cocktail drink. I was curious to taste it since it says on the ingredient that it has sugar, pineapple juice and water. So when you make a drink, you don’t need a sugar anymore because it is so sweet.
Mapro Pineapple …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs quite unfortunately suffer from the same problems that a majority of low fat or fat free products do: a considerable reduction in flavor and a significant increase in overall blandness. These soft snow puffs almost taste like nothing really as both the …
Tunnocks Caramel
I love my sweets and confections and when it comes to chocolate I sometimes like to treat myself to one of the delicious chocolate bars I have grown up with, that is simply named Tunnocks Caramel. This caramel chocolate bar is pretty expensive which is why I call it …
Fit & Active Cheddar Cheese Rice Snacks
Although I like caramel more than cheddar cheese, the cheddar cheese rice snacks are definitely tastier than the caramel rice snacks from Fit & Active. The cheddar cheese flavoring certainly catches my attention with every bite and makes for a snack item that is enjoyable to have. The rice …
Chahine Supermarket
I spent my weekend driving around Calgary stocking up on ingredients for ethnic dishes that I was planning to cook over the next weeks. One of the joys of Calgary is the many ethnic markets in the city, and the best Middle Eastern market, in my opinion and according …
