What attracted me to try this sandwich was not the chicken, or the applewood-smoked bacon, or the smoked cheddar, or even Panera’s tomato basil loaf bread. It was the ancho chipotle spread, which is a creamy, spicy and smoky spread that’s supposed to meld the components of the …

I’m a loyal customer when it comes to purchasing potato products by Ore Ida. I especially like their shredded hash browns, but I have not had the pleasure of trying their French fries. When it comes to store bought French fries, I’m not fan because the test kitchen ovens …

BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …

Dark Chocolates are really my favorite. I have tasted Nestlé’s dark chocolate and well it was my favorite dark chocolate because it was cheap too. The taste is not too sweet and not to thick in cocoa. Just recently though, I got a Hershey’s dark chocolate, a huge bar! …

I am the first to admit that I am not the world’s greatest gardener, but usually I am able to grow pretty good tomatoes. The one exception is the beefsteak variety. Even the brand of beefsteak tomatoes seems to make little difference. The tomatoes plants do fine and even …

Sometimes generic or store-brand products are just as good, if not better, than the big name brands. This is the case with Jewel brand Ginger Ale, which is sold at all Jewel-Osco grocery stores in both two-liter bottles and 12-packs. Just yesterday, I compared the price os …

Bestlife Buttery Spread is an alternative to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread. Both spreads offer a spread that mimics the flavor of butter without the partially hydrogenated oils. It’s an alternative that I turn to when I don’t have a coupon for the I Can’t Believe …

I decided to give another selection of the skittles brand a try. This typical selection was called the Darkside skittles. Now my first thought was that these were supposed to be some special seasonal flavors that you would find around Halloween time. You know hence the ‘dark side’ name. But …

Ok, I really need to rant about this soda that I just saw in a store and bought. It was Gross!!! No seriously, don’t drink it! Lol. The name of the soda is called “St. Nick’s Candy Cane Cola”. The only way to describe this is to call it …

I always associate diet food with unremarkable taste. I don’t really like yogurt, and sugar-free food tends to taste a bit dry. Then I tried Quaker Oats oatmeal cookies. They don’t come cheap, especially compared to most other cookies most people are used to. However, the benefits are well …

I love Betty Crocker Warm Delights. Each package is an individual dessert. Warm Delights come in their own plastic bowl. You just add the required amount of water, stir and top with drizzle or crumb topping. Microwave it for a minute or less, and you …

Coke is one of my favorite soda since my childhood days. It is refreshing and has a good sweet taste that really relieve me from thirst. This soda is much better to drink with a lot of ice cubes or has been chilled to refrigerator for an hour. We …

Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast: it tastes great (if cooked right), it doesn’t take much time to cook, it’s healthy, it suites most people’s needs (it’s usually vegan, it’s gluten free and I don’t know anybody who’s allergic to oatmeal) and it’s cheap. Seriously, is there a better breakfast option? …

My mom brought these home as an experiment to see if they would make good appetizers. I only got around to trying them yesterday. I admit, I didn’t look at the package real closely. I assumed these were mini cheeseburgers, aka sliders.
I followed the microwave directions to a tee, …

Anyone who lives in the United States has seen a commercial for Digiorno pizza. Their big claim is that you cannot tell the difference between this pizza and delivery pizza. I have tried several varieties of this brand and yes, you can tell the difference. This …

I’ve grown up on the Betty Crocker brand, including their cake mixes. One of the ones I’ve had probably more than other is the Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix. In my family, the yellow mix has been prepared because we view it as a middle …

I’m trying to lose a little bit of weight and, one way I am doing that (successfully, I might add), is by cutting back on the amount of soda I drink simply by not drinking any while I’m at work; just water.
A side effect of that is, by 2 …

I’m not a huge hamburger helper meal lover. I’ve tried the no name hamburger helper meals and decided in the future I would pass. This one the Family Size Lasanga Hamburger Helper by Betty Crocker was actually pretty good.
It comes in a 335g box that includes egg noodles and …

Hershey’s: Strawberry Syrup is a syrup that is alright, but I was a little disappointed with. The strawberry syrup seemed to have a flavor that was not really very authentic. It had a slight artificial flavor to it that I did not like. What strawberry flavor that I did …

Yesterday I bought 2 Vindija cream yogurts, one had a taste of vanilla and one had a taste of stracciatella. I must admit that I likes vanilla one more. I am very fond of stracciatella ice cream so each time I see a stracciatella yoghurt I can’t resist it. …

These have to be my favorite chip ever, and have been for years. I love that Sun Chips has offered a multigrain chip, even long before the whole “green” trend started. They aren’t your typical chip, they have a much lower fat content that regular chips and when eating …

It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …
