Paton’s Macadamia Nuts Covered in Rich Dark Chocolates
I received a box of Paton’s Macadamia Nuts Covered in Rich Dark Chocolate as a christmas gift from my cousin who vacationed in Beijing. The box had a big sign that read China with a picture of the Great Wall which made me believe that this was made in …
Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker Snacks
I used to love buying the “Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker Snacks” for some time when I was a teenager since I loved cheesy snacks, especially ones which had real cheese in them. I also liked the “Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker Snacks” because I had recently learned about the ingredient …
Bremer Steamers Brown Rice
Bremer Steamers Brown Rice is a pretty decent product that makes reasonably tasty ans satisfying rice. It’s pretty easy to make too, which is nice because when I’m fixing a meal to have for dinner, I just have to stock this bag in the microwave and let it cook. …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Chicken & Pasta Parmesan
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Chicken & Pasta Parmesan is a meal that I like. It is not the tastiest meal that I have ever purchased from the frozen food section of the grocery store, but I do enjoy having it. What I like about this meal is the chicken …
Snapple Iced Tea
Snapple Lemon Iced Tea is by far my favorite brand and flavor of iced tea. It is the perfect blend of bitter and sweet with an excellent consistency. Snapple is not to watery or too thick. There are many other flavor such as blueberry, peach, and …
Nature Valley Crunchy Peanut Butter Granola Bars
I picked up a package of Nature Valley Crunchy Peanut Butter Granola Bars, one evening when finding them on sale at my neighborhood Kroger’s grocery store. I always choose the original oat’s n honey flavor, but I decided that I would switch it up and get the peanut butter …
Biscotti Baileys Cream Liqueur
Baileys is definitely my drink of choice and I love the majority of new flavours which are available now. I have recently however sampled the Biscotti flavour and must say I’m not completely impressed with it, the flavour seeming extremely harsh compared to other Baileys and spoiling the …
Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Sandwiches
Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Sandwiches are pretty tasty! What makes them even more appetizing is the price: just two dollars for twelve ice cream sandwiches! That value is downright chillingly good! The quality of the ice cream sandwiches is surprisingly high considering how cheap they sell for. The chocolate …
Giada De Laurentis for Target Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
Giada De Laurentis is one of my favorite Food Network stars, so I was really excited to try out her line of sauces and oils at Target. While I am a big fan of most of them, this sun-dried tomato pesto is definitely not one I will be buying …
100 Grand candy bar
Recently, I purchased one of those candy combination packages that you find at a warehouse store. These are great values as a rule and that’s why I tend to buy them from time to time. This particular one included a few 100 Grand candy bars, which is …
Sainsbury’s Finest Clotted Cream Scones
I wanted some really special scones as I had been having cravings for scones with fresh cream and jam for some reason and I spotted the perfect candidates in Tesco’s bakery section —“ Tesco Finest Clotted Cream Scones in a four-pack. They just look really spectacular —“ quite …
Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water - 32/16.9 oz
This review is for Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water that comes in the expanded 32 pack of 16.9 oz bottles. When I last purchased this, I paid just $3.49 for each package purchased.
In my opinion, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water is clean tasting. Now I’m not sure we, the …
Banquet Beef Pot Pie
I have found that I can enjoy a really good pot pie. I had always thought that meat and pie could not possibly go together, but was wrong when I tried one that a friend of mine made. The last time I went grocery shopping I decided to try …
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 …
Aldi Food Stores in Pittsburgh, PA
Aldi Markets are small self-service discount grocery stores with reasonable prices on bulk items, mostly dry goods and everyday staples. The stores I’ve visited in the Pittsburgh area remind me of tiny Costco-like stores. I just returned to the East Coast, so I don’t know how long …
Kallo Whole Earth Organic Classic Cornflakes breakfast cereal
These corn flakes are a bit of an unusual choice if you, like me, are generally the sort of person who sticks to either the supermarkets’ own brands or the traditional fall back of Kellogg’s. They are also fairly expensive, with my local Sainsbury’s supermarket selling only a smallish …
Great Value Peas
We needed to stock up on some canned goods this past weekend because it had been a month or so since we went grocery shopping and, quite honestly, we were running very low.
