I’m old enough to remember when Pringles first came out on the market; or at least became popular enough where people actually heard of them.
And, throughout the years, the chips have made some interesting claims ranging from being whole chips because they are in a can and not in …

I made a package of potato and onion pierogies from Kasia’s last night and was extremely disappointed by this product.
I had bought them expecting them to be convenient to make (they advertised themselves as heat and serve). Instead, I had to wait for them to thaw first. I was …

I wanted macaroni and cheese last night but didn’t want one that had powdered cheese and didn’t want to spend a fortune on a more expensive brand name like Velveeta. So, I ended up buying Food Club Shells and Cheddar Dinner.
First of all, I’m not 100% sure why they …

One of my gifts from my in-laws this past Christmas was a container of Fancy Farms Australia Fancy Cashews.
Because I know they don’t have a lot of money to spend during the holidays, I figure they picked up this particular gift at a dollar store. However, I will say …

Every so often I run across a candy bar that I can’t find anywhere in the US normally. One such incident occurred recently when I found myself the proud recipient of the Cadbury Wunderbar. This bar is fairly popular in the UK and Germany as well as other parts …

The Vanilla Classic ice cream from New Zealand Ice Cream was one of my favorites of all the varieties I tried from the company. Vanilla ice cream isn’t my favorite, nor does it fall anywhere on my list of favorite flavors. I typically like basic flavors without a lot …

I have to say that I’m a little particular when it comes to cookies and cream flavored ice cream. Unless the ice cream itself is really good, I won’t like it. I’ve had a lot that used cheap ice cream and loaded it down with cookies to make it …

Mango is one of my favorite flavors and I even love the fake mango flavor used in candy that doesn’t usually taste anything like the real fruit. New Zealand Ice Cream is kind of hit or miss with me, while some of their flavors are worth the inflated price …

Butterscotch is something that I hate for the most part. It reminds me of butterscotch candies that my grandpa used to force on me when I stayed with them, or the butterscotch pudding that they served in my school cafeteria. Hokey Pokey from New Zealand Ice Cream is billed …

New Zealand Natural Ice Cream is pretty hard, especially around me but it’s also really good. Unfortunately it’s also a little expensive so I consider it a luxury item and not something I’d buy unless I had a good week or a little extra money to spare. When I …

Let me start off by saying that I’m not a big fan of Mexican candy. I’ve tried some in the past and while I like a lot of the chocolate flavored stuff, everything else I usually ignore. There’s a small Mexican booth in one of my local flea markets …

One of my roommates in college really loved the chewy sweetarts but she especially loved the sour ones. I never really liked sour candy and the smell alone was enough to drive me crazy. I never really liked the candy at all, but I was kind of intrigued when …

Arby’s has worked on changing their image for a number of years now, offering more upscale items such as their market-fresh sandwiches and other items. What it all comes down to in my mind though is the roast beef. They’ve always been the place to go for the best …

These were without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m a twenty something woman who knows how great an icy cold margarita can be after a hard day. I’ve also been known to do a few tequila shots with my friends …

Spicy Bloody Mary Chips were released by the same company that makes Beer Chips. They’re working on creating different types of chips that incorporate the taste of alcoholic drinks, but without including any alcohol in the mixture. Their beer chips were pretty good, but I didn’t really like the …

Beer Chips was such a cute little novelty that when I saw them on the store shelves, I knew I had to buy them. Maybe it’s just me, but the thought of chips flavored like beer was just something I couldn’t pass up. The chips themselves come in a …

Celeste brand has been around for a long time, and they were one of the first old time companies to come along with a pizza sized for just one person. Celeste Pizza for One can be baked in an oven or for those in a hurry, microwaved.
Most of …

Sunnyside Farms produces a lot of foods for Bel Air Markets. Sometimes they do well, and sometimes not so well. After purchasing their vanilla sandwiches over many years, I can firmly say that these sandwiches are simply okay.
I purchase Sunnyside Farms vanilla sandwiches because they are economically …

Just about my all time favorite treat for decades has been from See’s Candies. It’s their peppermints, primarily the milk chocolate variety. They do have a dark chocolate, but I’ve never been a dark chocolate affectionado, for some reason.
The Milk Chocolate Peppermints really do satisfy me and …

I confess — I’m not big on organics. I’m traditional with my food, and organic products tend to cost more than regular foods, but I recently took a chance and purchased Newman’s Own Organics - Champion Chip Cookies. I was prepared to hate them. I hesitantly broke …

Hormel Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon is a product I’ve enjoyed using for quite a while now. Bacon is such a messy thing to cook sometimes, that having a fully cooked product is a pleasure.
I’ve used Hormel Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon in different ways. One of …

My family has long used Kraft cheese products, but recently, we tried some other brands. They were cheaper and made a lot of the same claims as this item. Having used these alternatives, though, leads me to the conclusion that this specific product, Kraft Finely Shredded Mozzarella …

This brand is just everywhere now so it’s of little surprise to me that one of the products I’m now purchasing with some regularity is Sara Lee Gourmet White Hot Dog Buns. On the plus side, there aren’t any artificial colors or flavors, and there’s no trans fat …

