Dabour Hajmola candies
One first February we celebrated our son’s birthday. He is just four years old. My son loves to celebrate his birthday along with his friends and schoolmates. That is why I bought the big cake, new dress for him and I also bought some candies to …
Banquet Crock Pot Clasics
Due to not having a lot of free time sometimes between work and family activities, I am always on the lookout for quick and simple meals that taste good and are not junk food for those days when I have a lot going on. A friend of mine recommended …
Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate Bars
Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate is probably the all time favorite chocolate of Filipinos. Eating a bar of Choc-Nut would lead to one more and more and more. This is a unique blend of grinded peanuts and chocolates in one bite sized bar. For me it is just one bite …
Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Ramen noodle soup is not just for starving college kids. My college days are long behind me, but I still enjoy a flavorful bowl of ramen noodle soup. Maruchan is my favorite brand of ramen noodle soup and, until recently, I would …
Chick-fil-A Fruit Cup
The Fruit Cup side dish at Chick-fil-A is really quite enjoyable! This fruit cup is positively overflowing with fresh and flavorful fruit that makes of a scrumptious afternoon snack. I like to order this side dish and then save it for later in the day - maybe three hours …
NuGo Free’s Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Trail Mix Bar
Anyone with a lot of food sensitivities who’s trying to stay fit knows how difficult it can be trying to find protein bars or shakes that do not contain gluten, diary or soy as one of their main ingredients. I’m one of those people, so I’m always examining the …
Hilo Vienna Sausage (pork)
I have tasted many different brands of canned Vienna sausages from I used to be a little girl. However, recently after I had tasted a tin of the brand Hilo Vienna Sausage, I had become convince that that particular brand was the best one that I had ever tasted …
On the Go Bistro Macaroni & Cheese
Life is too short to cook from scratch, and with great products available like On the Go Bistro Macaroni & Cheese, you don’t have to!
I was on the hunt for a macaroni and cheese that rivaled Stouffer’s. I had only one requirement…no boiling water! …
Great Value Fruit Spins Cereal
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I decided to do some much needed grocery shopping recently and, because we needed to go there anyway, ended up at our local Walmart Super Center.
One of the items we needed was breakfast cereal because, once again, we seemed to …
Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …
Freschetta Supreme Pizza
Product description: Frozen pizza that promises 10 toppings and a thick crust. We found it on sale for about $6 the other day but it normally sells for around $8 in most of our stores.
What I liked about this product: Not much (more on that in a second). But, …
Archer Farms Italian Roast coffee
It’s strange, when I lived in Austin, Texas or even Houston I rarely drank coffee but ever since I moved to a small town in Arkansas I’ve had a cup almost every morning. At first I just bought Folgers but then one day as I was walking through the …
Nilgiris Paneer (cottage cheese)
Nilgiris paneer is very fresh and is only available in some of the shops or super markets which are famous or big. Nilgiris is the name of a company, which produces the many kind of milk products and even the bakery products. All the products produced by …
Special K cereal
The other day me and my mom went to the grocery store to grab some food for the house. My mom found a buy one get one free on kellogs brand cereals. We decided to go with something new called special k. Special k is a cereal with …
Great Day Breakfast: Original Mini Piggies ‘n Pancakes
Great Day Breakfast: Original Mini Piggies ‘n Pancakes is not something I will purchase again. The reason I will not purchase this breakfast meal again is because I did not care too much for the sausage that was contained within the pancake batter. The sausage did not offer much …
Sainsbury’s Belgian Chocolate Millionaire’s Shortbread
I spotted this chocolate and caramel shortbread in Sainsbury’s —˜food to go’ area of the supermarket and it looked gorgeous. It tasted absolutely delicious too and I can see this shortbread becoming a craze for me as I am buying another tomorrow. Considering it was not expensive, …
Koala no march cookies
These cookies from the company Lotte come in a really colourful box with lots of small and cute koala drawings, so I couldn’t help but feel attracted to that design and give them a try.
Not only the external box is cute, the bag inside to preserve the cookies is …
Campbell’s: Chicken & Stars Soup At Hand
Campbell’s: Chicken & Stars Soup At Hand is a decent soup that I turn to when I’m in a hurry and lack time to sit down and have something for lunch. I really like the idea of a soup in a container that does not require a bowl and …
Fancy Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
I use Great Value Fancy Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese to add into salads and for cooking, mostly for hamburger pie (I am also known to throw a handful into my mouth when nobody’s looking - it tastes great and I love it). The finely shredded cheese comes in a …
Birdseye Fresh-like Green Beans
We ended up having a leftover turkey dinner last night and, to go with it, my wife made some Birdseye Freshlike brand Green Beans.
Normally, I like frozen vegetables like this particular brand. But, I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed with them.
First, they just didn’t seem to cook …
RC Cola
RC Cola, for me, takes the middle spot between Coke, the expensive brand name, and Sam’s Cola, the cheap Walmart alternative. RC Cola has a very distinctive “cola” taste, different from Coke and not so mild as Sam’s. The price falls right in between the two as well: A …
Hunt’s Tomato Sauce-No Salt
Here’s another product that I have found along my road of discovery to a healthier me. I love to make homemade spaghetti sauce but thought I had to give it up because of the high salt content in sauces. Boy was I happy to discover this product. I did …
Popcorn Indiana Dark Fudge Chocolate Chip Popcorn
Product Description: Popcorn coated in a light layer of dark chocolate fudge and chocolate chips. We found it at Walgreens but I assume it is available at other stores as well.
What I liked about this product: I am always going to give products like this points for uniqueness and …
Farm Rich Pizza Sticks
While I most definitely love pizza, I most definitely do not love these pizza sticks from Farm Rich. I did not find the flavor of these sticks to be too pleasant, whether it was in regards to the cheese or the pepperoni. I felt that the cheese was weak …
Del Monte Fruit Chillers Sorbet Frosty Peach
The Del Monte Fruit Chillers product line is a favorite of mine during the summer time. When summer arrives at my front doorstep, I start buying Del Monte Fruit Chillers because ice cold frozen fruit treats really taste unbelievably good and refreshing on a steaming summer day. Take this …
Borbello’s Chef’s Supreme Pizza
I already mentioned the Sausage pizza from the brand Borbello’s but I figured I would take a minute to give a quick review of their Chef’s Supreme Pizza; one I actually wasn’t a huge fan of.
The pizza wasn’t terrible, considering I was able to buy two for the price …
Gery Wafelatos
First time I read this product, I thought that it must be a wafel snack which covered by some chocolate, but seeing the picture it seems not. My curious answered when I open the wrap, Gery Wafelatos is not a wafel snack like I thought, but just some other …
Goya Black Beans
I really like Goya black beans. I like to make nachos pretty often and when I do I always use goya black beans in the mix for them. They taste great and are a wonderful addition to the nacho concoction.
I highly recommend making some black beans and adding them …
Rankin Irish Potato Farls
I spotted these potato —˜farls’ in Tesco at a reduced price of only 20p, reduced from the usual price of 81p. I have never eaten a farl before but I like trying new food and these sounded tempting as on the wrapper it says they are great toasted …
Act II popcorn
The Act II popcorn is an instant corn, which comes in a cute and little pack. It is very easy to make the Act II popcorn using these packed corns. These corns come in different 3 flavours. All the flavours are very good. We just …
General Mills Golden Grahams Cereal
I always used to love Golden Grahams when I was younger. This was probably one of my favorite cereals, because General Mills took the concept of graham crackers and put them in a cereal. I don’t know of any other cereal company that uses graham crackers in their cereal. …
Nestle Blue Riband Dark chocolate biscuits
Nestle’s Blue Riband biscuits have been a nice, tasty treat for as long as I can remember, and are still pretty popular, but more recently the company has introduced Blue Riband Dark, which as the name implies are coated with plain rather than the traditional milk chocolate. Also in …
Get All the Veggies You Need in ONE Capsule
It’s nothing new when we hear of parents having difficulty trying to get their children to eat their vegetables. We all know how essential veggies are to one’s health and nutrition for young and old alike. Funny though, how we wonder why most of our offspring prefer meat to …
Cookie Layered Ice Cream Cake
This past fourth of July, I was searching for a dessert that would not only taste sweet and satisfying, but would also be refreshing in the summer heat. When I found the ice cream cake with cookies layered in inside, I knew that I had to try it out. …
Reed’s Ginger Brew
Many of us have grown painfully accustomed to generic brands of gingerale that are essentially composed entirely of sugar, water, and molecules that may have once, at some point in their physical existence, resembled something that might have been classified as ginger.