One of the things we picked up was canned peas. We did this because it is the …
Ben and Jerry’s Vanilla Caramel Fudge Ice Cream
For the last few years, I’ve enjoyed Dreyer’s Fudge Swirl Ice Cream. It was wonderful, and it was the only variety of ice cream that I’d found in decades that matched the marble fudge ice cream I’d enjoyed as a child. I was frustrated to learn just …
Little Debbie Spirit of America Marshmallow Treats
It is a shame that the only thing that generally separates one marshmallow treat from another are the colors. These Little Debbie Spirit of America Marshmallow Treats are no different really from the other Little Debbie marshmallow treats which in turn are no different from Rice Krispies treats. This …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish
I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …
Purefoods Corned Beef
First of all, I really like Purefoods Corned Beef amongst every other Corned Beef products here in the Philippines. The taste is very unique because other brands can seem to pick up with the taste of this Corned Beef. This product has been so long in the …
So Delicious Coconutmilk Butter Pecan ice-cream (No sugar added)
I love the ice-cream and I’ve tried all kinds of it: regular cream-based, low-calorie, low-sugar, low-carb, low-fat, vegan. But never have I tried vegan ice-cream with no sugar in it. This one looked interesting to me since that seems to be the only low-sugar vegan ice-cream. I picked the “Butter …
Idaho Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I used to think that no instant mashed potatoes can compare with the real, homemade stuff, time-consuming as it is to make it from scratch. My family thought so as well, and homemade mashed potatoes have always been a special and appreciated treat in our house. That was until …
Kadoya Brand Pure Sesame Oil
Kadoya Brand Pure Sesame Oil is a product from Japan that I like to order from off of the Internet. I think that cooking in sesame oil is a good way to have flavor without a lot of the heavy fats that can clog up the arteries. Using Kadoya …
Entenmann’s Frosted Pop’ems
Entenmann’s Frosted Pop’ems are essentially small and compacted donuts that lack an opening in the center. Only one or two bites are required before these pop’ems are no more. They are quite small and ideal for snacking. Well, they would be ideal if the frosted pop’ems had a better …
Gatorade Propel Vitamin Water
I often drink something before I work out. I helps me maintain good strength and endurance while doing cardio and can accomplish the repetitions that I will have. My program as given by my personal trainer is all about toning. I am not really fat but I just need …
Mrs. Freshley’s Peach Pie
I did not care for Mrs. Freshley’s Peach Pie all that much. The reason that I did not care for it is because the peach flavor was not what I was expecting. Although I am really not all that crazy about peaches, I do enjoy having them once and …
Wylwood Sliced Beets
Wylwood Sliced Beets are canned cooked beets that you simply open, warm up and eat. They are sweet and juicy; I suppose if you just boil fresh beets with some sugar you will achieve similar result. While I do like beets and make several dishes with them, I am …
Oscar Mayer Selects Premium Beef Franks
Hotdogs are one of the most popular foods in America. They are also one of the least healthy foods in America. Most hotdogs are terrible for your health, especially because they are not only very processed and contain disease-causing ingredients, but they also contain pork, which is …
Jersey Mike’s Subs
A message for all of you sandwich connoisseurs out there–JERSEY MIKE’S SUBS. I discovered the small sandwich chain after my neighbor gave me coupons for their trademark giant subs. I decided to give it a try, thinking that it couldn’t be much worse than …
Klondike Caramel Pretzel Bars
Klondike bars have a special place in my heart because of my grandmother. It didn’t matter when we went to her house, she always had a pile of them in the freezer and she was always quick to sneak us one before our parents could say anything. Since I …
EnviroKidz Organic Amazon Frosted Flakes Cereal 14 Ounce
Whenever we go to Whole Foods in Ann Arbor, Michigan my kids beg for EnviroKidz Organic Amazon frosted Flakes cereal. We first tried it when we were assessing whether we had gluten intolerance or Celiac issues with my oldest son. Since EnviroKidz Organic Amazon Frosted Flakes cereal is gluten …
Lucky Me Instant Noodles
I sometimes forget to eat at lunchtime but never do I skip my breakfast. For some this is odd but for me this is actually just fine. I can’t be as enthusiastic as I should be to do my daily activities without eating my breakfast. One hot noodles, bread …
Mrs. Dash’s Southwest Chipotle Salt-Free Seasoning Blend
I like Mrs. Dash’s salt-free blends. I think they’re a great alternative to other forms of seasoning that have lots of sodium. I really think they try hard to create the best possible flavor mixtures without adding salt.
