Food Reviews
SoBe LifeWater
I wasn’t sure how much I was going to like Sobe Lifewater, because every merchandiser delcares they’ve invented the next best thing since sliced bread. But I have to say, it’s actually pretty good. There’s some good and bad with it, as there is with everything.
First the …
Extra Fruit Sensations gum
Recently while at the checkout line in the supermarket I came upon a new gum I decided I would like to try. The gum was Extra Fruit sensations. The flavor of the gum is Berry paradise. I thought it sounded like something worth trying so I bought myself …
Wheat Thins Parmesan Basil
This flavor of Wheat Thins is delicious! Out of all the Wheat Thins varieties, I think this one has the strongest flavor of them all. I was really surprised when I took my first bite because usually wheat thins have a mild flavor to them. This flavor of Wheat …
Sainsbury’s Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee
This Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s own brand is indeed, as it says on the label, dark and intense, which incidentally is how I like my men. This is lovely coffee, especially for me as I like a good strong cup which is smooth as …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup is something that is easy for me to fix and have for lunch, although admittedly, the soup does not look all that fabulous. Still, what really matters is how the soup tastes and not so much how it looks. While the soup looks rather bland, …
Betty Crocker White Chip Macadamia Cookie Mix
Two words perfectly sum up fall for me: Bake Sale. I am not part of part of the PTA at my son’s school, but I do like to donate baked goods and other things they may need throughout the year. This baking session was one of the few I was …
Jacobs Twiglets
My mum used to buy Twiglets for us kids all the time but it occurred to me recently that I had not had them for years. So I had them for the first time after a long hiatus and I still find them gorgeous. Twiglets are twig-shaped …
Hershey’s BLISS, Raspberry (chocolate candy)
Hershey’s may be a time-honoured “institution” in the USA, but many chocolate lovers outside the USA know it only by name. And to be honest, their products are often thought to be less “sophisticated” than their European counterparts.
Recently, I had the pleasure of tasting a Hershey’s product for the …
Sweetzels Spiced Wafer cookies
Sweetzels Spiced Wafer cookies were something I had the chance to try recently when I spent a couple of days at my parent’s house. They usually keep a few different types of cookies and candies on hands for the grandchildren and these were one of the new things they …
Wal-Mart Great Value Cotton Candy Ice Cream Sandwiches
I’m traditional when it comes to ice cream sandwiches: I prefer the chocolate cookie on the outside, and the vanilla ice cream in the center. As a child it was my favorite treat to have after dinner, or if I was really good my grandmother would give me one just …
Bornvita
Bornvita is the name of the health drink, which is used by many families in India. It is said that the bornvita contains all the nutrition values, which are needed for the growing kids and also for the young generation. I don’t know about the nutritional values …
Charlie’s Grind and Grill’s Angus Philly Cheese Steak sandwich
I have been frequenting Charlie’s Grill quite a bit. I have tried their Angus burger and Buffalo Wings, but I have yet to try their famous Philly Cheese steak sandwich.