Reed’s ginger ale (achohol-free), though slightly more expensive, …
Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks
Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks is a snack food item that’s well worth a dollar thirty for a sixteen-ounce bag. A lot of pretzel sticks come in a bag that size, making it ideal for friendly gatherings or even just to have around the house to snack on or have with …
Dolci Frutta: Hard Chocolate Shell
For my Valentine’s Day, my friend and I decided to make chocolate covered strawberries for dessert, so I went out to get the chocolate that we would use as the hard shell. My sister always makes chocolate covered strawberries and warned me that there is a brand of the …
Pop Weaver Light and Buttery Popcorn
Popcorn is a classic favorite that everyone pretty much loves. I usually like to eat the extra buttery popcorn, but I’ve been putting on quite a bit of weight. One of the things I decided to do to shed pounds is to cut calories. I still wanted popcorn and …
Corralejo Reposado Tequila
I love good tequila, and reposado is my favorite. When I saw this fun bottle, I had to give it a try, and I think it’s definitely one of the best I’ve ever had.
For anyone who doesn’t know, a reposado tequila is sort of the middle grounds in terms …
Diet Sobe
As many other self-conscious females, I worry excessively about my weight and therefore do my best to drink only water or the occasional diet beverage. So I was more than a little thrilled when I discovered a bottle of Sobe that was DIET, just up my alley. …
Coca Cola Classic
I have been drinking coke for all my life. I know that many of you have seen the commercials on TV take the taste test between Pepsi and Coke. I personnally like the Coca Cola Classic formula better than the hybirds that they sell. A few years ago …
L’oven Fresh Lemon Loaf Cake
The L’oven Fresh Lemon Loaf Cake is sold at ALDI Food Market stores for two dollars and eighty-nine cents. In one package comes ten slices. That seemed like a good price to me and the cake both looked and sounded good, so I went ahead and purchased a package. …
Jufran Banana Ketchup
I decided to finally try the banana ketchup. How is it different from the normal Del Monte or Heinz tomato ketchup? I love to put ketchup on everything, and when fried fish or chicken is cooked, I put ketchup on it. I really think that food is not complete …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Marshmallow Puffs
Here is yet another rather uninspired and copied snack treat from the Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Marshmallow Puffs Independence Day line. Little Debbie sure likes to take treats that they already have and sell, re-package and re-decorate them while modifying some very small element and then selling them …
Lean Cuisine Salmon with Basil Frozen Entree
I really like this entrée. I continually find that Lean Cuisine has great offerings and knows how to both make typically “unhealthy” meals healthy, and knows how to make healthy meals taste great that might not otherwise would. Their Salmon with Basil Frozen Entrée is an example, in my …
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop
Like I mentioned before, my wife and I ended up picking up some frozen TV dinners at Walmart this past weekend. She chose the Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop.
It turned out to be an OK dinner for her but wasn’t overly impressive either.
Considering the money, there was plenty …
Healthy Choice Pumpkin Squash Ravioli
I was interested in trying some frozen entrees from the All Natural Entrees line that Healthy Choice has newly-created. When Wal-Mart had them on sale, I bought almost all of them, including the Pumpkin Squash Ravioli. I’ve never had ravioli stuffed with something other than cheese or …
Seattle Cider Co. Dry Hard Cider
Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like the “girly” drinks, the sweet drinks that have so much sugar in them, you need whiskey as a chaser. This is especially true when it comes to hard cider. Apples are naturally a sweet fruit, and they’re what a lot of …
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 …
