Healthy Ones Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
Previously, I’ve purchased and reviewed Healthy Ones Smoked Ham. I loved it and have continued to purchase it, and now I’ve added Healthy Ones Oven Roasted Turkey Breast to my kitchen deli shelf.
Healthy Ones is certified by the American Heart Association for meeting its standards for saturated fat …
Crystal Geyser Natural Alpine Spring Water
Growing up, all I knew was tap water. It stayed that way until just ten or fifteen years ago. I’m not sure why I suddenly decided to try water that I had to buy, but I’m sure there was a catalyst that I’ve forgotten.
After some experimenting, I …
Hormel Natural Choice Carved Chicken Breast
To be honest, I’m always cautious when it comes to trying new meats. I’m very loyal to products I grew up with, and with all the scares in the news about this and that, I just like to stay with what I know and trust. However, when …
Chunkee Chewy Peanut Butter Choco Chip Cookies
As a mom, I must always provide variety to my son’s snacks. So whenever I go to the grocery I pick out new cookies from time to time. One time I got a pack of Chunkee Chewy Peanut Butter Choco Chip. This is relatively more expensive than the other …
Silk All Natural Soymilk Mint Chocolate
Silk All Natural Soymilk Mint Chocolate comes in a one quart container and retails for around three dollars and forty-nine cents. I wanted to give this variety of soymilk a try because I think the Silk All Natural Soymilk Chocolate variety has a pretty rich chocolate flavor and so, …

Michelina’s Frozen Entrees
Since I come home for lunch during the week, I have a limited amount of time to make a filling meal. In addition, my wife works nights and usually tries to eat something before she goes to work so she’s not snacking all night.
Because of this, frozen entrees are …
Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop
The Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop is really not that terrific, in my opinion. The reason I am not won over with these bomb pops is because of the flavor. There are supposed to be a multitude of flavors to be found on these bomb pops, but what …
Kolak Kure Green Chutney Flavour Maize Snacks
I tried a bag of Kolak Kure Green Chutney Flavour Maize Snacks for the first time today, but I would not buy these again. They may suit you if you have different tastebuds to me though. These come in a largeish, green and yellow 90g bag and …
Fritos
Fritos are the original corn chips, just like it says on all of their bright yellow and red packages. They’ve been a staple in our home for decades. Though they have different varieties and sizes now, I stick with the original size and scoop most of the …
Roseland Center Cut Pork Chops
I feel that the Roseland Center Cut Pork Chops are of high quality because of the flavor they offer and the tenderness of the pork chops when I cut and bite into them. These pork chops aren’t dull in taste and I don’t really add much to them, so …
Maggie cuppa mania (ready to eat noodles)
The Maggie cuppa mania is a product which is seen recently. It is another kind of interesting food product from the manufacturers of Maggie noodles. I have tasted all kinds of Maggie noodles such as the Maggie rice mania, Maggie veg palaw and the normal Maggie noodles. …
Haagen Dazs vanilla cookies cream
This ice cream brand is famous not only for being specially expensive, but also for its big variety of flavours and its taste.
I bought Haagen Dazs vanilla cookies cream in the 100 ml format, as I wanted to give a first try to that taste. The price is very …
Stouffer’s Corn Soufflé
Stouffer’s Corn Soufflé is not something that is going to appeal to a lot of people, I do not think. Even to people, like me, that have had this before, albeit not from Stouffer’s, might not enjoy this that much. I did not particularly care for this corn soufflé …
Trader Darwin’s Cold Pressed Flax Seed Oil
I had heard about the many benefits of flax seed oil. Namely that it is an important ingredient in keeping your skin moist and young looking.To acheive that end I decided to buy some flax seed oil one of the times I was at Trader Joe’s.For those of …
Coconut Brand Soy Sauce
Of all the brands of soy sauce I think Coconut Brand Soy Sauce. This simple tastes better than all other brands in the market. I used to think that all soy sauces are created equal. In fact whenever I shop, I would pick any brand of soy sauce and …
Chef Woo Szechuan Stir Fry Kit
I love making Chinese food at home, so when I found Chef Woo’s 160gram Szechuan Stir Fry Kit on sale for $1 I bought it immediately. Chef Woo is a respected name in packaged do-it-yourself Chinese food kits so I had high hopes for this package.
The Szechuan Stir Fry …
Teekanne Fruit kiss
I really like Teekanne teas because they all have very original and very nice flavor. Teekanne is a German brand of tea and it is not very easy to find it, only a few shops I know have this tea so I always buy more of them when I …
Bluebell Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream
I am a big eater of ice cream and have tried many brands and many flavours of ice cream over my lifetime. My favourite flavour of ice cream is cookies n’ cream and I found the perfect compliment to this ice cream when I tasted Bluebell’s Cookies n’ Cream …
MacDonalds McChicken Sandwich
In my early twenties, as I started to go off the Big Macs I turned to the McChicken Sandwich at MacDonalds after hearing good things about it. A piece of breaded chicken in a bun with mayonnaise and lettuce was actually pretty good. My only usual criticism of …
Liga Milk Break Cookies
I bought this Liga Milk Break Cookies for my children. I did not know that inside the cookies will be a lot of sugar. I thought it was just a normal biscuit or cookies.
No wonder the kids like it so much. I saw in the school that few …
Despar Frollini Noir cookies
I go mad about chocolate chips and I really like cookies so you can imagine that I adore chocolate chips cookies. Although these cookies are very popular in USA here in Europe they aren’t so it isn’t very easy to find them. I used to buy cookies with chocolate …
UFC Banana Ketchup
I just love using UFC Banana Ketchup! Where else can you find banana ketchup in the world? Only in the Philippines, I guess which makes me lucky to be born here. UFC Banana Ketchup is great on my hit recipes like spaghetti. My sandwiches are surefire hits when blended …
Great Value: Frozen Pancakes Buttermilk
Great Value: Frozen Pancakes Buttermilk are pretty bland and I did not enjoy them enough to purchase them again. One of the main reasons I did not care for these pancakes is because they felt apart very, very easily, which is no big surprise to me since water, not …
Cheerios
Cheerios have been a staple in my house for as long as I can remember. I had them when I was a kid, I had them as a teenager and I had them in my house for my childen and grandchildren.
Nowadays, they are pushing all the healthy …
FirstNice Peanut Chocolate
The other day at Lidl shop I saw FirstNice Peanut Chocolate; I like Snickers, which is also made of chocolate and peanuts so I wanted to try this chocolate too. It didn’t cost much, about 50 Euro cents so I decided to buy it, you get 100g of chocolate …
Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cookie Mix
With many people recently jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon(myself included), there have been more gluten free options down the grocery aisles. If you’re gluten intolerent as well, you know that it’s not very easy to find foods that are gluten free and actually taste really good, especially if you’re …
Banana Split
Banana Splits are really good. They are a really good dessert even for people who don’t really like bananas. Who would have ever thought that bananas would be good in ice cream? Well they are delicious, they don’t even really taste like bananas when they are in the ice …
Lady’s Choice Tuna Spread
This is another variation of the Lady’s Choice products made by Unilever. What I love about this sandwich spread is its very real taste as well as its health benefits. It is made up of real bits of tuna and a …
Cooper’s Five Cheese Texas Toast
It’s really something how it’s impossible to find a five cheese Texas Toast that actually comes out looking and tasting cheesy. No matter what brand I try, I’m always disappointed, but I keep searching because I enjoy cheese quite a lot and I’ve had four and five cheese pizzas …
Tofu Fried Rice
I love to eat Tofu Fried Rice once in awhile. This is a food menu that isn’t pretty hard to make, if you put in a bit of an effort.
