I remember way back when our local Dairy Queen began to sell the Blizzards in candy flavors. There were just a few at that time, and it was quite the novelty. Now there are something like 25 different flavors of the Blizzard. My favorite is the …

Sargento Cheese Dips - Cheddar Dip & Zesty Ranch Bagel Chips make for a tasty and memorable snack. This snack consists of three “parts”: the bagel chips, the zesty ranch flavor that can be found already on the chips and the cup of cheddar dip. What I really like …

I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple variety to be a little on the dull side, both inside and out. The crust is pretty bland and boring while apple inside tastes as if the flavor is not quite real. The apple flavor does not come across as being …

Folgers makes a very good instant coffee, almost excellent I might add.
The flavor is rich, but not overwhelmingly. A teaspoon of Coffee in a hot mug of water first thing in the morning without having to wait on the drip or the percolater is just what I need …

Once in a while I enjoy a nice warm cup of chili; usually, I use canned chili, and one of the best brand out there is, in my opinion, Hormel. It is rich in flavor, mildly spicy (I don’t like it when it’s too peppery), and filling. Hormel sells …

Oshee’s new isotonic beverages with vitamins and minerals have been made available in local stores where I live just lately, and I was reluctant to try them out, because I’m never particularly into energy drinks, which is what I associate Oshee with. However, the name “H2O” gave me the …

I like a good coffee. But, in my mind, cappuccino isn’t really “coffee” proper - to me, it’s more of a “dessert”, or more accurately, a comfort drink. The problem is, sometimes I feel I really need more than one such comfort drink - and then caffeine starts piling up.
Luckily …

When my daughter was first diagnosed as lactose intolerant I was clueless as to the type of soy based milk I should use as a replacement to the cow’s milk we had been using at home. A colleague recommended that I try the Almond Breeze range of products. She …

This is a product …

Stouffer’s Lasagna Bake with Meat Sauce is decent, although by no means fabulous. The pasta itself is fairly tender, although does not offer much else to the meal. The seasoned sauce spread over the ground beef does give the meal a certain flavor kick to it that I do …

I’m not the healthiest food eater in the world. In fact, I’m far from it. I’m a persnickety eater, especially with foods that say they are healthy. I need that old school taste that I grew up with. I have, however, found a couple of …

Having a love for all that is drinkable and edible, I guess I just never stop trying new things and criticizing or praising them as needed. As for today’s topic, I am commenting about Chowking’s NaiCha or Milk Tea. Well, first of all this is a cold drink served …

Anlene fresh milk that comes in 250 ml package is my latest favorite among fresh milk today. I am a milk drinker but not so much on fresh milk because I dreaded its dry unsweetened taste, but as I turned 30 several years ago I am increasingly concerned about …

This is a frozen boxed food that doesn’t have any sauce at all. It’s just spinach, plain and simple. While this frozen boxed spinach can’t compare with fresh spinach found in the produce section at supermarkets, it’s not that bad. The spinach in this box isn’t all chopped up …

Jimmy Dean Heat ‘N Serve Sausages - Regular is another product I buy off and on from this long time breakfast favorite. With the passage of years I probably buy it less than I used to simply because I’ve discovered newer Jimmy Dean products that I prefer more.
This …

I recently started liking Shirley Biscuits even though I had not liked the taste of them and therefore had not eaten them for years. These “Shirley Biscuits” are little rectangular tea biscuits with a cute little design of a cottage in the middle of them. The original Shirley tea …

I went home for lunch today and needed something that was both easy to make and would hold me over until dinner (mostly because I forgot to buy some snacks for my desk at work).
I honestly couldn’t find too much since we haven’t done a lot of grocery shopping …

Honey Roasted Peanuts is a very experimental way of peanuts from Albertsons. I purchased Albertsons Honey Roasted Peanuts at around four dollars for 340 grams. The price may be little over than I expect but I give full marks for this innovative product. The peanuts are well roasted with …

The cherry pies sold at Kroger found in the bakery section are not that great. Actually, that is quite an understatement. The cherry pie is just downright horrible for the reasons that I am about to cover. Unlike the other pie varieties that I have tried, this is one …

While you can find Kernel Season’s seasonings near the popcorn and other popcorn seasonings in most stores, the Kernel Season’s seasoning shakers don’t actually say “popcorn seasoning” on them. That’s because these seasonings can be sprinkled over more than just popcorn. I’ve used them on various kinds of potatoes, …

I am always on the lookout for ways to liven up meals in my house. I confess that I am not much of a cook. I also work long hours and do not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals. On …

Apple Cider Vinegar a product that I hate to be without in my household. I use it for so many different things that when I run out I honest feel like dropping to my knees crying, shaking my fists in the air. A few years ago I could only …

These vegetables crackers aren’t all that spectacular. A mixture of garden vegetables are supposed to be baked into these crackers, and they are: onion, red and green peppers, garlic, tomato, carrots and celery. The most prominent flavor contained in these crackers are the red and green peppers. I’m definitely …

Legacy Bakehouse Mix—˜n More Original Recipe Snack Mix is my second favorite of the snack mixes available from Legacy Bakehouse, ahead of the buffalo variety but behind the garlic variety. This is the original recipe variety, so there is no “main” or “primary” flavor that coats each and every …

When I found this package named Albertsons Bacon in the rack, I first did not notice it much. I many times choose bacon strips when I go to fast food restaurants. This made me think of having bacon strips at home itself which paved way to buy Albertsons Bacon. …

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.

Today I decided to order and try the new Tuscani lasagna by pizza hut which I had seen the ad for a few days. I don’t get to order food often, most of my meals are home cooked so I thought I’d give it a try. It looked delicious …

Time and time again, it has been proven that peanut butter and chocolate go extremely well together. Reese’s candy pretty much thrives on this flavor combination. Nabisco has also taken advantage of this, releasing Peanut Butter Chips Ahoy where chocolate chips are put in peanut butter cookies.
They …

I know what you’re thinking. How can anyone submit a review for perhaps the blandest, most uninspiring sandwich that McDonald’s “manufactures” in its franchises. But those who skip over this little sandwich on the fast food menu are missing out on something: simple goodness. Packing in …

When I started out with a new job, I tend to overwork. I usually have 8 hour work and sometimes I could not even squeeze in to eat anything at all. I feel that sometimes I am near to fainting and the only thing I could do is to …

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 …

Sleepytime tea is the perfect tea for those who want a mild and delicious drink at the end of the day. I sometimes think it’s hard to find a good tasting tea that doesn’t overpower you and that doesn’t have loads of caffeine. Sleepytime tea is caffeine free and …

I’m still a student, so I have to wake up at 6:30 every morning to get to school on time. Because of this, I usually don’t have enough time to eat a real breakfast, or even cereal and milk for that matter. However, I recently discovered the Special K …
