McEnnedy American Way Honey and Mustard Dressing

Michelina’s Penne with Chicken

Kinder Bueno Candy Bar
There are so many varieties of American candies on the market why venture out into the unknown world of foreign offerings? There are, however, many reasons! In my experience American candy is often extremely sweet and dense, making it difficult to eat even a single bar without needing to …

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 …

Great Day Breakfast: Original Mini Piggies ‘n Pancakes

McDonald’s McMuffin, Philippines

Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage
Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage is a delightful alternative to regular pork or beef sausage. The “lite” variety has a bit less sodium than other sausages. But if you’re on a strict sodium diet, you may not want to indulge in too much of this. The sodium …
Nestle Rolo Ice-Cream
I keep finding new and wonderful flavours of ice-cream, and now that I may have found the best ever, I will likely gain much weight this summer. To make matters worse, the size of the container is about twice the size of Haagen-Dazs or Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream, for about …
Marks & Spencer’s Cappuccino Chocolate Sponge Roll

Domino’s Pizza Tate’s New Chicken

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
While I’ve also done a review on the regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, I really wanted to do one on this product as well because as odd as it seems, there’s a bit of a difference between the regular product and this bag of miniatures.
When I was growing up, …
Quakers Cereal Bar: Apple Crisp

CHI-CHI’S FIESTA SALSA

Little Bites Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
This quite an odd combination of flavors. Banana and chocolate, together? I have heard and seen people eat bananas dipped in chocolate before, but I have never done so myself. As for these Little Bites Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, I still really cannot say what I think of a …
Tesco Kick Energy Drink
This is the Supermarket Tesco’s version of the brand name version of an Energy Drink. I do sometimes drink the brand name version but it is so expensive compared to the Supermarket ones.

Creme de Pirouline Artisan Rolled Wafers
One thing that I definitely love is chocolate especially sometimes when I’m having one of those cravings for something sweet. However, what dampens the mood each time is that I can’t seem to stomach things that are “too sweet”. Therefore, I usually end up eating certain brands of chocolate …
Nestle Pure Life bottled water

Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage is merely a decent breakfast meal. It could most certainly be tastier and a higher quality, but as is, it is edible and mildly enjoyable as long as I add a few things to the meal, like scrambled eggs and a bagel. Only then …
Baja Fresh Vegetarian Nachos
When I’m in the west coast, I always visit Baja Fresh. It’s a health-conscious Mexican restaurant that doesn’t use lard, trans-fats, and MSG. I usually get their nachos because their chips taste so fresh —“ they deep-fry tortillas around the clock to supply their customers with fresh …
Clorets Chewing Gum
There are many different “fresh breath” gums out there but by far I think the most effective bad breath fighter is the little green chicklet sized gum squares made by the Cadbury-Adams company called “Clorets”. This gum has an ingredient called Actizol that is supposed to be very …

With a net weight of 7 ounces, Banquet Beef Pot Pies are a small, but tasty pot pie that is sold in a cardboard pie “tin”. Although the poultry (chicken and turkey) pot pies are my favorites, I also am quite fond of …
Michelina’s Vegetables & Stir Fry
This is a pretty good frozen meal that has quite a lot to offer in terms of flavor variety, but the main problem it suffers from is that there just aren’t enough vegetables tossed in with the rice. My wanting of more vegetables is partially a good thing as …

Jack’s Pizza
My favorite kind of frozen pizza is the brand, Jack’s. It comes in all different types (supreme, pepperoni, cheese, etc.). Generally, the pizzas only have one type of crust, which has a medium amount of thickness. The pizzas are usually about $2 if you purchase it …
Magnum Double Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
I picked up the new Magnum Double Peanut Butter ice cream bars the other day at the store after seeing several adds for it on tv. I am a sucker for anything with peanut butter and chocolate. The cost was $3.99 for a box of 3.

Sugar Crisp Cereal

All my life growing up around southwest Ohio i just could never get enough of Graeters and same goes for now. Graeters is located throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky so if you ever come up here make sure not pass up this amazing ice cream. When you walk in …