I fully admit to having a love of Jelly Belly jellybeans. They were the first (and maybe only) company to make Dr. Pepper flavored jellybeans and they have a lot of flavors that you just can’t find anywhere else. They are now making suckers, which they call Lollibeans. I …

Andes Mints are something that I was likely to find during the holidays when I was a child. Every year it seemed like my parents bought a box and kept them in the cupboards for those times when company came over. If they didn’t buy a box, the odds …

I admit it, I don’t really like Altoid mints. I’m more of a Tic-Tac kind of girl because I like things that are fruit flavored. As a smoker though, I’m always trying to find things that taste good and hide my smoker breath, without tasting too extreme. That’s the …

Christmas time is when my friends and family scattered around the world start sending me candy to share at the holidays. I have a lot of friends living in different parts of the US and since they know how much I love candy, they’re always trying to send me …

My mom tends to keep a random mismatch of candy around their house, just for those days when the grandkids decide to drop by or she finds herself unexpectedly baby-sitting. She usually buys a few popular candies, but she also likes to stock the house with the things she …

Bakeries always smell wonderful, all of them; the good ones usually have a great variety of baked goods, and some even have delicatessens. In the picturesque town of Steveston, in Richmond, B.C. where you can buy fish from the fishing boats moored in the harbour, there are many small …

I personally have not found many Weight Watchers brand snack items that I have enjoyed. To my delight, I have discovered a “favorite” in the new 2009 Cappuccino Cream Melts!
When I first tried one of the candies, it was 2:00 p.m. and I felt like I was on …

Nabisco’s Ritz Crackers have been around a long time, and I’ve been a fan of these treats for a long time, too. A lot of folks like to eat Ritz with peanut butter, cheese, or some other filling, but I’m just a basic Ritz eater — give me …

I’ve been a pretty loyal user of Orville Redenbacher’s microwave popcorn for years so just prepared a bag of their newest product — Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Popcorn. Per the bag, it has a reduced cooking time. Other flavors are also available, but I’ve only had the natural …

Whenever I shop for pot pies, I try to balance quality with price. I want something that is filling and tastes great. But, I also hate spending more than a $1 each on them.
That’s why I ended up purchasing Swanson Turkey pot pies the other day. They looked like …

A couple nights ago, my wife and I realized neither of us was in the mood to make dinner. So, on my way home, I stopped by Recheks Food Pride here in Beaver Dam, WI and picked up some roasted chicken from their deli.
While not as good as KFC …

I got this tea selection for my birthday, and as tea is one of my favourite things, I loved this present! The teas are presented in a lovely big, green cardboard box, with a beautiful eastern, flowery design.
There are 160 teabags in there, so it should …

Everywhere you look, there seems to be some type of 100 calorie snack or snack pack around on the store shelves. I’ve tried a lot of these over the years and there are a few I like and a few that I don’t. Hershey’s has started making a couple …

Atkinson’s Long Boys were a new type of candy for me, though not for the rest of the world. These candies have been around for at least 60 years, but I had never heard of them before. I’m the type of person who loves to try new things no …

Charms Blow Pops have long been a favorite of mine. I love the taste of the candy on the outside and working my way down to the gum on the inside. The gum itself usually doesn’t last nearly as long as the candy, but it’s still pretty good. I …

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 …

Lifesavers have always been one of those candies that I like, but don’t seek out on my own. The reason is that they remind me a little too much of my grandmother, who used to carry them around in the bottom of her purse and give one to me …

I thought this would be good because I love white chocolate and I wasn’t disappointed. My main problem is that this type of toffee is so hard to find. I actually had to have a family member ship me some just so I could try it and then I …

I’ve never been a big fan of Dove Chocolates, mainly because they tend to be expensive and for no good reason that I can see. I’ve never ate the ice cream or tried any of their candies until this last week. I was standing in line at the grocery …

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 …

Bob’s Blueberry Candy Canes aren’t that new, at least I don’t think they are. I found them at a drugstore in my area and decided to grab a box for my nieces and nephews. I thought they would make a cute addition to the top of my presents. One …

The Dark Chocolate Lavender Tablette is a limited edition chocolate from a small company in Canada. It’s not something that I would ever seek out on my own, but a friend brought back a few bars for me after a trip up north. He knew that I loved candy …

I’ve been following the Hershey Kisses lineup for awhile now because they keep releasing different varieties. I love the original Hershey Kisses because they provide that little dose of chocolate that I sometimes need to get me through the day and they aren’t full of calories if you limit …

I love rice. There isn’t a day that comes by that I won’t include rice in any of my meals. During lunch breaks at school, I need to eat any meal as long as it has rice. This kind of meal gives me energy for the rest of the …

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 …

I always wonder how Fast food chains such as Jollibee and Mc Donald’s make such wonderful and very tasty chicken gravy to the point that I want to deep my finger in it and lick my finger afterwards.
And because my two kids also want chicken gravy too …

I have been using Knorr Chicken Broth Cubes for cooking for more than ten years now and it never disappointed me in making each food I cook delicious and satisfying.
When I was still learning how to cook, I used chicken stock as my base in chicken recipes and believe …