For making this type of fried rice, I love to add a bit of vegetable stock to …
Corona Beer
Corona beer is unique in the taste and other great thing is the smoothness of the beer. I normally drink five to six bottles of Corona beer at a stretch easily. However the liquor content of six percentages makes it well a light beer compared with many other brands. …
Silk Pure Almond Milk
My son is lactose intolerant so we buy milk alternatives for him for drinking, cereal and mixing in recipes. I alternate between coconut and almond milks for variety and to offset the cost a little. One product I found that works very well for him is Silk Pure Almond …
Taco Bell Fiesta Steak Bowl: TV dinner
Fiesta Steak Bowlz —“ Taco bell TV dinner’s are a real rip off. When I saw these on the grocery store I had high hopes. Now I know that these are just glorified and over priced TV dinners that use a brand name to make more sales. I bought …
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 …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Garlic
I don’t see what’s so special about the Texas Toast from Pepperidge Farm. I never purchased the Texas Toast made by this company because it’s over three dollars a box until one day it was on sale for two dollars a box. I bought all four varieties because I …
Haggen Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin
I love muffins and I’m pleased to see the trend toward overly large, too sweet muffins seems to be coming to a close. Muffins are supposed to be a bread, not a cupcake.
Haggen Foods here in Bellingham seems to be correcting its previous tendency of cakeness and I am …
Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Funghi
I have long been a fan of Dr. Oetker desserts, and when their pizza went on sale at my local grocery store I quickly bought Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Funghi. To be honest, I had to laugh at the ‘Funghi’ part of the name as this is simply a …
Triscuit Garlic & Parmesan crackers
There was once a time when I absolutely hated Triscuit crackers. I always saw them on the commercials and they looked so good. But when I was younger, I tried them and was so disappointed by how much “texture” they had. Ironically, it is …
Original Wheat Thins
When I first tried this I really liked them, it was after a swim practice and my friend had some. I just wanted any food I could get my hand on so I grabbed the box, not even knowing what it is and thought they were great for a …
M.Y. San SkyFlakes Crackers
I don’t have a sweet tooth and I much prefer savory snacks. Talking about savory I love lightly salted potato chips, tapioca chips and raw banana chips. I do also love lighted salted roasted nuts.
I particularly like to keep lightly salted low fat crackers in office as I …
Altoids Cool Honey flavor mints
Altoids mints have always been a favorite of mine and I enjoy the various flavors so I was very excited when I saw a new one on the shelf. It’s new “cool honey” flavored mints, and comes in a cute little black and yellow bee-striped tin. I …
McDonald’s McGriddle (Bacon, Egg & Cheese)
The McDonald’s McGriddle with bacon, egg and cheese is not a McGriddle variety that I find very tasty. The reason is the bacon that McDonald’s uses is not all that flavorful or large. They typically put two thin strips of either undercooked or overcooked bacon on the sandwich, and …
Krusteaz Bakery Style Sugar Cookies
I do not have sugar cookies too often, but when I do, I generally pick up Krusteaz Bakery Style Sugar Cookies at the grocery store because these cookies, much like their other cookie mixes, do not disappoint. The sugar cookies that come from this mix are quite buttery and …
Auntie Anne’s Pretzels
While I was out shopping, I was dying of hunger and I needed a quick snack. I smelt something extremely delicious and following it, I came upon Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, a shop filled with delicious varieties of pretzels, from traditional salted to sweet cinnamon. Now, I am not a …
Lean Cuisine Lemon Chicken Frozen Entree
This is a great entrée offered by Lean Cuisine in their Spa Cuisine product line. I really like almost everything I’ve tried from this product line, because the dishes have a certain sophistication that is not often found in frozen meals. They also are fairly unique and not just …
Emmi Yogurt
I have always been a yougurt fan, and have recently discovered Emmi Yogurt. This yogurt is just like all the other “bigger named” yogurts, except it is often much cheaper in price. I can usually get a 6oz container of this yogurt for around $1 which is dea when …
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Wheat Bread
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Wheat Bread was tried by me for taking a break from usual white breads that I buy and also because of health conscious decision to get some whole grains in the diet. As the name suggest, the bread was soft and smooth. To my …
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Dough - 5lb tub
Okay, I admit it. I’m a cookie dough fiend. Half the fun of using dough to make cookies is eating the dough while you’re laying it out on the cookie sheet to be baked. Just be careful, though — too much dough can really do you …