I have heard a lot of raves about this, but everytime I go to Charlie’s I would always order my …
Pomegranate Fusion Smirnoff Ice
I usually like to drink beverages from the Smirnoff Ice collection because they are more refreshing than drinking wine coolers. I will admit that their alcohol content doesn’t taste much stronger than the strongest brand of coolers I’ve had. In any case, I bought this flavor …
Folger’s Country Roast Coffee
I am a coffee addict that always loves a great bargain. I had the chance to purchase Folger’s Country Roast coffee for a really low price. I did not expect it to taste so good because it was so cheap. I decided to give it a try anyway and …
T.Marzettis Fat free Apple Dip
One of my favorite fruits to eat are apples. I love to eat apples in the morning with my breakfast, or carry them with me to work for a mid-day snack. Obviously I also really like caramel apples as well, so I was really excited when I discovered T.Marzettis …
New York Style - Biscotti Almond
New York Style - Biscotti Almond is a type of cookie that I feel to be really quite satisfying and enjoyable, in both flavor and texture. I like the cookie a lot because it has a real rich almond flavor that is present throughout the cookie. There are real …
Hostess Donettes - Chocolate
These Hostess Donettes - Chocolate variety are downright terrible! The chocolate flavor that coats these donuts really does not taste like chocolate at all! What happened to the rich and delicious chocolate used for the Hostess Cupcakes, Suzy Q’s, Ding Dongs and similar products? This chocolate tastes like some …
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Dough - 5lb tub
Okay, I admit it. I’m a cookie dough fiend. Half the fun of using dough to make cookies is eating the dough while you’re laying it out on the cookie sheet to be baked. Just be careful, though — too much dough can really do you …
Talenti Tahitian Vanilla Bean Gelato
After trying Talenti’s Pistachio Gelato I knew that I was hooked on the brand and would try as many of their products as I could. One flavor that I recently tried was the Tahitian Vanilla Bean. I purchased the product at Kroger for $3.75 for a single pint …
Ocean Prince Fish Steaks in Lousiana Hot Sauce
These fish steaks are pieces of fish (sardines) cut into chunks, covered in hot sauce and placed in a can. Each can is one serving. I recently discovered this brand of sardines while on a family shopping outing and constantly on the look out for easy snacks I had …
Chunkee Chewy Soft Cookies
I am reviewing another food. And this time its a soft chewy cookies. Chunkee cookies are proudly made in the Philippines(that’s what it says in the pack). These cookies are soft so it is mistaken that it is not fresh anymore.
What I like:
> I love the taste. I love …
Pomelo Fruit Produced in Davao
As a kid I never liked the Pomelo fruit. My dad’s side of the family had a farm with a plantation of Pomelo so when we were kids so we always had an ample supply of the fruit. But what I have tasted from the farm was bitter. That’s …
McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae
McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae is one of the Sundaes that I really like to buy. My boyfriend also wants McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae. In fact, every time we are in the mall and there is a McDonald Branch there, we buy McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae because we like the …
Hill Country Fare Pepperoni Pizza Quick Pouches
I am a fan of Hot Pockets. Easy to cook, easy to eat, and tasty to boot they are a great snack (or even meal if you’re in a rush, which I often am). However, I am always on the lookout for cheaper alternatives, which is why …
Sugar free Red Bull energy drink
I won’t be the first college student to tell you that I’m a little bit addicted to Red Bull. I often opt to buy the energy drink—”$2.75 seems to be the average price in New York City—”instead of giving in to sleep during long study sessions and essay-writing …
Adobo
Do you know what “adobo” is? It’s actually a Filipino dish which is a soy sauce based meat recipe. Does it good? Well for me it is cause I’m a Filipino and I grew up with it. People from outside my country may think this will be another scary …
Peanut Butter Patty Girl Scout Cookies for 2011
So we finally picked up our girl scout cookies for 2011! I was pretty excited, because well, we only get them once a year! But I was really dissapointed this year at the cookies, they changed a lot of them, like cut back and made them smaller, therefore less …
Quitos Hot Chili Lime Rolled Tortilla Snacks
When strolling in my neighborhood Kroger I was a standing by the chip snack isle when I noticed the stand that was introducing the new line of snacks called Quitos. They were offering them at a introductory price of ninety cents for all of their flavors. Because …
Healthy Choice Frozen Entrees
I find it really hard to find a frozen meal that is actually healthy & tastes good. I never knew how hard it was but now that I have been running toward them more often I see how many different selections there are. I think that the Healthy Choice …
Kellogg’s Crispix cereal
A friend of mine stayed with us after burying her father so she could probate his will and find out just what she would have to do with his estate. Even though we had plenty of food, she brought her own breakfast cereal (which she did both other …
Mrs. Freshley’s Red Velvet Creme Cakes
I did not find anything all that remarkable or special about Mrs. Freshley’s Red Velvet Creme Cakes. I really did not find anything at all, actually, when it came to this snack. Just like with the pink snowballs, the food coloring makes for an attractive eye catcher, but other …
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 …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Five Cheese
I don’t care what brand I try, be it Pepperidge Farm, New York Style, Mama Cozzi’s, whatever, they all offer a five cheese Texas Toast and they all stink. When something reads “Five Cheese”, I personally think I’m in for something that’s going to be super cheesy, rich in …
Kielbasa Dog at Yakima Bears Ballgame
Recently I attended a Northwest League Short Season baseball game in Yakima, Washington. This league is the first stop for many professional baseball players and gives these young men a chance to learn while playing.
