Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is now certified Fair Trade. This is such a relief for me, being a chocoholic with ethics can be difficult because many chocolate manufacturers do not guarantee a fair trade for developing world producers. It’s more important now, given recent news reports on …

This yoghurt is great. I really like the texture of it, very smooth, and not at all watery or lumpy. It is a fat free yoghurt, and I buy it in the packs of small containers. I like to eat one with a bit of granola on top, or …

Recently my parents brought home two tins of Ramson’s Vegetarian Baked Beans. Upon seeing the title I imagined that the beans might taste a little different from the other brands that we were used to buying , but as it turns out that wasn’t the case. The word “vegetarian” …

We don’t need to introduce Big Red Gum as we can find it on every checkout line. There is nothing better than a piece of Big Red Gum on a hot summer afternoon. Big Red Gum has become notorious with that bold cinnamon flavor.
I love Big Red Gum because …

There are so many varieties of tea’s out there, and I have tried many of them. One tea that I find to be particularly delicious and soothing is Bentley’s English Breakfast Tea. It’s great with added ingredients and just fine by itself.
I had thought as a child that this …

It took about a week but I ended up catching the cold my wife and daughter had last week over the New Years holiday.
It was a bad one too. I know this because I had no appetite; something that is rare for me because I usually eat like a …

I tried this brand of muffin one early morning. It was a small muffin that was prepackaged and could be easily heated in the plastic for convenience. Along with strawberry yogurt, apple juice and milk, the blueberry muffin was pretty tasty. Whenever I’m getting premade muffins, I get them from …

My experience with Texas Pepper Works Queso Blanco White Cheese Dip - Mild was not at all pleasant. I seriously could not stomach this stuff it was so positively bad. One chip with this dip actually ended up being much too much for me. The reason I dislike this …

I got myself a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker when I went down to my local Wal-Mart in search of an Iced Tea Maker. Surprise surprise, this was the only model they had, so I didn’t have much choice in the matter. I figured that with a …

McDonalds is known for their greasy, unhealthy food, and their trademark double cheeseburger is no different. It is made with two hamburger patties, two slices of American cheese, a few pickles, some diced onion, and ketchup, between two standard buns. It sounds like any other American cheeseburger, but it’s …

After eating my very first Michelina’s Lean Gourmet product, I really wasn’t expecting much from their Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls. In fact, I never would have purchased this product, or the other two I did at the same time, had I been aware that Michelina’s is essentially Weight …

Do you know what “adobo” is? It’s actually a Filipino dish which is a soy sauce based meat recipe. Does it good? Well for me it is cause I’m a Filipino and I grew up with it. People from outside my country may think this will be another scary …

When I was growing up, …

I find Purnell’s Old Folks: Country Sausage & Biscuits to be halfway decent, really. It is not easy at all to find frozen breakfast sausage that actually tastes like breakfast sausage, but in this case of this product, I was pleasantly surprised by the authentic and enjoyable flavor contained …

I’m never quite satisfied when it comes to frozen broccoli. Frozen broccoli just doesn’t have the same freshness and same degree of flavor that fresh broccoli has.

I often have to drive long distances. Sometimes, I do it in company. If I’m with the family, there’s always someone to keep me chatting. I can listen to music to stay alert. It’s when it gets dark and people doze off that danger can occur. The same thing …

We all have been told to “eat your bran” cereal, and just the sound of it makes you turn up your nose. I have been fortunate to actually try Kellogg’s All Bran cereal and it is not quite half bad, it actually grows on you, the more you …

I first discovered this drink a few years ago when a Starbucks opened up near to my work. An Indian friend recommended chai to me, and so when I saw this drink I was keen to try it. I’m a big tea drinker, and I am always …