Their Southwest Chipotle blend is perfect for any dish that calls for …
Rockstar energy drink
All you energy drink fans, I just tried a rockstar energy drink for the first time not to long ago. At first it tasted gross, I mean I could barely drink it and I usually like energy drinks but rockstar just tasted different for some reason. So, …
Charles Soca
I love sweets and chocolate and you can not imagine how delighted I was when the Charles chocolate company brought out a product by the name of Soca. Now you may wonder why I was so excited about this product. Well only because of it’s lovely center which is …
Diana Nut Krak’r
Now I am sure you guys are thinking, what is a Nut Krak’r? Simply put, it is peanut brittle, Trinidad style. There are quite a few brands of Nut Crackers available here in my country and Diana Nut Krak’r is one of those.
It is so funny to actually look …
Diet Dr. Thunder Soda
While I do like the classic drink that is Dr. Pepper, sometimes it can be just a little too sweet for me, even in diet form, which has the notorious “diet soda aftertaste.” One day, when the local Wal-Mart was out of Dr. Pepper, I decided to give …
Lambertz Exquisit biscuits Coco-flour
When I first discovered cookies with coconuts I was rather young and I really adored them for quite some time, then somehow I stopped eating them and I wasn’t actually paying any attention to them because I discovered cookies with chocolate chips which I liked much more. But the …
Selecta Ice Cream Stick Very Rocky Road
Ice cream is really one of my favorites. However, since I’ve been eating ice cream too much in the past, I’ve experienced an increase in my blood sugar. Now, I’ve been trying to minimize it. I’m glad that there’s Selecta ice cream sticks because I can be able to …
Nestle Rolo Cookies
These lovely big cookies, called Rolo Cookies from Nestle, were going cheap at Sainsbury’s and I just had to have them. They only cost me 50 pence, reduced from one pound and for that you get five big, thick, crumbly cookies. They are called Rolo Cookies because …
Kellogg’s Corn Pops with Fiber Cereal
Growing up, we shopped at Costco where we only had access to the trio of sugary cereals: Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, and Trix. I never got to try any other type of cereal other than those three and Raisin Bran. Now older, I have no desire to …
Danish Butter Cookies
One of my favorite gifts I got for Christmas this year was two tins of the Danish Butter Cookies. That may seem odd to some people. I however like some of the simplest things in life more than the expensive gifts people give. You see I love the rich …
Kellogg’s Cereal in a Cup
This assortment pack is nice because it gives a variety of cereals like Raisin Bran Crunch, Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and a good helping of each, too! I am able to enjoy a wide variety of healthy and not so healthy cereal and I am able to find …
Minute Maid Fruit Punch Juice
I love Minute Maid Fruit Punch and it’s certainly my most favorite brand of fruit punch juice. Minute Maid Fruit Punch is available in my different containers and sizes. I love the fact that I am able to enjoy a small bottle Minute Maid Fruit Punch …
Horlicks
I am the mother of 3 children. Naturally I love my kids and always struggle to do the best for them. My elder boy is 12 years old and he is good by all means but the only problem with him is, he is not having enough …
Tanduay Superior
Rums have always been among the more common drinks available almost everywhere. Among the rums we know of today is Tanduay Superior. Tanduay Superior is a twelve-year-old rum manufactured by La Tondeña, a Philippine rum maker.
I, personally, rate the quality of a drink through its aftertaste. When I first …
Monster Energy Drinks
I’ll admit it: I’m addicted to energy drinks. But my complaint about most energy drinks is that they taste horrible. The reason I love Monster energy drinks is because they deliver great taste and a refreshing boost of energy.
I think my favorite Monster beverage is Monster Mixxd. This drink …
Pepsi - 20 can pack
I absolutely love Pepsi. It’s my favorite beverage. I’m a hundred percent loyal to it, and can’t stand its competitor, Coke. I often say that Pepsi is my vice. I don’t see that changing. The soda market is highly competitive, and the various soda …
