After eating my very first Michelina’s Lean Gourmet product, I really wasn’t expecting much from their Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls. In fact, I never would have purchased this product, or the other two I did at the same time, had I been aware that Michelina’s is essentially Weight …

I am always thirsty. I drink quality drinks that give my body a boost in the health department, and I don’t spend a fortune doing it.

We had steak last night and, to go with it, made some garlic mashed potatoes from the brand Valley View; a brand I believe we ended up buying at our local Aldi store or some other discount grocer.
I have had other products from Valley View with some mixed results …

While browsing my local health food store a few weeks ago, I came across Yogourmet’s kefir powder and decided to try it. I’ve tried store-bought kefir in North America, and it tastes nothing like the product I remember drinking in Eastern Europe. I was very excited to try the …

Hershey’s: Dulce De Leche Syrup is perhaps my favorite ice cream topping that I have tried so far. The reason is pretty simple: it is a caramel topping and boy oh boy does this topping have a deliciously rich and intense caramel flavor! I love caramel, and so I …

When it comes to ice-cream, I seldom eat outside of the Blue Bell products; recently, I have discovered that Blue Bell now sells their popular ice-cream flavors in mini cups. I made a trip to Publix recently where I saw a bag of Blue Bell homemade vanilla and Dutch …

What’s nice about the Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Bars is that unlike with the ice cream sandwiches also sold by Sundae Shoppe, these come on a stick. That makes eating these ice cream bars less messy than the ice cream sandwiches, which can leave my hands feeling sticky as …

I love a good freebie, so when Taco Bell handed out free coupons to try their new limeade drink, I couldn’t pass it up.
This new Taco Bell drink comes in a lime and cherry flavor. I went back and forth on which one to try, but ultimately settled …

I do like sweet things and although I do have the odd Cake, it is more a Chocolate bar or something like that that I prefer. I do look at the Chiller bit in my local Shop and buy the odd Cake and treat like this.
I got a 2 …

I came across this yogurt by chance when I was looking for some yogurt that I could take to classes with me. Usually yogurts come plastic glasses and they are not very practical to carry around. So a few days ago I came across Yoglu ACE Altecime probiotic yogurt, …

Carl’s Jr. - The Kentucky Bourbon Six-Dollar Burger is not worth even three dollars, in my opinion. I was not all that pleased with this burger because I did not really find anything all that special about it and there definitely should have been something special about it considering …

I can’t be certain of who introduced me to the Publix strawberry and almond cheesecake, but I give them many thanks for doing so.
Before I started eating Publix strawberry and almond cheesecake, I wasn’t really a big cheesecake eater: I didn’t eat cheesecake religiously. I remember my mom brought …

I bought some Elmlea double cream substitute, which I thought was supposed to be healthier than cream. It has less fat than cream and a friend had recommended it to me. When I opened it up, it looked OK, quite nice and thick and it keeps for ages in …

One of the items we needed was breakfast cereal because, once again, we seemed to …

Campbell’s Gardennay Autumn Carrot Soup is absolutely wonderful!
It tastes like it is homemade or from a very nice restaurant.
It comes in a tetra pak and tastes so fresh it’s as if it was just made.
It has a rich flavour and is very nutritious.
It is a bit more expensive than …

My wife and I had the house to ourselves Friday morning. OK, we had our youngest daughter, but she’s only 3 months old and, when she’s sleeping, it’s like having the house to ourselves.
In any case, she decided to make us a pancake dinner and, even though we had …

Great Value Ripple Cut potato chips are specifically designed for dipping, and they work great. The rippled surface holds more dip than regular chips, which enhances the taste. Even the runny types of dip stay on pretty well. The chips are thick, so they do not easily break or …

One of the items I recently tried was Raley’s Fresh Deli Chicken Strips. I love chicken, but hate cooking it. I don’t really have working appliances right now that let me prepare it myself anyway, so I thought I’d give these chicken strips a try. One …

We decided to try this ice cream last week when we were at the grocery store and saw that it was on sale for two dollars. We love Reese peanut butter cups in our house and figured that the ice cream would be good.
The ice cream itself was very …

I went to Getro and there I saw these Grandi Rum chocolate bars. Grandi is a Getro brand and I really don’t like shop brands because they are often of a very lousy quality. I’ve tried a bunch of Grandi stuff and I can’t really say that I liked …

Betty Crocker - Bisquick Pancake Mix is not a product that I will purchase again. I do not care for pancake mixes that require water to be added as opposed to milk. Milk makes pancakes much better and the only reason I purchased this mix was because the grocery …

Kirkland green tea is only available, to my knowledge, at CostCo stores in Washington, USA. It is a blend of sencha and matcha tea, and comes in boxes of over 200 tea bags. I buy it every time I go to CostCo.

Like the root beer, this grape drink is definitely …

I learned about Dove dark chocolate while attending a lecture about vitamins and their importance in providing antioxidants. I don’t know that I understood everything at the lecture, but …

I was really disappointed with Sparkle. Being a Coca-Cola product, I guess I expected more from it. Sparkle is one of the favorite drinks of the kids and teenagers in the Philippines today. When I noticed this, I wondered why it seems to be a hit with the kids. …

Since I came over to Australia for my tertiary studies, Powerade is the most famous and most common sports drink that I come across nearly everyday, wherever I go. The main characteristics that I like about this sports drink are its sweet taste and its ability to quench thirst …

I’m going to talk about a sweet I’ve been wanting to eat for some time now.
These are the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, some snacks that are reeeeeally good and consisting of a ball of chocolate with almonds on the outside, a small cookie on it’s internal spherical shape and a …

We recently tried this Safeway brand of Rainbow Rotini pasta, and found that it tastes really good for boxed noodles. If you like Rainbow Rotini macaroni noodles, you really should give this brand a chance. I enjoy it with any kind of pasta sauce. The noodles …

New York Style - Pretzel Flatz Original is a cross between a potato chip and a pretzel. It is actually just a pretzel in the shape and texture of a potato chip. This means that unlike a lot of pretzels sold, these pretzels are thinner and more brittle - …

I wrote before that I tried pizzas from the brand Borbello and liked them. Since they were still on sale, I decided to pick up a couple different varieties to give them a try. Since they didn’t have the Hawaiian pizza my wife wanted to try, I ended up …

These muffins are a hit with my kids. Both my one-year-old and my seven-year-old enjoy them, and I have to admit to sneaking some when they are not around.
I have tried other mini muffins from other stores, specifically the muffins from the Sobey’s supermarket, but they are hard and …

The Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop is really not that terrific, in my opinion. The reason I am not won over with these bomb pops is because of the flavor. There are supposed to be a multitude of flavors to be found on these bomb pops, but what …
