Season’s Choice Italian Vegetable Blend
We made Pork Chops last night for dinner and, to go with it, my wife decided to make the last bag of Season’s Choice vegetables in our freezer, their Italian Blend.

Denny’s Country-Fried Steak & Eggs
When my boyfriend and I were in Los Angeles to view an art exhibit, we decided to stop at Denny’s for a cheap breakfast. We decided to share the Country-Fried Steak & Eggs because it sounded like too much food for one person —“ two steaks with gravy, …

Stracciatella Lindor Truffles

Safeway White Cake White Iced Slice
I decided to pick up this cake slice because, let’s just face it every once in a while we’re in a cake sort of mood.
I like the idea of buying a small amount of cake. This slice as they call it is actually enough to slice up and feed …
Bojangle’s French Fries
If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I think I would pick the fries from Bojangles. Unfortunately for me there aren’t any of the fast food chain restaurants around me. Maybe that should be fortunately since I probably would never eat anywhere else. …

Barilla Plus Farfalle is a new kind of pasta. It is made with multiple kinds of whole grain flours, including typically semolina flour, oat, barley, and spelt flour. It also contains flaxseeds and lentil and chickpea flour, which I think makes it unique among most typically packaged pastas. These …
Diginirio Pizzas
This is my all time favorite frozen pizza. When you eat it, it doesn’t even taste like a frozen pizza. I think it’s the best frozen pizza there is. They come in a different variety. I know they have supreme, and just pepperoni. I also know that they come …
McVitie’s Medley Digestives Cereal Bars
The McVitie’s Medley range are basically cereal bars which have been combined with two kinds of Hobnobs (chocolate or peanut) —“ and in this case we have cereal bars combined with McVitie’s chocolate digestive biscuits. I think these are really yummy. These are like a cheater’s version …
Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Chocolate
I find these Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Chocolate to be a little on the bland side. The reason I find them to be bland is because the chocolate cake just does not seem all that rich or moist, really. The chocolate flavor is simply not as delicious and …
Quaker Marshmallow Fruity Ohs Breakfast Cereal
I generally don’t buy sugar coated cereals , especially those that have quite a bit of artificial colouring added since they’re unhealthy and the older I get is the more likely these things will affect me. Nevertheless, recently I decided to lay down my rules for a little and …
The Big Wiener Deal at Wienerschnitzel

Swan’s Pure Natural Honey
The other day I went to the grocery store and they were all out of my favorite organic honey so I ended up getting a local farm honey called Swan’s Pure Natural Honey. The honey is made in Maine and is U.S. Grade A Honey.
Now this natural honey …
Eggo BakeShop Swirlz Strawberry
Remember those ads on tv in the early 90’s for PopTarts? They basically said that PopTarts were a complete breakfast. Of course I never believed it. Well, I wouldn’t rely soley on Eggo BakeShop Swirlz for breakfast to get me through the day. However, it’s excellent as brunch, a …
Banquet Chicken Nuggets Frozen Dinner
I’ve tried one or two Banquet frozen dinners over the past couple of years, and I always thought they were just okay. Given that they’re usually less than $2.00 per single-serving box, and when they’re on sale they’re about a dollar, I figured you get what you pay for …
Schwans Orange Strawberry Banana Drink Concentrate
As I scanned through the Schwans August-December 2006 magazine the drink concentrates cought my eye. They have a variety of flavors, but the Orange Strawberry Banana flavor caught my eye. I think it is a delicious mix of fruits that blend together very well. The …
Mrs. Paul’s Crunchy Fish Sticks
I loved eating fish sticks when I was a kid. Recently I was feeling a little nostalgic, so I bought a box of store brand fish sticks from my local grocery store. That ended up being a big mistake, because the fish sticks were mostly breading, and …
Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Creme Pies
I do not quite know what to say about this Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Creme Pies. Half of the cookie I rather like while the other half, I really find disappointing. What I like about this cookie is the rich and delightful as well as plentiful creme that is …

Cheetos Giant are those new cheetos that you see on the commercial where they are trying to make a big cheeto puff that would fit perfectly into anyones mouth no matter what the size. They are testing it out and theres a buzzer that goes off if its too …
Kellogg’s Rice Krispies breakfast cereal
One of the great classics of the breakfast cereal world, if I can use that perhaps slightly overblown expression, is Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This has been a favourite all over the world for very many years now, and there is no real mystery as to why - it is …
Black Cherry Shasta Cola
Out of all the sodas I have digested in my time, Black Cherry Shasta Cola is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve never in my time found another flavor of soda so very attuned to my soul. It has a dark mellow kind of taste …
Maruchan Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
If you think that ramen noodle soup is just for college kids, think again. My college kid days are far behind me, farther behind than I care to admit, and I confess that I have discovered the joys of ramen noodle soup. Of the brands that I …
Colombina Snow Mint candy
I am not usually a fan of things that are mint flavoured, especially mint flavoured candy. That is why when my mother offered me a Colombina Snow Mint candy I nearly declined. However, because it did not look like one of the usual mint candies I was used to …

Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Five Hour Energy Shot
There are so many different types of energy shots on the market now it ain’t even funny, but most of them make you feel like you are so tired when it is wearing off. There is one particular energy shot that I believe everyone should be able to …
Pillsbury Savorings Mini Crescent Dogs
One package of Pillsbury Savorings Mini Crescent Dogs contains ten relatively small sausages wrapped in a pastry for four dollars and twenty cents. The only reason I decided to give these crescent dogs a try is because they were on sale plus I had a coupon, so I ended …
Mekeni Picnic Hotdogs
I can’t believe this hotdog. I really appreciate my compatriots’ coming up with this product. It’s surprisingly cheap though its taste can compare with the leading hotdog brands like Purefoods and Swift. And it’s not packed in a ‘just like that’ manner. Then I thought, maybe the texture won’t …
Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate
Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate was my choice of candy for conducting an inexpensive treat. This is a perfect economic candy which is high in quality and rich in its contents. Ferrero Rocher is looking great in its round shape and small pieces of nuts embedded in dark chocolate. And …

Great Value: Microwave Extra Butter Popcorn
Great Value: Microwave Extra Butter Popcorn is pretty delectable, although I was certainly hoping for a somewhat stronger butter coating over the popcorn than what I tasted. I could most certainly taste the butter, but when something reads “extra butter”, I really expect for my taste buds to be …
Krusteaz Bakery Style Oatmeal Cookie Mix
Krusteaz Bakery Style Oatmeal Cookie Mix makes a cookie that offers up a lot of oatmeal flavor. Now, oatmeal is not really a cookie flavor that I enjoy all that much, but I do get a taste for oatmeal cookies every now and then, and when I do, I …

If there’s one thing I personally have a weakness for, it’s spaghetti with meat sauce. I’ve always loved this classic dish and I love trying new versions of it. In this frozen dinner, it’s paired with lots of flavorful ingredients including onions and flavorful, meaty mushrooms. I am a …
Nescafe Ice Java Icedd Coffee Syrup
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 …
Jell-o Singles Vanilla
I like the Jell-o Singles Vanilla variety even more than the chocolate variety, which I find quite tasty! The vanilla flavor is very real and rich, and I just love to let the flavor be savored on top of my taste buds for a few moments so that they …
Del Monte Dark Sweet Cherries
Del Monte Dark Sweet Cherries is my most recent discovery in canned fruit department, and my new favorite. The can full of just cherries, big and red, costs a little more than other Del Monte canned fruit products, but, to me, it is worth every penny. The cherries are …