I don’t know about your town, but in Yakima they grow their Kielbasa BIG! For …
Sisig Hooray’s Sisig Meal with Rice
One day I worked too hard on my shift that I forgot to eat my lunch. I was working in a busy unit and I barely noticed that it was already almost the end of my shift and I still have not eaten at all. I was so tired …
Papa Banana Ketchup
As I am searching for a good alternative to my good old tomato ketchup, I tried one bottle of banana ketchup - Jufran. And now since I am into ketchup anyways, I bought another one, just to test the waters. I bought the Papa Banana Ketchup. This is …
Mamba Sours
Mamba is a candy that I don’t eat very frequently. Part of the reason is because it’s hard to find in my area of Ohio and in fact, there are only a few places where I know I can find it regularly. I was looking around on the internet …
Corn Pops
Corn pops is a cereal. I think its a really good cereal. It has a crunchy but yet sweet taste to it. It isn’t too sweet but just enough sweetness to it that it taste really good. Kellogg’s is the one who puts out corn pops. I really like …
Tesco 2 New York Vanilla Cheesecake Slices
I have had a major craze lately on proper desserts and puddings every night instead of biscuits and snacks and I really am going to get fat if I do not watch it. My latest indulgence is this packet of 2 cheesecake slices from Tesco, the New York …
Amy’s Organic Brown Rice and Vegetable Bowls with Tofu
I bought Amy’s Organic Brown Rice and Vegetable Bowls with Tofu on sale at my local Kroger grocery store for $3.44. The container is approximately ten ounces in size, more than enough for a hearty lunch for one person. I was drawn to the product because it is …
Peanut butter kit kat
The peanut butter kit-kat is the latest in their ‘chunky’ range. Having tried all the other flavours I felt it was my duty to sample this new one.
What I like most about chunky kit-kats is the amount of chocolate on them and the peanut butter kit-kat is no …
Brothers Burger Blues Brothers
I am in the search of good burgers and my favorite would be burgers with different ingredients like different kinds of cheese on them. I usually grab a bite at Brother’s Burgers, and my favorite burger to order is the Blues Brothers. Just like the name suggests, it connotes …
Monster Mojito
Monster Mojito is a limited edition offering from the people at Jones Soda. Every year they make a number of different sodas that people either love or hate with a passion. You don’t get a lot of middle ground when it comes to their flavors and that includes this …

Hy-top premium quality iodized salt is the best topping iodized salt on the market today. There has never been a better tasting salt than Hy-top premium quality iodized salt. Hy-top premium quality iodized salt enriches every dish or delicacy that it is put upon by caring users. While …
Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza
I have purchased a Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza every week for my family since trying it for the first time several months ago.
I think this is excellent frozen pizza. Our family is very particular about pizza and would maybe buy a frozen pizza twice a year. …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Rice Pudding
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Rice Pudding is a flavor variety that does not appeal to me too much. There is nothing wrong with the pudding itself though - it is just as smooth and creamy as the other pudding varieties, the flavor however is not quite for me. I …
L’oven Fresh Take & Bake Baguettes Twin Pack
The L’oven Fresh Take & Bake Baguette Twin Pack costs one dollar and fifty-nine cents. Two baguettes come in a package. The L’oven brand is not a well known one, but I personally think that these baguettes tastes fine. After all, it’s just bread, so why should I pay …
Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
Growing up, I was a chocolate junkie. I still love chocolate, but I think I’m more finicky these days and I like a bit of variety with the chocolate. For example, instead of chocolate on chocolate, I prefer a white cake with chocolate frosting, or a chocolate …
Lipton Clear Green Tea
With the trend now directed to healthy living, a lot of products mushroomed in the market. A proven healthy drink way back to those what you call it era, is the tea. And you’ve heard of the regular tea, black, white, green, oolong, Earl Grey teas.
Personally, I am not …
Knorr soups
Who does not like to sip the tasty, tasty, hot, hot soup? All kinds of soups are my favourite ones. I am a great fan of soups. Actually I used to spend a lot of money to have the soups in the costly restaurants before. …
